a Great cisy's Egg Supply.

When 1t comes to eggs, figures fail. II
Is necessary to speak of them by dozens.
Last year 6, ,00c, 900 dozens Of eggs were
sold In the egg markets, Il, 900, 900 eggs
all told. But that is nothing. Hundreds
of grocers get their eggs direct from the
country, so that it will probably be safe
to say that New York and its vicinity
consumes /, 200, 900, 900 eggs every year,
as the egg men say that they do not sell
oue-tenth part of the eggs used In New
York.
They are gathered from everywhere; I;
some are raised right within the city
limits, many across the river in Hudson
County, N. j., hundreds Of thousands
on Long Island, and nobody knows how
many within 200 miles of New York
city. They arc packed in barrels chiefly
for the market, and in boxes-each egg
in its own compartment-for family and
grocery store shipment. The only avail
able figures arc those of the markets, but
the dealers say that they do not begin to
represent one-tenth part of the consump-
tion.-lNew York News.

How Salmon Are Canned.

The .workmcu in the Oregon salmon
canneries are nearly all Chinaruen, and a
good d-sized cannery will employ from $50
20 200 hands during tho season, which
extends from April to August. The
buildings extend To the waters edge, in
front OF which a platform is erected on
piles 80 that ocean steamers eau come
alongside and load right from the Can
merry. In the rear of the wharf is u rack
where the salmon is received direct from
the fishermen. Next Ia the rack is a
clearing bench wncrc the heads. tails,
fins and entrails are removed. The fish
are then washed in three different waters
and passed on to the cutters bench
where a system of revolving knives slice
the salmon transvcrsely into pieces four
inches long. They are then taken to the
canning bench. where Cinnamon, who
arc required to wash their hands a dozen
times day, cut the fish into the proper
size for canning and packing. Tne filled
cans are then pushed an toward the next
bench, where the covers are fitted. The
next set of ChiuAmcu solder the covers,
and 10 turn pass them 10 an adjoining
hatch Of men, who place the cans on
iron racks and lower them into bu-e
boilers. When the scaled fsh come out
of this receptacle the cans arc washed,
cooled, tested, labeled and cased. when
they are ready for shipment. A case of
salmon contains fOrty-cight one-pOund
cans or twenty-four two-pound cans, ac-
sor'lius to the order of the consignee.-

Poultry In the Orchard.

When chickens are trained from tho
first to live in the orchard they like no
place better and will be perfectly con-
tent to scratch in the dirt for worms and
catch bugs and insects Of every kind
which come near enough TO the ground
In this way small orchards especially can
be greatly benefited. Ducks, guineas,
turkeys and chickens are all exceedingly
fond Of bugs and worms of nearly all
kinds, and if you watch them hunting
in the orchard for while you are sure
TO be convinced that they are q most ex-
cellent destroyer Of pests. By this COM
bination the chickens4are at least partly
fed and the bugs are converted into use
ful animation. 1t can scarcely be said
that chickens will injure fruit, because
they will only peck at that which falls
to the ground in partly decsyed or in
tured condition

The First Bridges.

The first bridges were Of wood, and
hc earliest of which we have any account
vas built in Rome 500 years B. c. The
,ext was erected by Julius Cesar for the
,passagc of his army across the Rhine.
Trajans great bridge over the Danube,
four thousand, seven hundred and
seventy feet long, was made of timber,
with stone piers. The Romans also built
the first stone bridge, which crossed the
Tiber. Suspension bridges are of remote
origin. A Chinese one mentioned by
Kirchen, made of chains supporting a
roadway eight hundred and thirty feet
in length, was built A. ID. 65, and Is still
TO be sccn.' The first iron bridge was
erected over the Severn in 1777.

I had nine acre lot that was COM
pletely overrun with Canada thistles;
besides on a part Of it there was q good
deal more quack grass than made it
agreeable to farm. In the spring, four
years ago, put it under barley, and
when the crop was cut scarcely any bar
ley could be seen, so thick and high were
the thistles; but the yield of barley was
thirty-five bushels to the acre. Just as
soon as the crop was secured the plow
was started and we plowed deep. Then
dragging and rolling followed. The
weather was dry. In this condition the
land was left till about Sept. /, when
the sulky plow was started around tho
lot. blowing with two horses at the rate
nt three acres per day. The plow was
set 20 run about two inches deep; after
that we dragged once and sOwed to

RARM FIELD. GARDEN;
EXPERIMENT STATION REPORTS AND
OTHER MATTERS OF VALUE.

1nstructlvs Tests In Corn Culture as he
Connecticut and Illinois EIperimsns
etatioDs-Importance OF o Continuous
Selection of Seed
Experiments made at the Connecticut
station make it appear that grain in
general needs thicker planting on poor
than on fertile soil, and that the lodging
of grain results from the too crowded
growth when the plants shade each other
too much, become wstery, and for this
reason a MANFRED piece OF land may give
q less return than more sterile one un-
der certain conditions.
A series Of experiments were made by
this station TO determine the relative
value of certain dent and flint varieties
Of corn. Both were planted at different
and measured distances in rows four feet
apart, The unexpected result was reach
cd that the dent would bear closer plant
ing and give heavier returns from thick
planting than the flint, although the dent
was taller, larger, had heavier leaves,
and larger and longer ears. The flint
yielded the heaviest crop whom planted
one foot apart In the row, while the dent
produced the most with two stalks to q
foot. This remarkable difference in fa-
vor Of the thickest planting for the larger
variety was ascribed to the continued Sc
lection Of seed of this particular sub
variety Of the dent for, the past fifteen
years, with special view to this su.
periority, and it affords strong recon-
mendation of the practice of continuous
selection with valuable points in view.
This reproduction Of plants from the
seed continuously produces new varie:
ties; but this Improvement is not to be
expected in case Of the potato, which i,
not increased by seed, but only from
cuttings Of the underground stems.
Trials with corn as reported in bull
ietin issued by the Illinois station have
led 10 the following conclusions: The
varieties maturing about Sept. 25 gave
larger yields of well dried corn than either
earlier or later sorts. The loss after husk.
ing ranges from 10 to 90 per cent, and
eighty pounds Of ear com were required
to weigh bushel Of air dry corn. Bar
renness Of stock seems to depend more
on thickness Of planting and season than
On variety. The yields have varied but

not later than June 1. Drill planting
has not been found materially better
than hill planting. Planting at the rate
OF one kernel to every nine or twelve
inches gave more grain, and one kernel
TO every SIX inches moro fodder than
thicker or thinner planting. Deep and
close cultivation injured the crop. Fre-
quent cultivation did not pay the extra
cost. Commercial fertilizers did not in
crease the yield. Stable manure in
creased the yield, but not sufficient to
earn the cost.

but common cotton batting will do il

stored where mice cannot nibble tho
paper and eat the jelly.
Again, pour over the jelly a1ayer of
melted paraffine; melted, but not hot,
just warm enough to run. 1t will
harden rapidly. Then paste over the
glass round of soft paper. When
the jelly is used, melt the paraffine and
save till the following year. Mrs.

A farmer who has long cultivated a
sandy farm remarks as one of the expen.
Gve incidents of this land the increased
cost of fencing it. Posts set in sand rot
out much more quickly than in heavier
coil. mainly because as with every rain
the water settles down, the air follows
and it is exposed TO constant changes.
Sandy soil is through the summer gen.
orally warmer than other land, and this
promotes speedy decay of anything in it.
The farmers had once set posts that did
not last more than eight years before
they were rotted off. the decay occurring
