CONVENTION BRIEFS.
BY REV. FL. l.. CANFIELD.
State Superintendent.

IT is no unusual thing to hear from
our people complaints concerning the
State Convention or its officials, and
criticisms of it's work and methods. 1t
is not too much to say, however, that
these complaints and criticisms
made no doubt with good intent-are
generally based upon ignorance or mis-
understanding. Let it be understood
now and for all time that the Conven-
tion does not belong to its officials-was
rot created by them, nor is its policy
dictated by them.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-01-21

Our first need is to revive and tho
roughly establish the churches that we
have; thus making for ourselves a more
substantial base from which to operate
in spreading our faith and in conquer
ing new territory. If our churches were
genuinely revived, one of the results
would be to increase our ministerial
force which is numerically weaker to-day
than it was twenty years ago. Already,
however, the tide is setting hopefully to
ward Ohio, and we have been strength
ened during the past year by several val.
uable accessions to our ministerial ranks
Let us keep what we have, and get as
many nore as we can.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-01-21

THE Convention belongs to the
people who compose our churches; its
officers are their servants, willing and
anxious to do their bidding. The peo-
pie are invited and urged to come up
to tie annual meetings of the Conven-
tion in the persons of their carefully
chosen and competent representatives,
that they may learn the facts of the sit
uation at first hand, and that they may
add their best advice and counsel as a
contribution to the aggregate of that
wisdom by which we all hope our
work may be guided to glorious success.
Come to the Convention and help,
rather than stay away and grumble.

AGRICULTURAL LETTER.
r rom the Arkansas Industrial Uni
 Versity
Composts.

In continuance of last week s article we propose t0 give few hints on the preparation Of cOmp0StS. ChenOWeth's s methods, though somewhat old. are ex- trenely good. Two points are neces- Sary for success-drSt, hastening the decomposition of the substances used: second, fixing any volatile valuable gases as they are formed. No odors should escape from the heap. When bad od0r is observed it is obvious that there Is an imperfection in the composition. Some advise that the shape of the compost heap be circular cOnlcal, with well in the center to catch the drainage. In this we'll there Is Set common wooden pump, which IS used to pump up the liquids, and then they are allowed to trickle over the top of the heap and again perme- ate it very thoroughly. This process IS repeated several times. Two disad- yantages have been urged against this method first, the amount of heat that is produced in the heap is guide as to tine raplditY of the decomposition. and any application of water would conse- quently tend to slacken this change: second. all substances commonly used III the preparation of composts usually contain larger amount of wates than is needed to aid decomposition. It has been stated by some of the older vii ters that the oxygen of the atmosphere IS what is alone needed to induce the fermentation that goes on in the com post heap. It has been shown. how ever, by Daws & Gilbert, in England. and by Armsby, III this country, that when mtrogenous organic substances undergo decomposition in presence of much oxygen large quantities of free nitrogen gas may be evolved from the materials. lnasmuch as this loss of nitrogen appears to depend upon some principal of oxidation the importance of hlndering free oxygen from gaining access to the interior of manure heaps is apparent. The following construc- ton Is fairly good: An elevated piece ot ground should be selected, as near the materials to be used as is conye- nlent. The intended compost heap should be ten to fifteen feet wide at the base. both sides inclining towards the center, like the roof of a house. The heap should extend lengthwise as far as needed up and down incline. Ihis prevents any accumulation of water around the heap. and also for those who wish to lessen the labor of turning over. The next consideration IS to prepare the bottom or drainage. or course none of the fertilizing mois- ture contained in the materials should be lost; neither should there be any addition to it in the shape of rain water. Dig ditch lengthwise of the intended heap.
 Concluded Next Week.
