How a Church Can Grow.
CHARITY and children.l

(Charlty and ChlIdfen)
The treasurer of the Methodist Or
phanage, Mr.. Jos. G.. Brown, says in the
Raleigh Christian Advocate: "Mr. r. n
Page writes that the church at Biscoe
will support two orphans-that is con-
tribute $4,000 annually. This church has
only twenty-five members. This is prob
ably the largest annual subscription from
any church in the State, considering the
membership" We presume this little
church leads any church of any demon
nation. 1t will soon be a big church
if it keeps on fertilizing itself in this
way.

for the various funds has been paid over

Sheriff was credited with those payments

Potato Scab.

Blackened. pocketlike cavities and
roughened corky spots are characteris-
tic of scab on potatoes On beets it
does not lead to pits, but results in
rough, corky elevations which are usu-
ally more extensive on the upper hall
of n root.
Every potato grower knows that some
soils are more favorable to scab than
others. Chemist Jones, of the Vermont
station. says: General experience indi.
Gates that heavy soils, whether they are
of clay, muck or humus, are Of the
favoring class. This may be because
they are moister.
There is ground for the statement
sometimes made that the soil best fitted
for large yield of potatoes is also most
inclined to scab
Experiments at the Rhode Island sta.
ton show that an acid condition Of the
soil checks the development Of the scab
fungus. and Professor Wheeler suggests
that blowing under green crop, such
40 clover, will check the scab fungus,
since this green matter while decom-
posing will render the soil temporarily
acid. On the other hand, fertilizers or
manures which tend to destroy the nat
ural acidity of the soil or to increase its
alkalinity may thereby render conditions
more favorable for the fungus
It is the common experience that
lime and ashes are apt to favor the scab.
The Rhode Island experiments showed
that this is attributable to their content
of carbonate Of lime which renders the
soil favorably alkaline Similar increase
of scab followed the use of soda ash ,
Carbonate of potassium,) and magne-
STA. Stable manure Of all kinds favors
the scab development, probably for sim
liar reasons.
Fertilizing materials which do not
tend to increase the scab and which
may even check it are enumerated as
follows: Common salt, land plaster,
most commercial fertilizers, Gncluding
superphosphates, sulpbate of ammonia,
nitrate of soda, kainit, muriate Of pot
ash and sulphate of potash.

For the Little Pigs.

A concentrated food containing large
per cent of indigestible woody FIBER like
bran is not suitable for young pigs, and
they will not thrive on it or a mixture
Of it half and half with some more d.
gestible concentrate until they have
reached the age of four or Eve months.
The harsh woody husk of wheat is irri-
tating to the stomach, causing indiges-
ton which finally results in scours, one
of the worst of young pig diseases -
Any food that contains a large per cent
OF indigestible matter should be rejected
as pig food during the first months of
the pigs existence. While they are still
with their mothers and for a time after
ward a good quality of shorts or mid
dlings or shorts with ground oats or
barley is found to give satisfactory re-
suits. This is particularly tho case if,
after weaving. these foods are supple.

Importance of Good Tillage.

The importance of good tiIlage CAME OF
be overestimated Not many years ago
it was thought and the belief still quit
common, that if soil failed to produce
we'll it was because of a deficiency ii,
plant food. Recent Investigations show
that many Of the so-cslled poor soils cat
be made to yield abundantly without the
application Of fertilizers, if proper meth
DDS of tillage are adopted.
We first pillow the land TO turn under
vegetation and expose a fresh surface, II
pulverize, aerate and warm the soil, and
to increase its water-holding capacity
If by any manner Of blowing we can
accomplish these purposes to a better
degree, it is to our advantage to do so
The vegetation should be put where it
will not interfere with the growing crop,
and where it will decay rapidly and
furnish plant food II too much vege-
tation is plowed under during a season
of the year when the ground is dry, it
will decay very slowly, and do positive
harm by preventing the capillary move
ment of water from below upward to the
surface, where it is needed For this
reason we should turn under vegetation
at time when it will be kept thorough
ly moistened and made to decay rapidly.
A considerable growth of green grass
plowed under will be converted into
available plant food quicker than a
smaller growth Of dry grass under like
conditions. Some soils require more
pulverization than others The pillow
should certainly do large part of this.
To this end, the moldboard should be
curved, to cause the furrow to open and
the particles to crumble by friction as
the furrow is sharply twisted. The har-
row can be used TO better advantage
when the furrow is not laid too fiat.
While pulverizatiOn is sought, plow-
ing sometimes has just the opposite
effect This is true if clay soils are
plowed when wet. 1t is not at all uu-
common to see blowing done when the
ground is so vet that the moldboard
fails to scour we'll 1t is not only plow-
ed when wet, but often narrowed, and
the seeds planted, when the clay is
sticky. This practice. called mudding
in a crop, is usually followed when the
work is somewhat behind The land
better be idle one year than to be so
subjected.
The pudding of clay can only be ex-
planned by saying that when the fine
particles Of such soil are moist, they
glide by each other with ease when dis
turbed and have tendency to Gil up
all spaces with solid particles Then
after the soil dries there is left a hard,
dense mass, with the PARTICLES so close
together that they adhere firmly. This
can be seen very nicely by kneading
handful of wet clay and afterward dry
ing it in the sun. Clay ground once
puddled RECEIVERS very slowly 1t can
often be prevented by applying lime
In this case the lime flocculates the par
ticles Of clay in ether words, it causes
the fine particles to congregate and form
larger masses, making the soil coarser
in texture. There is little danger Of
pudding. however, even in a fine clay,

10 in Vermont the death sem
tence mas just bean passed upon
Frank Shaw, an outlaw convict
ed Of the murder of the Sheriff Of
Windsor county, in that State.
The sentence is that Shaw shall
be hanged, but that the execution
shall not occur until the first
Tuesday Of February, 1908. This
is in compliance with the law
which requires that a session OF
the Legislature must intervene
between the imposition of the
death sentence and it's carrying
out. This provision OF the statute
was framed on the theory that
the Legislature may in it's wisdom
see st to abolish the death pen
atty. Further provision of the
law is that the convicted man
shall do hard labor in the State
prison for one year and nine
months, and that the last three
months Of his life shall be passed
in solitary confinement. This
presumably is on the theory that
the convicted man may better
prepare for death.
This is not only a peculiar law,
but it is a cruel one. The con-
demned murderer after his sen.
tence to the gaIlows is compelled
for two long years to watch the
hours and days go by, each Of
which brings nearer the moment
of his death. No matter how
hardened he may be this will be
