Priests and the People, one of which
was read by Rev. Fir. A. @ Davis and

Dewey and William Horner were
chosen as wardens and Thos. Carter,
j. Allen Barber, Alexander Calder,
Andrew Barnett, Dwight T. Parker,
Samuel Rowden and John WEIGH were
chosen as vestrymen. Services were
IRE gularly held in private houses and
other places by the Rt. Rev. Jackson
Kemper, the Rev. Stephen Millett, and
Rev. Ebenezer Williams. During
these years Mrs. Horner of Philadel-
phia contributed a considerable sum
of money towards the building of a
church in Lancaster.
This money was loaned out for
number of years to be increased by
accruing interest and by local contri-
buttons. In 1858 the fund had so far
increased that building committee
consisting of Messrs.J. Allen Barber,
Samuel Rowden and Alexander Calder
was appointed but for some reason
they did not succeed in building a
church.
In 1860 Richard Meyer took the
m after in hand and as the result OF
his efforts the funds of the parish were
gotten together and building COM
mittee consisting of Messrs. j. Allen
Barber, Somuel Rowden and Richard
Meyer were appointed and the build
| ing which today stands with consider
able additions was the result of their
| labors.
In 1866 the parish was reorganized
under the name of Emmanuel Parish,
Lancaster, under the direction of Rev..
Chas. ST. Rice, missionary stationed
at Piatteville. At this reorganization
Richard Meyer and Herman B. Fisher
were chosen as wardens and A. R.
Bushnell, VIM. Carter, j! F. Rhodes,
W. P. Dewey, Thos. Langridge, John
F. Thornton, J. H. Hyde and S. F.
elise as vestrymen.
| The first resident rector was the
Rev. Francis Moore, who took charge
of the work in May, 1865, remaining
until 1868. He was succeeded by the
Rev. Jas. MCGOWAN, who in time wss
succeeded by the Rev. John G. Smith.
Then followed Rev. S. S. Burleson,
Rev. Louis Cloak, Rev. S. d. Pulford,
Rev. DR.. S. G.. 1hrall, Rev. H. II. Van
Dusen, Rev. B. T. Bensted, Rev. DR..
E. E. Edwards, Rev. r. Stanley and
the Rev. Geo. F. Potter, who still has
the work in charge.
OF this number the following are
dead: Rev. S. S. Burleson, Rev. Lou
is Cloak, Rev. S. d. Pulford and Rev.
DIR. S. C. Thrall, the last of whom
died while rector at Lancaster.
To the services consequent upon
the observation of the anniversary
were added the convocation of the
c;ergmen belonging to Madison Dis
trict and hence large number OF
clergymen from other parishes were
present.
Thursday morning and Friday
morning were devoted to religious
services and ON Thursday afternoon
and Friday afternoon essays were read
according to program, the reading OF
which was followed by discussion Ct
the subject of the essay.
The failure of Bishop Nicholson to
reach Lancaster before Friday even
ing caused some changes in the pro-
gram for the morning services.
On Thursday Rev. Father j..
nj. Richie of GAINESVILLE was celebrant
at the early service. Mathis were
read by Rev. FIR. DAVIS of Platte
Vile and Rev. F. S. Gray OF Monroe.
At the 1880 service Rev. FL. Potter
acted as celebrant assisted by the
most Rev. Canon Richie as deacon
and Rev. Fir. Harrison of Portage as
subdeacon, and Rev. DR.. L. II. Gilbert
of Darlington preached the sermon

Poultry on the Dairy Farm.

Just why darymen do not make
poultry raising pay is not problem
hard to solve. The reason is lack OF
knowledge relating to poultry raising.
Would any common sense dairyman
start dairying with q 75-pound butter
COW and permit her to hustle for her
living around the hay stack? AS TO
breeds, most people have their fancy;
but all breeds are not equally prolific.
We have a great many inquiries from
men that want to know If it will pay to
raise the standard bred hen on the
farm. There is no place where it will
pay better.
How can we make fowls hustle and
exercise? First, we must not feed too
heavily or make it tco easy for birds
to get their food. We must get them
out of their houses in winter as much
as possible The profit in winter de-
pends on h9ving the'hens well-housed
and giving special care. A house ~
by 20 feet is large enough for so fowls.
Do not permit any of the floor space
to be occupied with nests, roosts or
other fixtures. All OF the floor space
should be reserved for the hens, and
a part of it should be used for
scratching floor. Put in only enough
glass for lighting purposes.
One reason why some people do not
succeed with poultry is that they do
not know how to feed to the best ad-
vantage. Large fowls require differ
ent system of feeding than small ones.
Leghorns are not likely to get overfat.
They will leave corn on the ground
and run after insects; while the larger
breeds will eat the corn that is given
them and stand around awaiting for
more. Chopped clover is good and
should be fed each Gay, and chopped
vegetables will not take its place. On
the average farm there is much that
goes to waste that the fowls can util-
ize, and this helps 10 give profit.-F.

A Hindoo Obituary Notice.

Seth Ram Das, the premier banker
of Patiala, is no more. Poor soul! he
was destined to fall a prey to his own
wounded susceptibilities. A man of
high position AMI of the venerable
age of 10, with an immaculate charac.
ter and an unspotted name, known FOR
his large-heartedness and charity.
Seth Ram Das was a unique figure in
the native society of Patiala, and his,
death has caused gap which can
hardly be filed up. The Seth was ar.
rested by the Patiala police among
those ill-fated Chaudharies who were
dragged by the Durbar to undergo
the iniignities and sufferings of con,
firmed sedition mongers. He felt all
this keenly, and, seeing that the eve
ing of his life was so clouded and
begirt all round with humiliation and
disgrace, his heart sank and eventual
ly failed like a deserted castle which
comes tumbling down to ground for
want of an inmate. As one muses. over
this grand ruin, in vain he seeks to
trace his untimely decay to any dis
ease or infirmity, for the "canker"
had been preying all the while on mis-
vital parts and the poor Seth died of
broken heart.-Lahore Qndia) Tri

As the average mar Is not the ideal
man. so the average COW is not the
ideal COW for dairying AS regards the
COW, the trouble is that she cats and
exists upon a mans iarm doing only
half the work she ought to do, and she
consumes as much food, or perhaps
more, than first class mixers. She
will give about thirty-two hundred
pounds of milk, while she ought to
give as many quarts of buttermilk,
says The Dairy and Creamery. Her
structure is generally the reverse Of
what il should be--her head is too
large and her shoulders wider than her
hips; besides, she has tendency to
put fat upon her caul and not in her
milk. and has ample storage capacity
for everything except milk. She is a
parasite. which. according to Mr..
Gould. "eateth by MONDAY and wasteth
a mans substance by night" AS a
COW she is one that uses health and
vigor TO consume food, and renders as
little return therefor as possible.
The average COW may be good for
other purposes than dalfylns. III mat
ters not that her blood is a mixture
Of the good and bad elements; pro-
per training and careful feeding may
raise her above the average. Keeping
account with dairy cows and employ
ing the most iudicjous and hest tried
methods of feeding and treatment will
improve the milk giving properties Of
the stock.
The average COW cannot be blotted
out, as a race, on short notice. But
much can be done in raising the aver
age and increasing the yield of milk
The average COW and the wooden
plow go we'll together. but even the
home dairy requires better stock than
that.

AS the great value of the cowpea has
become more generally known, its cul-
tivation has increased until it has be-
come a staple crop all over the south
ern half the United States. Each year
the demand for the seed increases and
the price is uniformly high. In view
of these facts, it will no doubt pay
many farmers who have never grown
any for seed to do SO this year.
The cowpea, like the other legumes,
has the ability to furnish the nitro
gen for its own growth, and to store
up mush in the soil beside. This en-
ables it to make large crops on soils
deficient in nitrogen. But it requires
plenty of phosphoric acid and potash
to grow a good crop of seed.

greatest profit came from the use of
