The revolution was scarcely over, but
even then In that quiet corner of Mas
sachusetts the anti-slavery spirit was
stirring and it's first result was to pre-
cipitate a violent church quarrel. Dea-
con Colman had scruples against slav-
cry and he expressed them with vigor
and not always with entire respect for
his slave-owning pastor. He was sus-
pended; there were meetings, discus
sions, appeals and denunciations and
he so far softened as to admit while
yet maintaining his principles, that he
had urged them with undue vehe-
mence and asperity." He was then re-
stored to the church ana his office Of

A writer in the Scientific American
declares that he etfectually put an end
to the depreciation of hawks in hiss
poultry yard by fastening an old scythe,.
ground to razor edge, with the sharp
end down, on a high pole set in the
edge of field near his yards. The
hawks, as is their habit, lit on the
scythe, grasping it with their claws,
with the result that their feet were
badly cut This angered them and they
attacked the scythe, literally tooth and
toenail, and of course got the worst of
it Every hawk that came along met
with like reception and within az
short time they were either killed or
driven away.

Improving Corn.

Realizing that the improvement OK
corn is matter of concern to every
agricultural practitioner, because OF the
wide adaptability and general cultiva-'
ton of the cereal, the Virginia Agrlcul-'
tur.ll Experiment Station has publish
ed in a bulletin Of nearly 100 pages
the results of experiments in that field.
In a general Introduction the bulletin
says:
investigations show very clearly
that the corn plant is quickly affected
by the environment in which II Is
placed and yields readily to selection,
so that the way for Improvement Isl
open to all who will make systematic
study of this important crop. The fact
that corn crosses so easily has resulted
in the development of numberless So
called varieties or strains. and 1t isN
manifcstely impossible to effect perma-'
nent improvement in any Of these with
out first understanding their individual
peculiarities and the good and baG
points possessed by each.
Conservation leans to the BELIEF that
the indiscriminate crossing of plants
without first studying them carefully
and eliminating the hundreds of unde--
sirable varieties and the thousands Of
useless individuals is waste Of time
and that more permanent good can be-
effected by making basic study of va
rieties, rejecting all those that do not
reach definite standard, and then pro-
ceeding to Systematically improve
those that seem worthy Of extended
| consideration"

Flowing Manure Under,

When coarse stable manure is plow-
ed under and there is moisture enough
in the soil and manure to cause it's
fermentation, it Immediately begins to
furnish food for crops. 1t does this
all the better in early spring, as the
manure under the furrow holds it I'D
and admits warm air from above
which is just what is required to cause
active fermentation. The release of
ammonia as the manure ferments en-
riches all the soil above it, as the con-
slant tendency to warm air is to rise.
Hence there is good reason for apply
ing manure as top dressing during the
winter on land that is to be plowed or
hoed for crops in the spring.
