the other hand, if we purpose produc'

is the breed we now have the most
economical producers Of high-class
broilers and roasting chickens, and
are they as good egg producers as 1t
would 10 possible for us to have, and
yet get first quality market poultry?
If it is eggs we want to produce, lay
ing little or no stress upon the market
poultry side, we will in all probability
find thai some of the Mediterranean
breeds, such as the Leghorns, Minorcas,
AnConas and Andelusians, will be the
most economical producers, while, If
it be eggs and market poultry, we will
find American breeds, such as Ply
mouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, Orp-
ingtons, Buckeyes and Wyandottes,
would best suit our requirements.
So, before starting this years incu'
batting, let us decide definitely what
we want to do in the future in the
poultry yards, and let us not be chang
ing breeds from one year to another,
but, after definitely deciding on the
one breed, let us strive to make our
focks as large as we can, and produce
good profits.

RULES IN THE GAME OF LAW
A Thousand Volumes on the Conduct
of a Criminal Trial.

An eminent American Jurlst was
recently the guest Of foreign rep
resentative at a country house in
one of the fashionable colonies of
New England. After dinner in the
library the lawyer noticed a shelf
Of volumes on chess.
"This must be the most compli-
Gated game in the world" he said,
"with so many books of rules"
"By no MEANS" replied the host;
"the most complicated game in the
world is played in your profession"
He indicated the bookshelf.
"There are a dozen volumes on
the rules of chess, but there are a
thousand volumes on the rules for
the conduct of a criminal trial in an
American court"
This was no exaggeration. There
is a rule, with its interminable re-
fnements, for every step in a Grim
inal trial. Sixteen years ago the
state library of Pennsylvania con-
tanned the works Of fifty authorities
on the single subject Of evidence
that is, on what a witness may say
and how he may say it, These
works were often in several volumes
of from 500 to 1000 pages-rough-
ly, a hundred volumes of $4,000
pages on the rules for a single phase
of legal trial.
Since that date a great number Of
volumes have been printed On this
group of rules. Wigmore alone has
written four volumes on evidence,
and he has assembled $4,000 cases
constituting and interpreting their re-
fnements. The Cyclopedia of Law
and Procedure alone contains 1900
pages citing $4,000 cases on this one
subject.
It seems strange that in our long
familiarity with the procedure Of
criminal trials we have not observed
that they degenerated into mere
rule ridden events. The counsel for
the state plays on one side, the at
torney for the prisoner on the 9TH
er, and the Judge is the referee. The
object on the part Of these players
is to win. The interest Of the judge
is 50 to conduct the game that he
will have made no mistake in the
application Of the rules,-Melville

WHICH BREED is THE BEST
Careful Consideration Should Be
Given the Selection.
(By Richard N. Crane, Division Of Ex-
tension, University of Tennessee)

(By Richard n. Crane, Division or Tx
tension, University of Tennessee)
At this season of the year, whether
we be poultry farmers or general farm
ers, we should have at least roughly
made up our mind as to the number
of chickens we will endeavor to raise
this year.
There are several things that we
ought to consider before starting our
incubating operations:
First-Are we entirely satisfied with
the breed of poultry that we now
have in our yards?
Second-Does this breed Of poultry
meet the requirements of our special
purposes?
In other words, if we are ambitious
to produce a large quantity of eggs for
market, and do not care to produce
roasting chickens, we ought to decide
on a breed that will be the most eco
uamieal nroducer. of eggs While on

Dear Brothern:-I take thisA

We commenced the association

debtedness of $58, and we employ
ed brother G. A. Morrison of Glea.
son as our associational missionary
for the incoming year, for one-half
time, at a salary Of $36 per month;
we had personal pledges to the
amount of $50, and church of
$287 so, making a total Of $346.50,
and we have received up to May 1,
1916, SOL, So you can readily see
that we are, at this time, about five
months behind with our mission
airy, Bro. Morrison. There is a
church organization pending in the
Fifth district, ground and part of
the building material having been
promised by one who claims not
hope of salvation, but is anxious
to have a place Of worship in his
community. There are other places
OF restitution in our association
which need the gospel preached in
its purity and the Baptist churches
are commissioned to preach it, but
Bro. Morrison cannot possibly
stay on this field unless the
churches support him and uphold
him with our prayers and earnest
applications.
Will not the pastors and deacons
earnestly and sincerely lay this
matter before their churches con.
stantly until there is sufficient
means collected to keep Bro. Nor
rison busy until every place OF de-
stitutiOn has had ample opportuni.
ty to hear the gospel Of our blessed
Lord and Savior? Brethren, there
is only one way to keep Bro. Nor
