THE :EGG TRADE.
The ADVANCE stated recently that
the egg crop of Ohio some years yield
ed more money than the wheat crop.
The MankatO Review Of Tuesday says
of the egg house of that city:
The first year that Mrssrs j. II. Long
Il Co. engaged in the egg business at
this city, they paid cut $1,000 for eggs
purchased and shipped to eastern mar
kets. This was in 1879. Last year
three years safterwards-they paid out
$45. 400 for purchases in tie same line

lMnding increase, some days receiving
200 cases and over. A case contains
thirty dozen, and that number conse-
quently represent 1000 dozen or 1900
eggs. They have made Il shipment cf
one car to the east, and have filled Or
ders for northern points.
Few OF our people are aware of the
Importance of the business just started
in Wortl'imgton by L. l.. Mitchell &

This Is no doubt another of the

Col. McGlincy, Secretary of the El-
gin Board Of Trade, writes to the Win
dom Reporter as follows concerning
the creamery business:
Your people must not he led to ex-
pect too much from the dairy business
the first year or two. They cannot
hope to come up to the older sections
in price or quality af goods. but by
carefully learning all the details, and 4
determination tO succeed, they will find
that the COW will prove boom to them
indeed. DO not expect too much the first
year. Work up to the regular standard
gradually, but carefully. The child
must crawl before it walks. If your
farmers increase their product 10 per
cent and the quality cents per pound
for the year, they will have made big
stride toward success.
The Waverly canning factory con-
tracts to pay farmers $55O per ton for
corn, $3.50 per ton for squashes and IS
cents per bushel for tomatoes. 1t
would be bonanza for the farmers of
Dickinson county if canning factory
was established at this place. 1t would
produce q ready market for all kinds of
products raised in the garden. and at
COED prices, too.-Spirit Lake Journal.
Here, too. 1t would greatly increase
the quantity Of vegetables, etc., raised,
give the farmers money for much that
now gees to waste, and help both town
and country.
And now the Episcopal Church which
is by far the most tolerant and liberal
of the So called Christian churches. is
having q case of ''Heresy," on its
hands. Rev. Heber Newton is to be
tried for the liberal views he has been
preaching. heretofore alluded to in the
ADVANCE. We think Mr.. Newton hits
the nail On the head when l,s gives as
the reason for his being oyerhauled
the fact that the ''bread church school
u making alarming inroads on the
young men Of the church," In other
words, the broad church is winning toe
fast, and the narrow church element
want to stop them. It is party fight
after oil, and we suppose, as has beer
the case in every church trial which ha.
occurred for years, that the narrow
shell back bigsted element will hoist
the liberal Jonah overheard.
