HusrSeDos PREsBYrERY met at Newton
Hamilton last week. The church question
as between Lost Creek aud Mifiintown con-
gregations, was presented as follows, as per
report of the proceedings, by the Aitoona
Tribune:
Mr.. Doris, of the committee appointed
to investigate the difficulty existing between
the Lost Greek and Mifiiintown congrega-
tons, made the following report, which was
received and laid before the Presbytery for
its action
WHERTAs, The committee appointed to
meet the churches of Lost Greek and Mif-
iiintown have failed 10 their efforts to bring
about reconciliation between these
churches, it is
Resolved, That the committee be dis
charged that the resolution of Presbytery
prohibiting preaching in the old brick
church OF Miffiintown be rescinded, and
that the proper officers of said church have
authority to engage supplies, as to them
may seem expedient.
The committee appointed by Presbytery
at its last stated meeting to visit Miffiiniown
and Lost Greek churches, with view TO a
settlement of their differences, report that
on the 18th OF May, according to a previous
arrangement With the churches, they met in
MihiintoTn and Lost Creek and after pro-
trscted conference with committees ap-
pointed for the purpose succeeded in bring
ing the representatives Of the two churches
to terms Of agreement. 1t was sscertained
that there is deot against the Miffiintown
church building for repairs, amounting to
$500, held BY z. S. Doty and James North,
and further debt of $500 for expenses of
law suit, which the committee directed to
be divided between the churches 1t was
further intimated to the committee that in
case Of satisfactory settlement, Messrs.
North and Doty had said that the payment
of the debt for repairs would not be de-
msnded, and on this assumption Mr.. Ezra
Parker, in like spirit of liberality agreed
to pay $500 toward the remsining indebted
ness, leaving $500 to be provided for as the
amount to be raised to meet the terms upon
which Lost Greek agreed to transfer all
right and title to the church property in
Miftiintovu. With these verbally under
stood arrangements all parties agreed to the
terms Of settlement.
At subsequent congregational meetings,
held by these churches, the Lost Greek
church ratified the action of the committee.
The MIfflintown congregation rejected the
report, and a committee OF the church took
an appeal to the Supreme Court from the
decision of Judge Junkin, thus opening up
again the controversy, and your committee
is under the painful necessity of reporting
that in their belief there can be no amieable
settlement between these churches.
On motion the consideration of the report
of the committee appointed to investigate
the difficulties existing between the Lost
Greek and Miffiintown congregations was
postponed until the fell meeting of the
Presbytery.

THE following is from the Csceola Re
re,lEe: While the waters were at their high
est, during the recent freshet, Mr.. David
Miller, who lives on Trout run, near Ellis's
mill, sbout two miles from Osceola, at
tempted to descend upon q raft 10 their
home from point OF the run where they
had gone to look after garden. Mrs. Mil
Ter was on the rear end Of the raft, while
tree had fallen across the stream, resting
Just high enough above the water to allow
the taEt to pass under, but not the occu-
pants. As they approached the tree at a
rapid rate, Miller directed his wife to jump
up on it and on the raft again on the other
side; but in the attempt to do so, her foot
was caught In hole on the raft and held
tight, and tie whole weight of the raft on
the angry waters was hurled against it in
this position, breaking both bones below the
knee. DR.. Reed reduced tne fracture, and
she is now as comfortable as 1t is possible
for her to be under the circumstances.

Uees Of Straw.

Since the cold weather came have
been busy stopping up crevices in
sheds and stables for horses and cat
tie. One Of the best means for doing
this is by the use Of straw. ! have
nearly closed the front Of basement
under barn by a double partition Of
old boards, and filled the space be-
tween with fine straw and chah. This
makes really a warmer room than
with a stone wall on the front Of the
basement. Where barns are entirely
above grolnd. sheds for cattle and
sheep may bc made quite cOmiorta-
bic by the liberal use of straw. An
excellent plan is % build the straw
stack partly over these sheds, and
extending down on at least three
sides. Or the shed may be more
chcaply made by being built with one
side against barn. By using plenty
Of straw a comfortable shelter may be
secured for stock with little or no
expense. Many q poor man who has
only one cow keeps ber better shell
tered than the larger herds Of wealthy
farmers. For stock rs wei! as for
men and women, large expenditure
of money Is not essential TO comfort
or happiness.
The scarcity Of hay will also nee
c-S,ta,r q larger use OF straw as tod-
der the coming winter. We have had
TO begin feeding earlier than usual.
aud the cold weather makes the hay
90 of rapidly With some grain.
straw is an economical and profitable
feed for stock. Good bay is worth
$50 per ton "a the Rochester market.
and mos, Of the fall corn has been
worth less than lc. per pound. There
can be- no doubt that corn at the
-amc price per pound Is much cheaper
food than hay. With corn a large
amount of straw can be used as feed,
and hay will take It's place with roots
A. rather an appetizer than as a staple
food. The advantage viii be also in
the better quality Of the manure
heap. Straw which has passed through
an animal j. ia much better condition
for plant food than that which has
only been used as bedding. 1t is
true that the straw gains nothing ex-
cept being pot in more available
condition for use. There is undoubt-
cdly more loss Of fcrulizing material,
and in either case the manure pile
must ierment to some extent before
the fertility it contains can be made
available But the larger proportion
Of animal cxcrcment that manure
contains, the more rapid and perfect
will bc its fermentation.

Care Of Lambs.

Breeding ewes, as the time ap.
proachcs that We expect them TO
declare their usual stock dividend,
must have great care. Never allow
them 10 run in the same enclosure
with other stock, especially hogs or
colts, as the former will invariably
destroy the lambs, and the latter. by
running and kicking, cause lambs TO
be born prematurcly or destroyed by
the rough play OF the colts. il is
always best 20 provide small dark
stable, large enough for one or two
sheep and their lambs. As soon as
YOU find sheep in labor. IL not too
far advanced, she ought to be put in
box or stall alone. Frequently
newborn lamb will get under n sack,
or in some out-ol.the-way corner, so
that its dam cannot look after il till
too much chilled To be saved without
taking il To the fire. Ii when found
the lamb seems too much chilled to
nurse from the dam alone, she should
be gently caught by an assistant, and
held fiat on one side while YOU milk
a few drops OF milk in its mouth, Ito
be held open by inserting finger of
the left handy. A very small guam
tity will most likely have the desired
effect, that is to make il desire more
aud try to suck with assistance.
Remember, always, that to follow
nature is The best plan, If the lamb is
able and the eve willing. We have
often seen lambs so far gone that
they could not move, from cold and
neglect on the mothers part, by
few moments care raised so as to be
the best of the flock.
All breeding ewes should be care
fully caught, and have the wool
shearcd around The udder, and whcr-
ever it will inconvenience the new
bora lamb In getting its fret nour.
ishncnt. Especially with young ewes
is this important. AS soon as the

lambs are two Or three weeks old
small troughs should be provided, in
which corn meal and bran mixed can
be kept at all times. The trough
should be made Of tvo six.iEcli
boards, raised Gw inches from the
ground, and have pole placed about
six or eight inches above the entire
length, 50 that the lambs while play
ing will not be able 10 get in the
trough, 50 az to soil the feed. The
openings to the feed trough must be
80 arranged that the ewes cannot get

lambs. Old thin ewes will need extra
care after the lambs come. TO make
them give sufficient milk. Single
lambs will not need as much care as

potatoes or cabbage. will be found Of
great benefit 10 ewes at this season Of
the year; if neither be at hand. wheat
bran is next best, as IL adds 10 the
navOr Of milk.
As soon as the lambs are three or
-four days old the tails should all be
cut off rcJy Shot with n sharp knife
even If they are only intended for the
butcher, short tails look 50 much
better that even a butcher will pay
more for them.

Fruit Without Pains,

yr1n The Country Gratlsmsn.
Most men have learned that they
must labor for what they are TO pos
scss and enjoy. Blessings do not
come by chance. But there Is one
exccptiun-in the case of fruit-so
Ear as many persons believe. When
they plant an orchard, they select
the trees without acknowledgement
supposing it necessary. After the
trees are planted they give them no
attcntion-not srpposing it necessa-
ry. In everything else, and in all
other crops they attempt TO raise,
they inform themselves thoroughly
and labor diligently. But in fruit
matters they arc constantly liable to
imposition from irresponsible hawk
crs, who oiier trees st enormous
prices, such as awberries growing
on trees, crosses between the rasp-
berry and the grape, plums never
stung by the curculio, pears which
are never attacked by disease, &c,
and the eXtravagant prices satisfy
the purchasers that they must be
something wonderful. ii these plant
ers would only coniine themselves TO
the very limited line Of knowledge
which they happen to possess, and
plant only the Baldwin aud Greening
among apples, the Bartlett and Seckel
among pears, and the Concord and
Delaware among grapes, they would
get n vastly better selection at mod
crate rates.

Barnyard vs, Commercial Aanures.

We find on our table the First
Annual report OF the Cornell Uni.
vcrsity Experiment Station. for which
We are indebted to the courtesy Of
Prof G.. G. Caldwell, who is the very
capable and energetic director of the
station. The report contains much
information of great practical impor-
tance TO farmers. That which strikes
US as being of greatest value, and
just now most seasonable, is con.
tanned in the reported results of n
five years series of experiments with
various fertilizers on Indian corn.
In explanation of these experiments,
Prof Caldwell says:
This series of experiments was be-
gun with the expectation of continu-
ing il through a number of years, or
at least till conclusive answers should
be obtained TO some of the questions
put in regard TO the manuring of this
important crop. A field Of about
two acres, with stiff clay soil, which
by previous cropping had been re-
duced to low condition of fertility,
was divided into 33 plots, each wide
and long enough for 3 rows of corn
with so hills TO the row. The chief
object OF the experiments was to
contribute something TO the settle
ment of the question as TO which of
the three most important constituents
