Troy Conference.

The Troy Conference held its session in AL
bauy, commencing April II, Bishop Ames pre-
siding. Rev. r. II. Robinson was elected sec
retarv Rev. A. Withersdoon, d. D., who by
the action of the late Gereral Conference. in
changing the boundaries of the Troy Confer
ence, fell into the Vermont Conference, objected
to the omission Of his name in the calling Of
the roll, at the same time denyiug the power of
the General Conference to transfer him to an
other conference. But the Bishop decided that
he could not be recognized as member of The
Troy Conference DR.. Witherspoon then said
should appeal from that decision to the General
Conference The Bishop then decided that as
the doctor was member of another conference
the appeal could not be entertained, neither
could he be permitted to speak on the floor of
the Troy Conference without permission. The
Troy Conference then granted him liberty to
speak. ..

The best Tool for TilIage,

The stirring Of the soil, after the crops are
started, is a matter OF the first Importance.
From one-half to three 'l0urths of crop o.
corn may be made by i;I!age alone. On old
land, well stocked with weeds, not over twenty
bushels to the acre could be realized without
cultivation. Twice hoeing and cu!tivatng
would probably add zen bushels to the acre,
and twice more would bring the crop up to
forty bushels per acre. We have seen esti-
mates from farmers, who xpelimented upon
this point, showing that every hoeing added
from five to ten bushels to the acre,
A great deal of ingenuity has been ex-
pended upon the implements Of tilIage. The
hoe is good enough, but for its expensiveness
The light horse pow, Or sweep, is much more
economically but these tools require two or three
furrows to each row, and are pretty heavy
tax upon the strength Of the horse. The
horse harrow, and cultvator, are gr at i'm
provcments upon the p low, for they are much
lighter, and stir the ground deep enough
The horse-hoo is y much lighter implement
than the cultivator, and if farmer is in-
veStipg in new tools, he should get this in
preference to the cultivator. 1t is merely
question ot economlZlng the strength of the
horse. a good stecl-toothed cultiValor will
make a clean sweep Of every weed within an
inch of the rows of corn, and stir the ground
deep enough. A horse-hoe could not do the
WORK much better, though it would draw ca
sier, and the horse might get over 8 little
more ground in day.
We need not SO much better implements
Of tllage as q more frequent use Of those
we have. Corn can be cultivated wholly
with the horse, after the first wedding, if the
rows run both ways; and we doubt if any
better use can be made of horse.hosh, after
the first Of June, than to keep it running be-
tween the rows of cora. We are confident
that five times cultivating viii pay much
better than once, or twice. As between the
horseshoe, and the steel-toothed cuitivator
upon smooth land, we should say, that is the
best which is most used

PRICE, TWO CENTS.

AS soon as the plants have attained the
height of one inch, let them be thiuned out
TO ii single plant, and in two or three days
move the pots into the green house. or o,her
cool place, to harden the plants. As soon as
the pots begin to be full OF roots, which will
qe the case in two or three weeks, let the
plants be moved into pots size larger, and
in two or three weeks time the plants may be
placed in the rows where they are to re-
main.
If increased by dividing the roots, take
care that there is a bud for each part you in
tend to plant; let one Of those buds lie
placed in the centre on each pot, and as soon
as they begin to be filed with roots, &c.,
treat them the same as the seedlings In
making the ground or rows ready for plant
ing, throw out the earth two feet in b cadth,
and to the depth OF twenty inches let this
be filled up with equal parts leaf mould, rich
oamy earth, the soil which is thrown out OF
the trench, if Of a moderate quality. and one
part OF good rotten dung, to which add
small quantity Of sharp sa d let all these
be Incorporated together. FilI up the trenches
sufficiently high to allow for setting.
plants out of the pots into the middle of the
trench, three feet apart in the row, aud if
double row, let them be four feet, row from
row. If the above instructions be prop crly
attended to, rhubarb of tirst.rate quality
will be produced. he only manag~ ment re-
quired afterwards is to keep tho rows clear
from weeds, aud every autumn TO fork the
ground over TO the depth of four or five in
ches covering the same with a good coat of
rotten manure; take care not to injute the
crowns in forkiDg.
As soon as any Of the plants begin to run
up for towering let the stem be Immediately
cut off, which will be the means of hceping
the plants in much stronger growing state
for, when they are allowed to retain the flow

Rhubarb.

The different kinds Of rhubarb are raised
from seeds, and increased by that means, Of
by dividing the roots; the latter is prefera-
bic for increase, as there is much greater
advantage in getting good strong plants in
one half the time they could be had from
seed. If raised from seed, SOW in sixty
sized pots, very thinly, in mixture of earth
consisting Of one-half leaf mould and one
half rich loamy earth; place the pots in
cucumber frame, OF hot-house, until the plants
make their appearance, which will be in
very short time, provided the seed is sown in
April ..'.

DETECTING FROZEN SEED CORN John e.
Stranahaz, Macomb County, Michigan, writes
that seed corn injured by freezing, may tc
detected by closely examining the part OF the
hull covering lho germ OF the kernel. When
unipiured, the thin skin CT hull is smooth
over the whole kernel, but If Injured by
frost, it will be loosened from the kernel,
particularly at the germ. 1t is important to
take every precaution in this matter, as hun.
dreds of acres fail every year from imperfec-
ton in the seed, much of which is. undoubt-
edly caused by having been frosted before
dry. Iu all cases it is better 10 sprout lit
tic before planting, to test its goodness.
