CHURCH STATISTICS.

One of the subjects that occupied
the attention of the recent Plenary
Council in Baltimore is the growth
Of the various religious denomination
in the United States. Expert statis-
ticians were employed to compile
figures. Their table, which shows
both the absolute and relative growth
is interesting. By the census of 1860
the population of the United States
was 81 ,445, $50. The present popu-
lation is estimated at 55,000,00O.
The gain in twenty-five years is,
therefore, % 500, 900, or at the rate
of 20 per cent. In 1860 there were
5000, 900 Methodists in this country.
Since 1860 the total has grown to
100000, which is an increase of
70 per cent.-keeplng pace exactly
with the increase in population. The
number of affiliants of the various
Baptist churches 1860 was 5000, 1000.
To-day it is II, 100000. The increase
in twenty-five years is, therefore, 30
per cent, gain in absolute ratio,
but falling off when considered
relatively. The Presbyterians in
1860 numbered 100000; now they
number $500, O00-an increase in
twenty-five years of 80 per cent.
The Lutherians, who have been ma
terially benefited by constant and in
creasing immigration, have grown
from $4,000 in 1860 to 100000
in 1884, or at the rate Of 60 per cent.
The Congregatlonalists have declined
relatively very much. In twenty
five years they have advanced p per
cent-that is, from l, Alb, 900 in 1860
to 100000 at present. On the other
hand, the various Reformed churches
Dutch. German and Evangelical
show an increase of nearly so per
cent.-from $4,000 in 1860 to
100000 to-day. The Episcopal
ians show fair increace in numbers,
yet are relatively below the average.
Their percentage of gain is trife
over 33 per cent. in twenty-five
years, bringing up the total from
100000 to 200, 900. The Hebrews
have increased from $50, 900 in 1860
to 700, 900 in 1684-a full 100 per cent.
of gain. The Friends, or Quakers,
show an absolute as we'll as relative
decline. They have fallen 60 per
cent.-from 100000 in186O, to $780,
900 IN 1884. The denomination of
Christians, who are numerous in Ken-
lucky, Southern Indiana, South
ern Illinois and Missouri, number
8O0,000 against 100000 in 1890, an
absolute gain of 60 per cent, yet a
falling off relatively of fifteen. But
the most surprising feature of the
calculations just completed is the
growth of Catholics. In 1860, they
numbered in the United States 3,175-
600. Now they are 100000. This
is gain of 200 per cent. in twenty
five years and should the same ratio
of increase continue to be preserved,
would number fifteen years hence

EARLY CHICKS.

Every breeder desires early chicks,
and plans to secure them if possible.
Just now every one is anxiously
looking for setting hens, in order to
secure a good number of chicks by
the time the snow disappears. The
absolute freedom from lice is no.
where greater than with our setting
hens. Poor results in Matching, hens
leaving their nests, the death of so
many young chicks, all these in a
large number of cases may be charg-
ed to the presence of vermin in and
about the nests. Here is loss that
cannot be regained. Time is rapidly
passing, and the earlier the chicks
are Matched after the snow is gone,
the better the results, more rapid the
growth, the larger the per cent. of
profit. There should be no trusting
to luck. The details must be attend
ed 10. There must be freedom from
vermin in order for success to be
possible. The best way to destroy
these parasites is to provide against
tn cir coming and pervent their OBJ
tanning a foothold. Fresh, clean
nests should be provided, and their
contents should be equally free from
faint. Then the hens should be
carefully attended to before they are
allowed to enter. Into the hay,
straw or chaff forming these nests,
scatter sulphur before the hen COM
mences her labors. The hens should
be treated by rubbing through their
feathers the sulphur strongly impreg-
mated as it is with carbolic acid.
Give them clean pen, away from
other hens, and provide a good dust
bath, easy of access. Attend to
these details, and the chicks will
come out of the shell and take up the
work of forming bone and muscle,
free from the enemy which so often
destroys entire flocks. Follow these
suggestions, and place in the nests
only as many eggs as can be kept at
the right temperature, and you will
have no cause TO regret the time given
when the Matching day arrives.

CASH VALUE OF MANURE

Among the many sensible things
done by the Professor or Agriculture
at Cornell University is, the economi-
cal way in which he takes care of the
manure of the stock kept on the
farm, consisting of sixteen horses
and colts and thirty-four of the COW
kind. The stables for these animals
are arranged convenient to COW
cred yard, into which the droppings
of these animals are thrown in a way
to have them we'll mixed together.
The manure from both horses and
COWS is much better preserved when
mixed than when kept separate. By
mixing as 1t is dropped, he gets tine
manuse of both in the best possible
condition, and of uniform quality.
The floors of the stables are water
tight, and litter enough is used to
take up all the liquid voiding and
keep odors down. Thus all the
droppings, both solid and liquid, are
| carried into the yard, and as that is
covered, nothing is lost, as is usual
when liquid eXcrements are permit
ted to drain through open floors into
| the ground below, OF to wash away
with the soluble part of the solid ex-
crements with every rain or thaw
during the winter, causing a loss
that often amounts to two-thirds of
the whole value of the manure made.
| When taken to the fields, the ma
nure from fifty head Of stock above
| mentioned, for six and half months
with the litter mingled with it, was
found by weighing every tenth load
and analysing average samples. to be
worth $1,624.36, its value being
measured by the price of correspond
ing fertilizing elements, as sold in
commercial fertilizers. This made
the manure from each animal average
$3.50 for the winter. When their
manure is thus econOmizied, stock
growing will make any farm rich
