(Natloral Crop Improvement Service.) THE HEN 6bcu!d be our national emblem Instead of the eagle. Sha is the. most patriotic citizen e tare, furnishing a large portion of our food and revenue. This, in spits of H it abuse -which -we heap upon her. We ta&a little care of her and let ker huetle for her own living. This lii the real cause why eggs and fried chicken are high. The cost of feed is not the reason -why so many poultrymen fill. On a proper diet a broiler caa be raised to -weigh one and a quarter pounds in six weeks which. In almost any market, -will bring a dollar or mere. In eiht months a properly fed and bred capon -will welh twelve and a half pounds and yet the average is probably leas than half. To succeed in poultry, you must cull oot your unprofitable birds and feed the iurrlTora for eggs and meat. Tho most successful poultrymen do not attempt to raise their own feed, but will bay by-product feeds which hare een scientifically blended by long experi

ence. These feeCs contain what the chicken needs, preventing overfeeding or undernourishment of any of the necessary nutrients. In no other industry has there been so much literature written. Every poultry-feed manufacturer issues a hand-book which, if faithfully followed, will not fail to bring results. Every agricultural college and the U. S. Government can give you all the necessary information. Keep dry mash feed always before them in a protected vessel, giving scratch feed only a short time before they go to roost Suburbanites and those who have limited space can successfully raise chickens if they -will follow the rules and buy the proper feeds. A hen is aa egg-making machine and if fed properly she will grind out eggs without fail. The trouble with most of us Is that we are either too lazy or we want to get something for nothing end w allow poor Biddy to shift for herself.

SHORT HISTORICAL j SKETCH

X convsntion of nearly 400 Lutheran pastors, teachers, professors and laydelegates will meet In St. John's rhurch, corner Jk. and Third streets, next "Wednesday morning, the sessions to continuefor a week. Th gentlemen present represent the Lutheran congregations in Indiana. Ohio, and Kentucky which are affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri. Ohio, and other states, generally eaKed the "Missouri Synod." A brief survey of the history of this synod Is highly Interesting; and instructive, because of St3

miraculous growth after an inconspicuous beginning la the former half of the past century. It was a most curious spectacle that presented itself to the 15.000 inhabitants of St. Louis, Mo, when In January and February. 1539. four Fiaraboat. bound from Xew Orleans to St. Louis, reached their destination, brlngrUf with them about 750 immigrants, Wn, women and children. Such a sight Kd probably never been witnessed in St. Louis before. The question would naturally arise: "Whence comj these foreigner, and what may be the object of their coming? Their language, dress Mtd bearing betokened them to be Germans, and thslr object eidsntly was to find homes for themselves and their f-JuVrea. Why had they left their count-y, the language of which they understood, and had come to find homes in a land of the language and customs of which they knew nothing? Note a feature, which distinguished these immigrants from thousands of others that had landed on our shores. These wanderers of 1S3J were not refugees from justice. There was no blot or stain upon their character or honor. Neither had they been forcibly compelled to leave their Fatherland, as had the Salzburg colonists in 1732. Nor had they left their old homes tn order to find new fields to accumulate wealth or worldly riches; for quite a numbnr of them had left positions that yielded them honor and wealth, and station among their people. "What, then, could have been their object In crossing the storm-swept Atlantic? In order to properly understand ths cause of this German immigration one must recall the state of affairs In the Lutheran church In Germany at that time. Infidelity and rationalism swept over Europe, and It seemed as If the Lutheran church for tho last time made her funeral Tltes. In addition to tW the Lutheran church in Germany yrt-m entranced in the arms of the civil law. with no prospect of ever being delivered from this unnatural embrace. Khe was held a captive In her own horn. Such was the state of affairs In Grerpiany during the first half of the nineteenth century. uca Lutherans, therefore, as cherls!ted the Gospel doctrine as the greatest of treasures longed to throw off the shackles th.it link.d their beloved church to tV- c;ate in a nust un'vMy allii-nce. But how was this t, be accomplished? The Teuton immigrants who arrived here In 1S3D came to America with the purpose of solving: this problem. Our country, embracing in its constitution tho beautiful principle thst "no law respecting the establishment Of Teliglon, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, shall be made by congress" seemed to them to bo the "Dorado" where the Lutheran church might Terlvs in her original beauty and erandeur. And thus, as had two centuries before them ths Pilgrim fathers, the Saxon colonists quenched the fires on the hearthstones of their forefathers, and In due time arrived on the hospitab'e shores of America. Under the leadership of Rev. C. F. "W. TCalther. one of their pastors, they reolvsd to spread the truth to the best cf their ability. In ordor to reach the great multitudes coming to this vast country, and to bring them the good tidings, it became necessary to send forth men well prepared to preach the Gospel. These immigrants of 1833 wre well aware of this and. accordingly, their history tolls that, no sooner had they established congregations of their own in St. Louis and Terry county, Mo than they set about to erect their first "theological seminary," a rude log cabin with but one door and two windows, in the wilds of Perry county. Ho. Less than five years later. In 1S44, Pastor Walther, aided by his congregation, began to publish a bi-weekly religious paper, "Dcr Lutheraner." which became the means of furthering the acquaintance between Lutherans in different states of the Union. In the spring of 1S47 twelve Lutheran pastors and congregations assembled In ChlX and organized the Missouri Synod, i

a synod of merely advisory powers. Like the biblical "grain of mustard seed," growing up and shooting out great branches, the Missouri Synod has grown wonderfully, as Is evidenced by the following statistics. During the first ten years, 1S47 to 1S5T, the increase was 134 preachers and teachers, and SO congregations. The second ten years, 1837 tin 1887, showed a gain cf 135 rreachers. 15" teachers and 123 congregations. Between 1S67 and 1S77 the net increase was 111 preachers. S10 teachers and 179 congregations. The fourth decade of years. 1S77 to 18S7. the synod increased by 350 preachers, 14o teachers and 256 congregations; while tha last decade of the first half century showed a gain of .543 preachers, 135 teachers and 332 congregations. January 1. 1S97, after fifty years of existence, the synod numbered 1 527 pastors and professors. 755 teachers and 1.010 congregations. Since the celebration of her golden jubilee twenty years have passed and the Missouri Synod has steadily kept on growing. At

! present her roster shows 2, SCO pastors.

1.150 gentlemen teachers and S25 lady teachers. 1.001.000 souls. 95.000 pupils in the parish schools and 92,000 in the Sunday schools. There are 14 institutions of higher learning, colleges, seminaries, normal schools, etc., with 1.900 students who are taught by 100 professor And if one should ask these people, scattered broadcast over the United States from Maine to California, from the Lakes to tha Gulf, but all united by the band of one faith: "What is the secret of your success?" they, as with one accord, give all honor and glory to God alone.
