A bulletin issued by the bureau OF
statistics of the federal department of
agriculture gives the estimated losses
OF the different kinds of farm animals
for the year ended April l, 1908, as
follows: Horses, per cent loss from dis
ease IL, number $4,000; cattle. from
exposure and disease 81 per cent,
2.2o3O00; sheep, from exposure and
disease 40 per cent. 2,47S.000; swine,
from disease 80 per cent, 2.04O0OO. In
the case of both cattle and sheep the
losses from exposure for the year just

comparison with the figures given for
the ten year average loss from this
cause.

IF the true reason could be got at
the difference between the milk pro-
duction of COW in different seasons,
barring that due to the process of ma
turing. it would quite likely be found
to he the kind Of pasture she had. Il
fact not fully realized perhaps at the
time From the financial standpoint
abundant pasturage, for which one
pays So or 50 for the season, is de-
cidedly better proposition than that
which may be had for Sc, but which
does not furnish sufficient amount of
nutrition above that actually required
to keep the physical organism of the
COW going. Unless the feed in n pas
ture Is exceptionally heavy it ought
not to carry more than two cows for
every three acres. On this account
pasturage that is nominally cheap may
be very expensive.

Doubtless a good many readers Of
these notes will some time this spring
be under necessity of grading up about
their premises and getting lawn
started, and in the doing of this it .s
well to remember two or three simple
things. One is that so far as may be
possible the soil used for top dress
ing should not only be fine and rich.
but should be as free as possible from
weed seeds. When the soil has been
graded up as one desires it should be
foated or rolled until it is firm and
solid. This will give the lawn grass
which Is sown a suitable seed bed and
will keep the plot from being easily
married should any person or stray AMI
nal tread on it. White clover and blue
grass make an excellent lawn in most
sections and should be sown at the rate
OF three parts of blue grass to one Of
clover. Frequent watering in case Of
an insufficient rainfall will be all that
Is needed to give good stand of grass.
The new grass should not be moved
until 1t has made q good growth and
developed a fairly strong root. Oats
are sometimes sown with the grass
seed as sort Of nurse crop. but this is
not necessary if care is exercised in the
PARTICULARS mentioned

FOR NEW CHURCH UNION
-4a4--
Reformed Synod To lake Matter
Up Tomorrow.
pRESBYTERlANS STARTED
Federal Council OF Many sects To
Work Observation-Disclosures On


York, Pa, May 22.--The General
Synod OF the Reformed Church in the
United States occupied nearly the
entire time hearing the report on
Church Federation Rev. DIR. John
H. Prugh. OF Pittsburg, presented IL.
He said the desire for union grows
out OF the conviction that the evan
gelization OF the world depends upon
the ability of the churches to lay
aside some of their differences so inn
|portant to the fathers. The object is
mot to give up the distinctive denomi-
|nationalism, but to emphasize the one
ness OF a common Christ. The report
will be the order OF the day Saturday.
The synod received an overture
from the General Assembly OF the
Presbyterian church asking for clos
err union of the churches, to be either
lorganic or federal. The overture was
referred to a committee.
Rev DR.. Cyrus Cort presented the
report on the interchurch conference
on federation. This movement was
started at the last session OF the
synod.
A council TO be called the Federal
Council Of the Churches OF Christ In
America is authorized, and every de-
nomination except the Catholic
church is named for membership.
Meeting December 2 Next.
Rev. Dr. Elias B. Sanford emphasiz-
ed the report and said there would be
held in Philadelphia, December next,
a meeting OF the Interchurch Confer
ence on Federation, which would be
the most important church body ever
lconvened in America.
There were overtures from the
American Anti-Saloon league asking
he synod to elect representative on
the board OF trustees OF the league.
The overture provoked considerable
debate and was finally laid on the
table until after the report Of the
special committee appointed at the
last session OF the synod. This ques-
ton promises to engage much time.
Foreign Missions Prominent.
Thursday was Foreign Missionary
Day" in the General Synod. The re-
port on foreign missions was presents
ed Wednesday when Rev. Allen r
bartholomew plead for nearly an hour
with the synod to liquidate the debt
OF the Foreign Mission Board.
