SITE OF METHOD|sM
Central Hall in London Cost
Five Million Dollars.
Location of Beautiful Buildings Con-
pected With Stirring Events OF
ENGLISH History-Funds Raised
by Contribution.

London.-It is characteristic of the
spirit of John Wesley, who made his
ringing message not to parish, but
10 a world that in these days his fol-
lowers-"the people called Method
ists'-should have chosen a site alike
SO historical and so commanding as
that on which the new Central hall
and Conventional buildings have been
reared at Westminster.
Here it was that Edward v. was
"born in sorrow and baptized like a
poor mans child" in 1470, and from
here. too, 10 years later, his mother.
Queen Elizabeth Woodville, sitting
"alone believe on the rushes all DESC
lat eand dismayde," saw him go out
with his brother to the Tower to that
pathetic of deaths by murder. With
in a stones throw is st. Stephens

knights of Rufus tramped, and where
King Charles !. stood on his trial be-
fore those who knew not what true
freedom meant Above all, the build
ing stands under the very shadow of
the noble abbey, the nations Mother
church.
Wesleyans the world over are proud
of the vast pile and the position it
occupies. It's inception goes back
to the conference of 1898, when it was
decided to endeavor to raise a twen-
tieth century fund of million gum
cas-. When it is stated that the total
membership of the church in this
country was considered less than a
million, including children, it will
be realized that it was great deal to
ask.
The period for giving extended orig
inally from January /, 1899, to Janu-
airy /, 1901, but it was found neces-
sary to prolong it, and it was not I'M
til 1904 was well advanced that the
last gift was received In that time
holidays were cheerfully foregone,
clothes were patched and mended,
walking was substituted for omnibus
or car rides, and little Injuries of to-
bacco, sugar and butter were given
up.
Out of the million guineas some
thing like one-foGrth million pounds
was used for the purchase of the site.
Upon this have risen two blocks. In

COTTON FEATURES IN SOUTH
Producing States Spin More Bales
Than All Others Combined,
According to Statistics.

The report of the census bureau
showing that during the year ending
August 81 the cotton-growing states
spun in their mills more bales OF cot
ton than all other states combined,
marks an important epoch in the in
dustrial revolution that has been go
ing on ever since the close of the
war. 1t is further noted that during
the year the number of active spindles
in the south increased by almost half
a million. The exact figures are q,
1852 bales used in the south, as
against 2,665,049 used in the rest OF
the country; 11,5S5,S39 spindles active
in the south this year, against 1884
623 in 1911.
The southwark shifting of the cot
ton industry is due in a measure to
the enterprise of the people of that
section, but mainly to the economic
law that of later years has almost
everywhere been carrying the mill to
the field of raw material instead OF
taking the material to the mill. The
iron and steel industry long ago shift
ed to states where coal and iron.
abound. Wheat and lumber are being
worked up nearer the fields and for
ests where they grow. There remains,
however, long distance to be
traversed before the revolution is
complete and all raw material is put
into finished fabrics at home Thus
the entire amount of cotton worked
up in the United States as a whole
during the year under review was but
5,637671 bales, while the total crop
was 17,673,294. There is evidently
large room for southern manufacture

measure of the raw material in this
respect alone.

FALL PAsTURlNG OF WHEAT
Grazing Stock on Fields In Autumn ls
Beneficial to Crop In Some
Instances.
By r. G. wEATHERsroNE)

(By II. u. w Ell
Wheat is crop that needs much
consideration if we wish to obtain the
best results possible. There are GER
tain times in the year when it would
be great mistake to pasture wheat
and there are certain fields that ought
not to be pastured; but there are also
some instances when wheat can be
pastured TO great advantage. OF
course the conditions must justify the
proceeding.
Early wheat as rule can be pas
tured quite hard in the fall, providing
all conditions are favorable. OF course
it would be poor policy to pasture 1t
when the season was wet and the
ground muddy, as the tramping of
stock on such land would puddle the
soil so badly that the entire crop
might be ruined, and perhaps the soil
ALSO
Should the soil be very dry, on the
other hand, the stock is very ant to
dig up much of the wheat, as the roots
will not have firm hold in the loose
soil.
Land that has been very trashy and
plowed late in the season is actually
benefited by judicious pasturing. pro.
viding everything else is favorable;
for the stock will pack the ground
down firm, thus closing the large air
spaces underneath, and at the same
time keep dust mulch on the sur
face, which is very desirable. If such
ground were left unpastured the whear
would very likely freeze out if the
winter should prove severe, owing to
the fact that the trash lying between
the furrow slice and the subsoit
causes large air spaces, which are
very detrimental to the root system
AS soon as the winter breaks up ir
the spring the stock should be kent
off the wheat, for it is at this time
that the wheat must make a good
start in order to cover the ground he
fore the weeds get a start. Snrina
pasturing wheat usually decreases tbs
grain yield greatly and should thera
fore be avoided.
Horses are much harder on wbo.A
than are cattle, for they push tbe
loose soil away from the plants ana
nip them off close to the roots wbiIe
cattle pull off only that which tbav
can easily get hold of.
