An Old Missionary Society.

England's oldest missionary society Is
now devoting its energies to the ad-
vancement OF the spiritual condition Of
the Canadian Indians, and is known as
the "New England Company" 1t dates

dinance was passed creating corpora
ton of sixteen persons, called "The
President and Society for the Propaga-
ton of the Gospel in New England"
with power to acquire lands, goods and
money. The society had its origin in
the interest created at that time by the
labors and writings Of John Eliot, and
owed it's first endowment to Oliver
Cromwell, the Lord Protector, who or
dered collection to bC made in the
parishes Of England and Wales, thereby

PROFIT IN POPCORN.

diminutiou of the price. 1t will bear to

most other farm crops. Nearly always
in spring there is an active demand, and
prices are always higher than in the fall
Most kinds of popcorn require a long
season to fully mature, and hence should
be planted early. When we'll kept the

CLOVER ENsILAGE.

The great losses of ciover.hay oc.
.asioned by rains last year ought to dis
pose farmers favorably to the silo. The
reaper can be put in the cl yer as soon
As the dew is off, and the clover put in
the silo almost as soon as it is cut.
Hence, the silo makes the clover grower
independent of rain. Expensive cutters
md powers, and the labor of cutting, are
aot needed for clover. Glover ensilage,
with grain and meal, is an excellent
winter feed. Glover for ensilage should
aot be cut until it is mature. In the
early days of the silo, clover was cut
while too young, and the result was a
Tery poor quality Of ensilagc. The amount

A Quick Witted Tur...

Mr.. Rowland, of w. 81. Sloane, tells
the following good story on himself as
illustrative of the quickness of the Turk
ish merchant at grasping an opportunity,
despite his apparent slowness: 81 hap

merely out of curiosity After / had
looked at a number of things without
finding any that suited me, l happened
to notice an old rug which lay on the
floor, and which had some good points

worth at the utmost $40. | asked the
old fellow how much he wanted for it.
and he at once concluded that wanted
it badly, and asked SIS. offered him

way to dicker. had gotten him down
to $50, and he had gotten me up to $50,
with very excellent prospects of our
finally settling on $40, when an English
man came along, accompanied by his
valet. The latter was burdened with
various things that the Englishmln had
been purchasing at the bazars, and they
were moving along slowly. As they
passed the entrance the old merchant was
holding up the rug TO show its good
qualities, and the Englishman stopped &c
look at it. He was typical English
traveller, with more money than brains.
Utterly ignoring me, he shouted to tht
Turk;
"'How much do you want for thai
rugl'
"Quick as flash the Turk called back
$3.50. There was not change of musclt
in his face or anything to indicate tina

A Floating Bazaar.


A German steamer, which is intended
to make round of the ports of the
world, carrying floating bazaar as cargo,
is now being loaded at Hamburg. Stalls
are to be erected on the decks and Ger
man goods will be displayed to all ad :
vantage. There will be curiosities. side
shows and refreshments peculiar to the
German nation, while music of the
Fatherland's composers will be given by
fsultless Teuton bands
A small army of commercial travellers
will invite all possible customers at every
point of call. There was an idea of hav-
ing young ladies to preside over some of
the stalls, but it did not entirely COM
mend itself to favor, some of the older
heads thinking the damsels might part
with their own sensitive hearts as well
as with their goods and quit the ship al
together. Each voyage is to last two
years and the first stoppage will prob
ably be New York. The great ship and
her cargo have cost 81 ,250, 000.-Sda

chief causes of the scarcity of intelligent
farm labor wherever it exists. In the
cotton States very few laborers are en-
ployed through the year at given rates in
money, this class mostly preferring to
work at shares of the produce. The|ex-
cessive wages formerly demanded by har
vesters in the great wheat regions have
b9en reduced along with the introduction
of improved machinery for doing har
vest work. There have been only slight
fluctuations in the average rates of wage!

CAPACITY OF A HORSES STOMACH.

The capacity of an animals stomach is
lot in any way criterion for judging
'ully of the quantity of food and water it
nay require or may consume. The
'tomach has capacity of about twelve
quarts, but yet the animal will eat more
lay and oats at a meal than the stomach
could hold in its ordinary condition. A
arge bundle of hay and pack of oats
will be readily eaten by horse of 1000
pounds weight. This quantity of food
will distend the stomach considerably,
out it is relieved of this distension by
he constant passage of the food into the
ntestines, where it is fnatlly digested.
The water drank stays in thc stomach or
he intestines very short time A few
minutes is sufficient time for the water to
become absorbed into the blood and ths
issues or pass off through the skin or
The kidneys. The reasonable, way to
est the safe quantity of food is to con
ult the healthful appetite of the horse,
md to, avoid trouble after full meal by
always watering the animal before feed
ng. More harm is done by neglect of
his precaution than by the horse eating
more solid food than the stomach can
afely contain. -Neto Torh Times.
