THE FIRST CHURCH OF QUINCY.

Two notable sermons were preached by the
pastor Rev. John Hancock at the compile
ton of the first century Of the churchs ex-
istence. A century later Rev. William p.
Lunt preached two able discourses, and at
the forenoon service hymn written for the
occasion by Hon. John Quincy Adams, then
an ex-president of the United States, was
sung Authorities differ somewhat as to
whether the present church is the third or
fourth to be occupied by the old society. 1t
can be put down as very probable that the
little ''stone chaple" was the original church.
The date of the building of this edifice is
uncertain, but it is known to have been
standing as early as 1910 1t had no pews,
except such as were built by individuals from
time to time. There were Seats however,
but the men sat apart from the women. The
hour for beginning service was announced by
beating drum and an hour glass stood be-
side the pastor to warn him when his time
was up Church going in those times was a
serious matter, the services occupying the
greater part of the day. On March II, l72S
or 1929, twenty shillings were voted to Joseph
Parnenter as payment for keeping dogs out
of the church on the Sabbath. March 80,
1870, the town paid the same Joseph Parmen-
ter twenty shillings for clearing cart loads
of snow from inside the church A new
wooden church was erected and dedi-
Gated in 1882 In 1906 it was con-
siderably enlarged. On April 8, 1927,
ground was broken for the present edifice.
The corner stone was laid on June IL, 1927,
the principal address being made by the
pastor, Rev. Mr.. Whitney The church was
dedicated Nov. L., 1928, Rev. Messrs Gray,
Brooks, Lowell, Whitney and Porter taking
part in the exercises. The church is of gran
lite, with pediment in front supported by
four massive Doric pillars 1t contains l5e
pews, twenty two of which are in the gallery.
The total cost was about $35,OO0

only paid for the privilege. That was

to the civil authorities of the State and
pay for license which is their indul-
gence to practice wickedness under the
protection of the law. That is the barbar-
ism of the present"
Now that the saloons of Cincinnati

Menelik IL, who was recently crowned at

they had better right to the throne.

SUMMER FALLOWiNG.
Conditions Under Which the Work III;
Prove of Great IIse.

Conditions Under Which the Work May
Prove of Great Use.
In answer to an inquirer for the latest
experience of intelligent farmers us to
the value of summer fallows, we may
state that modern practice has consid-
erably reduced the necessity for re-
sorting to them, but still it OCCASION
ally happens that they prove Of great
use. Their chief benefit is in the de-
struction of weeds, while they afford
the opportunity for a cheap and rapid
pulverization Of the soil with broad
cast two-hOrse implements. Some
perennial weeds, which would other
wise require many tim es the amount
of work in hoed crops if done by hand
are thus cheaply and rapidly cleared
from the land. Formerly, they were
deemed necessary to cleanse the soil
even Of annual weeds; but the work is
now done with broadcast cultivation,
if thoroughly performed, in the follow
ing manner: First, and before the
crop is planted, piow and harrow
thoroughly rs much as may be re-
quired; then plant, and before the
crop has come up, give the ground a
thorough mellowing with the smooth
ing harrow over the whole surface.
This breaks and destroys all the small
sprouting weeds before they can come
up, without injuring the larger and
more deeply set strong plants OF the
crop. This course is particularly sue
cessful with any of the grass-like
plants, such as corn, wheat or sorghum,
the teeth slipping over the thread-like
leaves. The narrowing being repeated
every few days, or as often as may be
necessary to destroy all the coming
weeds before they are half an inch
high, sweeping over the whole surface.
corn and all, keeps the whole field
clean with ease. If the weeds are
carelessly allowed to get two or three
inches high, the whole operation will
be failure The larger the plants
become, the less is the danger of tear
ing them out, but the loss of a few is
overbalanced by the benefit. In this
way, the practical advantages of the
summer fallow are obtained while the
crop occupies the land. But with such
perennials as Canada thistles and quack
grass, this treatment will not answer,
but summer falIow in its fullest ex-
tent must be thoroughly resorted to,
by preventing the growth OF q single
leaf or blade for day.-Country Gen

Ashes for Livestock.

The public do not generally appre-
ciate the benefit Of ashes for nearly all
classes Of stock. The acidity in the
stomach Of animals is the fruitful
cause of many classes OF disease.
Ashes WHICH are derived from the
combustion Of vegetable matter such
as corn cobs, stalks, straw, etc. are
composed largely Of potash and phos-
phoric acid, which aid so materially in
forming and strengthening the bones
Of animals. Souring Of the food in the
stomach is what causes bloat, colics.
hatulence, diarrheas, etc. Cobs
burned and the ashes fed with salt, or
q handful occasionally in oats for
horses, in the slop for hogs, or ground
food for cattle, or all classes of stock,
would be n profitable use for cobs to
prevent souring food or acidity. All
the cobs on the farm should be burned.
They are worth little else. The 5shes
Of cobs are richer in potash and phos-
phoric acid than any other ashes, and
not an ounce should be wasted. A
barrel or two should be saved dry and
protected from rain or damp air, when
the cobs are burned, to feed regularly
in amaH quantities at q time to domes-
tic animals. 1t will make them
healthy, strengthen their bones, stim-
ulate their blood, and ward off disease.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

A little raw egg or lime water
stirred into the food is the remedy for
scours in either calves or pigs en-
ployed at the Wisconsin experiment
station.
A low-wheeled wagon is of heavier
draught than the high-wheeled ve-
hicle, but for hauling short distances
the former is preferred by many owing
to the ease with which it can be
loaded.
Cows are often said to dry up in
the fall, when, in fact, they freeze up.
Good, warm quarters, warm water and
soft feed, as ensilage or roots, will
soon prove that drying up is only
freezing and starving.
"A cellar that is intended for vege-
tables should not be used for stor-
ing coal or for furnace. The coal
dust blackens the walls and articles,
while furnace (for heating the
house, causes the temperature to be
too high in the cellar when the wealth
er is only moderately cold.
Pig pens which stand high on

them and through the floors.
EARLY maturity is an important
factor in the qualifications of beef cat

entered the Alliance. In union is
strength. The voice Of one farmer
may be heard, but when hundred
or a thousand unite and make a
reasonable demand, there will be
somebody to listen to them. Some
sort of organization is necessary on
their part. The Alliance is the best
thing offered. Of course they will
make some mistakes, suffer some
losses, do things they ought not to
do, but they will learn experience,
and grow little wiser and more
circumspcct. Good will COME from
the struggle. The sympathics of
many, not engaged in farming, go
out to them. The desire of the poo
pie is that the farmers may rise to a
higher place every way, and that
these lessons and experiences will
not only tend to their material i'm
provement, but also to the develop
ment of all that is good and high
