THE WEIGHT OF EGGS.
Interesting Figures Based on Scientii
Investigation.

Interesting Figures Based on Scientific
Investigation.
The specific gravity of new-laid egg
varies from 1.080 to 1000; an egg, there
fore. is heavier than sea water, the spe-
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-
quence of which is that portion of the
inside of the egg comes to be filed 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 9O7.5 grains, and
after two years exposure to the atnos-
phere it weighed only 1852 grains
The total loss amounted to 5443 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 80 grains, supposing the original
weight to have been 1000 grains

Growing a Diversity of Crops.

The expenses of the farm and family
go on through all the year. 1t is almost
impossible to make profit unless there
is equal continuity in selling. There
may be and should be special crops that
furnish the bulk of the money received
from the farm; but if this is drawn upon
by "a continual drain not relieved by
any new supply, 1t will be drawn down
to nothing. For years southern farm
ers have depended wholly on their sales
of cotton, and though this is one of the
most profitable crops grown, it has
been impossible for southern planters
to keep out of debt until they adopted
the northern plan of growing a diver
sity of crops,-Coleman's Rural World.

RULES FOR YOUNG eYMNAsTs.
Dangers to be Avoided in the Cultivation of
the Muscular System,

Dangers to be Avoided in the Cultivation of
the Muscular System.
Much benefit can be derived from
gymnastic appliances if they are used
lnderstandingly. No advantage is to
be gained by exercise that is carried on
in n careless manner. Neither too much
nor too violent exercise is beneficial,
though constant and regular work is
necessary. 1t is better to work for
certain length of time every other day
than to devote all of one week to eXer-
else, and not go near the gymnasium
the next.
To use any apparatus carelessly is to
use it dangerously have had many of
my worst falls in doing some of the
simplest tricks, because was careless,
and did not put my entire mind upon
what l was doing. There is something
besides and beyond the mere pleasure
of being able to perform tricks in gym
nasium; there is Il lasting benefit to be
obtained in careful gymnastic exercise.
Let me impress one fact upon your
minds, you are laying the foundation
of a splendid manhood at the same time
that you are gaining skill and grace.
You are laying up for yourself a store
of health that you can draw on when
you are grown men, and the days for
gymnastics are passed.
In beginning your exercises there are
two points that you must always bear
in mind Stand erect, and before be-
ginning any work draw a long deep
breath. Breathe from the abdomen, so
that the lower part of the lungs are ex-
panded. You will find by following
this simple device that anything you at
tempt will be much easier for you than
if you go about your exercises in care
no round-shouldered gymnasts, and
have yet to see any one who has
achieved distinction as gymnast who
was not as straight as an arrow, and
across whose shoulder blade a yard
stick could not be placed without touch
ing his back.
In your exercises avoid devoting too
much time to one kind of work. Do
not spend all your time, for instance, ON
OllS uOiiNOhpui Sdl3 vi Ol buO J1IdllSl
bars. What all would-be gymnasts
should strive for is symmetrical devel-
opment of their muscles. You do not
want to have legs like piano, hard and
knotted with muscles, and arms like
pipestems. Nor do you want to have
the arms and chest of a blacksmith and
legs like those of a crane. You want to
have all your muscles developed alike,
not one at the expense of another. Tc
avoid this lop-sided kind of growth is
the reason that gymnasiums have such
variety of appliances Mo-
lineaux, in Harper's Young People.

The Timidity of Sheen.

Great care has to be taken to prevent
disturbing the sheep except at their
regular feeding hours, and even then it
is best for no one to be present except
the regular feeders, says w. j. Fowler
IN American Cultivator. 1 noticed that
the sheep regarded my presence with
distrust, stopping eating whenever they
saw me, but not minding the presence
of Mr. Bumpus or his son. My voice
evidently disturbed them, and they rec
ognized it as the voice of stranger.
As looked at them through The win
dow thought of what the good shep-
herd said of old my sheep hear my
voice and follow me, but stranger
will they not follow, for they know not
the voice of stranger" 1t takes sew
eral days after the sheep are purchased
to wont them to their new home, and
for the first week at least very light
rations of grain are given them.

MARBLES ON CATTLE.
Mercurinl Ointment Probably Is the Moi
Certain Remedy.

Merourinl 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 humps 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 il is terribly
trying to the health of stock to have
from one to three hundred of these
large maggots with their rough priclsly
skin boring around in the flesh, irrita-
ting it till the warble becomes putrid
and filed with pus like a 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 its warble and enter the
ground to pupate. Much good can 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 they
will be healthier and in much more
f1,,.,,, uf,,.ifnn
Probably the most certain remedy to
be used is mercurial ointment. 1t should
be applied thoroughly to each warble
about once week till the grubs have
all been killed After the death of the
grub, the warble will soon subside and
heal.
While these grubs are in the warble
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 a
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 tar
and four ounces of flowers of sulphur.
Mix and apply with a brush along the
back once week through June, July
and August.-G. c. Davis, in Farm,

WILD CATS ON STATEN ISLAND.


Feline Tramps That Range From Court
House station to the Great Kills.
There are wild cats on Staten Island.
They are not the descendants of cats
that lived there in peace and comfort
many hundred years before the
advent of rapid transit, but
are degraded and fallen cats
that formerly belonged to good families
on the island. Civilization and milk
lost charms for them, and they took TO
the woods where they spend their time
like vagabonds. They live 'on birds,
moles, and even rabbits. Gunners say
that they destroy large numbers of
young rabbits.
There are two classes of these wan
dering minstrels. One of them may be
said to be only half savage. They go
on periodical sprees with their wild
ltinsfoll, but sooner or later they re-
turn to their boarding houses. They
are always sleek and fat The others
are homeless outcasts, the descendants
of once good and well-to-do parents,
but their heads were turned, as it We're,
by eating dime novels. They are dirty
faced ugly, ragged rascals, such as
canaries might dream of when troubled
with indigestion. Moreover, they are
incorrigible poachers and chicken
| thieves.
A few generations of such cats might
in time make hunting in the woods of
Staten Island exciting. But there is
| little hope for that now. The cats
must go. About fifteen or twenty years
ago. when the neighborhood of the
South Beech was well wooded, a con-
| siderable number of these feline tramps
might be found there, and some of
them, anxious for a change of diet,
were often seen on the water front
after the fishermen had lifted their nets,
hunting for fresh mossbunkers or other
rejected fish that were thrown upon the
beach. They are all gone now, and
their places are occupied in the summer
months by the other kind of tramps and
pickpoclSets and their female friends,
which the rapid transit brings there for
improvement of the island.
Wild cats are still found at Gifford's
and Court House station. The largest
and boldest one that has been shot
there recently was an old rounder that
for some time played havoc among the
chickens belonging to Mike Fitzgerald
Of the Great Kills. This one was re-
peatedly fred at, but it had its nine
lives and kept them all about it. Al
last Maurice Fitzgerald, son of Mike
hit upon plan to capture it. When he
thought it was about time for the cat
to make one of it's visits, Maurice left
the door of the chicken house ajar
fastened bluefish line to it, ran il
through one of the windows, and, by
means of little block, rugged it so that
he could shut the door by pulling the
line from the stable door. Then he sal
down and lighted his pipe. Sure enough
the cat came and quietly entered the
chicken house. Maurice pulled the
line, the door closed and the cat was {
prisoner. Then Maurice brought ou
his gun, took deadly aim at the ca
through the bars of a little window o.
ventilator, and murdered the old fellow
in cold blood That cat, however, ha
some relatives still left, and, in com
pany with their half civilized com
panions, they often make the wood
ring in lonely and desert places.-N. Y

The SERVANT Onestinn.

1t is curious fact that there is moth
ing which is so wholly unanimous as the
desire that other peoples daughters
should be cooks and chamber-maids.
We never think of it as thing desira-
BILE, or perhaps supposable, for our own;
and this fact seems to damage most of
our arguments for others. Artemus
Ward was willing to send his wife's re-
lations to the war, but we are not in
clined to contribute even these to the
kitchen, for we should hold, rightfully
that it was 'menial service" Now if
we draw the line at menial service for
ourselves and our relatives, why
should we speak severely of those
who draw the line at just that point for
themselves and their own relatives?
The whole difficulty of this much-veXed
question seems to lie precisely there

Fast walkers Needed.

There is more need of fast walkers
ON the farms than there is of fast trot-
ters. In drawing 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 slow walker.
In training colt he should be started
off in walk and kept at that until he
gets impatient and starts into a trot,
Never allow colt to think that walk
is a chance to rest. In driving double,
put the colt with fast walker or else
with horse that takes such a 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 worlH.-Farm
