INTERESTING STATISTICS.
The Methodist Episcopal Church South an
tIla Conoreoafiaual Church

The Methodist Episcopal Church South and
the Congregational Church.
A bulletin issued by the Census Office gives
interesting historical, as we'll as statistical in-
formation as to the two great religious bodies
known az the Methodist Episcopal Church
South and the Congregationalists.
The Methodist Episcopal Church South was
organized at convention held in Louisville,
KY, in 1916. The cause of separation was the
slavery question. The somewhat indefinite
line of division between the North and South
agreed upon in the plan of separation was not
adhered to by both sides. During the late war
the Northern Church followed the Northern
armies in the South, and after the restoration
Of peace gradually established churches all
over the South. The Southern Church has
not extended itself far to the northward,
except on the Pacific Coast where it has Con-
ferences including, besides California, the
States of Oregon, Washington Idaho. and Mon.
tana. 1t also has congregations in Indiana and
Illinois. Il is the strongest in Texas, where its
membership is about 10000: Georgia comes
next with $4,000; Tennessee third, 10000;
North Carolina fourth, l14,00o, and Alabama
fifth. with $4,000.
The Southern Church suffered much moro
heavily than the Northern Church during the

I thought that perhaps short report Of
crops in this part of Kansas would be of in
terest. Corn will make little over a half
crop. Oats are making from 25 to 20 bushels
per acre. and wheat from 10 to 81 bushels per
acre. The potato crop will be short. Fruit is
almost an entire failure. There will be a few
apples, and no peaches or plums. There will
be good many grapes.-J. 7. IDEN, Co. Il, 7th

NOTES.


Poultry-keepers might wish that they could
cross their fowl with the white ant that ID
credited with laying 400 eggs in day and
900 in the laying season; but as that lasts
only one month, the eggs would be very cheap
for that time, aud there would be none when
the price was high. The queen bee is said by
some authorities to lay from 10000 to $4,000
eggs in year, while others say from 5000 to
6000 is the limit.
1t is time now to begin to increase the feed
for the turkeys and chickens that are destined
for the Thanksgiving market. It has been
said that three pounds of corn would grow one
pound of turkey This may be exaggerated
some, and we think it would come nearer to
making pound of growth on thrifty chicken
but we believe that if fed literally, the growth
of poultry will doubly pay for it, and it is the
last pound that makes the growth, too.
1t has been said that the first thing REQUESTS
to make good man was good mother, and
the same thing is true in regard to producing q
good animal. While the father may give blood
and breeding, the mother must furnish nutri-
ton and constitution, which largely, but not
entirely. depend upon that, and the best
bred animal cannot thrive without being well
nurtured, both before and after birth. 1t il
easier to supply any lack in this respect after
birth than before, but when the young exceed
one, as in the case of the SOW, the mother de-
cides results to greater extent than either
father OF the care after birth.-American Guilt
rdtOr.
In many cases 1t will pay to allow the Sec
ond growth of clover to mature seed.
s. II. Dawes, Harrison. informs Us that hii
crop of plums this year will amount to between
rs and 100 bushels. High culture does it. He
also states that he sold 55 bushels of strawber-
ries. grown ON half acre. No account was
made of the large quantity picked and used in
the family, Mr. Dawes saws there is no doubt
but 100 bushels grew on the 6eld.-Mains Far
naer.
The foundation for all improved breeds OF
livestock rests On an abundance of palatable,
nutritious food and without this there is no
forward progress. The old claim sometimes yet
advanced, that the breed is in the swill pal"
is like many other old sayings. half true. OF
late we have tied ourselves too much to that
other saying that like begets like" and held
to pedigrees and the skill of the breeder, while
ignoring the feed bin and skill of the FEEDER
