hold it to the eye and hold an egg to
the other end of it, looking through
the egg toward the sun or a lamp.
Every stage of incubation may be
noted in this way, and the egg saved
by this process and used as food for
chicks will abundantly pay for all the
trouble. A still more valuable con
| sideration is the fact that when q half
dozen hens are set at once, the fertile
eggs may be put into less number of
nests and fresh eggs may be placed
under the hens rendered idle by the
removal of the unfertile eggs and the
consolidation of the fertile ones.
BUrTBR FRAUDS
The manufacture and sale of butter
inc should he prohibited for the same
reason that we prohibit the sale of
tainted meat, diseased pork, or explo-
sive oils, that they are injurious to
health and destructive of lite. If a.
man was putting up strychnine for
saleratus, or gunpowder for fire kin
'dler, we would not say: "If any one
wants to buy strychnine for saleratus
or gunpowder for fire kinder, there
can be no law TO prevent him doing
So" Yet this is precisely what our
courts do say when they declare the
anconstitutionality of laws prohibiting
the sale of compounds less speedy, but
mot less dangerous to human life, than
those named above.
But we must not blame the courts
for these decisions; for, so far as we
have seen, actual proof of the danger
GUS character of these butter frauds has
never been submitted to any court,
consequently all of them have had TO
pass on the main question of prohibit
ing the manufacture of an article of
commerce which, so far as the court
can take cognizance, is as harmless as
flour.

TESTING EGGS.

AT this season of the year, says the
journal of Agriculture, everybody
should have an egg tester. All eggs
should be tested by some means Eggs
that are unfertile will be easily distin.
guished from the fertile ones in three
or four days after setting, in fact, an
expert may detect them on the second
day.
In France it is the practice to exam
inc OF test the eggs after the hen has
been on them two days, and if they
prove unfertile they are used on the
table. In this country almost every
one feeds the young chicks boiled eggs
the first two or three days Of their ex-
istence, and for this purpose eggs thai
have been set on six or eight days arc
equally as valuable as fresh ones.
Now for cheap tester, take a heavy
piece of brown paper, wrap it around a
stick, paste it fast all along, draw the
stick out and you have one that will
distinguish between fertile and unfer
tile eggs when set upon five or six
days.
To use the tester, we have but tc

Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1886-06-25
Quite a Difference.

The Albany News says that ''the Savan-
nah MORNING NEWS censures Maj. Bacon
for allowing DR.. FELTON, to speak in this
canvass, basing its objections on the
ground that DIR. FELTON, has not always in
the past trained with the party, but has
no word of censure for DR.. Miller, Col.
Albert Cox, Col. Hulsey and Reuben
Arnold"
From what the Albany News says we
infer that it wants TO be understood as
meaning that the Savannah News ought
not to insist that Maj. Bacon shall decline
the support OF DR.. FELTON, unless it insists
that Gen. Gordon shall decline to recog-
nize DIR. Miller, Col. Albert Cox, Col. HUI
sey and Reuben Arnold as among his sup
porters.
AS a matter of fact, we have not paid
much attention to the doings and sayings
OF Messrs. Miller, Cox, Hulsey and Ar
mold. They are doubtless very able and
amiable gentlemen, but in Georgia poll
tics we hardly think they play quite so
prominent part as DR.. FELTON,. What
ever may be their merits as private citi-
zens, there are very few probably who
will rank them with DR.. FELTON, In the
arena Of politics.
But we have not seen it stated any,
where that they have said that they will
not support Maj. Bacon if he is nominated
for Governor. If they have made such a
statement it has escaped our observation.
II we are not mistaken, we pointed out,
on more than enc occasion, that DIR. Fell
ton stated in a public speech that
he would not support the nominee
of the convention il Gen. Cor.
don we're nominated, and we
expressed the opinion that Maj. Bacon
ought to repudiate the idea that Or. Eel
ton spoke for him In so important ma,
Ter. We are inclined TO think hat MAJ.
Bacon took our advice. because sc noticed
that soon afterwards, in a speech ne took
occasion to say that be would support the
nominee Of the convention whoever he
might be.
We do not believe, Of colae, nat the
Albany News has any desira o. I've its
readers false impressions respecting the
posit % Of the MORNGNG NEWS but state
ments that are not entirely complete and
accurate NAV create ;hst impression.
