men do not place more emphasis upon
poultry as a source of income.
THE poultry business require no large
amount of capital, and labor upon the
farm that would otherwise be idle can
very largely be utilized in caring for it,
The same families that take the dairy
products win be only too glad to get the
poultry supplies, so that there is no adj
ditional expense in marketing the sup
plies Every hen properly cared for can
be expected to pay the owner at least one
dollar net per year in eggs, and consider
able additional either in form of eggs or
of chickens raised for sale. Considerable
poultry can be kept largely upon what
would otherwise be wastes of the dairy
business. Butter milk or skim milk fed to
hens will pay better than used any other
way with which l am acquainted. There
are wastes about the dairy stable which
cannot be utilized in any way as effec-
lively as by poultry, which pick up the
lost grain, whether in the Manager or in
the manure pile, and convert It into profit.
Poultry properly handled gives the
farmer certain and ample income at the
time of the year when dairymen are gen.
orally most anxious to have the deficien-
cies of the dairy made good and there is
never time in the year when poultry
products may not find a fair market
Much of the mixed food for dairy cat
tie is admirably adapted for feeding poul-
try, little additional building is necessa-
~; no additional help is required.

varieties to the all-purpose fowl. or fowl

producers more profitable than the meat
producers and that is question of taste.
and the point is not to keep any fowls
upon the farm that do not pay a profit to
the owner. The man who expects TO Sc
cure both qualities in a chicken is like
the man who wants a good beef and a

SALEM, Ind, Sept 2S.-Judge Voyles,
who had the celebrated Mount Tabor
Church trial under advisement has made
his decision defining the rights of the two
branches of the church.
The church is situated near Campbells-
burg. this county. The trial has caused
considerable excitement and made a great

bell denomination, and has moved along

self the Church of Christ" objected to
the manner in which the Christians carried
on their meetings. The congregation had
always met on the third Lords day during
each month, but the fall of 1896 found trou-
BILE brewing and on Dec. 81 of that year
an injunction was filed by the Christian
Church against that portion calling itself
the Church of Christ in the Circuit court,
restraining the defendants from using the
building, claiming that they had violated
the original creed of the church.
Judge Voyles decides that the plaintiffs
are entitled to the exclusive possession of
the property during the latter half of each
month, and defendants should be enjoined
during such time from using the church.
Plaintiffs have not the right or control of
possession of the church during the first
half of each month. but during that time
defendants may have the property for re-
ligious worship without let or hndrance.
In the year 1876 land donated the
trustees of the Church of Christ" and
huge log house was erected and used
for nearly thirty years, when new real es
tate was purchased and more appropriate
house of worship was built and decided to
the trustees of the Christian Church. The
trustees elected in 1873 served until the fall
Of 1896, and their certificates of election
showed they were elected as trustees of the
Church of Christ"
The attorneys have given notice that the
case will be carried to the Supreme Court.
Although the decision is not satisfactory, it
IS generally believed that the decision of
the lower court will be affirmed. The de-
cision is very important, as the same state
of feeling exists in many other branches
of the Christian Church, and there is a
probability that other suits will follow.
