SOME FACTS ABOUT EGGS.
Matching Chickens By the Million in Egypt for
American StOmaehs.
Cairo fEgvptl Letter.

American StOmaehs.
Cairo Egypt Letter.
The Egyptians are, however, far in ad-
vance of US in the science of raising
chickens, and the incubating establish
ments of the country hatch out eggs by
the million every year. At Matching
establishment near the Pyramids the
farmers trade fresh eggs for young chicks
and the rate is two eggs per chick. An
other artificial egg hatchery turns out
800, 200 little chickens every season and
the oven crop of chickens in Egypt
amounts, according to figures furnished
me by the consul general, t. more than
twenty millions of chickens year.
We have about two hundred million
dollars worth of money invested in the
fowl industry in the United States, an
amount so large that all the money of
Jay Gould could not equal it, and still
we have to import more than sixteen
million dozens of eggs every year. If
America would adopt the Egyptian
Matching system we could sell eggs in
stead of buying them, and our farmers
might buy little chickens to raise at
price of 20 cents q dozen. More than
twenty millions of little chickens are sold
each year in this way in Egypt, and there
us regular business in chickens Just old
enough TO walk.
The incubatories are rude, one-story
buildings, made of undried bricks so ar
ranged that the eggs are laid upon cut
straw in racks in rooms, around the
ovens, which are kept fired during the
Matching season. The outside walls are
very thick and are built so that they re-
tain the heat, and the only thermometer
used is the blood of the boy or man who
attends TO the fires. By long practice
these men learn just how hot the ovens
ought to be kept, and they re-
plenish the fires as the weather demands.
small amount of fuel is needed, and
the temperature of the ovens is about
that OF ninety eight degrees above zero.
The fire is built up for eight or ten days
before the eggs are put in, to thoroughly
warm the hut, and after this time it does
not go out during the season, which is
from March until May. The eggs are
turned four times a day while hatch
ing. The whole outfit of an
establishment which matches over
two hundred thousand chickens
year does not, 1 am told, cost more
than S25, and one man runs the whole
machine, keeping the fires, buying and
turning the eggs and selling the chick
ems. There are in this incubatory twelve
compartments, each seventy feet long,
sixty feet wide and sixteen feet high,
and each of these compartments will hold
1900 eggs at a time, or 90 900 eggs in
all. 1t produced last year more than
two hundred and thirty thousand chick
ems and did the work Of more than
twenty thousand hens.

The United States minister to
Turkey, is a German. He was
born in Wurtemberg, March %,
1899. In 1854 he came to the United
States. He began his American career
as a clerk at New Haven, Connecticut.
After serving engagements in New York
city and Rochester, New Hampshire, in
1858 he and brother went to Portland :,
Oregon. The brothers opened a store at
Dallas, Polk county, Oregon. They
made money during the three years
they lived there. After spending
the same amount of time at Sill
verton, where they largely added to their
fortune, Solomon bought an interest IN q
great dry goods house in Portland. He
made his first political speech in 1864. In
1872 he was a delegate TO the Republican
state convention, and in the same year
was elected a member of the state legis-
lature. Two years after he was elected a
state senator. He was reelected in 1873
and in 1880 was made president of the
senate. In 1882 he was re- elected to the
state senate the second time. Mr.. Hirsch

FARMERS FOR JURYMEN.

The First Steps in the Trial of the Cronfn
Suspects.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. Fifty farm
ers will march into Judge Mcconnell s
court tomorrow morning as candidates
for jury duty during the trial of the
Cronin suspects. A special venire for
them was issued without the knowledge
of the attorneys for the defense. Judge
Mcconnell yesterday quietly issued the
venire and had Sheriff Matson dispatch
the country bailiffs in search of jury
men. Fifty OF those summoned live on
farms and in remote suburban villages of
the county. By Tomorrow night It is
expected that some of them will have
been accepted as jurymen or the defense
will have made q big hole in the ninety
six peremptory challenges it still has in

Chinese Floating Gardens.
GU 7,

In the month of April a bamboo raft,
ten to twelve feet long and about half as
broad, is prepared. The poles are dashed
together with interstices of an inch be-
tween each. Over this layer of straw
an inch thick is spread, and then coat
ing two inches thick of adhesive mud,
taken from the bottom of a canal or
pond, which receives the seed
The raft Is moored to the bank
in still water, and requires no
further attention. The straw soon gives
way and the soil also, the roots drawing
support from the water alone. In about
twenty days the raft becomes covered
with the creeper (ipomaea reptans) and
its stems and roots are gathered for
cooking. In autumn its small white
petals and yellow stamens, nesting
among the round leaves, present very
pretty appearance. In some places marshy
land is profitablY cultivated in this man
ner. Besides these floating vegetable
gardens there are also floating rice fields.
Upon RATS constructed as above weeds
and adherent mud were placed as
flooring, and when the rice shoots were
ready for transplantIng they were
placed in the floating soil, which, being
adhesive and held in place by weed roots,
the plants we're maintained IN position
throughout the season. The rice
thus planted rIpened in from sixty to
seventy in place of 100 days. The RATS
are cabled to the shore floating on lakes,
pools or sluggish streams. These float
ing fields served TO avert famines,
whether By drought or flood. When
other fields we're submerged and
their crops s0dden or rotten,
these foated and tiourished and
when a drOuth prevailed they subsidized
with the falling water, and while the
soil around was arid, advanced to
maturity. Agricultural treatlses contain
plates representing rows Of extensive
rice fields moored TO sturdy trees on the
banks Of rivers or lakes which existed
formerly in the lacustrlne regions of the

~ RUNNELs COUNTY SENTIMENT.
Whatit is Regarding Immigration-Money and
Advertising the Essentials.


To the Gazette.
The immigration scheme advocated by
THE GAZETTE we do not believe to be
good idea. Texas is the best country for
the home seeker in existence and will be
settled rapidly in the coming few years.
OF course it would pay land agents to
advertise the country and their prop
erty for sale, but immigration will come
fast enough for the general run of peo-
pie.
In reference to the above paragraph,
clipped from last week 5 issue of the
Leader, our county paper published in
this city, which was noticed extensively
ana commented upon in q very crafty
ing and refreshing manner by THE Ga
ZETTE in its issue Of the Doth inst, we
beg to say he expressed the sentiments of
not a single individual in this county,
save and except the individual whose pen
produced it.
Runnels county, we believe, is getting
her share of immigration, the influx of
people herein is fully as great as in any
of our sister counties, but our wish and
desires in that matter are not now and
have at no time been fully gratIfed.
We not only most heartily welcome all
who cast their lot with US, but use every
honorable method and means to impress
upon the people generally the advan-
tages our city and county offer to those
seeking cheap homes in the west-the
garden spot of Texas. Ballinger has now,
and has had for more than two years, a
live, energetic immigration committee
composed OF business men, which said
committee has contributed, collected
and used great deal OF money
advertising the resources and
advantages of our county. The
quill driver of the Leader is not men,
Der and will not be initiated until he be-
comes infused with 4 much greater spirit
of progress than he indicates in the pub
LEGATION of the above clipping.
We do not wish TO be understood as
fighting our home paper. Far from it.
Its the only one we've got, but we do
want to be understood as not being in
sympathy with the sentiments expressed
i'll the above. -

Blue Lined Envelonea.

why are these.envelopes blue on the
inside?" was the query put to stationer
the other day.
"For very simple reason" was the
reply. Zone of the great results to be
attained in making envelopes is to pre-
vent transparency. Many white papers
are so transparent that by careful scru-
tiny the contents of such envelopes may
be determined. For instance. let us put
a sheet of paper with writing on it into
this envelope. Let us also insert bank
check. We will now seal it and hold it
TO the light thus. There you can not
only see the bank check, but you can
also read many of the words on the sheet
of paper This can be prevented either
by getting very thick and high priced
envelope which is not transparent, nor
scarcely translucent, or by taking a
cheaper grade of paper which is blue on
one side. Now we sell quite a number
of blue envelopes, that is. envelopes
which are blue on the outside; but most
people do not like them for their color.
So, to get over the difficulty and still
not make high priced article, we use
paper which is blue on one side and
white on the other. - Exchange.
