Satin Agriculture

Few farmers are aware of the value
of common salt as manure. 1t is one OF
the cheapest and most abundant of all
substances used as fertilizer, and can
be easily obtained for agricultural pur'
poses.
One peck of salt in each cord of COM
post, will not only hasten the decom-
position of the manures but will kill
seed and Ill grub-a very desirable
effect.
The crops especially benefited by this
manure are Asparagus, the Mangel
Worried, Beets and wheat. In the or
binary nse upon the farm it would per-
haps, be best to mix it with lime in
some form. Salt and plaster mixed in
the propotion of one barrel of the form
er to two of the latter, make an excel
lent manure. The effect is not so plainly
seen in the increased quantity as in the
quality.
Salt is chloride of sodium, ana
when the chloride is liberated in the
soil the soda goes to from new com
pounds.
An experiment was tried at the Mas
sachusetts Agricultural College, to test
the Importance of salt as manure,
Last spring two lots were selected, mp
on which eight bushels of it were sown
broadcast, to the acre. One field was
planted to potatoes, the other s0wn to
oats. The result was that the crop of
potatoes was largely increased, while
shat of tho oats was nearly doubled

Our Mission to Brazil.

Rev. James R, Baird, of S. c., who emigrated
to South America year ago, writes to the South
ern Presbyterian, an account Of the province of
Sac Paulo, in Brazil, where he has settled. As
Campinas, one of the principal towns of this pro-
vince, is the point selected by Messrs. Morton and
Lane for their Mission Station it is interesting to
hear how the providence of God is preparing the
way for them. Mr.. Baird says:
''In all this extensive Empire there are only
three Presbyterian ministers in connexion with our
Southern Church, viz Rev. Mr.. Harvey, in the
valley of the Amazon, and Rev. w. Q. Emerson
and myself in this community. | rejoice, howev-
er, to know that our Southern Church is about to
send some two or three brethren to some point in
Brazil to labor among the natives Of this coun-
try. | have not understood what point, Or
whether any point has yet been selected tor the
location of this mission. hope, however, 1t will
be located in Campinas, considerable town some
thirty miles from Santa Barbara
1.-The Province of Sac Paulo, of which Campi-
mas is one of the principal towns, contains more
Southern emigrants, perhaps than any other pro-
vince in the Empire. Most Of these too, live
within twenty or thirty miles from Camplnas, and
would doubtless aid in the establishment OF such
mission; and the mission could operate through
and by them on the natives, thus mutually bene-
fitting and aiding each other in the cause OF Christ

Dear Brother Brown,-It is not my habit to
trouble you or the public with audatory notices of
schools, or books, or any thing else. 1t is some.
times, however, my privilege to become acquaint-
ed with schools as well as other things which l
deem it duty to the Church and to the public to
tell them Of
1t was my privilege recently while on short
visit to Rockbridge county, to be present at the
closing exercises of the Fancy Hill Classical School,
consisted in declamations and original speeches,
and dialogues, and in the distribution of prizes,
we're highly creditable to the pupils. The whole
was closed with an address by the Rev. Mr.. Pratt,
of Lexington, on the teacher and his work, in
which he dwelt on three points, the materials on
which the teacher works, the product he seeks to
evolve, and the limitations to his success. This
address was one Of very unusual excellence full of
suggestive thought to all parents and teachers, and
which we hope will find its way into print for wider
usefulness.
We had occasion to find out very particularly the
character and standing of the pupils, the amount
of actual study, and the strong religious influence
pervading the school, and we're greatly gratifed
We have rarely known boys school in which the
religious and moral culture was combined with the
most thorough intellectual discipline so happily
and so successfully. The pupils show that the
manners the morals and the heart as we'll as the
intellect, have received full and udcious training
About one half of the pupils we're professors of
religion, and six or seven had made profession
during the last term. In addition to the Bible
class, they have weekly prayer meeting conducted
by themselves, but attended and participated in
by the Principal.
We would most cordially commend this school to
the attention of Christian parents should it con-
tinue as we trust it may, to be under the same in
struction. We know its Principal to be most
patient, thorough, and able teacher, pure, high
toned gentleman, and an earnest Christian, seek
ing to make his work as teacher means of glor.
flying God. He has also the advantage of ten
years experience and the cordial commendation
of the honored President Of Washington College
and several of its Professors The situation of the
school is healthful and pleasant, about nine miles
from Lexington; and the community one of the
most moral and religious in the country. 1t is
earnestly hoped that for the sake of Others as well
as themselves, the community will take such mea.
sures as will make the school permanent, and en-.
large it so that many others may enjoy its advan-
tages. j. B. r.

sed in this community, for offciated in organis-
ing one of thirteen members few weeks ago,
which is called by the name of Hopewell Other
Presbyterians live in this region, but were not
present at the organisation. Now, should the mis-.
sion be located at Campinas, the brethren compos-
ing it, in connection with those already here, might
organise a Presbytery and receive this church I'M
der its care. and thus have at once nucleus
around which to operate Campinas, too, is not
only an important town nOU; but it is more so pros
pectively, as it will soon be the terminus of rail-
way from Santos. "
Mr.. Baird gives several reasons why he does not
regret his removal to that country. Because
living is much cheaper than in the United States;
the climate is SO delightful, Just such climate as
| desire-the heat is never oppressive the cold
never sufficient to kill vegetation Hence, we are
not required to labor one-haIf the year to lay up
for the severity of the other and stock live mainly
by grazing Again. the soil here is very rich; so
much so, there is no need of manuring the ground,
for it produces we'll enough without this trouble.
This, together with the fact that the rainy sea
son," as it is called. comes at the time the crop
most needs it, enables me to make more and
with less labor than | did in the States can
make more here by farming with the hoe alone than
| did in the States with the hoe and plough to-
gether Again, our stock, and whatever we may
raise, are not disturbed here by the thief
I'VE also have liberal Government, with
wholesome laws and we are not oppressed with
taxation. Indeed, we only pay taxes when We
purchase land or negroes, and then we give six per
cent. on the price we pay for the property; but
there the matter ends until we make another pur-
chase. True, the established religion is Roman
Catholic; but so far from regretting on that ac-
count that l am here, rejoice that l am so stu
ated that | NAV have an opportunity to do some
thing, either directly or indirectly that will bring
about different state of things ultimately, and

Executive Committee of Education

To the Chaamen Of the Educational Commit
tees of the ReSbyteries:
At the regular meeting Of this Committee, held
on the 18th day of June, the following resolutions
we're adopted, and ordered to be published for
your information and guidance.
"ResOlred, That it be adopted as standing
rule of this Committee that appropriations for can
didates shall be made only prospectively, and that
the Committee will hereafter, in mo case, under
take to pay debts contracted by candidates or Pres
byteries.
Resolced, That, in accordance with the above
rule, the Educational Committees of the respec-
tive Presbyteries be earnestly requested to make
out and forward to this Committee yedrtg In adj
vance, full estimate for the amount OF aid need
ed by the respective candidates, for the ensuing
collegiate year, at as early day as possible; and
that, whenever new candidates are recommended
for aid during term time, the Educational Com,
mittees be requested to make their estimates from
the time the recommendation is forwarded until
the end of the then existing collegiate year
In publishing the above resolutions, it is proper
to state that our chief embarrassment in conducting
the finances of this Committee, has arisen from
the fact that several of the Presbyterial Commit
tees never ask from this Committee any appropri-
atoms according to the order Of the General As
sembly, but have considered themselves authorized
to draw on our treasury for money to pay their
bills, from time to time, as they happen to need

What the Children Can Do.

Some time since, when collection was to be
taken up in Sabbath School for Foreign Missions,
it was proposed that each child who gave should
enclose his money in slip of paper, telling in
what manner it had been earned; and having
been very much interested in reading these lit
tie scrolls ourselves, we thought that it would
be as pleasant to others to see some of the many
ways in which the little folks can make few
pennies for themselves, so as to have some
thing to give to missions without calling upon
their parents when the collection is taken up
And there may be children who are waiting until
they get larger before they make any efforts Of the
kind, who we hope, will read the following and
learn to do likewise:
On one of these papers we find, "Ten cents for
reading to mother" on another, | earned this
money by whitewashing our spring house; on a
third "Ten cents for making bread and keeping
house," on fourth, Il earned this by taking
care of sister Maud" on fifth, 4" For keeping
