Tough Subjects.

There are between five hundred and six hundred Chinamen in Sunday schools and missions in New York. They are there chiefly to learn to talk English, for there are only fifty-three of the number who are out-and-out Christians; that is, members of the churches. A religious worker among the mongolians says the church people have got to realize that the Chinaman is pretty hard subject to christianize.

suso :o .cncit both the crops and the land as the genuine barnyard manure Do you expect to keep up the fertility of the soil by the constant use of com mercial fertilizers! If you do, banish such an idea, and remember if there is anything in connection with farming that is worth initiating your ancestors init is the application of barnyard man. ure, the great and only truly reliable soil fertilizer.
 If you have an abundance of hay and straw, it will pay you to buy up sheep at the stockyards ill the fall, and also cattle and feed them through the winter. Their manure will more than pay for their keeping, and they can be- side be disposed of in the spring at a good profit. It is indeed poor farm and an indifferent farmer who does not have every other year a pasture or meadow land that is so rich that he can break mp in his order of rotation of crops to follow with grain. Many practical authorities have concluded it is best to keep the barnyard manure hauled out and spread on the land about as fast as it is made, as the land will thus get the benefit of many elements that are lost while it is under going fermentation. Of course, in advising this, reference is had to pas lures and grass lands; if thus spread on plowed lands before 8 crop has got started, much of the liquid element is lost.
 Does the farmer, who to his sorrow notices that his land is getting poor and his crops each year getting less, and his work becoming harder even to get these light crops, pause and consider why, perhaps the adjoining farm has been at the same time improving, and is yielding larger and better crops than it did few years ago? No. We'll, there is simply this difference. One farmer has s'run" his farm with an aim to keep up the fertility of the soil, the other simply to get all he could out of the soil; in short, one farm has run up, the other run down.
