man, and they had an extended joint
debate with Brigham Young and
Elder Pratt, concerning the Mormon
religion, Bishop Newman was one of
the most eloquent orators of the
Methodist church. He and DR.. Sun
derland upheld the claim that Chris
tianity needed no improvement by
latter-day revelation, and that Nor
monism was without divine authority.
The debate was universally published
and commented upon not only by the
newspapers of this country, but by
the leading publications of Europe.
Ten years ago DIR. Sunderland am
nounced to his congregation that he
could not retain his position because
of advancing years and consequent
infirmities. After repeated requests
that he might be relieved os the
duties which he could not successful
ly perform, his congregation called
Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, who as
sumed the pastorate with the UNDER
standing that DR.. Sunderland should
occupy the pulpit as often as health

Dr. Sunderland permitted the use of
his church for lecture by Frederick
Douglass, the celebrated colored lead
er and orator. Several families left
the church on that account, for race
feeling ran high, and Lincoln's
emancipation proclamation was more
popular everywhere else in the north
than in the national capital. Many
families worshiping there were or
had been slave owners, and they did
not approve of a negro in their pull
pit, even though he were conceded to
be man of superior intellectual
force and marvellous requirements. 1t
is not likely that any other preacher
in Washington at that time could
have retained his charge under such
circumstances. But the people of the
First church indorsed what DIR. Sun
derland had done. Several of the
families who felt greatly aggrieved
afterwards came back to the church

troversialist. In 1872 he went to Salt

Reports have it that Italian eggs
are now being quite extensively ex-
ported without the shells. Alright
vessels are used, in each OF which are
packed 1000 eggs without shells
Great care has 70 be exercised to have
the eggs fresh at time Of breaking, as
Il is evident that a single bad egx
would destroy the whole mass in any
vessel. This method OF packing re-
moves the danger Of breakage.
Litter for scratching sheds may be
made Of cheap hay or straw. Some
use dry leaves. but they are somewhat
difficult TO handle and break up easily.
Some farmers accomplish the same end
by feeding their hens sheaf grain. and
doubtless this is a good thing to DO.
especially in the case Of sheaf oats.
But where the thrashing has been done
the practice Of scattering the grain in
litter is a good one and induces exef-
else.
When fowls have the run Of the
farm they exercise principally by walk
ing and scratching Even then the
hens spend much Of their time ia
places where they fnd scratching easy.
That they win DO the same thing more
readily in confinement is obvious. 4
the opportunity be given them. That
this opportunity should Be supplied IS
taught by the experience Of every man
that makes poultry raising a business
and a success. Scratching has been
termed the vice OF the hen. and Il ccr-
tainly takes on this form when the a.
tempt is made 10 raise her and garden
truck on the same plot Of ground. This
so-calied vice may be turned 20 great
advantage IN the scratching yard. and
this has been done by thousands thar

The question is very frequently
asked. What is tbs best breed OF
fowls?" That depends, OF course, upon
the market demand or other definite
object OF the poultryman-a point
which the questioner often omits. Il
should be borne in mind that "a breed
signifies the average OF the values OF
the individual animals composing the
group so designated"
In the development at the Rhode Is
land college of a special school OF in
struction in poultry culture. several
pens Of fowls typical Of the leading
breeds and varieties have been kept
for Illustration and comparison. A
study Of these birds by students. In
structors and experimenters from sew
eral points OF view serves TO empha-
size the conclusion that there is far
more difference disc0verable between
individual fowls OF any breed than
there is between distinct breeds. In
dividuality and the influence Of en-
vironment have to be constantly con
sidered. However much the breeder
Of hne fowls may CLEAN from Others
he cannot afford to neglect the most in
tense study Of his own fowls and Of the
conditions Which relate TO their prac-
teal management There Is room for
great improvement among the fowls
OF each established breed and It IS by
the study Of Individual birds that the
greatest progress win be made in the
proper selecuon Of breeders.
