Founder of the Christian Church.

Alexander Campbell, the acknowl-
edged founder OF the Christian sect
named Disciples of Christ (often called
Campbellites), was the sou of the Rev.
Thomas Campbell, n Presbyterian divine
who emigrated from England to America
in 1907. Alexander was born in County
Antrim, Ireland, in June, 1856. He was
educated in the University OF Glasgow,
where he remained until 1909, when he
followed his father to America, and set
tied in Washington County, Pa, near
Bethany, the site of Bethany College,
West Virginia, which he organized in
1871. and of which he was for many
wears the President. For a short time
after coming to this country he was
pastor of o Presbyterian Church, but
having adopted the belief that Christians
should accept no creed or declaration of
faith but the whole Bible he and his
father left the Presbyterian communion
| in 1910 and organized o church at Brush
Run, Pa. In 1872 he and his church
| declared their belief i'll immersion as the
only form of Christian baptism author
| lied by Christ, and, in conformity with
this doctrine, they were all immersed.
Here, then, at Brush Bun. Washington
| County, Pa, in the years 1S10-1S12, may
| be said to be the place and date of the
rise of this sect. True, this little society
subsequently united with Baptist asso-
citation for time, maintaining con
stantly, however, their abjuatiop OF OIL
creeds, and with such pertinacity and
argressiveness, that in time they were
excluded from fellowship with the Bap
tst churches. In 1927, feeling the neec
of some bond of union among them
selves, the several societies who accepted
the peculiar doctrines taught by DR.
Campbell, commenced to form them
selves into on association, which hal
since become n wide-extended churcl

The Toughest Story Yet.

1t is evident that whiskey is either sold
for medical or scientific purposes in Lar
ned,or at least the following yarn implies
that there is A certain lady in this
country last spring set . hen upon thir-
teen eggs. A few days aftorward, look
ing into the nest, she was surprised TO
fud the eggs missing and the hen gone,
and in their stead huge rattlesnakc
comfortably coiled up. Noticing the
swelled condition of his snakeship, she
procured a spade and pinned his head to
the ground. Then, with rake, the tail
was drawn out and fastened down tc
prevent wriggling. A pen knife soor
split the reptile from head to tail, and
the eggs taken out Being carefully
washed they were placed under the same
hen, and eventually every one hatchec
out and the chicks grew and thrived
We regret that a strict regard for trutf
compels us to say that the hen was no
swallowed, nor were the chickens marked
with snake.

Methods Of Making Butter.

Numerous methods of butter making
are in use. In Devonshire, England, a
method somewhat peculiar has long been
practiced. The milk is heated so as to
produce clotted or 'clouted' cream. The
milk fresh from the COWS is strained into
shallow earthen pans, in each of which
half pint of water has previously been
placed, to prevent the milk from adher,
ing to the pan in the subsequent process
of scalding After twelve hours the
pans are placed over the fire, care being
taken not to disturb the cream, and
heated until the milk attains temper
ature of lS0 degrees, and then allowed to
stand the usual time. The scalding eff
fects the separation of the whole of the
cream from the milk, and greatly facili
tates its conversion into butter. The
cream is easily churned by stirring it
The butter made by this process is said
by some persons to be altogether supe
rior to that made without scalding, and
to keep better, while others say that il
contains an undue proportion of cheesy
matter, and does not keep well. Scald
ing the milk as soon as drawn from the
COW, is sometimes advantageously prac
ticed in this country in the winter time
10 facilitate the churning of the butter
The butter thus made Is of better quail
ty than that made without scalding.

FatteEing Anlmal'.

The Indiana Farmer, referring to
the matter of fatt.ning animals, says,
sheep fatten most rapidly at two to three
years of age. BY feeding rich fodder,
one year old sheep will increase in
weight more rapidly than when older,
for the period of growth is not yet
passed. Whilst they will fatten also at
his age, the flesh is not esteemed as
when older, as it is more watery. Lambs
taken very young and fed high are fat
tened and made palatable. But when
fattened for profit as well as palatable
flesh, sheep as other animals should be
matured in growth first 1t is also true
that after animals have become too old,
neither profitable fattening nor the most
palatable flesh can be secured with the
best of food Whether for economy in
feeding, or choice meat, the best is at
tainable when the animal is well matured;
neither before, nor much after that
period.

The Application Of Manure.

Although the question, how to apply
manure, has been, n,distussed pretty largely
by the agricultural papers for many
years past, it can never be put to rest so
long as we, the readers, occupy such di-
versity of climate and soil No rule will
be found applicable in all localities, eli
mates or soils, or by all individuals, as
each farmer has an opinion and practice
OF his own. That circumstance may
make it more profitable for farmer to
haul out his manure and spread it on the
surface is undisputed; but that the ma
nure loses nothing by such exposure is
the veriest absurdity, in my experience
and opinion. Yet often the question of
expedlency will warrant a slight loss in
the value of the manure, rather than n
larger expense for hauling in more dri-
wing season. Manure spread on the soil
in Autumn and Winter, TO be covered
with sno " or kept wet with rains, loses very
much less than if fully exposed to sun
and wind, so that this mode of applica-
tion, although applicable in the Northern
States, would be entirely impracticable
in the Southern States. SO also dissim-
lar effects result at the North in differ
ent seasons. In my experience and lin
tied observation, | have found that the
sooner the manure is incorporated in the
soil, the greater and better the effect on
that soil, and the better the crops immo-
diately following such application.
Hence | have concluded that much
of the value of barn manure may be lost,
by being exposed 20 the sun, air aud
rains, and that spreading manure on the
surface of land to be plowed, to remain
long, unless in rainy time or when the
ground is covered with snow, is bad prac
tice, as the sun and air will positively
draw off its virtues, according to the
length of time exposed. / also conclude
that manure in fine, composted, well de
composed state may be spread upor
grass lands in early Spring, Immediately
after cutting the first crop, or in late
Autumn, and very little of its virtues
will evaporate or be lost, if the grass
grows freely to shade it, when the sea
son becomes warm, and that the best
possible way Of applying manure to cul
tivate lands, is to plow it in, or otherwise
incorporate it into the first one or TIVE
inches of surface soil, and the finer th
manure is made, and the more thorough
ly mixed in the soil, the better the re
suits.

The origin of the printers Devil

j. Theodore Bent, in FraSer's Maya
zine, gives the following version of the
origin of the well known title of the
youngest apprentice in printing office,
''printer's devil'-which will be an en-
lightenment to the general public, and
in fact, to most of the printers, we i'm
agine: "Aldus Manutius, the celebrated
printer of Venice, Q4o015l5), had a
small black slave whom the superstitious
belived to be an emissary of satan. To
satisfy the curious, one day he said
publicly in church, 81, Aldus Manutius,
printer to the Holy Church, have this
day made public exposure of the print
er's devil all who think he is not flesh
and blood, come and pinch him" Hence,
in Venice arose the somewhat curious
so6riquet of the "priuter's devil"
