Congregational Meeting and Social.

At a congregational meeting
last Monday evening in the Re-
formed church, the reports from
the three charges showed that
over 81, 200 had been contributed
during the past year. Both pas
tor and members are being con-
graduated for the excellent show
ing, not only in financial matters
but in work Of all the depart
ments. Rev. j. L. Yearick's
three charges are: McConnells-
burg, Big Cove Tannery, and
Little Cove. After the business
meeting adjourned a social was
held, and a nice little supper SER
we'd in the church. During the
short time Rev. Yearick and his
most excellent wife have been a.
mong us they have gained the
esteem of a very wide circle of
friends, not only in their own
church but wherever they have
gone. In the absence of a pas
tor, the Presbyterians frequently
join as a congregation in the Re-
formed services, and, in turn,
theReformed congregation meets
the Presbyterians in the latter's
church-Mr. Yearick preaching
to both. A very happy relation
ship is, in this manner, being es-
tablished between the two de-
nominations.

Make a Lime Spreader.

There is a lot of bright young
men in the County who can ham
die tools to make many pieces of
machinery that will work and
save labor and money. We sug-
gest that some of them try their
hand at making a lime spreader
according to the following hints.
Get pair of old mower wheels
and connect them with an iron
axle as long as you wish-say
eight or ten feet; put a V shaped
hopper on the axle as long as
will work between the wheels.
Have the axle fast to one wheel
so that the axle will revolve and
make a feed" like in grain
drill. Have small holes in the
bottom of the hopper to take the
place of the spouts on a grain
drill and make a slide with cor
responding holes so that holes in
the hopper can be closed at will.
Fasten this machine to the back
end of your farm wagon as a
trailer, and as close to the wag-
on as it will run. Load your
wagon with Stacked lime and as
fast as the lime feeds out of the
hopper fill it from the wagon.
Do not make both wheels fast
on the axle, as one of them must
be loose in order to accommodate
itself in turning corners.
Lime is too costly in this coun-
ty to waste it by putting out in
little piles to slack and ten to
fifteen bushels to the acre is too
small amount to spread evenly
with a shovel. When lime is put
out in little piles to slack and too
much water falls on it before be-
ing spread, the lime will get hard
and is then useless as a sweeten-
ing agent. Lime in the form of
dust is the only form available
for soil, as lime must be dissolv-
ed by moisture at the moment OF
action.
