Saving the Pear Tree.

The tree that had borne bushels of fine pears was stricken with blight Six ends of limbs were brown, ■women folks of the family were de

„-pendent on that 15-year-old standard

tree for pears to eat and to preserve. They diagnosed the case, and by the application of domestic remedies saved the tree. Two years have passed since, and no signs of blight and no

diminution oT fruit.

First the affected limbs were sawed off about two feet from the tips, and burned. Tbe ground was raked and Chopped of every blade of grass and weed. A trench about a foot deep, in a circle, all around, and as far out as the shade of the limbs extended, was spaded oirv and filled in wltb wood ashes and old dried dairy compost. The trunk of the tree was scrubbed with the waste kitchen water, strong suds of gold dust washing powder, every few days. During July and August the trench was watered twice or three times a week, and wood ashes scattered over the ground under the tree once ' each month. This routine, whether sustained by acience. bad the effect of bringing the family favorite pear tree back to Its normal condition, and for two years past has so con-

Blankets for Horses Touching upon tbe use of blankets for horses, a good horseman says they are au essential feature for stable nse. when horses are standing there in the winter season. He says: "A blanket should always be thrown over the horse In cold weather of spring and autumn, when standing after being driven. While the horse Is working there Is no danger that he will suffer frpm the cold. If a blanket is used the average horse will sweat and the moisture will be retained, and in this way the danger from taking cold la much greater. A horse should always be blanketed, when standing In a draft or In the rain, using a cloth or rubber blanket, as the case may be. After a bard drive and the horse has become heated, do not cover him for about Ove minutes, letting him steam. Then pot on a light blanket; allow this to remain half an hour, then remove this and put on your heavy one. This gives the animal s warm, dry covering, after you have removed the light blanket, which Is wet from the steam of the horse. A thorough rubbing first, if convenient. Is excellent. In blanketing your horse see that the blanket Is sufficiently large to cover the animal from neck to tail: see also that the breast flat* are auffleient to protect thla sensitive part, and that the aides and flank are fully protected If not do not buy It at any price.—In

Pouftry Notes. Season soft food with salt. It sharp ens appetite and aids digestion. Hens will pay well for table scraps It is wasteful to feed them to mongrel dogs and cats. Why are fowls tbe most profitable creatures a farmer keeps? Because for every grain they give a peck. Before you give a sick fowl liquid medicine, be sure that Its nostrils are clear, or it may be strangled to death Utter In which there la tough, wiry bay Is not safe to put on the scratching floor. If eaten It causes cross-pound conditions. Keep a record of both your sales and expenses, and don't forget to give the hens credit tor what you consume is your own family. Much time Is wasted on farms by tbe men folks that might be made prof liable by paring for the poultry and pro dneing winter eggs. Poultry raising has many ad ran tages In that there la always a small Income from tbe beginning, from the eggs and chickens, old and young. To renew the vitality of a flock It Is at necessary to cross-breed and maka them mongrels. Better get males of a different strain or family of the same variety. lere is a certain time when poultry that are being flxtteoed are Just ripe and (It to kill. If left even for a few days beyond this period, they lose rather than gain In flesh, and the extra food given them may be regarded as s useless expanse. This condition In the birds, whether (burls, turkeys ot ducks, can readily be told by aa expert, and any one. of course, ga by- practice and observation, quite worth while for B~ ere to try-to gala thla k

During the period which began when the Cbriat Child west down from ■tnoog t dor tore in the temple to the Galilean hoi to prepare for Hi* public life there ta 01 one bit of defluite information conrerm... Him. and that ia furnished almost acci-

dentally in the text.

The people who had known Hun nil along- were aatonuhed when they heard Hi* savings and aaw His mighty works. The record which He made amone them in bygone year« was worthy of Him and ought to have prepared them to expect large thins* of Him sooner or later, but they could not forget that He had lived Among them aa a common artisan. When He returns to them with all the fame He bad Won and waa about to apend a brief aeaoon with them in order that Hu former friends ami neighbors might not be neglected in Hi* ministry, thev recall Hi* antecedenu. and they aide with mingled wonder and acorn, "la not this the carpenter?" The question establishes the fact that Jesua had been known aa a village carpenter. Krum tbe days of youth until He set oat to do the stupendous work for which He was sent. He accepted tbe trade of Uia reputed father and was occupied largely with its ordinary employment. He belonged to-the "working clewees " A descendant of the royal David He moet solely waa, and yet He thought not of the tbrour of His renowned ancestor. He waa indeed a king, but not after the world'* fashion, for He mme ts be King of men. to rule the heart and conscience oi mankind. He seems to base had no ambition to attain unto a lofty station, and the paraphernalia of earthiv greatness bad uo charms for Hun. His masterful purpose waa to save the world, both tbe classes and the masses, and He would, therefore, identify Himasif personally and actively with the multitude* and not paly with a pnvi - eged few, He could leach prince y virtues without being a prime, and He woaid beneht the host* o: mankind by allying Him self with the ronditiona and experience* of the many. He understood full well that no political contnvafaces could bring the kingdom of God to this earth, and He considered that tha needs of tbe millions could be aerred in no other way than by the moral and spiritual democracy which it

was His mission to establish.

Our Lord was a workingman. It must not, therefore, be supposed that He held a brief or thundered a bull of excommunication against riches. He had something to aay against mammon worship, and Hr warned against the temptations of opulence. but He never branded wealth as ea■entially evil. He taught emphatically that the responsibility of people is in exact proportion to what they have, and that, inasmuch aa money entails numerous obligations. they who hare it can be saved only through toe moat devoted regard for their duties. Some of His disci (das were well-to-do. and both the midnight inquirer and tbe good man of Arimathee were dear to Him. "The common people beard Him gladly." but others were not excluded from His blessing simply because they had possession*. The gift* of the Magi at tbe beginning of His career and tbe neb man's tomb wherein Hi* mangled corpse reposed at tbe last, indicate that Hu mission included both tbe many and the few. He advocated none of tbe insane social or political beteaie* which some believe in now. but, taking full account of human inequalities. He taught the world to do its best, to live manfully amid tbe strains and stress ot life, to use the present situation with All its ills for the glory of God and the wsllbeing of the human family. No Croesus eould have been the Son of Man. The real Son of Man must be typical and representative in every noble way. He must be the brother of the toiling millions who earn their bread in the swest of their face, and who deal every day with the urgent prob-

He accepted the very situation which confront* us. Engaged with tbe occupations of Hu trade during so many years. He exalte industry into a divine virtue and brands sloth ae a deadly sin.

It may not be necessary for any one to be occupied with the burdens of business, but we are all bound to keep in personal tou-b with tbe life of humanity.
