have top-dressed portions of fields for
wheat more or less for the past fifteen
years. In every instance it has more
than doubled my crops of. wheat and the
grass following. The most cheering
feature to me is that since l commenced
to top dress my soil has constantly in
creased in productiveness, until the yield
of corn has doubled without any other
fertilizer whatever, simply by turning
over sod which had been top dressed
one or more years previous, and this up
on fields where l formerly spread heavy
coat of manure and plowed under as
soon as possible, to prevent evaporation.
The yield was $50 bushels of ears to the
acre last season, and bids fair to be more
this; and Iexpect it will increase until can
report 100 bushels of shelled corn to the
acre, and how much more / dare not

son and condemn it. That is not fair
test. 1t may require years to fairly test it.

The people of the quaint old fishing
town of New Bedford, Mass, begin to
smell of sperm oil again. Fifty whalers
have sailed from that port this season, and
those that come home laden with oil and
whalebone are Immediately refitted for
sea, The average catch this season has
been 1850 barrels of oil to each vessel.
Practically, New Bedford is the only
whaling port In the United States, al
though San Francisco makes some pre-
tensions in the business. Twenty years
ago New Bedford was the richest city OF
its size in the country, and all on account
of oil. The catch of Oil this year has been
nearly 200, 900 barrels.-Pittsbmgh Com

worth more than circus to see Sancho-
under such circumstances. A dissatisfied,
protesting howl and bark is given, and he
then tugs at his mistress dress, pushes
her away from her husband, and crowds
himself between them. There is huge
old dog, belonging to neighbOr, which
occasionally trots over and pays visit to
Sancho's master, receiving kind treatment
and petting. Being of double sancho's

had written on a blackboard some figures
to show that the end Of the world, OF

year, spoke about the fulillment of the
prophecy in the twelfth chapter of
Daniel He illustrated his intCTPTeta-

enccs. lie next told that the prophe-
cies forctold the end ,335 years from a
given time, that i, from thc time when
the daily sacrifices shall be taken away,
and the abominatiou that maketh desc
late be set up." This abOminatiOn, he
said, was the church Of Rome, and ITS ,ej-
ting up occurred in 81, when the en-
per0r .Tustinian placed IL on the pinnacle
of IFS mower. and in order to do 50 over
threw the Goths. Then followed the
neriod of 800 years spoken OF IN the

when the allied powers oi Europe, 10
