Its itinerating system is admirably adapted to the extent and want of so vast and so new a field. In the year 1S44, a division took place in this body, occasioned by the subject ot slavery. In the year 1650,the Northern branch.called the" Methodist Episcopal Church," had 4,004 ministers in its regular service, and 666,310 members. The "Methodist Episcopal Church South," had 1,643 ministers , and S04, 520 members making in all, 5,646 regular
ministers, or those on the circuit, besides a large number of local ministers, and 1,170,830 members. There are several Email Methodist bodies1. In the year 182:?, there was a secession from the Methodist Episcopal Church, on account ma;nly of the exclusion cf the lay representatives from the annual and general conferences; and the Protestent Methodist Church was or-

Bauer Slaking. It is a very general opinion among dairy women that more butter is obtained from a given quantity of milk when set in pans partly filled than when full. If this be true, it ia well u-or.
thy of being known; if not. a great deal of
useless laoor is expended. A. the question has been often asked me, and I could give no answer, I determined to make the trial. As the resnlt, so far as it proves anything, is of general interest, I send it for insertion in your paper. Such an experiment is valueless unless conducted with extreme cars, and your readers might well doubt its accuracy unless shown that proper pain, were taken. I will therefore give the particulars. On the morning of the 20th of November, the milk was strained all together into a tub. It was then dipped outinto a pail holding five and a half quaru, which was filled carefully to the brim. Fins were takeulhat if any rich milk or cream has risen to the top, it should not be skimmed off, as it were, by dipping. The first pail full was turned into one pan, and the second into two, and to on alternately. There were eleven of the former and twenty-two of the latter. They were placed on the shelves of the milk-room alternately, lest tho difference of position should affect the result. The milk stood till it thickened, which was about tour days. The full pans thickened sooner than the others. A. there was not quite enough cream of each kind for a suitable churning, and that not a particle be lost, considerable milk was taken off in skimming. The cream from the half filled pans was a very little warmer when put into the churn than the other. It could hardly be perceived in the cream, but it came sooner and was a trifle softer to work over. When weighed there was 6 lbs. 7 oz. from the full pans, and 6 lbs. 2 ox. from the pan. half filled. This was an unexpected result but 1 could coneeive of no vitiating cause unless possibly the slight difference of temperature in the cream might affect it. The pans were of the usual siza the
bottoms being about ll j inches in riiam. ter.
i lie mils stood ;a inches deep m the full pans. A pouud of butter was obtained from 3' ; uuarti of milk. ,n To verify this experiment, or to detect mistakes, if any, I repeated it. On the mornings of the 29 tit and 30th of November, 210 qts. of milk were set with the same precautions as beforesix quarts in the full paus and three in the others. This stood nearly a week before skimming. No difference of temperature could be perceived in thecream when put into the churn.
it mere was any diflerence in the butter, that
from the full pans was a trifle softer than the other the reverse of the former experiment From the full pans thiro was obtained 12 lbs 10 oz. of butter, and from the other. 1? lbs. and nearly 1 oz. The difference in this case was about 41 per. cent., in the same as in the former trial. The milk stood in the full pans 2. 7 inches deep. A pound of butter was obtained from S' qts. It is all of three times as much work in olr !m li l.olf C1I...J - .1 . i

Tho reason tiiat the full paus each timo rave

result is owing to unequal evaporation. The amount of cream and ekim-milk is much less
than the new milk. The milk from one full

BENEFITS OFDEKP PLOUGHING VIRTUES OF THE SUBSOIL. Mr. David McVean, of Monro-, Ce., N. Y., in the patent ofl.ee Report for 1S50 '51 says: "When the Oak Openings were first broken up, it was not found advisable to plough very deep, or not more than was neccessarrv to tret
under the roots of grass and brush, which was
about tour inches; but as the land became exhausted at the surface, from continued cultiva
tion, it has been found necessary to deepen the furrow gradually, to seven or eight inches, and even to ten inches; and as the lime and salts be
come exhausted on the surface, a supply is sought in the subsoil for tho wants of the
crops." We commend die aboveextract to the favora ble consideration of our readers. The fact sta
ted in it, that the farmers of Monroe Co., New York, deepen their furrows gradually, with tho
view of procuring supplies of lime and other
salts, when the en face soil becomes exhausted
of them, should teach a lesson to others that may be turned to profitable account. The suc
cess of this practice, fully sustains us id the
opinion we have so olten advanced, that by iu
creasing the depth of ploughing, many of the
mosivaiuauie inorgiuis substauces, or which the surface soil had become exhausted, might be

We have never been able to see what great
advantage would be gained by being able to raise fruit trees from cuttings immersed sim
ply into the Boil, over the common practice of
tirst Inserting the cuttiug into a portion of root,
and known as root grafting the former being
uncertain at best; the latter when well done,
never failing of success. There is however, a method of treating cuttings, not entirely new which has been strongly reccomended in eome
of the European journals, whicti may bo highly
useful iu propagating some kinds of trees and
shrubs; aud under favorable circumstances, may
be adapted to grapes, quiuces, and some otber
sorts of fruit. It copsists simply in bending a
a long cutting into the form of the letter ft inverted, the two limbs being immersed into mellow .oil, and leaving one good bud at the summit, at the surface of the soil. In this way, tho
cut end, instead of becoming the seat ofdrynee
by evaporation from the open pore., is shielded below by contact with the moist earth. A cut surface at the end will throw off moisture several time, faster than the pores through the surface of the bark, and hence tho advantage of the method. If desired, one of the arm. may be cutoff and removed, after the cutting is we ii rooted, or two made of each one. Albany Cultivator. SHE SPAKE IT OUT.
