something for Farmers,
An agricultural exchange recom-
mends a fresh meat club for farmers,
to consist of eight or ten members,
each one in turn killing an animal and
dividing it among the club. This in-
sures more fresh meat than where each
farmer provides his own supply, and
provides a pleasing variety for the ta
ble.

Evangelizing the World,
A wise exchange remarks that the
oyster and strawberry have each borne
their share in evangelizing the world.
“They have built and furnished more
churches, paid the salaries of more
ministers and helped more heathen
than any other two natural agencies.

Heporis are Flattering
The meetings of the eastern synod of
the Reformed church at Milton, have
been well attended, and there were big
audiences at those held in the interest
of education, foreign
missions, Sunday schools and young
peoples’ societies, and the large church
was filled on each occasion.
The report on the minutes of classes
called forth much discussion. The re-
ports of the Sunday school board and |
the board of publication show their af-
fairs to be in good financial condition,
and the Sanday schools greatly im-
proved. The statistical report shows
an increase over last year of eleven
ministers, one congregation, 1,266 com- |
municants, 127 confirmed, $10,755 for |
benevolence and $54,684 for congrega-
tional purposes, The whole numbers |
are: Ministers, 203; congregations, |
595: communicants, 95,701; confirmed, |
4,712; benevolence, £02,005; congrega- |
tional purposes, $435,553. |
