THE WEIGHT OF EGGS.

Interesting Figures Based on Scientific
Investigation.
The specific gravity of new-laid egg
vnries from /. $50 to 1000; an egg, there
fore, is heavier than sea water, the. SPIT
cific gravity of which is 1.030. When
kept, eggs rapidly lose weight and be-
come specifically lighter than water
this is owing to the diminution in bulk
of the contents of the egg, the conse-
uuence of which is that a portion of the
inside of the egg comes to be filled with
air
Prout kept an egg two years and
found that it lost weight daily at an
average rate of 0.744 grains. The
original weight was 9075 grains, and
after two years exposure to the atmos-
phere it weighed only 1862 grains.
The total loss amounted to SAB grains,
or considerably more than half the
original weight. The loss in summer
was somewhat greater than in winter,
owing, no doubt, to the difference of
temperature. When an egg is there
fore employed as test of the strength
of brine, the newer it is the stronger is
the brine that floats it.
When an egg is boiled in water it
loses weight, particularly if it be re-
moved from the water when boiling
and be permitted to cool in the open
air. The water will be found to con-
tain portion of the saline constituents
of the egg. The loss of weight from
boiling is not constant, varying from 20
TO 30 grains, supposing the original
weight to have been 1000 grains.

Fast Walkers Needed.

There is more need of fast walkers
on the farms than there is of fast trot-
tiers. In drawing a moving machine,
reaper, hay rake, plow~ cultivator or
any farm machine horse seldom trots.
Here is where the fast walker is needed
and on the road, too, horse that will
take good walk up and down hill will
travel much faster than a slow walker.
In training colt he should be started
off in a walk and kept at that until he
gets impatient and starts into trot.
Never allow colt to think that walk
is chance to rest. In driving double,
put the colt with fast walker or else
with horse that takes such slow
trot that the colt must walk fast to
keep up. A little careful training dur
ing the first few weeks that the colt is
in harness will make big difference in
his ability to accomplish work.-Farm

MARBLES ON CATTLE.
MercurIal Ointment Probably Is the Most
Certain Remedy.

fercurial Ointment Probably Is the Most
Certain Remedy.
All who have anything to do with
cattle know that at this time of the
year there are large Jumps known as
MARBLES rising up along the back OF
cattle. Nearly all know that inside of
these are large grubs that produce
these swellings, but there are few who
have not taken special pains to note
the effect of them on their stock that
realize how much injury they do. Not
only is it the hide that is injured when
we wish to sell that; but it is terribly
trying to the health of stock to have
from one to three hundred of these
large maggots with their rough prickly
skin boring around in the flesh, irrita-
ting it till the MARBLE becomes putrid
and filed with pus like boil. We are
sick and suffer terribly from the effects
produced by single boil on the body,
yet; because these poor dumb animals
cannot speak, they have to suffer from
these numerous fostering MARBLES for
several months annually.
Many do nothing to alleviate this
pain and suffering of their animals,
while others press the grubs out, along
late in the season when the maggot has
done about all the injury it can and is
ready to leave it's MARBLE and enter the
ground to pupate. Much good San be
done if the stockman will begin at once
on his stock, and it will be money in
his pocket to relieve his stock, as the.y
will be healthier and in much more
thriving condition when spring opens.
Probably the most certain remedy to
be used is mercurial ointment. 1t should
be applied thoroughly to each MARBLE
about once week till the grubs have
all been killed. After the death of the
grub, the MARBLE will soon subside and
heal.
While these grubs are in the MARBLE
they have to breathe, and it is said that
lard or tar applied thoroughly will eff
fectually kill the grub by smothering it.
Whatever is done, do not let grub
escape to grow to maturity and enter the
ground, for if allowed to do so, along
in June or July it will come forth as
fly, and deposit eggs for another gen
Grafton next winter.
Good authority says that the warble
fly seldom goes far from where it is
reared, and that localities where people
have killed all Of them in the grub
state are almost entirely exempt from
them for several years thereafter.
Stabling stock in summer is Of
course an excellent thing to prevent
the fly from depositing eggs on the
stock; but, where one does not do this
and wishes to prevent the fly from de
posting the eggs, an excellent remedy
is compound consisting of one quart
of whale oil soap, one gill of oil of tai
and four ounces of flowers of sulphur
Mix and apply with brush along the
back once week through June, July
and Augusta. c. Davis, in Farm
