SOFT SHELLED EGGS.
The Different Causes Which PRODUCE
Them-A Number of Remedies.

The Different Causes Which Produce
Them-A Number of Remedies.
The laying of soft shell eggs at this
season of the year is very common,
saws Annie Webster in an exchange,
and many remedies are suggested to
prevent it. The fact is, the causes are
many, and if they are all treated alike
it will be a matter of chance whether
success is obtained. The most common
cause. and one on which the most stress
is ALWAYS laid, is the lack of calcare-
Gus matter in the chicken system. and
edv is a good one. Give the fowls the
oyster shells broken up. If the lack of
this substance in the system is the
cause of the complaint, such treatment
will bring about a change shortly. A
second cause, very common among the
Dorkings, Crevecoeurs and other heavy
breeds, especially at this season of the
year, is undue excitement. In the
spring Of the year they are exposed
more to excitement when they are on
the range than at any other season, and
this induces them to lay soft shelled
eggs. Fowls that are driven about
much, or worried in any way will be
apt to lay soft eggs. The only remedy
for this, of course, is complete rest
and removal of the causes of excite
ment.
Disease and inflammation of the egg
passage is another very common cause,
which causes the production of eggs
unfit for market, and those which are
| often broken before they can be Sc
cured for home use. The best remedy
for this is to give the hens dose or
| two of calomel one grain, and one
| twelfth of grain of tartar emetic, In
| their meals. This may be repeated a
| day or two after.
This complaint is sometimes caused
| by over-stimulating food, such as high
| ly-spiced food from the table. At such
times the food ration should be very
simple, consisting chiefly of rice and
potatoes. with no seasoning whatever
in it. Unwholesome food will also
sometimes bring about the same I'M
healthy condition.

A FISH with two tails is the leading

In Lancaster, Pa, there is on exhi-
bition a perfectly white catfish nine

AT Dunedin, Fla, James Barnes and

Syrup"

Here is something from Mr.. Frank
4. Hale, proprietor of the De Witt
House, Lewiston, and the Tontine
Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men
meet the world as it~comes and goes,
and are not slow in sizing people
and things up for what they are
worth. He says that he has lost
father and several brothers and SIS
tiers from Pulmonary Consumption,
and is himself frequently troubled
with colds, and he
Hereditary often coughs enough
to make him sick at
Consumptionhis stomach. When
ever he has taken a
cold of this kind he uses Boschee's
German Syrup, and it cures him
every time. Here is a man who
knows the full danger of lung trou-
bles, and would therefore be most
particular as to the medicine he used.
What is his opinion? Listen! I
use nothing but BoscEee's German
Syrup, and have advised, I presume,
more than hundred different per-
sons to take it. They agree with
me that it is the best cough syrup

Errors About Cocoa.

Many people, especially invalids, use
cocoa with the idea that it is very
nourishing. Many physicians recon-
rnended it with the same erroneous
view. NJ. Carries, a French physician,
has recently shown that this Is an er-
ror. The fifty per cent of fat when
cocoa naturally contains, must be at
most wholly removed before IL can DC
reduced to a powdered state ANY
considerable quantity of fat left would
cause the powder speedily to become
rancid. The consequence is, that cocoa
powdered, is practically analogous to
SKINNED milk, its nutritive value beng
even less than this familiar comestlole.
Good Health.

STACKING SHEAVES.
A Way of Doing 1t That Has Proved Pop
uIar and Satisfactory.

A Way of Doing 1t That Has Proved Pop
uIar and Satisfactory.
l have stacked much grain in my day,
and none of it became wet in the stack.
Begin by setting two bundles on end,
leaning together at angle of about 20
degrees, then continue around and
around until the stack-bottom is large
enough The center sheaves should be
pressed in as closely together as posi-
BILE AS the circle enlarges each suc-
ceeding course should be given little
more slant. SO that when the last course
is laid it will have but a slight slant
The stack bottom is then highest in the
middle This rule is followed until
the stack is finished. AS the laying
proceeds from the center the sheaves
should be laid less closely in n dlmln-
ishing degree, SO that the stack Will
settle least in the center. After the
first course the stacker should be on
his knees and press down every sheaf.
When The foundation is about u feet
high the outside tiers of sheaves must
be laid to project u little over the ones
Immediately beneath, to give the stack
the proper bulg., that the water may
be conveyed away from the base. The
outer courses when being Laid out"
must be secured or some may slide
when considerable weight presses upon
them.
Grasp each sheaf with both hands,
raise the headsend almost perpendicu-
lar and chuck the butt end into the
butt of the one beneath, then lower
and push out to place; the ends of some
of the straws. catching into the sheaf
beneath hold it from sliding out. l
continue this practice when drawing
in to top out" A good man is need
ed to pitch from the wagon to the one
on the stack who pitches to the stack
err The sheaves should be thrown
within reach of the latter, who has to
move around as the stacker does. The
wagon should not be unloaded from
| the same side of the stack twice in sue
cession. The pitching-off should be
done all around, to prevent packln :
| down the sheaYes more III one place
| than another The stack-pitcher should
not stand in one place longer than two
| minutes, but keep moving in different
| circles about the center. His place Is
| never nearer than or feet to the
edge of the stack. Keep the center
full, keep it pressed solid and even, anc
then the stack will settle squarely
| Stacked thus, sheaves will turn water
| as readily as a ducks back. For &
| stack of 25 feet diameter the center
should be kept feet higher than the
| outer edge-Galen Wilson, in n. Y
