There is now, it is stated, hiriy. four Protes-
tant Missionaries laboring among the three hum
dred millions of China, under the direction of
three American and two English Societies. =
These Missionaries are, as yet, confined chiefly
to the five open ports, at each of which there is

DEEP FLOWING.

Extract from letter the Cultvator, dated GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, jan 10th, from ~. l.. G. c."
/" For the last few years, have been
trying to reclaim an old farm that had
been pretty well "used up" by shallow
ploughing. Some six years since we
plowed an old field, (giving it first good
dressing of manure,) about six inches
deep. 1t had previously been plowed
about four inches, and some of our
knowing ones" told us we were killing
it by turning up the yellow clay, but
nothing daunted, and following the
maxim, that if we try our plan and fail,
we have no one else to blame for it, we
persevered and had pretty good crop.
Being encouraged by this, we made an
other trial of a similar nature. The
field had been much washed and quilted,
it being more billy than the former
After filling up the gullies and " leveling
up'' the deep hollows, and applying a
dressing Of manure, we plowed it in a
similar manner to the former, sowing
oats, and had toerable crop; in the
fall we plowed again with three horses.
This time the pillow went in nine or ten
inches deep, bringing up portions of
manure with about three inches more
of clay subsoil, and left the stubble
some inches below the surface. 1t was
narrowed well, and sowed to wheat
and l had thirty bushels to the acre.
This was the summer of 1915, when
some of our neighbors did not get five,
and but few got twenty bushels per
acre. AS we failed to get it in grass,
we plowed about twelve inches deep,
with four horses, and sowed another
crop of wheat, which last harvest avera.
ged thirty-fve bushels per acre. As
was stated. the fields were very much
washed and quilted, which in part |
charge to shallow blowing, for when the
ground is mellow but few inches deep,
the rains soon saturate it, and it becomes
so thin that it slips off almost bodily to
the hard subsoil, or forms small gullies
which soon run together TO make large
ones but when deep, the rain is taken
up by the soil, which being so much
more mellow, it seldom has tendency
to run off, but is retained in the earth
to give nourishment to the crop; where
as, in shallow blowing, if it docs not
wash off, the soil is so thin that few
hot days penetrate and dry up all the
moisture. And farther, not one of the
old gulles have washed out, although
we have had some very hard showers
and where you could formerly bury &
horse, now there is no trace Of such {
wash

Sheepish Wisdom and Swinish
SagaCity.

A writer in the Boston Cultivator says
that if you go out in foggy morning, and
find the sheep standing without feeding,
there will be no heavy fall Of rain that
day. If you find them very hungry,
and eating eagerly, you may be sure OF
plenty of rain before night.
We have noticed that swine can fore
tell the weather. Some years ago we
had a SOW that had litter Of pigs during
the hottest part Of July. She was in a
small field, and we observed that instead
of going into her pen during nights, she
laid out. One warm evening, when we
went to feed her, we found that she had
taken herself and pigs into the pen. 1t
was warm and pleasant, and every thing
looked fair; but we told brick maker.
who was passing by, that he had better
secure any brick that he had out, for he
would have rain before long. He laugh
ed at the idea and passed on. Mex,
morning it rained copiously, and the
brick-maker as he came Out of the yard
with rueful countenance, enquired how
we knew it was going to rain so soon
We referred him to the old Solc for oul
authority. Goblet says that they not
only know when it is going to rain, but
can tell which way the wind is going to
blow, too, and will always take shelter
where they will be in the lee, if left tc
their choice.

maid Of the ever green shade was chaste
and refined and had such mind as
you seldom will find among the gay
maids of laughter grades.
A lover she had who would have been
glad to capture her heart by his schem-
ing art. O'Handy his name, and dan
dy by fame, who though wrinkled and
parched was whiskered and starched,
and displayed quite a rare and Gifted
air.
Well, he knelt at her feet and began
to entreat, while his great bosom beat
with unmerci(ul heat and he told her
a tale as he deemed would not fail to
make her believe that he could not de-
ceive.
While thus he knelt pleading, while
thus interceding, he thought by her
smiling that his words were beguiling.
But he found the conclusion hopeless
delusion--for that maid was unlinklng
his scheme-was thinking; and she
thought in a thinking, she'd give him a
sprinkling of the well peppered ointment
of black disappointment. Ere he drew
TO close he turned up her nose, as
you may suppose, just as high as she
chose; and scorning his prose, through
his pleading she broke, and thus twas
she spoke.
ooh great is your fame; O'Handy
by name-from the city you came with
your heart all flame and you thought
in the shade Of mountain or glade, to
capture maid by pomp and parade
Oh save all your tears, your hopes and
your fears, your ducks and your 'dears'
for some other ears. All men are
agreed you're nice bird indeed but
your figures too lean, you're too gaunt
and too green; and that is.not all, you're
excessively tall you're nose is too big
you've voice like a pig and you
wear huge wig, while your upper liE
seems Just the shade Of your Dreams
Now my answer you know-there's The
door, you may go!"
Still he fingered to plead in his love
and his need-and he boosted and tolc
OF his titles and Sold--ber statlon IN lllt
whom he choose for his wife. But he
found twas no part of mountain
maids heart to bear insult and wrong
from an eye or tongue. That maic
could not brook such word and sucI
look, and she caught down broom tina
hung in the room, and hit him blow
that made the blood flow gracefully
slow. He lit on all four just out of the
door all covered with gore. Then he
sprang to his feet, and considered i
sweet and exceedingly meet to beat ;
retreat to cover defeat, and he fled from
the place in shame and disgrace-dis
appeared DER the green and was neve
more seen-and ever since then Cit,
dandiied men have learned to bewar,

A Witty Parson.

A Scotch clergyman by the name of
Witty Morrison, was man of great
laughter and humor. On one occasion
a young officer scofied at the idea that
it required so much time to write ser
mon, as ministers pretended, and offered
bet that he would preach half an hour
on any passage in the Old Testament,
without any preparation. Mr.. Morrison
took the bet, and gave him for a text ;
"And the Ass opened his mouth and
spake." The parson won the wager,
the officer being rather disinclined to
employ his eloquence upon the text.
On another occasion, Mr.. Morrison
entreated an officer TO pardon a poor
soldier for some offence he had commit
ted. The officer agreed TO do so, if he
would, in return, grant him the first favor
he should ask Mr.. Morrison agreed to
this. In day or two, the officer de-
handed that the ceremony of baptism
should be performed on puppy. The
clergyman agreed TO it and party oil
many gentlemen assembled to witness
the novel baptism.
Mr.. Morrison desired the officer 10
hold up the dog, as was customary in
the baptism of children, and said. As
| am a minister of the church of Scot.
land, | must proceed according to the
cerem ony of the church."
Certainly" said the Major,"I expect
all the ceremony"
"Well, then, Major, | begin with the
usual question You acknowledge your.
self the father Of his puppy ?"
A roar of laughter burst from the
crowd, the officer threw the candidate
for baptism away. Thus the witty min.
lister turned the laugh against the officer
who pretended TO derde the sacred or.
dinance.

The Green Mountain Maid.


The following play upon words, which
our correspondent, E. Benjamin Gage,
sends US, may amuse many of our read
ers:
twas beautiful spot where the vine
covered cot of the mountaineer stood in
the edge of the wood. There the for
est birds song echoed all the day long
and the mountain stream played in the
edge of the shade; while the graceful
young fawn crept the heritage at dawn
from the wide spreading lawn. Twas
beautiful spot-'twas beautiful cot
and surely there ne'er was maiden
more fair, nor a maiden more rare than
the maid that dwelt there. Shall | pic
ture this maid of the green wood and
glade as she was in the day when old
"Allen" held sway, while his iron-nerv-
ed men were the pride Of the glen
She was neither too tai, too short, MOI
too small, nor SO light nor so airy as the
form of fairy. But the pride of the
glade was this rosy checked maid, with
eyes quite as blue as the summers sky
hue, and the tresses of brown flowing
gracefully down and nesting below in
bosom of snow. She could MARBLE
and sing like the songsters of spring
she could spin and could sweep, and
could NOW and could reap could ride
the grey steed at the top of his speed
and had sported trihe with her fathers
old rifle. And this bouncing young
