will reduce our average of twenty-three

in fact. on some of our farms this is
true to-day. This must be stopped or

Would it not be wise to substitu e
more eggs for meat in our daily diet?
About one-third of the weight of an
egg is solid nutriment. There are no
bones, no tough pieces that have to be
laid aside. A good egg is made up of
ten parts shell, sixty parts white and
thirty parts yolk. The white of an egg
contains sixty-six per cent. water, the
yolk fifty-two per cent. Practically an
egg is animal food, and yet there is
none of the disagreeable work of the
| butcher necessary to obtain it. The
vegetarians of England use eggs freely;
and many of these men are eighty and
ninety years old, and have been re-
markedly freesfrom illness Eggs are
best when cooked four minutes. This
takes away the animal taste so often
sive to some, but does not harden the
white or yolk so as to make them hard
to digest. An egg, if cooked very hard,
is difficult OF digestion, except by those
of stout stomach; such eggs should be
eaten with bread. and masticated very
finely. An egg spread on toast is food
fitfor king-n kings deserve any bet
ter food than anybody else, which is
doubtful. Fried eggs are less whole
some than boiled ones. An egg dropped
into hot water, is not only clean and
handsome, but delicious morsel.
Most people spoil their eggs by adding
pepper and salt. a little sweet butter is
the best dressing. Eggs contain much
phosphorus, which is supposed to be
useful TO those who use their brains
much.-Er
One experienced in the management
of horses tells us that any colt may be
taught to be a fast walker by little
continued care in handling. A fast
walk in a horse is the most valuable
gait that training can acquire. 1t Is
valuable in a pillow horse, in team
horse, and particularly so in driving
horse. Some horses will trot along
very well until they come to ascend
ing ground, when you wish to relieve
him by letting him walk up grade.
He then falls into slow, lazy walk.
that is very trying to the drivers pa
tience, but 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 but;verv little
by letting his horse walk up the hill
as he starts 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 leading
at walk by your side. urging addi-
tional speed little by little without
letting it break into a trot; but this
must not be continued long at time,
so as to weary or tire. One or two
short lessons a day will soon show
improvement, but arteries
sons will be required to prevent a re
apse.
