Value OF Eggs as Food.

Eggs are most invaluable food, fol-
they contain all that is required for
building up and maintaining the body.
The white of an egg is almost pure
albumen and water, while the yelk, the
richer part, consists of albumen with
minute particles of oil in it, and small
amount OF salts. Albumen, which is
54.3 carbon, IL hydrogen, 1873 nitro
gen, 21.0 oxygen and 1.8 sulphur, ex-
lists in the blood in the proportion of
seventy-fve parts to 1000, in less
quantities in the lymph and chyle,
juices formed in the process of digestion,
and in trifing amounts in other juices
of the body. To supply this albumen
in the body it is necessary to use ali
ments that contain it. That group of
foods, of which eggs are the foremost,
are called albuminoids. The .charac-
teristic common to all is that they con
tain nitrogen, an important element in
the body. Eggs, which are easy of
digestion, both when raw and properly
cooked, are never too costly food per
Sc. The pure nutriment in them is
one-third of their entire bulk, while
that in beef is only one-quarter, and
that of oysters one-eighth their respec-
tive bulks. So that, with eggs at
twenty-five cents a dozen, round steak
at sixteen cents and mutton chops at
twenty cents pound, both food and
money are saved by eating the eggs

waited upon, or. rather. rushed upon, Pres

General Chetlain thereupon returned to
his former post, at Memphis. and contin-
ued operations in Tennessee and Western

Wherever the colored troops were tested
in battle they were found to be at least up
to the average as to efficiency and bravery.
and. in not few instances, proved
themselves second to none. One
was shown at the battle of Nashville,
where brigade of four regiments under
command of Col. T. j. Morgan, who for
several years after the war was a professor
in the Baptist Theological Seminary at
Morgan Park, near Chicago, held the ex-
treme left of the Union lines, forming a
part of General Steedman's command. and
had the honor of charging the enemy's
earthwOrks and capturing them, with
several pieces of artillery. meeting with
great loss to themselves in killed and
wounded.
In this charge one regiment lost no less
than four color bearers: one after another
OF the color guard gallantly snatched up the
flag when his predecessor fell, the fourth
man failing mortally wounded as he planted
the colors on theienemy's works. After thi:
feat Gen. Steedman, who had been Skep-
tical as to the fighting qualities of the black
men. was free to confess that he regarded
them as brave and efficient in battle as the
average white troops.
1t will be remembered that the colored
regiment raised in Illinois in 1868 and COM
manded by Colonel Bross did some gallant
work at Petersburg when the mines were
exploded. at which time Colonel Bross was
killed while gallantly leading the regiment.
The negro soldier had one popularity,
differing from his white brother in that he

threw away gun or knapsack in his retreat.

Wherever the colored troops were en-

other duty along the coast of defenses, they
were found to perform their duties mos

to keep them from rocking. In this way
we have moved hundreds of colonies,
and many times over as rough roads as
there are in this county, and that is
rough enough.
Previous to last season, we had killed
but very few colonies-pr obably four or
five in thirty years. Last season we met
our Waterloo, killing sixteen colonies
in one trip. Several causes served as
helps to this disaster. The distance was
considerable twenty four miles,, there
was too much honey; the weather was
very hot and the colonies were extra
strong. In our first trip of this move,
we left in the full number of frames; in
the next loads we took out five or six
frames from each upper story, making
them cooler, and furnishing an empty
space to cluster in. The last moved had
the advantage of being six miles nearer
destination than those moved first, with
the additional precaution of less frames.
We moved the last lot with success.
AS an offset to the loss of last season,
[ will give short account of moving
seventy-two colonies in the summer of
1879, which was my first experience in
moving to the mint Qast of July, ten
miles distance). I wished to move the
strongest colonies, many bees lying out.
The question was, how to move such
populous stocks and make it safe for
them and the horses. We solved the
problem by mailing some wire screens
over empty hives, and fastening one on
top of each colony, making them three
stories high, with nothing but bees and
air in upper stories. The experiment
was success, as we broke only lone
comb out of the seventy-two colonies in
moving down. and did not get a horse
stung at all; but we used every precau-
ton to guard against the bees getting

IT is fact that young pigs are often
overfed and hurt, and sometimes killed
by overlooking.
DON'T make the mistake of over stock
| ing the pasture and expect the stock to
come in in the fall in good shape.
WHEN young pigs are weaned they
should be fed in shallow trough, from
which they can take their food only very
slowly.
GRASS should be made the basis of
our pork. In grass include not only
common pasture, but clover and green
cornstalks.
LIKE all domestic animals, to be profit
able the hog must be we'll bred. The
scrub hog like the scrub steer is poor

A LUMBER dealer of indianapolis, says
that the inhalation Of the odor of pine
lumber is the reason why undergrad
horses are SO healthy.
In speaking of the skilful breeder
some one has said that skill consists Of
foundation of common sense and a
superstructure of special education.
IT is no wonder that some farmers are
always hard up. They raise the kind of
stock, horses especially, that no one
wants badly enough to pay the price for
them that will justify raising them.
MUCH of the prevalent paralysis Of
the hind limbs of hogs is caused by
overlooking, by which the kidneys have
been overtaxed and the nervous system
of the lumbar region (the lions) is dis
turbed.
A CURIOSITY at the Chicago stock

PIG-PENs in summer are an alb omina-
ton. Thousands of pigs are kept in
them at loss, or wit doubtful profit,
when with small outlay for suitable
fencing, they could have the benefits of
grass and ground, and do better and
make meat far more palatable and

PIG running out to pasture will fat
ten on half the corn it will consume
when shut in pen. and the meat will
be much better. There are no animals
which SO much require succulent food

GEN. A. L. CHETLAIN. trict raised a full
regiment of freedmen, they being the first
colored troops put in service north OF New
Orleans.
In December, 1868, General Chetlain was
commissioned a Brigadier General and Or
Vile for assignment to duty. Repairing to
Nashville, he was informed by General
Grant that he had large and important
work to be done i'll Tennessee and Western
Kentucky, in the way of raising colored
troops, which he wished him to superin-
tend. as he believed him we'll qualified for
the task OF enlisting and organizing the
freedmen into an available and efficient body
of soldiers.
1t may be stated that Generals Grant and
Chetlain were we'll acquainted, they both
having lived at Galena prior to the war.
and, together with General Rawlins and
others who afterward Won fame in the
army raised the first company OF volun-
teerS sent to the war from that region, and
which General Chetlain had the honor of
commanding, General Grant, to whom the
honor was first rendered, having declined.
General Chetlain was informed by Gen
eral Grant that the policy of putting cOl-
ored troops in the service was not popular
among army officers, and if he did not feel
like assuming the responsibility OF the
work, he did not want him to take hold of
it; that it was a task he felt delicacy in
ordering him to.
Being assured by General Chetlain that
he was there to obey orders, and that he
need feel no delicacy in assigning him to
any required duty, General Grant contin-
ued that he believed he (Chetlain) could
make Il success of the work, and if he did,
1t would be greatly to his credit that he
believed the black men Of the South would
make good soldiers if properly handled

officers much more than the white man

Why He Needed PRAYERS.

Col. Dick Wintersmith, sitting un;Sssr
the trees in front of the Ebbitt House
the other day, related the following
yarn:
"It seems that the congregation of a
church in one of the southern counties,
of Virginia was one day greatly shocked
upon hearing that their preacher had
departed under most discreditable cir
cumstances. On the following Sunday
nearly every one in the congregation
was desiring of hushing up the sean
dial, and under great restraint many
interesting conversations were held
merely to prove that the members of
the church could rise above sensational
gossip. just before the services were
closed Brother Elijah P. Brookrod,
arose and said:
brothers and sisters, since we
last met in this house something which,
seems to have cast a gloom over this,
congregation has occurred. We were
all much attached to our minister; In,
fact, we loved him, and now [ propose
that we offer up prayer for the wan
derer.' s...r
"a sensational wave passed over this
audience. Another brother arose, and
turning to Elijah P. Brookrod, said:

desire the congregation to pray for our
erring minister-you, above all others
