Co.Operatixe arminu.

The bishop OF Manchester lately made
speech at the cooperative congress
IN England, recommending co operative
farming. He gave an account of a CO.
operative farm near Assingten, which he
visited in 1867, after it had been in opera.
ton for thirty-seven years. 1t was
started by John Gurdon, the squire of
the village, in 1880. He rented to fifteen
men sixty acres at SO an acre per annum,
and lent them $4,000 for tools, stock, ma
nuxe, etc. In 1867 they had long pre-.
eicusly paid the loan; had increased
%heir shareholders from fifteen to twenty,
ana the amount of hired land from sixty
TO one hundred and thirty acres, for
which they paid $1,000 year. The
Farm was managed by committee of
feur, chosen by ballot, a portion going
out every year. The bishop found the
land in admirable order, and the animals
and poultry in excellent condition. In
1854 Mr.. Gurdon, finding the experiment
very successful, started thirty chosen
men on second cooperative farm, each
contributing $l7 so. He also loaned
them $4,000. They began with seventy
acres, but by 1867 were hiring PIP av
rent of $1,625 year, and had $4,000
worth of stock, besides having paid of
the $4,000 loan aud supported their fami-
lies. The bishop thought that class of
cooperative agriculturists would be
most important and staple element in the
commonwealth, and the earl Of Ripon,
i'm subsequent speech, said that he had
also visited the farms and fully agreed
with him.

A Simple Poultry. House.

II is only sixteen feet square, ten feet
posts, ridge of roof seven feet higher
than the plates; and then Slated ven-
tilator of three feet still higher ON the
ridge; windows with Venetian bIindes
inside of the house for more air when
wanted. 1t is match boarded up and
down, with single roof. On the
south eide are two windows, each four
by sight feet, thus making eight feet
square of glass. The windows come
down to within eighteen inches of the
ground. They are covered inside with
cparse wire netting to prevent the fowls
flying against the glass and breaking it.
Outside are two doors of same size as
the windows. One door and window
shoves in the right. the other to the left.
Thus, when it is cold weather, the doors
are showed open by day and the windows
closed, which, letting in the sun all day,
makes the house quite warm, and pro-
NOTES laying on the part OF the hens; if
moderately warm, both windows and
doors are kept open all day. The doors
are closed and locked at night to keep
out thieves.
A moderately sized yard is on the
south side, with q tight board fence,
seven feet high all round. This let's In
the sun, but keep off the wind, thus
makinS an admirable shelter In the
winter. A door opens from this yard On
to grass field, where the poultry is
permitted to wander at will in pleasant
weather. A door, three feet by seven,
is on the east side for the entry of per.
sons. The only Distinguishing merit OF
this poultry. house is that the roof is 50
high, with an ample ventilator ON the
top, that it keeps the air pure within
even when stocked with fifty hens. All
animals want plenty Of pure fresh air.
and if. besides this, you give them
proper food, drink and exercise, Won will

A Word by the Way.

Several years since two merchants had
taken their seats in the morning train
for q certain city. They were neighbors,
dwelling in a contiguos suburb, and
doing business in large and populous
town. Although their residences were
near together, and they saw each other
daily, they were not intimate. They had
few sympathies in common. One had
been tor many years a professed disciple
of Christ, loving Gods house, and alive
to all that pertained to the spread of the
gospel. The other was respectable and
successful merchant, absorbed in business,
and to all appearance Indifferent to all
beyond this life. On the morning In
question these two neighbors happenedto
occupy the same seat in the railway car
riage. They soon became earnestly
engaged in conversation ON business, its
prospects, their own plans and successes.
The worldly merchant, the elder of the
two, said they had been very successful
for the year past, and could now say he
had competence. 81 do not care" said
he, ssto be worth any more"

Art and Religion.

Bear us witness, We poets and actors,
ye painters and sculptors, ye singers and
players upon instruments, that your arts
have not saved the most Of you from
becoming petty, selfish men and women.
You are jealous of one another. You
are greedy of praise and of the gold it
brings. You know that there is nothing
in your art that enlarges and liberalizes
you, that restraints you from drunken.
ness and vices that shall not be named,
that gives you sobriety and soIidity of
character, that enlarges your social sym
pathies, that naturally leads you into
organizations for helping others outside
Of your own circle. Bear us witness,
that you are not the men and women
who are relied on for performing the
duties of society. If all were like you
ifAall shirked the duties of social and civil
life like you'll all were as much untitled
by their ideas and their employments as
you are for carrying the great burdens of
society, what do you suppose would be-
come of the country and what would be-
come of the world?
Now, if there is anything in art that
can take the place Of religion, we should
like to see it. If there is anything in
culture that can take the place of re-
ligion, it has not yet revealed itself.
Culture is centered in self. Self is the
god and self is the model of all culture.
Why should it not ultimate in selfish
ness ? Culture assumes that what is
present in man needs only to be de-
veloped and harmonized to lift charac.
ter to its highest point, and life to its
highest issues. It carries no idea of SELF
surrender, which is the first fact in
practical religion of any valuable sort,
and the first fact in all good develop
ment Greece and Rome had plenty of
culture, and are still our teachers in art,
but the beauty that looked upon them
from every hill and gate and temple
could not save them from their vices.
By and by culture will learn how power
less it is to make man that shall be
worth the making, and what poor in.
struments science and art are for up
roofing the selfishness that rules the
world. It is slowly learning this, and
men who have bowed low to her have
been touched with that divine discon-
tent which nothing but religion can al
lay.-[Dr. J. G. Holland.

Here is another evidence of the
growing dependence of England upon
the agriculture Of this country; anoth-
er evidence of the fact that the agri-
culture Of America is and must be its
paramount interest:
The expectation of horses from this
country to England, for use on street
railways, began two years ago, and al
ready over 5000 of the Canadian and
Morgan breeds have been shipped
from this port and from Quebec. The
English cart horse is too heavy and
slow for tramway service, and as Eng
lish breeders have given their atten-
tion almost exclusively to cart horses,
and blOOded saddle and coach horses,
they could furnish no animals suitable
for the new want. The supply Of
light built and enduring horses had
been drawn chiefly from Ireland, but
this source is almost exhausted. The
American horses were at first used
only OH street railways, but they are
now becoming favorites for family
use. The Anglo complica-
tions have largely increased the de-
mand this year, and it is expected
that the expectation will amount to
many thousands more than ever be.
