CHEMICALLY speaking, the shell of
an egg consists chiefly of carbonate
of lime, similar to chalk, with very
small quantity of phosphate of lime
and animal-mucus. The white of
an egg, albumen is without taste or
smell, composed of eight parts wa
ter, fifteen and one-half parts albu-
men, four and one-half parts mueus,
besides giving traces of soda, BEN
zion acid and suIphurated hydrogen
gas. The yolk has an insipid, bland
oily taste. 1t consists chemically
of water, oil, albumen and geIatine.
Now there must be something to
form the she'll Oyster shell heads
the list. Nothing furnishes so easi-
" and successfully the requisite ma
te1al for egg shells as these natu-
raj productions Of the sea. Albu-
men, the white Of the egg, is found
almost in its pure state, in fresh
sweet milk, aud wheat, oats. rye,
buckwheat barley and corn, ia the
order as named. Corn furnishes
with the other grain, oil and gelatlne.

Fast Walking Horses.

One experienced in the manage
ment of horses tells US that any colt
may be taught TO be. a fast walker
by little continued care in hand
ling. 4 fast walk in a horse is the
most valuable gals that training can
acquire. It's valuable in pillow
horse, in a team horse, and particu-
larly so in riding horse.
Some horses will trot along very
well until they come to ascending
ground, when you wish to relieve
him by letting HIM walk up grade !;
be then falls into u slow walk that is
very trying to a drivers patience,
but a we'll trained walker will step
off briskly at the rate of four miles
an hour, and the driver feels that
he has been detained very little by
letting his horse walk up the hill, as
he trots off at his usual trotting
speed, being relieved by the change
of walking up the hill.
Colts should be trained to walk
fast before there IS an attempt
made to improve them IN any other
gait. This may be accomplished by
commencing very young, and lead
ing by your side, urging additional
speed little by little without letting
it break into a trot; but this must
not be continued long at time so as
to worry or tire. One or two short
lessons a day will soon show won
derful Improvement; but after les
sons viii be required to prevent
relapse.-Tribune and Farmer.

THE reporter had the pleasure Of
handling Col. DavY Crockett,s old
gun yesterday. It was in the state
treasurer's Office, where it had been
left by ssCol. Bob" Davy's grand
son, now in the Arkansas senate.
The gun is a long barrelIed. silver
mounted affair, and along the barrel,
in gold letters, reads the inscription
Presented by the young men Of
Philadelphia to Hon. Davy Crockett,
of Tennessee. Near the muzzle, just
back Of the bead, was the coloneps
motto: ssGo Ahead" Many OF the
letters were so worn as to be almost
indistinguishable, and some of them
were gone completely. The gun has
come down from sire to son IN the
Crockett family ever since it was
presented in 1884. To the reporter
ssCoI Bob" who now owns the gun,
said: ssThere is not gun in Arkansas
to-day which will shoot truer. kill
ed hundreds of deer with it, and
think more of it than I can tell. Ny
grandfather left it at home when he
went to Texas, taking with him his
old hint-lock. 1t is a rare old gun
and great curiosity. have been
requested to send it to the exposi-
tian at New Orleans, and shall do so
in a short time.

IT is now high time for those who
contemplate setting out orchards to
M axe their selections. On this mat
ter we have one piece of earnest adj
vice and exhortatlon, and that is, in
brief, do not touch anything from
irresponsible nurserymen. Send to
some wellknown, reliable and consci-
entious dealer, explain to him fully
your location, soil, exposure and
latitude, and then trust his judge
and follow his advice in planting.
Don't buy Russians because they are
Russians, unless you want to expert
ment for the benefit of the public.
There are Russian varieties that are
all right. Trust to your nursery
man to tell you which they are.
There Is no branch of business in
which there is such an opportunity
for swindlipg as this, and the trou-
ble is that you do not know for years
that you are swlndled. Hence the
necessity for dealing with ne man
sor nursery stock unless his charac-
ter is above suspicion. We have an
orchard on one farm that we will
have to cut down and start anew,
because it was planted by a former
owner with worthless truck, just be-
cause it could be had cheap.-Ex.

The Indepedent Farmer.


This independent person, who
owes his existence to tilling the soil,
his ancestors generally in most cases
followed the same pursuit; he uses
the same implements his forefathers
did and relic of the same. In the
true sense of the word, his vocation
is honorable in every respect. Plen-
ty of rain and sunshine Is all he
asks. He is always kind to the needy
and takes things to the bright side
of life; together with health and hap
piness he generally lives to a grand
old age. He begins his labor in early
spring, with the plow and harrow,
to break the sods that have so long
been white with, natures coverlid.
He drops his early seed and covers
the same, and awaits the result,
which is generally speedy one, for
of course he is an experienced hand
as well as a good calculator. While
the seeds are shooting in green. he
finds employment in repairing the
fences, enclosures etc., that have
been damaged during the winter, for
the coming pasture season, which is
soon at hand. This done it is time
to apply the hoe in order to conquer
the eyer-growing weeds. At this point
we will say he has about fifty to six
ty-five poultry of a mixed variety,
and a number of cattle, sheep, etc.,
that are constantly yielding milk,
butter, eggs, etc., that support his
family, with handsome margin for
a rainy day. He barters share of
the produce thus obtained at the
store, and obtains the necessary
groceries, He soon has fodder for
his cattle and makes himself busy
by cutting and serving, which is a
great dellcaey to them. His early
seeds bring him profuse quantity
of large variety of vegetables too
numerous to mention, of which he
generally findsa a large supply for the
market, that brings good prices, as
the produce is always fresh and of
excellent quality. Soon haying
time brings along the middle of
August. He generally EMPLOYS
help in this branch and consumes
about two or three weeks, all of
which he improves. After he has this
important work finished he begins
harvesting the small varieties, as it
is time for them to ripen, and
that occupies his time until
the season of harvesting begins
in earnest, for he always has
crop TO gather, and in order to do
this he must work with unceasing
toll until 1t is finished. he must see
that all is carefully stored in the cell
lar or loft and easy of access. By
this time the house and outbuild-
ings begin to look shabby, and as he
is of course fair carpenter, applies
his hands and puts all in suitable
condition for winter. The various
store-houses, etc., need to be bank
ed, generally with sea-weed if near
the sea-shore, or coarse hay or earth,
to prevent freezing. The wagons
and harness need repairing and gem
eral renovation IS to be done.
Thanksgiving and Christmas soon
come, which he enjoys with his best
chicken or roast pig, reserved for
the occasion. Winter is before him,
which he occupies in the care of his
stock. Nebraska Farmer.

and not onc-third as debasing as the ever
lasting "tongue music" of those gossipers

OF chin music about it. They have never
played in bar-rooms or saloons as Madam

these persons to remain at home-attcnd
to their own domestic affairs and for the
love of peaceful community-keep quiet.
or course, there are such people in every

is greatly overstocked.
