ing fostered by winter study and peren-
NAL intelligence and thoughtfulnes8.
And what is true of farm owners is
equally true of farm workers. There is
no way in which young farm hands can
employ their spare time so prohtably as
in studying to become intelligent farmers.
And the best work that can be done for
the young people Of our rural districts
lies, it seems to us, in the direction of en-
couraging among them, especially in win
ter, studies calculated to make their sum-
mer work more intelligent and more prof.
table to themselves and to the community
as a whole.

Winter Work on the Farm.

In reply to country clergyman, who
inquiries what kind of remunerative work
farmers could undertake in winter to
help along, and keep the boys from
idhng at the store or saloons, the Scien-
tifc american sensibly advises that in
stead of looking about for new occupa-
tons, they should give more time and
thought to the Improvement of their
farms. 1t says:
Even among the more intelligent farm
ers there is a serious lack of knowledge as
to the capabilities of the soil under cult
walton, as to the crops that can be made
most profitable, and the best means Of
producing such crops, not to speak of the
preservation of the fertility of the soil; of
the means of preventing the ravages of
insect pests; of methods of supplementing
garden and field crops by the rearing Of
fine grades of fowls, sheep, and other live
stock; Of augmenting the bulk and va
riety of the food supply by restocking
useless ponds and streams with fish, and
so on.
No doubt it would be an immediate
benefit to many poor farmer to be told
how by indoor industry in rough weather
he could add hundred dollars to his in
come. Certainly that would be better
than to spend the time in idle gossip at
the crossroads store. But the chances
are ten to one against the farmer who
could so waste his time having farm so
well kept that the same labor would not
be worth twice as much if it were applied
directly to the clearing up of neglected
corners, to repairing fences, out-buildings,
tools, and machinery, to say nothingof eff
forts to gain higher knowledge Of the
science Of farming, to improve the condi-
ton of the farm, and increase its produc-
tive capacity.
1t is safe to say there is not farm in
the country the value of which, could not
be advanced-perhaps doubled or trebled
by few years of Intelligent effort 1t
is certain that not one farm in thousand
is in so perfect state of cultivation, OF
its capacity so widely developed, that its
products might not be greatly increased
in single year by cuItiyating in the best
way the crops best suited to it and the
nearest market, avoiding products fol
which it Is ilI-adapted or which can be
more cheaply raised elsewhere. Accord
ingly it may be fairly questioned whether
the experimenting Of poor farming with
some sort of manual labor not related to
farm work would not be less profitable
than to encourage poor farmers to become
intelligent and wisely economical farmers
Trying to compete with skilled labor and
machinery by hand work cannot be other
than discouraging, even to save otherwise
idle time; to do it when the time can be
put to better use, more especially when
the main business of life demands all Of
ones time and thought, is certainly not
the height Of wisdom. Shiftless farming
even when allied to winter thrift, can
never accomplish as much as skilful farm
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1879-09-17

of testimonies in support of the former
practice, it is not little surprising that
as a system or method of farm operations
| it has made very slow progress, even
among the best farmers, during the past
sixty years Such is the strength of our
adherence to tradition. For why farmers
seed in spring, the most unfavorable pc
Rod of the year for performing the ope-
ration, rather than in the fall, we do not
know, excepting that their fathers did so
and that 1t saves a little time.
Almost every farmer will admit that it
is injurious to both crops to sow grain
and grass seed together, yet somehow they
keep on doing just that very thing. In
some points it is question as to the
character of the season, for there are years
when spring seeding of meadows is more
successful than autumn seeding; but,
speaking on general terms, the arguments
are in favor of the last-named While it
may occur that the grain crop will some
times shade the ground, to the advantage
of the catch of grass, it is more fire.
quently the case that the growth chokes
the grass smothering it in its early stages,
while the cutting Of the grain leaves it so
much exposed to the heat and drought of
midsummer as to not unfrequently scorch
it to such degree that it is long time
in recovering from it. Grass-roots that
have been shaded by rank growth of
grain, if suddenly exposed to the scorch-
ing sun of August, are liable to have a
very poor preparation for winter More
over, the troublesome weeds of late sum-
mer land they are far more annoying
than the weeds of spring., which appear
in spring-seeded fields where a poor
catch of grass has been obtained, is
one of the greatest drawbacks to spring
seeding, as nothing so much contributes
to foul fields as this very practice of SOW
ing grass seed in spring. Weeds are sure
to come in where the ground is not fully
occupied with useful plants, and this is
especially the case where grass seed has
failed to catch.
Hundreds of the best farmers have re-
peatedly given their testimony to the adj
vantages of seeding grass lands any time
between the Goth of August and the Goth
of September. This is done on inverted
meadow, with the application of light
dressing of phosphate or some special fer
tiizer or domestic manure. With favora-
bic weather, grass seed sown at any time
within the period named is sure of a good
catch. The cool weather promotes growth
and it gets a permanent hold before the
ground freezes in the fall. In fact, it is
believed that, generally, autumn-seeded
fields will be in better condition to
withstand the winter than will those
seeded in the spring.

One. of the Presbyteries is in India,
composed of the missionaries in the field
there. One of the congregations is in
Nassau, Bahama Islands. 1t will be seen
that the ministers number seventy-six
more than the congregations. These are
made up of eighteen missionaries outside
of the country itself, professors, chaplains,
home missionaries, retired ministers, etc.
Turning to finance, we follow in the
main the report on statistics as presented
to the General Assembly The stipends
paid as given above are in the aggregate
very little more than half the income of
the ministers. The stipends average over
1880 and each minister receives almost
an equal sum from the Sustentation and
Communication Funds combined, hence the
average income is over 5000 Eleven
years ago the average income was no more
than $685.. The report says that if the
increase continues to go on at the same
rate the income of ministers will double
itself in twenty-five years. Considering
the depression of the times the givings of
the people have been sustained ii won
derful way Some of the funds have suf-
,fered somewhat, but not more than might
be expected The Sustentation Fund has
fallen behind somewhat, but the dividend
of some years past has been paid 1t
promises well that one-ffth of the whole
sum given to missions came from the Sab
bath Schools.
The Assembly is not representative
In all other cases where the Supreme
Court of Presbyterian Church is called
an Assembly, so far as we know with the
exception of that of Victoria, Australia, it
is representative. A Church Court with
possible membership of 1000 is an
anomaly that cannot long be continued.
At the last meeting there were over 800
present. Of course there would not have
been so many but for the feeling with re-
gard to hymns and organs. In looking
over the roll of those present any one &C
quainted with the past can see represen-
tative elders from country congregations
that never thought of sending an. elder
before. In the eyes of multitudes in the
rural districts the proposal to sing hymns
in public worship or to allow an organ to
be used was the entrance of the thin end
of the wedge, and must be resisted at all
hazards. 1t was nothing less than way
ing the red rag of popery in the faces Of
the people and it was not to be borne
Hence a motion, which was no more than
really notice of motion, with regard to
hymns would not be allowed to lie on the
table for year. 1t is significant, how
ever, that a majority of ministers voted
for liberty in the organ question. Thrust
now be evident to any one gifted with a
measure of foresight, that it is question
of time, that the wave whether for good
or for evil, will not be kept back much
longer.
Altogether the state of things as seen
in the minutes and statistics is very en-
couraging.-C Canada PRESBYTERIAN.
