Early Origin, IIIstory and Nature of

An occasion Of the highest interest to a
very large slare of our religious community
Is to take plnce in this city during the coming
week, In the annual meeting of the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions.
Il Is the pioneer Forelcn Missionary organic.

on the essential points OF the Christian reli-

Commissioners for Foreign Missions ia closely

country, and with our relations to the outside
world, and to such extent and importance as
to possess q value On purely SECULAR and

Buckwheat.

The buckwheat crop is one which, during
the coming season, should be largely cultivated
Every available acre Of land should be brought
into profitable play during these times, in or.
der that the resources of the country may be
fully developed, and its prosperity increased
Amongst the means of adding to our resources
We may name the cultivation of buckwheat
This grain may be grown on land which is toe
poor to produce almost any other crop, and es
pecially upon that which has been cropped and
not manured. as wheat stubble of the present
year. e"
1t is contended BY some that buckwheat is
an exhausting crop; but it is doubtful whether
IL exceeds, in this particular, any of the other
cereals. Where such results are anticipated, il
may be well to apply dressing of bone dust
super phosphate, or, what has been found to
be equally advantageous, leached ashes. IL is
not well to have the soil too rich, or to apply
manures of highly stimulating character to
this crop, as the stalks become too rank, fall to
the ground, and light seed and small quantity
are the consequences, besides great difficulty
in curing, as the stem of the plant is very sue.
cnlent.
The proper time fer cutting buckwheat is
important. If delayed till fully ripe, great
portion of the seed will be lost, as it readily
separates from the stem. II, on the other hand
it is cut too soon, there is great difficulty in
curing the succulent stalks. Probably the best
time for cutting is when some of the seeds only
are fully ripened; but under any circumstances
there will be loss of seed, in consequence oil
the irregularity of the ripening. In sowing, il
Is well not to SOW seed too thickly. From hall
bushel to three pecks per acre will be found
sufficient, as general rule.-Rural World.

Chinch Buss-Burning Straw.

The chinch bugs we're more numerous the
past season in this country than ever before.
in some fields they appeared before the wheat
was headed, and those fields were entirely de-
stroyed in other fields their appearance was
later, and finally they were to be found every
where, even on the wild, unbroken prairie. In
some cases, new land, broken last year, was
nearly exempt from their ravages, and in other
fields of like character, the wheat was entirely
destroyed. On one of my fields OF thirteen
acres, two thirds of which was plowed in the
Fall, by going round the field, and the balance
plowed in the Spring, and all sowed the same
day, the wheat on the Fall blowing was fit to
cut about the time the bugs made their ap
pearance, consequently was but little injured I;
while that on the Spring blowing was injured
one half, and was cut one week before the re-
mainder of the field, it having ripened prema-
turely, and was in a fair way to fall entirely to
the ground.
l have practiced for many years, spreading
wheat straw evenly over the ground at thresh-
ing time, and afterwards burning it, thereby
destroying all the weeds, and think, many in
sects. ! have always noticed that land thus
treated invariably produces nice, plump wheat,
and bright, glossy straw, which is sure to
stand well. For those farmers that have not
sufficient stock to consume all their straw,
consider it the most economical way to dispose
of il. Ii labor was cheaper, it perhaps might
be better to bury it in the furrow at blowing,
but that would involve the labor of one or
more extra hands, and doubt if the increased
benefit would equal the expense.
The experience l have had with the chinch
bug would indicate that the best course to pur-
sue to prevent its ravages, is to burn and clear
off all grass and litter in the Fall as soon as
practicable, to spread all straw not wanted for
fodder, on stubbie ground, and burn it. Pillow
early, as soon after harvest as possible. Sow
early, as soon as the frost is out, and harvest
as soon as the straw begins to turn yellow
Those farmers that pursue this course, usually
suffer but little from their ravagcs.-CSr. Rural
NeD Yorker.

ssMOre Hay.n

A old gentleman, Who was always Dragging
how folks used to work in younger days, one
day challenged his two sons to pitch on load
of hay as fast as he could load it. The chal-
lenge was accepted, the hay wagon driven
round, and the trial commenced. For some
time the old man held his own very creditabiy,
calling out, "More hay more hay =" Thicker
and faster it came. The old man was nearly
covered, still he kept crying, "More hay more
hay" At length, struggling to keep on the
top of the ill-arranged heap, it began first to
roll, then to slide, and at last of it went from
TIE wagon, and the old man with it. "What
are you down here for 7" cried the bows. 81

Stasgers.

The usual form Of staggers which occur
among horses in this part Of the country, are
Stomach StagGers and Sleepy Staggers; in the
first case, the animal is usually the subject Of
ver-distension of the stomach, and, when urg-
ed to move, sfag9ers like a drunken man in
the latter case, the function of the stomach is
paralyzed, and the animal is somnolent OF
sleepy.
The usual exciting causes Of such affections
are, over feeding and want of proper exercise,
yet it may arse from hard work when the ami.
NAL is the subject of an over distended stom-
ach.
TREArMENT.-Both the above affections may
be treated as follows: Give the patient six
ounces Of table salt, one ounce ginger, in q
half pint of hot water. and throw the same in
10 the rectum. In the course of couple hours,
the dose may be repeated. The diet should
consist of sloppy brand mashes, well seasoned
With salt. IL ------------ 49, -----

Down in Centre street, the other night, a
stout woman of the Irish persuasion, Who had
just rolled barrel of ale into her den, sat
down on the head of it to get breath, and cool
herself after the intense physical exertion incl
dent upon the deposit of said barrel in the ac-
customed corner, Though she had ceased
working, the ale did not. and presently burst
out the head of the barrel, hosting the old lady
to the ceiling. demolishing her bottles and

after looking for a moment at the ruin, wildly
exclaimed, "Ah, be Jabers, bad luck to the

Valuable Disinfectant.

One pound of green copperas, sulphuret Of
iron, costing eight cents, dissolved in one quart
of water, poured down privy. will eifectually
concentrate and destroy the foulest smells For
water closets aboard ships and steamboats,,
about hotels and other public places, there is
nothing so nice to cleanse them as simple green
copperas. Placed under the bed, in anything
that will hold water, it will render hospital
or other places Tor the sick, free from unpleas-
ant smells. For butchers stalls, fish markets,
slaughter houses, sinks, and wherever there are
offensive and putrid gases, dissolve copperas
and sprinkle it about, and in a few days the
smells will pass away. If cat, rat, or mouse
has died about the house, and sends forth an
offensive gas, place some dissolved copperas in
an open vessel, near the place where the nui-
sance is, and it will soon purify the atmosphere.
