EGGS IN EGG COUNTRIES.

The statistics of the imports Of
eggs to England tell a significant
story. During the summer months
from fifty to eighty tons are landed
every twenty-four hours on the
quays OF Harwich. These come
almost exclusively from North Italy,
by way Of St. Gothard Tunnel The
daily cargoes occasionally amount
to as much as 130 tons, representing
about 100000 eggs, Of which Lon
don is almost the sole destination.
Besides these, from 5O,OOO,0O0 to
60,O0O,0OO of eggs are sent into Eng
land every month from Denmark,
Germany, Belgium and France. The
last country does a thriving export
trade after supplying the egg loving
Parisians with the 100000 dozen
which is their annual consumption.
It may be instructive to note some
of the points on the English coast
at which this foreign produce is dis
charged. Weymouth receives from
100000 to 100000 eggs per
month; Newhaven and Southamp-
ton over 100000 each; London,
100000; Hartlepool, 100000 !;
Grimsby and Newcastle, 5000, 900
each; Leith, 100000. ."aH
In the United States the annual
production Of eggs was valued
in 1878 at no less than $50, 900,
and of poultry sold at $7O,OOO,O0O,
giving us total of $35O,OOO, 900 a
year. But it is shown that if each
person in the United States did but
eat an egg per day-which from
the numbers used in cooking might
be taken as a fair average-this
would amount to anaggregate of over
$3.50, 100000 per annum for eggs
alone. The value of poultry con-
sumed has gone mp now to $l21, ,5OO,-
900. The value of stock carried
over each year is placed at $27,-
100000, and the sale Of fancy fowls
and eggs at s5,OOO,OOO. This gives
total of something like $545,OOO,-
900 as the annual value of the poul-
try production of America in a year.
This sum is no less than $50, 900, 900
more than the value Of an entire
years corn crop, and of $185,0OO,-
900 more than the years value of a
wheat crop.

AN INCORRECT THEORY.

The generally accepted theory
that cow should ''look welr' to be
worth much has often received mer-
tied criticism from the best judges
of what necessarily constitutes a
good COW. Another severe blow
has been administered to this incor-
rect theory, as generally applied,
from the pen of Professor Long, who
says "there are in every herd cows
that are mere manure-makers or
pick-pockets. They have the same
feed that the rest get and yet they
will not give one half the milk. The
COWS are in the herd, yet the trouble
is to pick them out. They are gen.
orally frauds in the fact that they
are the best looking cows of all.
They give a good mess Of milk for a
short time and then they drop almost
out Of the ranks Of milk producers
Very often the case is met with of
a person who places what seems to
be fictitious value on an animal,
and investigation proves it to be
worth the sum asked whilst appear
ance would place it's value at half
the um.-DdkOtd Farmer.

actual representatives of the breed
under consideration can trace close
descent from distinguished animals

probable evidence of an inheritance
Of their merits. A knowledge of
what has been done by fair repre-
sentatives of the various breeds,
together with evidence of the con-
dition as to keep, furnished by accu-
rate records as to kind and quantity
of food consumed, is what is wanted
by the man who seeks to decide
which is the best breed for him. As
to what his circumstances demand,
as we have already shown, he must
be the judge of that himself. If he
is unable to properly appreciate his
own conditions and surroundings,
and intelligently estimate his needs,
he lacks the first essential qualifica-
ton of good farmer.-Nntional

SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

We gather the following figures
from the New Orleans Times Demo-
crat, which keeps close eye on the
progress of the South:
''In 1879 the wealth of the twelve
Southern States was placed at 81, 1884,
208,5O5, while in 1885 it is given as
So, II ,312, ,6O2, an increase of $685.
O4,097, or over AZ per cent. The
most gratifying fact in this showing
is that the growth has been symmet-
rical and not in one line alone. 1t
is as apparant in the better culti-
vation of the soil, the greater diver
sification Of crops and the superior
organization of labor as in the in
crease of manufactures. The result
is shown in the return Of crops and
manufactured products. For the
two seasons of 1880, the twelve
States of the South produced crops
valued at $612 ,278,318, while in the
two seasons of 1S94-95 the value of
the crops in the same States reach
ed $745, ,O50, 600, a gain Of s132,772,-
378. One Of the most satisfactory
evidences Of progress is the increased
value in live stock, the total having
risen in six years from $326,378,414
to $573,7O4,762; and another evil
dence is the decrease in the practice
of raising crops on the credit system,
which entailed SO much loss on the
planter and the laborer. The forest
products of the South have advanced
from $48,319,962 in 1870 to $7O,9O2,-
900 in 1886. Its iron furnaces, which
turned out 270,722 tons six years
ago, now produce 898,000 tons. The
production of the l61 cotton mills
in the twelve Southern States was.
valued at SIC, 1897 ,599 in 1879, while
the 80 mills now in existence pro-
duced $3O,726,25O worth of goods
the past year. The amount of cot
ton seed oil and the output of min
erals have each increased threefold
and the other productions have
advanced in proportion"

SELF-SUCKING COWS.

Considerable trouble is exper-
fenced by stock owners from cows
sucking themselves. A resident of
Of Butler county, Ohio, claims TO
have hit upon means which will
effectually put stop to the practice.
He splits the cows tongue for about
an inch. This seems a cruel pro-
cedure, but he asserts that his cows
thus treated neither lost feed nor
shrank in milk during the few days
the tongue was healing, and that
henceforth he will split the tongue
of every animal that acquires the
troublesome habit.

BEST BREED OF CATTLE.

The question, which is the best
breed :? is a question always likely
to suggest itself to man who pro
poses to turn over a new leaf and
hereafter breed only pure-blood stock
and the answers to his question will
usually vary just in proportion to
the number Of breeders of the va
rious breeds he may address,. The
truth is, it would be nearer the
truth, as we'll as much easier to
answer that they were all best,
as to tell him this or that breed
is the best. The rational way for a
man to put this question would be.
(Which is the best breed for me?'
Putting the question in this way
means that he himself must partly
answer the question. But this is
just what he must do in reference,
for instance, to every principle in
agriculture which depends for it's
value on the wisdom with which it
is applied by each farmer according
to his surroundings, involving means,
soil, climate, market means OF tran
sit, etc. So in the matter of breed,
each must look to what will suit
him and his customers, and bring
him the best and surest return for
the keep he has at command. Too
much stress must not be laid on the
past history of any breed. While
the records of the past may be inter-
esting, and to certain extent IN
structive, they are nevertheless OF

THE STATE AS A PUBLISHER.

We clip the following from the
Franklinton Weekly, referring to
the structures of The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER and the ". O. Farmer on
the State Bulletin:
GAS we understand it, the function
of government is to enforce justice
and order, and within certain bounds,
State development-not competitive
traffic against the citizen. What
is the opinion of the press?
We heartily concur with the FAR
MER. The State has no right to
come into competition with any
branch of business. The Bulletin is
published at nominal subscription
price and thus evades U. S. postal
laws while the cost Of publication is
sustained chiefly by taxation. Of
course the analysis of the depart
ment, together with it's other work
ought to be printed and circulated.
But the Bulletin has stepped beyond
it's proper sphere.
The State ought always to use it's
power to protect and foster the pri-
vate industries within it's borders,
not attempt to crush them under
the iron heel of competition. Along
this line lies the greatest objection
to building railroads, public public
buildings, &C., by convict labor, it
interferes with the rights of free
labor
We will have more to say in the
future as to what the State ought
to do to avoid coming in conflict
with the rights Of it's citizens.

THE CHINESE PEAR.

Mr.. Mish has brought us one of
the handsomest punches of pears
seen anywhere. 1t is called the Chi.
nese pear. 1t was brought from
New York by his father before the
war, and is almost unknown to
nurserymen. 1t often blooms in
January and ripens in September.
1t is especially good for preserving
and jelly making. This bunch was
IL inches in length and had on it 36
very large pears. He has an excel

during the recent disturbance, since
then very large assures have ap-
peared in the side opposite from
those made by the convulsions some
years ago. If this fissure perform

greater part thereof will certainly
fall or sink in. That it is hollow Or
partly SO, has been proven by parties
penetrating a long distance into the

if not very important change in the
