LEcTuRE.-A select and atten-
tive audience listened last even
ing to Mr.. Utter's lecture upon
spiritualism. Whether spiritu-
alism is to be considered as a
science, a religion or a humbug
depends upon definitions and up
on the truth or falsity of the al
legged facts concerning commun-
ications. Until he has more ev-
dence the question must remain
an open one and meanwhile it
was best to love God and be
honest and deal justly with our
fellows. At the lecture this
evening the subject is infdelity.
Good singing is expected.

FALL PLow1EG.-A correspondent

follows: "By experience and obscrva-
ton l am satisfied that all soils ought

green sward, for several reasons. 49,
l. The sod roots during the winter,
and thus supplies the soil with nutri-
mont re"dy prepared for the young
crop.
2. The Jumps become puIverizcd
sooner, permitting. the land to be
stocked down in better shape.
3. A team can work much easier in
the fall, and the farmer is less hur-
rod. The action for longer timc is
also beneficial" ~,.
A correspondent Of an exchange,
discussing tho same topic, says: IT
have tr'' fall plowing on light and
heavy soil. On light soils, which
never produce cakes and clods, ii
does well. On heavy soil IL is COM
monty detrimental. followed by q
dry winter, it sometimes succeeds;
but commonly 1t produces q hard
cIoddy soil, which is long in becoming
mellow. l have known this hardness
20 last full year afterward. Evon
when tho land was thoroughly and
evenly drained, this unfavorablo rc-
suit followed. 1t is therefore neccs~
sary to use caution in blowing heavy
or adhesive cIayed land in autumn,
and as general rulo it should be
avoided" '-~ ..a'
