The suggestion cannot be too ire
quently offered to farmers as to the ex-
Pediency and profitableness Of raising
more poultry. The business, II pro-
perry conducted, would become one of
the most lucrative branches upOn tho

ought 70 be known to all American far
mers the extent to which the business
IS prosecuted in France, where from a.
careful estimate, it is found that the
annual sales OF poultry and eggs last
year amounted 70 between 50 and 90
millions Of dollars, which would. il
equally divided among the entire poD-
uiation, give between two and three
dollars. When it is considered that

wonder is that it is not prosecuted "a

vitality of clover seed

The question is sometimes asked
whether clover seed two years old is
good To SOW. At this age il will always
look somewhat faded; but il it has been
properly kept, there need be no fear
about every seed growing, If given a
fair chance. We have seen two-year-
old seed scattered accidentally on the
snow in early spring, and coming up as
thick as the hair on dog. II left In
the ground, by being buried to0 deeply.
clover seed will often hold it's vitality
many years. In localities where clover
seed Is grown, more or less Of the seed
IS lost in harvesting. If the clover seed
stubble is plowed and sown with wheas.
that which dropped on the surface will
not grow the next spring, as it is buried
TOO deeply. But it will come up In
subsequent plowings for many years

While there 10 no desire on the part OF

contest. the face of the returns show that
he Is elected justice Of the peace over g..

ing for Mr.. 8. G. Cooke intended to vote
for 8. F. Cooke. the mistake. which is
wholly chsrgeable to the Union, gives
Mr.. Mediil more votes than either s. F.
Cooke or 8. c. Cooke.
The Union accuses the ARaus Of
plagiarism In applying the word ma
sheen" to the clique that nominated Nc
Conochie for mayor, asserting that the
word was taken from the Chicago Herald
The accusation is false and the term, liar,
is none too severe for the accuser. but
the Chicago Herald did use the word
''masheen" as applied to the political
ring that was struggling for ascendency
In Chicago. Both Rock Island and Chi
cago were fighting political ''masheens"
this year and the only difference In the
result is, that Chicago, which is bigger
city, did better than Rock Island.

A Mastery Effort.

Bishop John P. Newman, D. D., of
the Methodist church, preached grand
sermon at the First M. E. church last
evening before a very large congregati on
composed of members from the churches
OF Davenport and Moline. as we'll as
Rock Island. The bishops theme was
Concentrated Efforts" and the dis
course was an eloquent and mastery
one.
In the afternoon the bishop received
the official members Of the church, and
took occasion to encourage the determis
nation to build new church, and urged
that every effort BE- put forward to reach
such ends.
The bishop has been great traveller in
his labors for the Master. He believes
the world can be saved, not by faith
alone. but by lsbor in the upbuilding of
christians upon earth. He, therefore,
has great confidence in the outcome of
missionary labor. He says the world has
had many surprises. aud the conquest of
it for Christ will be one of them for the
future historian to record. He does not
estimate the triunlphs of christianity by
arithmetical calculations. 1t has a
broader and deeper foundation and great
er permeating effect than the mere state
ment that the world has 1000, 000 900
inhabitants and 100000 are under chris
tian influences would seem TO convey.
The bishop gives many interesting in
cidents of bis obs ervations in his travels
around the world TO show why he had not
merely faith but zeal in the missions
airy cause
