MIR. Hcpworth's New Church.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
AS an ardent admirer of Mr.. Hepworth and OF his
preaching beg leave to ask you for the OF your
columns TO say few words in reference to the
location Of the new Church OF the Disciples. When
he left the Church OF the Messiah and preached his
irst sermon at Steinway Hall, he said that his idea
was TO establish free church. where the poor
might worship beside the rich and which was the
case az the meetings at Steinway Hall, where he
drew crowds Of all classes to hear him. | now
understand that the trustees think Of buying some
lots on the corner Of Forty-hth street and Madison
avenue, on which TO erect the new church. Now,
is tins carrying out his original idea OF building
church for the mass OF the peoplep for 1t looks to
me as though II Is TO be nothing else but fashion
aDe church, OF which we have at the present time
4ulte enough; Tor how many poor people can go to
Forty-iilth street every sunday to church,
Now, think the gentlemen having this matter
IN hand would do wei to think OF this matter and
not go so far away but TO wait little longer and
then secure the lots more central, where the poor
and the rich can worship God together.

of which will state few which give ii, in
my estimation, its greatest superiority over
straw. 1t is much cleaner and more
easily arranged. and, of course, much
cheaper at first cost, making in the end
excellent manure. 1t is peculiarly ben

GRAPE LEAVES FOR YEAST

II inc EDITOR oI the Union and American:
PULASKI, July 20, 1S72.-I noticed few
days since in the House Keepers DepaIt-
ment of the UNION AND AMERICAN a sug-
gestion as TO the substitution of grape leaves
in the making Of yeast. A desire was ex-
pressed for opinions and experiments.
From experiments with the rine l have no
doubt that the leaf can be so used with the
happiest results. A twig of grape vine put
into the most contrary yeast viii infuse vi
tality and start it 'going."
My experience in bread making has been
of a tough sort. / smile now as | see the
poDde. Gus poDes that used to sit in solemn
state on the pantry shelf, defying the COM
bined attacks Of men and mice. One Sat-
urday ali efforts fruitless. 1t was almost
time ito make up the bread" and not q
particle of foam on the surface Of the yeast;
was about giving it up, when old Aunt
Lucy,a "cUlored cook, ;" came in, Ga, CHILD,
dat last good-you git piece of grape vine,
and put it down, straight through the mid
die and it'll beihere in no time" Every
body laughed at the old darkey and her
dupe, for was willing 70 try anything that
would make II Gomez; nevertheless enjoyed
for supper the light delicious rolls-result
of the experiment.
/ do not like Iidicule, and knew would
have been unpitied until should lave
explained The puzzling problem. There
must be a secret, not superslitious, connect
ed with it. for there was the same result at
each successive testimony that must
be taken. The following theOry is the re
suit Of thought upon the subject. If am
wrong, 1 hope our agricultural Editor"
will give us the true explanation:
Familiar science teaches US that it is not
necessary to put yeast IUlo grape juice in
order 10 produce Fermentation, because at
contains a sufficient quantity Of a nitrogeI-
lied substance ike yeast TO bring about this
sta els Self-riStag If II is not necessary
TO put yeast i'll To make juice 10 produce
fermentation, because it contains a similar
substance, then, if the grape juice be intro
duced into other ele1acf.tS, Will ii not pre-
duee exactly the same results That the yeast
would? The dctire principle of The vine
enters largely into The composition of the
leaf IL can be expressed and preserved In
the same manner as hops, an why not an
sWer just as well in the practical processes
Uf bread making?

excitement, . The Peoples" is not forgetful

cordanc with the requirements Of go0d
taste, and graceful acknowledgment OF

MdnaueS suitable for the crop, that will
secure good yield, may be thus stated:
1. 200 lbs guano, bashel plaster, mixed
| with two-horse loads of marsh mud, or
any kindred substance, to be broadcasted
and narrowed in. 2. 500 lbs bone dust, 10
| bushels ashes, l do. each Of plaster and salt,
to be applied and narrowed in. 8. 10two
horse cart loads of woods mould or river
mud mixed with $50 lbs guano and bush
ell plaster, to be plowed in, the land then
to be narrowed; afterwards top-dress with
10 bushels ashes, and harrow and roll. l..
10 loads wood mould, and of stable ma
nur6 or barn yard dung, 5 bushels uDleaeh-
ed ashes; form these into compost, layer and
layer about, after laying about 10 days in
bulk, shovel it over, spread broadcast aud
plOw in, and tOp-dress with bushel of plas-
,er per acre. 5. PloW in 10 two horse cart
loads of woods mould, marsh or river mud, ,
mixed as above with 10 bushels leached
ashes, or bushels unleached, formed into
compost and treated as above. In the
spring tOp-dress each acre treated with the
two last formulas with rs lbs of Nitrate of
Soda.
PREPARATION OF THE GRoUND.-Here
let us say, once for all, that upon the pro-
per preparation of the ground, a large por-.
ton OF the success Of this and almost every
other crop depends-therefoI fore recollect,
that in ploughing for crop Of rye, deep
ploughing and thorough kulyerization will
60 far TO secure remuneraiive crop-afSer
the ground is ploughed, narrowed and rolled,
SOW the seed with care, and then harrow
and cross-harrow it in-foar pecks seed per
acre are generally sown, but it is better to
make the quantity five, or even six picks
TO the acre. When this work is finished,
then run water burrows throughout the
field, SO as to prevent the Judgment Of water,
and afterwards solidity will be given to
them By running the roller across the fur
rows. -r......... --.--e- ---
TINE OF SEEDING.-Some prefer not
seeding before the 10th or 10th September,
whilst others think that to SOW during
August is most advantageous; and if there
are any fears of its getting too rank, sheep
or calves can be turned in on it early in the
spring. This will at the same time remedy
the evil, and give profitable pasture to the
young stock at time when il viii be need
ed. The crop Of rye this season appears to
have turned Out much better than those of
wheat, oats and hay. r- .--a..- r

IA most generally sown with the grain1erop
! 20 the fall, and in the spring clover is also
sown early. Seed-sowers have been intro
| duced for broadcastiDg q ass seed, but 1t
requires very careful hand to do 1t, and
the work must be perfrmed when there is
no wind to interfere with the operation, as
It cannot be- performed evenly when at
tempted in Glowing weather.
If you intend your fields for pasture and
hay for your own purposes, and expect
them to remair in grass for series of
years, they must at their setting have a coed
foundation to work on; therefore give them
as large dressing of manures as you can
well afford. In addition to the organic
manures recommended above for your
timothy meadow, supply the following mix
ture, for each aere-to 10 bushels bone dust,
moistened, add 10 bushels Of ashes, OF
salt, and / Of plaster-thoroughly mix and
leave It In bulk for couple Of weeks,
when it should be shoveled over, the better
to incorporate the several ingredients; APP
ply broadcast and harrow it in, and roll
well. The land thus prepared, SOW the
grass seeds, and it win be found decidedly
has o<,xr, x,a~;ofwy Of anal, as oh
ed to the purpose, viz: II
Sow first BY itself, peck Timothy seed;
then the following additional kinds and
quantities should be mixed with twice their
bulk of ashes and sown together, viz:
bushel Orchard grass seed:
49," Kentucky Blue Grass seed;
Perennial Rye Grass seed;
g tail Meadow Dat Grass seed:
and Q lbs. sweet seated Veffial Grass
seed.
Moisten the Orchard grass seed before mix
ing it with the others, and leave it In bulk
from II to "a hours. The seed to be har-
rowed in with a light one horse seed har-
row; lay off the water burrows, and roll
across them. This may be. considered a
costly operation, and so il is; but it will pay
you the cost each year after the second,
and it must be remembered that it is to be
permanent and, if properly cared tor after
1t ID once firmly set, win last q life time,
furnishing a luxuriant crop Of grass to cut
every year, and pasture for your stock in
two weeks after you have harvested the
hay, until after frost. Every second year,
there should be applied a mixture for each

FARM AND GARDEN.
DESTRUCTTON OF TTMRER.

We have several times, recently, called
attention to the wholesale destruction Of
timoer going on in this country. The fol-
lowing paragraph from an exchange tells
the story as far as the forests of Maine are
concerned; but it is the same everywhere
where the forests are accessible to the axe
and saw-mill:
The Maine lumbermen predict that five
years hence, at the present rate OF destruc-
ton, the forests Of that State will be wholly
cleared Of timber. The lumber crop OF
this year is estimated at 700, 0O0, GOO feet.
OF this amount the Penobscot lumbermen
cut $4,000 600, and the Kennebec men
over lO0,OO0,000. r +sa--.7.. 7s
Mr.. Greeley, in "What l Know About
Farming" says that from half to two-thirds
of every farm under cultivation should be
devoted to growing timber.

SEEMING RYE.

The American Former claims that this
crop pays well, perhaps better than wheat
where It is put in under, favorable eircurn-
stances, in consequence of the high price
always offered for the straw, it being very
desirable for bedding purposes in the horse
stables. The soil, too, which viii answer
for this crop, is of lighter character than
that most suitable for wheat and may be
one in which sand is more prevalent; but to
produce good crop, manure suitable for
the plant must be in, or applied to, the land
tho coil suitable being light; Che potash
and soda therein are most likely to be
washed out, and these are important con-
stituents in rye. We give the following
