For making this into barrel lots the utensils required are a forty gallon barrel, two tubs of twenty galâ€" lons each, two buckets, a paddle and a coarse sack. Arrange the tubs so that one is on either side of the barrel!; place in one of the tubs 20 gallons of water and dissolve in it four pounds of bluestone, doing this by suspending the bluestone in a coarse sack just beâ€" low the surface of the water. In the other tub carefully slake four pounds of lime with hot water, being careful to use just enough water to form a thick paste. When this has cooled dilute to twenty gallons with water. After thoroughly stirring the contents of both tubs pour a bucketful from each simultaneously into the barrel, taking care that the two streams mix. When the barrel is fu‘l, thoroughly stir the blue mixture, strain into the spray tamk, and the preparation is ready for use.

In every diâ€" \rection, as far as the evye could reach, heavilyâ€"laden vines hung their graceâ€" ful heads, crowned with fair grapes ‘of finest varieties. The path pointed out. by the master of the vineyard lay through a bower that arched above | the lad‘s head. ~ |\â€" Great white and pink clusters, purple and violet bunches, at every step, tempted his eager hand; but he | plucked none. Though good judgment ‘ whispered him that he could scearcely ‘expect to find any more desirable, he | thought: So he passed joyously on, snuffing the sweet fragrance of the vine, listenâ€" ing to the happy songs of innumerable birds, that filled the garden with me!â€" ody, and almost forgetting the empty A youth started early in the mornâ€" ing, that he might reach his father‘s house by nightfall. His way lay over a wonderful highroad, that was alâ€" ways changing. Sometimes it was hilly, and the traveler looked at the valley below. Sometimes it was level and deep, and he gazed up at the majestic mountains. He whistled merrily as he walked briskly atong, admiring the beautiful country, glorious in the misty purple of morning. Byâ€"andâ€"by he came to a high stone wall, over whose top he caught glimpses of thrifty vines. "My basket is small; so, though these grapes are unusually fine, they shall not be plucked by me. They may do for ordinary boys, but I will have the rarest that grows!" He turned around and saw a maâ€" jestic ‘being, who glided toward him without any perceptible motion of his own. The youth politely doffed his hat, and wished the stranger goodâ€" morning. "Oh, that ; had some of the deliâ€" cious fruit that must surely burden yonder vines!" thought he, looking up, longingly. While thus standing, covetously gazing at the waving leaves so far above him, all at once he knew that some one was behind himâ€"not by sound, for all was still, save the lazy drone of insectsâ€"but by an uneasy sensation, that thrilled through his spinal cord to his brain like electricity. And the being turned to a great iron gate in the wall, that quietly opened when he laid his-hund upon it. "Your path," said thke spirit, "lies directly through this vineyard. As you walk on, you may gather your basketful of any kind of grapes that you fancy most, though you can fill it but once, and must gather the fruit as you come to it; for it is not perâ€" mitted you to return for what you have once passed." "I understand that you long for some of the fruit in my vineyard, and I am going to gratify that longing." Rejoicing in his good fortune, the youth followed the generous being into his garden. The gate closed no{selessly behind them. The youth looked back; he saw nothing but the high stone wall. The gate had vanâ€" ished. As the spirit finished, he smilingly waved his hand to the youth, and was gone. ‘ h *4 38 * The spirit graciously smiled, as returned ‘the salutation, adding: Goingâ€"Away Place Cards.

Hurâ€" rying on, he peered eagerly among the leaves for one fine cluster, only one; but all, all were wild and small. And so he walked onward, still hoping for impossibilities, till the evening shadows fell over him,"the boundaries of the vineyard were passed, and ho | stood upon the highway, with his useâ€" |less basket on his arm. "Pshaw!" said he, disdainfully, reâ€" suming his jJourney. "Think I‘d look at such grapes? No, indeed! I rather guess not!" w The weary wayfarer turned, and, in the twilight distance, saw the magiâ€" cian who had opened the gate to him in the morning. . C Again the traveler paused to look around him. The arbor arched above him as gracefully as ever, but he could seo the blue sky between the green leaves, for the vines were not so luxurious as those of the morning, and the fruit that clustered on them, though still fine and rich, compared, in variety and beauty, but poorly with those he had passed. "Alas!" cried he, mournfully, lookâ€" Ing back. "Far away in the beautiful past, I left ungathered the glorious fruit that morning so generously ofâ€" fered; tingraciously refused the excelâ€" lent harvest that noon pressed upon me, and, with scarcely a glance, passâ€" ed the wild fruit of afternoon. It is now evening; yonder is my father‘s house, where I go emptyâ€"handed. Never, oh never again, can I have the glorious opportunities I neglected to seize while they clustered thick around "No," said the solemn, farâ€"away voice, "never again! You pass but once through the garden of life; if its rich offerings are refused, they are never proffered a second time. Hence you have nothing left you but repentence!" Prominent dentists have stated that fresh fruits are exceilent for the teeth. They act as a dentifrice beâ€" cause of their cellulose fibres and the acids which stimulate the flow of saliva which keeps the mouth clean. In this delightful manner the sweet morning passed, and noonâ€"day found the youth, with heated brow, still with his empty basket. Noon was gone, and afternoon, from beneath her heavy eyelids, saw the youth with his unfilled basket still walking idly on. The vines were now thin and poor, the fruit small and frequently unripe, though here and there hung a fine cluster. basket that hung lightly on his young arm. me!"

When the chicks are little, before they learn to scratch, regardless of what type of litter is used, it is a good plan to feed the chicks scratch feed for the first week on a piece of wood or cardboard. Aâ€"shingle or an eggâ€"caso flat is ideal. In cerder to avoid coccidiosis and other troubles resulting from contamâ€" inated brooders, it is wise to clean the brooder floor frequently, especially during bad weather, when the chicks are of necessity confined to the house a good deal of the time. A brooder floor should be cleaned out every ten days to two weeks. Soms litter is desirable. It should; not be too deep. From half an inch to ; an inch in depth is sufficent. For this‘ purpose there is nothing better than | shortâ€"cut clover hay. Shortâ€"cut aifaifa‘ hay is good, although rather coarse.| In the absence of hay, cut straw makes | a good litter. Shortâ€"cut litter of this kind dries up the droppings quickly by absorbâ€" ing the moisture. It also buries the droppings and keeps the feeding floor clean. Shavings should not be used as a babyâ€"chick litter. It is rather coarse and rough, and what is of even greater danger is the possibility of their eating small pieces of the shavâ€" ings, causing impacted crops and diâ€" gestive disorders. It should be cut into lengths about an inch long when the chicks are litâ€" tle. After they get older it can be lengthened, until they are eight to nine weeks old when it can be cut into four or fiveâ€"inch lengths. * Often it is the practice to brood chicks or sand without any layer of litter material over it. This is decidedâ€" Iy wrong, for the reason that the sand gets hot and dry and radiates the heat and creates an exceptionally dry, hot atmosphere. Sand alone also dries up the chicks‘ feet, especially early in the season beâ€" fore they run outâ€"ofâ€"doors much. _ Best Litter for Chicks. | _ V. 2.

We have already seen this young lawyer from Tarsus giving proof of his legal zeal by being a partyâ€"and an unmoved and comâ€" placent oneâ€"to the denth of Stephen, Acts 7:58; 8:1. Thereafter Saur had flung himself heart and soul Qlo the crusade against Christianity.

There shone round about him a light from heaven, which had the immediate effect of bringing him to his knees. Vs. 4, 5. The vision had for its centre the living Jesus, raised from death and crowned with glory. Prosâ€" trate on the earth, Saul hears a voice saying, "Saul, Saul, why dost thou fersecute me?" "Who art Thou, .ord?" he stammered, already, perâ€" ha%s. conscious who it is that speaks to him.
