At Berlin.

DR.. IL. A. Cutting, secretary of the
board, gave an address upon tho
of the plant to seek its
food" at Berlin this evening. 1t was an
address, and was followed by
a series OF questions upon fertilization.
which were ably answered.
Mr.. j. n Perrin remarked upon winter
fertilization, that he tried 1t with good
results last winter, and was doing the
same this winter. His last winter was
upon side hill, and at the bottom of the
hill he left rod or two 10 be fertilized by
the wash which he thought might take

BONES FOR FowIs.-Poultry breeders
do not seem to appreciate the great value
of bones for their fowls, and but limited
few ever make use ofthem for this purpose.
No matter whether the birds are confined
or not they are suro to be benefited by
moderate quantity of bones, though those
which are kept in close confinement need
them most. Nearly every family of any
size have refuse bones enough from the
kitchen to afford the poultry quite treat
from time to time, and when this is not
the case, or when the supply runs short,
enough can bo procured each week from
the nearest butcher at a very small price.
many butchers being glad to give them
away to get rid of them. These can be
crushed by using a large stone and
heavy hammer, though there isnow very
good and cheap mill made for the purpose.
The bones crush best when dry, and
should be reduced to about the size Of a
small pea. They are put in small troughs
or boxes, under cover, where the fowls
can eat what they want and to suit their
pleasure.

laborer for souls. His work only assumes
its real gravity when it is considered as
an agency in bringing men from death TO

have said, was needed in the work. ale
that winneth souls is wise"
Added to all these qualifications there
should be n willingness to use them all in
in the servic of the Sunday school. A man
might have splendid abilities for this
work but if he is so engrossed in secular
business, or given to worldly pursuits tha !,
he has no time or thought for this work
and is unwilling TO give time and thought
he certainly is unfit for the place. A man
to act efficiently in the place of Sabbath
school superintendent ought to be willing
to give many hours and days, patiently to
this work. He ought to seek those means
of culture, (resding and attendance upon
Sunday school gatherihgs) which will
constantly increase his efficiency, and give
give fresh impetus to his work. Should
any one think that the character here
outlined is rare, and that most of our
schools must be without model superinten-
dents, it is to be remembered that in this
state of things nothing is perfect but
imperfections and weakness; and we
must constantly strive after the best gifts
though they seem far beyond us.
The poorest gifts may be greatly,
improved by diligence, and without this
there can be little real achievement.
The brief of the matter is this Cody
man, of good tact and ability may fill the
place we'll if only he consent to labor
earnestly and patiently in this field
Work is the word. and work is sure to
win.

The First Engagement.

It is pleasant to turn to one Of the bright
est chapters Of the amenities Of home after
leaving the tyrants in gloomy solitude and
consider that pleasant episode Of home life,
the first engagement:
When it is an arrangement that satisfies
prudent papa and mamma, this is the most
delightful moment of mature life. It makes
young lovers. ALI men love q lover" The
introduction Of a: new son or daughter

daughter is 10 have the deep anchorage Of
marriage--these are delicious reflections.
We forget our trials, our cankeriae cares;
We forget that they, too, must fight the
same hard battle Of life which we have got
nearly through, aniwe see only the bl'ss-
full side of the picture. If, however, we do
not entirelyapprove, it is q great duty, aud
one which We owe our children, to hide

chosen one won we may not wholly

cation. coed health and moderate certainty
of a future living, and noparent has right
il his child is sincere y attached, to find
fnult with his or her choice.
OF course, NC mother ever saw any wife
quite good enough for her son; no father
imagines that the man con be born who is,
worthy of his daughter. Sometimes, With
out meaning it, this failing will show it
self; but it Tad much better be kept out Of
sight, if possible.
Either a family should take a girl wholly
to their hearts, and treat er as their own
daughter, Or they should decidedly disap-
prove from the first. No mntilated courte-
sy, no half handed generosity, no carping'
criticism is just or honorable. That their.
son loves her, wishes to make her his wife,.
should be very unans werable argument
for her hearty adoption into the family.
