The great Conference OF the Eyai

,lfields OF usefulness, and the most II
markable religions Convention that til
world ever saw is now part Of the HIS

IS to interpret or assert doglnssti,
opinion; that it was a representativ.
body Of those men who hold to certain
fundamental doctrines Of Evangelical
Christianity, distinguished from Ro
lmanism on the one hand, and Ration
alisin on tie other. tt was the avoWesl
exposition Of that system Of religious
faith which recognizes the Trinity in
Unity Of God, and the Atonement by
Christ as the only ground of salvation.
Ii excluded none who did not by their
own choice exclude themselves.
Such men assembled from the four
quarters Of the globe and the islands
OF the sea. As yet we are unable to
say how many were in attendance.
The many who arrived in the midst of
the sessions and too late. to be regu-
lally recognized and enrolled, swelled
thenumbers beyond our present ability
to state. More than a thousand per
sons were ON the ground to participate
as members of the Conference.
Among the members from abroad
and from our own country, were men
of the highest standing in the Church
for their learning, talents and worth;
men who Illustrate Christianity by
their lives, and give dignity and value
to any assembly In which they sit.
Compared with the Councils of the
Church in former ages, and with pre-
vious Conferences Of the Evangelical
Alliance, this Conference III New York
towers above them all in It's vast pro-
portions, as it does in the variety. |

by Scripture and reason, and SO com

These truths have already gone forth

LATE CHICKENS THE BEST Lay
correspondent OF the Coum-
try Gentleman writes: {. fter repeat
ed experiments during the past twen-
ty-five years in Matching chickens, ]
am fully convinced that fowls Matched
in the month of July make far better
layers than those born at amy other
season of the year. Early hatched
chickens commence laying early LII
September, and continue until cold
january weather, when they discon-
tinue until spring. On the other hand,
when Matched in July or August, they
begin laying in February and continue
till October. / find July chickens will
average so to IS more eggs than those
hatched in March. Ny method, there
fore. is to hatch 100 chickens in Aug
ust for my own use. AS soon as the
cocks can be selected from the pullets,
they are converted into pot-pie, giving
the pullets all the room. The pullets
are then well fed, and are soon large
enough to take care of themselves.
4 The light Brahmas have always
been my most profitable and favorite
fowl; but with great reluctance am
obliged, after three years trial, to
place the Partridge Cochins at the
head Of the list. As layers they excel
any Asiatic breed | have ever known,
are very hardy, mature early, and
short legged, heavy breasted, yellow
fleshed fowls. My pullets hatched last
August are laying now. as they have
since February. They are superior
sitters and most careful mothers. l
am also breeding the White Cochlns
for the first time this season, and thus
far / am very highly pleased with
them.D
TO KEEP ONIONS best way
of keeping onions for family use is the
old fashioned way of stringing them.
Gather them without breaking OFT the
tops. Take up three or four and
string through the tops, and tie a
strong string around them to secure
them firmly. Add more onions, and
tie till you hayea string foot OF more
in length. Hang them in q dry place
and they will keep good any length @
time.
