According to the census taken in April last the
population of England and Wales is 1856, 2s6,
against % 266 in 1871 and II 927 ,OO9 in 1851
The increase from 1851 to 1881 is therefore SO41-
81, or 44.S per cent. In London the population
is at present 3,814571 against 1884, $50 in 1871
and 1852, 1856 in 1851. This shows an increase of
1,4523 1876 since 1851, or 61.4S per cent This city
of London will doubtless have a population of
four millions before the end of 1884

method of accomplishing it is to either use strips
rings of asbestos, millboard, OF asbestos fibre

ingot mould and the bottom upon which it stands,
and the lid and the top of the mould, and if the
mould is made into more than one piece, between
the joints of the different pieces.

THE HARVEST CALL.
BY WILLIAM H. BCRLRIGH,

Abide not in the Realm Of Dreams,
Oh man, however fair it seems,
Where drowsy airs thy powers repress
In languor Of sweet idleness.
Nor inger in the misty Past,
Entranced in visions vague and vast;
But with clear eye the Present scan,
And hear the call of God and man.
That call, though many-voiced, is one
With mighty meaning in each tone;
through sob and laughter shrek and prayer
It's summons meets thee everywhere.
IhInk not in sleep TO fold thy hands,
Forgetful of thy Lords commands;
From Duty's claims no life Is free
Behold, To-day hath need of thee,
Look up!-the wide extended plain
Is blllowy with the ripened grain,
And on the summer winds are rolled
Its waves of emerald and gold
Thrust IN thy sickle nor delay
Inc work that calls for thee to-day;
tomorrow, if it come will bear
lis own demands of toll and care.
The present hour allots thy task!
For present strength and patience ask,
And trust His love whose sure supplies
Meet all thy needs as they arise.
Lo! the broad fields with harvests white
Thy hands to strenuous toll invite;
And he who labors and believes
Shall reap reward of ample sheaves.
Up, for the time is Shorthand soon
The morning sun will climb to noon;
Up!-ere the herds, with trampling feet,
Outrunning thine, shall spoil the wheat.
While the day fingers do thy best!
Full soon the night will bring its rest;
And, duty done, that rest shall be
Full Of beatitudes to thee.

THE VOICE OF YESTERDAY,

The wind blows east, the wind blows west,
And the snow is lightly falling;
The snow flies east, the snow flies west.
To the fond old year recalling:
Harden thy heart, the hour is near
When thou must part forever
From all the loves to thee so dear,
From all the merry weather"
The snow falls soft the snow falls slow
Its little crystals linger;
And passing riffs of sunny glow
Whisper the spring-time nearer.
And hearts may break and flowers die,
And old years pass forever
Into cold eternity,
The great sun dieth never.
And hearts shall rise, and SHOWS sbai. cease.
And birds shall sing forever
The little Christ Child bring its peace
And patience ever, ever.

on the plants or in box, provided the powder
actually touched them. 1t was tried ON the cab
bage-caterpillarsi in September, when the cabbages
were well grown, and the caterpillers, many of
them, nearly full grown, and was surprised at the
very large proportion of the worm which were
killed By sprinkling the liquid mixture upon
plant-ice, the insects soon dropped paralyzed
from the plants. BY simply blowing small
portion of the powder through hand-bellows,
into a room containing mosquitoes or house-fies,
the pests were brought to the floor in short
time. By throwing the dust into room late in
the evening the flies could be swept from the
floor in the morning. feel certain that by clos
ing the poultry house and filling it with the
powdery dust it would be cleared of poultry
vermin. 1 feel equally certain that by busting
among the feathers and hairs of our domestic
animals, we could destroy the various species of
lice. In fact, I am quite sanguine that this will
prove ready means for the destruction ofnearly
all our noXious insects, where the powder can be
actually brought in contact with them.7

ROTATION OF CROPS AND MANCRES.-Ins sum-
ming up the advantages of systematic rotation
of crops the supply Of manure that can be
vided for animals in the course of cropping, and
the ultimate profits that may be derived from the
manure when applied to the soil, must not escape
attention, as they are matters of great practical
importance. From the wide variations observed
in the action of farmyard manures on different
soils, we cannot decide upon any standard that
will enable us to determine their absolute value
in promoting the growth of crops in any given
case. For example, dressing of manure on a
heavy soil would not produce precisely the same
results that would be obtained by the same ma
nure on light soil, and the different effects OBJ
served in the two cases would be still further
complicated by variations arising from peculari-
ties of seasons The direct method of expert
mentation for determining the absolute value of
manures, which would at first sight be suggested
cannot, therefore, from the complex conditions
involved, be applied with any prospect Of sue
It will be readily seen from what has already
been presented, that a variety of crops grown in
succession will tend to economic the elements
of fertility in the SOIL that the greatest aggre-
gate return for natural productiveness or for ma
nures applied would be obtained: while the con-
tinuous growth of a single crop would result in
the waste of some Of the valuable constituents
of the soil which are not in a form available for
it, but which could be made use of by other crops

been formed from the decomposition of moses
and sedges, which contain elements of much less
value; or it may consist largely of sand, and,
therefore, be comparatively worthless. In the
third case it may be impregnated with protoxide
of iron, which is deadly poison to vegetation.
All muck should not, therefore, be discarded at
once, but its elements should be ascertained, and
a fair trial be made before it is condemned.
DEPTH FOR PLANTING SEEDs.-No rules of
universal application be given asto the proper
depth at which seed can be planted In dry,
sandy SOILS situated in dry climates, a deeper
covering is required than would be judicious un-
Ger opposite conditions For example, it has
been shown that peas continue longer in bearing
condition. on sandy soils, when sown at depth
of six inches than they do when placed nearer
the surface; and it is said that the Indians upon
the table-lands of the Colorado plant corn ten to
twelve inches below the surface with best results;
but, if planted with only one or two inches ofcov
ering, the crop fails. Seeds also vary IN their
ability to penetrate depths of soil In terminating.
Leguminous seeds, and some Of the largestseeding
graminea can be planted deeper than those Of
lighter character.
PLANT GRowTH-In a paper lately published
by Koppen, on the relation of conditions OF heat
to the phenomena Of growth in plants, the con-
clusion is reached that variations of temperature
are in all cases prejudicial to the growth of the
germ, even when amounting to few degrees
only, the termination proceeding more rapidly
at a low but uniform temperature than alta higher
one subject to variation. A nearly uniform
spring temperature with cloudy sky, is indicated
as more favorable to rapid development of vege-
tation than an alienation of hot days and cool
nights, the mean temperature in each case being
the same.

Dec 13th-Mr. scoville, have been out of
health since writing the above; consequently
have not sent the money! have been in sorrow
and poor health ever since the 4th of March in
in view of the calamities that were coraing upon
us as a nation. The Jews asked that Barrabas
be released & Jesus sacrificed. We as a nation
say Guiteau is murderer. Now | in the name
of the nation ask for the release of Guiteau lest
his blood shall be upon and our children.
represent Rachel weeping for her children be-
cause they are not. May the Hon. Court consider
well what they are doing for it affects the whole
nation 1t will be well to consider the case of
Cain The man who killed Cain was to receive
seven fold greater punishment. Lamech who
acknowledged he had slain man to his wound
ing and young man to his hurt; and if Cain
was avenged seven fold, he should be avenged
seventy and seven fold.
Christ in His beautiful lessons told us to for
give seventy times seven. And when he was
upon the cross he said Father forgive them for
they know not what they do" And could Pres
ident Garfield speak from the tomb to-day he
would say-Slay not that man.
And l believe the love had to our President
while living, and his beautiful wife and children
causes me to make this appeal. God is resurrect-
ing the Jews from every nation under heaven
and bringing them to this Nation Now we as
Gentles profess to believe in this Jesus whom
the Jews rejected, and what leson this is that
we are clamorng for blood as they did with
Jesus.
Mr.. Guiteau could no more help wounding
President Garfield than President Garfield could
help being wounded. If hanging & shooting &
lyncllng is benefit to our nation why is it that
crime increases instead of decreasing.
May God keep me from having any hate to any
living being on this earth.

your kind efforts in behalf of the least man upon

glad that l have learned from the Prophets and

Should you and your wife pass through here, l
would like very much to have you call and see

Please let Mr.. Guiteau read this letter for am

grown rich simply by the liberal application of
muck to his farm. Another asserts that he has
tried muck on his land, and found it worthless
third says that he has nearly ruined his farm by
it's use Although different kinds of muck are
usually much alike in their general aspect, their
