lions Herald makes a plea for stiffen-
ing the standard for admittance into the
Methodist ministry. Never in our his
tory. IL says, was the demand for manly
and strong men for our pulpits so exact
ing and inexorable. The removal of the
time limit is falling most crushingly upon
the minister of mediocre abilities. He is
being driven inevitably to the wall Moth
ing can save him from complete extinc-
ton except unflagging effort on his part
in the line of self-culture and useful ac-
tivty. The survival of the fittest is now
the unchanged BILE law with us. With these
facts so emphaticaliy enforced before our
eyes, It is surely no time to accept weak
and inadequate candidates for our minis
try. Presiding elders should in every
case give the church the benefit of the
doubt. Much. very much, more than pie
~ and zeal is demanded in the candidate.
These qualities soon burn out If there is
nothing left to feed and nourish them.
Discussing church union in England and
America, the New York Independent says:
Church union seems to be making much
more rapid progress in England than in
this country. For a number OF years
there has now been a definite confedera-
tion OF the free churches. This has work
ed admirably, and has brought the men,
bers of these churches into much closer
intimacy and fellowship. The Indepen-
dents, Presbyterians. Baptists and Wes-
leyans include between them nearly all
the nonconformist churches except the
Catholic, and they are all in the union.
This makes a strong confederation, near
ly strong numerically as is the Estab-
hshed church, though lacking its wealth
and prestige and titles. Yet 1t is no more
than a federation, and there is no good
reason why yet closer union should not
oe urde. This is what has now been pro-
posed, amid great enthusiasm, at a con-
ference of English independents and Bap-
lists. DR.. Joseph Parker has urged in an
eloquent speech the union of Independents,
Baptists and Presbyterians and 1t may
be that the time is ripe for II. They do
some good things much faster in Great
Britain than we do here. 1t is a matter
OF great discredit 10 us that we have
been so slow to follow the English lead in
federation. II seems strange that no one
appears ready to take the lead in this
matter The subject has been up in two
or three successive meetings of the Con-
gregational triennial national council, but
| nothing has been done beyond approving
| the proposition generally. Nobody tries
to do anything. So we rejoice I'm DR.. JOS
eph Parkers proposition to unite the
Presbyterians. Baptists and independents
| Of Great Britain. 1t is by such unions,
| taking in but two or three denominations
at a time, that larger union will begin
! This month the Presbyterians are to hold
| their annual general assembly. Why
should they devote their best time to SC

The Breeding Sow.

As the time for the selection of breed
ing SowS for next years lltterS is now nj
hand. the following hints by writer in
thee Farmer and Stockbreeder of Lon
den. England. are opportune, and will
commend themselves to farmers general
ly: To start successfully in the breed
ing OF pigs, care must be taken to see
that the SOW comes from mother which
is an easy feeder and a good nurse, and
care should also be taken to see that
she has not been stunted in the earlier
stages of her growth for want of enough
to keep her in comfort. These points
are absolutely essential. What breed TO
work on will depend mainly on individ-
ual taste and judgment She should not
be bred from so early as to injure her
own growth or the vitality of her off
spring If her first litter is fairly nu-
merous-say, from seven to ten good
pigs-and she nurses them well. that is
sow to retain as long as she is fit to
breed. Such a sow, properly managed,
will bear and nurse twenty pigs in a
season, and pay her way with Il good
profit on all the skill and food she gets.
If she does not keep up to her heredity,
is Il poor breeder, or n poor nurse. she
may have another trial. and should that
also prove unsatisfactory, she cannot too
soon be made into pork. No matter how
good she looks, she has failed in the
main purpose of her existence. Heredity
and selection by man who knows nj
the same time how to manage his stock
are the foundation principles of the
work of pork raising for profit. In ii
year or two. by careful management. a
splendid breeding herd can be estab-
lished. and ali the cheaper products of
the farm can by this means be readily
turned into good money. Pigs are able
to make much more effective use of the
foods with which they are supplied than
any other class of farm animals. EN-
perimentS have shown that. while the
pig is capable Of laying on flesh at the
rate of one pound for every five pounds
to seven pounds of dry food which It
consumes cattle require to eat from ten
pounds to twelve pounds, and sometimes
from fourteen pounds to fifteen pounds.
of dry food for every one pound of in
crease in weight that they show.
