SCHOOL AND CHURCH,

Harvard College is 2i2 years old,
and has had twenty-five Presidents.
Bishop Bowman, in the course of his
episcopal duties, has dedicated 1000
churches.
California will shortly have school
apportionment of 1926, 296. The num-
Der of children entitled to the benefit of
this sum is 215,978.
The Cornell University people are
calling on President White, Minister to
Berlin, to return or resign his position
as President of the institution, hoping
he will return. Affairs at the universe
ty are said to be badly managed.
The famous old Christ's hospital, or
Blue Coat school of London, is to be re-
moved to suitable site in the country,
where buildings will be provided for
1000 boys as boarders. Accommoda-
tions will also be provided for 400 girls
in an upper and lower school.
The American Bible College for
young ladies, Binghamton, N. Y, has
come into the possession of the famous
translation of the Bible, by Mrs. Julia
Smith Parker of Glastonbury, Conn.
She wrote it over five times at the age
of eighty-twice from the Hebrew,
twice from the Greek and once from
the Latin vulgates.
The Treasurer of the Wesleyan
Methodist Thanksgiving Fund, which it
was intended at first to make 81, 225,-
600, reported at the Conference that
promises had been received to the
amount of $1,445, 900, and 1910, 900 had
been paid in. The committee has de-
termined to increase the fund to 81 ,575,-
900. 1t is to be applied to various
benevolent, educational and missionary
enterprises in the church.
The Baptist General Association, of
Texas, represents one hundred and
forty-one churches and over twenty
associations. 1t supplied twenty mis-
slonary stations last year, and organized
twelve new churches and thirtv-four
Sunday schools. The Methodists at
Ennis lent the association their church
to meet in, and the association in turn
raised money to have the church put in
order after it adjourned.
An earnest and final attempt is now
made by the Bishops of the Methodist
Episcopal Church to save the Metropol-
itan Church in Washington from being
lost to the denomination. The build
ing is a large and snowy one, erected
at "a cost of S225,000, in the hope that
the Methodists of the United States who
visited Washington would see the i'm
portance of paying for it. There is no
great amount of wealth among the resi-
dent members, yet they have con-
tributed literally. The present trouble
is the pressing need of about $4,000 to
pay a bonded debt of $4,000 and
floating one of $4,000. The Bishops
haye issuedp circular, in which they
call upon the whole Methodist Episco-
pal Church to take collections on or be-
fore the second Sunday in October, and
to send in the cash with all possible
speed.

Disposing Of Grain Stubble.

In many portions of the West the
practice OF burning stubble before the
land is feplowed or mown is general.
In other places it is customary to pillow
it under If the land is to be again sown
with grain, and to allow it to remain as
protection to the young clover and
grass If crop of hay is to be cut the
following year. Farmers who plow un-
der stubble do it with the understanding
that they are restoring to the soil con-
siderable amount of fertilizing material
that is lost if the stubble is burned. In
point OF fact the stubble of grain con-
tains very little material aside from
potash that is beneficial to prairie soils.
The potash is restored whether the stub
BILE is burned or covered. The remain
der OF the straw is chiefly carbon, with
which the soil is bountifully supplied.
Stubble interferes with the action of
the plow, and when turned under seems
to render the soil too loose for q good
seed bed. s5asss&
Hard clay soils are benefited me-
chemically by turning under stubble.
and they are improved to some extent
chemically, as such soils are generally
deficient in carbon. By burning stub-
bic many seeds and insects are de-
stroyed and the potash it contains is
rendered Immediately available for the
growth of plants. There is some dan
ger in burning stubble fields, but If a
favorable time is chosen the degree Of
danger is very slight. Grain stubble is
OF some benefit in protecting your grass
and clover during the winter. It as
sists in holding the snow and in break
ing the force of the wind. If suffered
to remain standing, however, it win in
terfere with the action Of the moving
machine and rake when the hay is be.
ing harvested the coming season. Few
things take the edge from q scythe or
cutting blade quicker than grain stub

a MISJUDGED FRIEND.
The gardener shut the garden gate,

The gardener shut the garden gate,
And went to weed the onion-bed;
But what is this?" surprised, he said.
Some broken bricks, some stones and sticks,
And underneath them, crushed and dead,
A large brown toad! James, Martin, Fredr'
And sternly asked, What cruel play
Is this you've been about to-day?"
IT'S very hard we should be blamed,
I'm sure!' poor little James exclaimed:
1--WE only killed the toad because
An ugly-looking thing he was
So very ugly, that we knew
Hesurely would some mischief do.
He had great warts upon his back,
And curious blotches, greenish black,
And how he sprawled his legs" cried Fred.
His mouth" said Martin, twas so wide,
It reached far round on either side;
And queer winks with his eyes he'd give:
We did not dare to let him live.
We had to kill that toad because
An ugly-lOOking thing he was"
The gardener gravely shook his head:
" 1t was heartless act" he said;
g And, more than that, you may depend
Upon my word, you've killed friend;
For often, at my work, I've found
This same toad near me, hopping round,
And, watching him, I've learned that he
My constant helper used to be-
A second gardener, with no pay,
Who still was busy every day.
+" He killed the young potato-bugs,
The caterpillars and the slugS,
The beetles striped with yellow lines,
That spoil the tender melon-vines,
And looked round with his blinking eyes
For cabbage-worms and turnip-fies,
Low-hying moths with downy wings,
And Shiny snails in shady hooks.
1t was the cruellest of things
To kill poor Hop Toad for his looks.
And If, when you shall older grow,
You strangers judge by outward show,
You'll be as foolish as unjust:
In worthless men you'll put your trust,
And often sorrow, in the end,
For having wronged some honest friend"
Marian Douglas, in Nursery.

The London Daily Neps, in a de-
scription of the Czarowitch. the fastest
mall-steamer on the Caspian Sea, says
that its boilers are heated by petroleum
refuse instead of coal-a system which
effects an enormous saving of expense
and labor. the heating apparatus being
as thoroughly under control as a gas
jet, and requiring but one man to
manipulate it. 1t is proposed to apply
the same system of heating to locomo-
tives.

Our Forest Wealth.

The Forestry department at the pres
cnt census will be the first approach at
an attempt to obtain definite knowledge
Of the vast forest wealth of the United
States, and the results, besides being of
interest to natural scientists throughout
the world will have great economic val
Ne. The matter is in charge of Mr.
Charles S. Sargent, the Professor of
ArbOTlculture at Harvard University
and the Director Of the Arboretum. He
IS enthusiastic in his work and is pros
ocuting it with thoroughness. He has
already made journey of investigation
through the extensive forests of the
Southern States and this week he starts
on long tour through the remote West,
20 be gone until October. In company
with several botanists. Professor Sar-
gent viii first visit Kansas to make a
study of the tree distribution along the
eastern margin Of the great plain re-
giOn. Thence he goes through COlOra-
DO and perhaps New Mexico, also to
look at the heavy timber growing in the
Rocky Mountain canyons. He will then
cross the Continent by rail and 90 by
seJ along the coast to Victoria Then.
passing through Puget Sound to PORT
land in Oregon, he will journey south
with his party along the eastward slope
Of the Cascade Range to Rosebury,
Douglas County, which will be their
Headquarters for some time, enabling
chem to institute a careful examination
into the forests of that region, their
character being at present but little
known. At the end of their stay here
they viii 90 southwark to the Mount
Shasta region in Northern California
and afterward. probably, visit the great
Forest, at the head of Kern
River, in the Southern Sierra Nevada.
Afr. Robert Douglas, the practical tree
grower of Waukegan, Ill, will accom-
pany Professor Sargent in Kansas and
and from Salt Lake westward.

Sweating Wheat.

The following is from the St. Paul
Press and may be good theory:
I'VE notice by our exchanges that
many of the farmers about the State
are again threshing from the shock and
hauling their grain direct to market.
Ordinarily, this plan has some advan-
bages to recommend it, but this year,
when the wheat has been bleached out
oy hot suns and repeated rains. it is not
advisable. 1t should by all means 90
into the stack and undergo the sweat
before being threshed and sold. This
IN most cases raises the grade and saves
the owner from five to ten cents on the
bUshel.
The sweating process is one not
generally understood. Taking either
wheat or oats, or even hay, and stack
ing or moving them in short time,
they will be found to be undergoing
what is commonly known as the
sweat. On opening the stack the
straw will be found damp as well as the
grain, accompanied by considerable
heat. which lasts for number of days.
At such times it is difficult to separate
lhe berry from the head, and it is sell
dom threshed by any good farmer till
this period is past.
The result of this sweat is, that the
dead color Of the berry is restored,
while the kernel itself is filed out and
is considerably plumper than when it
went into the stack or NOW. But this
Is not all. During this period there
mas been a constant absorption by the
berry of the nutritive elements in the
stalk, rendered active by fermentation,
and this develops and ripens the ker-
mel Some question whether there is
any more gluten added, but it is our
opinion that there is, and that it is
richer in albuminoids, and will make,
consequently, a higher quality of -four
than if not stacked at all But the
suggestion we desired to urge was that
stacking would brighten the grain
which is this year mostly of dead
color, and add a few dollars to the
revenue of the farm, which all will
frankly acknowledge is always small
enough"

A Dangerous Disease.

Speaking Ofamateur nigger minstrel
shows" Peck's Sun says: "That is one
of the periods in boys life that he is
obliged to pass through and no amount
of vaccination can prevent it. Some
have it lighter than others and only
give a show in the barn, consisting of
performances on the trapeze and charg-
ing an admission of three pins or piece
of old iron. The malay sets in soon
after the boy has given up his consuming
ambition to become a stage driver, and
just before he begins to pOultice his up
per lip with fertilizers. During the
period of negro-minstrelsy boys require
great care, as it is really the turning
point in their lives, and parents must
exercise caution. If a boy can be safely
guided through a siege of negro-min-
strelsy and brought out of it all right he
will grow up to be a useful citizen and
there will be hOnOrs in store for him.
But if it strikes in and gets in the sys-
TEN so that it affects the brain the prob
ability is he will never know anything,
and the next heard of him he will be
,raveling with circus, peddling jew
elry or selling scissOrs-sharpeners or
medicine on the street corners, by the
flare of torch or getting up mining
company out West. How many fami-
lies, who had built the fondest hopes,
have been bereaved of some noble boy
just as he was budding into glorious
manhood"
