Possessi0n OF their Church Pro-
perty.
The following particulars from a
correspondent, concerning the recent
church suit in Greeneville, will prove
interesting:
The Methodist Church in Greene
vile, worth about "a, 900, YVES sold for
debt in 1867 Most of the debt was
paid off within two years from dag of
ale The purchaser. member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
extended the right of redemption, and
received two payments after the two
years from sale had expired, receiving
the last payment in March, 1860.
About $50 remained unpaid. In 1866,
the purchaser having left the Southern
and joined the Northern Church, took
a sllerif's deed for the property on the
same day, for the remainder of his
debt, with interest, amounting to about
| $lO9, decided it to the trustees for the
| Northern Church, some Of these trustees
being a part of the board of trustees
that held the property for the South
ern Church. All the trustees of the
Southern Church have gone to the
Northern Church but two, one of
whom, being minister, was bruttaIly
whipped just after the war, during the
reign of terror in Green county. In
November, 1871, suit was instituted ny
the Southern Church, praying the
Chancellor to permit them to pay one
hundred and eight dolla.s, and to re-
store to them their property. The
case was tried before Chancellor Smith
last week, the trial occupying two
days. Judge r. M. Barton and =. G.
Reeves represented the oomplainants,
and r. NJ. Mckee and II. II: Ingersoll
appeared for the respondents. The
fight on both sides was very determin-
ed. On Saturday morning the ea<e
was decided in favor of the complain
ants. the Chancellor restoring to them
their property, with rents from date OF
fling their bill. The respondents
prayed an appeal to the Supreme
Court.

Country Gentleman
avery often in the spring | have noticed
that the peas, beans, ETC., for sale in the
stores for seed, were worm-eaten. In
many cases the seeds were SO eaten as to
be useless for seed. The worm, and even
the egg, may be easily destroyed by the
bisulphid Of carbon, colorless volatile
liquid, having an odor like that
of rotten eggs. If the barrel con-
tanning the seed is not quite full, moisten
q piece of cloth with the liquid, lay it on
the seeds and cover the barrel with an old
horse-blanket. The vapor of the bisulphid
will sink down among the seeds and de-
stroy all animal life The seeds themselves
will not be injured. Two or three ounces
will be enough for half dozen barrels.
This liquid is used in Europe to destroy
the wevil in wheat. have not seen the
above mentioned in any agricultural paper,

AN OLD FRAUD.--I notice that CALI
fornia farmers are somewhat excited with
reference to Egyptian corn" the seed of
which came out of the garments OF q
mummy. 1t is said to yield seventy BUSH
els to the acre, and that two crops can be
grown in year. 1t resembles broom corn,
and it is planted and worked like it, and
when grown it is much like Indian corn.
It is proposed that it take the place of
barley. will state that this corn was
tried at the East several years ago, the
seed having been sent out by the patent
Office, and that it was found not worth
more than ten cents bushel. 1t is, in
fact an old fraud Finally, always be sus.
picious Of any product that produces two
crops year, and of country where
they can be grown.-An Ohio Pioneer.

FRUITS WITH HARDY BLOSSOMS
j. Wri9ht in the Journal of Horticulture,
takes the ground that the blossoms of some
varieties Of fruits are better able to resist
cold than Others He says:
''As far as l remember, whenever we
came to Beurre d'Amanlis pear. it was
loaded with fruit; so also was the early
Ctron DIES Carmes. Louise Bonnie de
Jersey was another which escaped fairly,
as it frequently does. Bergamotte Esparen,
is a valuable late pear, and reliable from is
hardy blossom. How seldom is the old
moor-fowl's egg made barren y frost. A
pear seldom seen, yet useful in autumn
the green pear Of Fairs, un-
der my care, unfailing as q cropper, frost
or no frost. By its side Marie Louise is
ruined four years out Of five. In the same
garden, Autumn Beurre and Hacon's Iu-
comparable are commonly made barren by
spring frosts; so also is Beurre d. Aremburg,
a pear, however, Of no great value. My
faculties Of comparison are limited, but l
am satisfied by what have seen, that there
is much valuable information on this point
stored up somewhere. ssi
In the garden above referred to the APP
Piles which were conspicuous as having es-
capped the frost were Beauty of Kent, DOM

Care Of Dairy stock I'm winter.

The preston in the wintering of any
stock is, not that which costs the least
money, but that which pays the best in the
end. The production of milk and the
yearly birth of calf are such great drains
upon the vital energies that the COW, and
especially the young one not yet matured,
requires full share Of the most nutri-
tious food to keep the system in perfect
condition. She requires not only good
food, but absolutely good shelter and per-
feet quiet. If this all be carefully attended
to, we should hear but little of vicious ami
mails and unproductiveness of dairy stock.
One Of the first requisites for properly
wintering cows is an abundance of the best
quality of early-cut and well-cured hay.
If this be not obtanable, more grain must
be taken in the succeeding season in this
respect for however chep grain may be,
unless supplemented with good, bright hay
or corn fodder, the best results cannot be
reached. Indeed it IS too often the case
that the damaged hay is placed in the NOW
or stack with the better quality Of hay.
This is not only Injuries the latter, but the
former gains nothing by its being so placed
and the cow which should have the best
are obliged to fare with other cattle of less
value.
The cows should be placed under shelter
during all cool nights in the fall, and in
the winter should be constantly stabbed ex-
cept when taking the necessary exercise.
Feed literally and uniformly in the fall and
early winter and the stock will not have to
be crowded in the spring to bring them to
the proper condition. Keep the cows in
good flesh not really fat, but in such con-
dition as is called fat by ordinary judges,
and they will amply repay the feed in the
following season.
