BLACK HENS EGGS.
Why 1t is That They Are Preferable to
Those of Other Fowls,


An old woman with green bonnet
and umbrella to match approached a
stall at the Central market early one
morning and asked if the eggs exposed
on the counter for sale were fresh.
1--WE don't advertise to sell rotten
ones, ma'am," said the dealer, crustily.
No, s'pose not" rejoined the GUS
toner. "I'd like two dozen, if you
please, but Pm very particular about
havin' the black hens eggs always.
The merchant of produce gazed upon
her with an expression that was half
Indignation and half disgust,
''IIow can tell which were laid by
black hens?" he growled "If you
know, just pick them out for yourself"
The woman smiled pleasantly, and
proceeded to select from the basket
those of the eggs which she designated
of the black hens, while the dealer
held bag for their reception, He
noticed that all of those she chose were
of extra size.
1.-THE black hens seem to lay big eggs,
ma'am," he said, finally, when all the
big ones in his stock had been picked
out.
ooh! yes" replied the old woman, as
she paid for her purchase. Its always
SO. Good day"
After she had gone the merchant
rubbed his chin thoughtfully for two or
three minutes and then remarked to
himself:
by jove! | call that about the slick.
est trick I've had worked on me for
many day, Black hens eggs indeed!
All she wanted was a chance to pick
out the big ones and she got it."
With that he looked, not spitefully
but admiringly, after the old woman

twenty minutes at another stall near by

two men with large hoes The other
form of this device, Fig. 3, is built
much heavier. Its legs are made
in the form of braces SO that
1t cannot be pulled toward
the wagon, and instead of
resting on the sloping bank, heavy legs
support it. These are first buried in
the gravel as a further protection
against force. All this precaution is
taken because the wagons are to be
filed by horse power; and an extra
horse or team will be required A
common scraper does the work, but the
team is not used on the platform. Its
place is on the ground beyond the
wagon being filed, and heavy rope
connects it with the scraper. A pulley
on convenient tree can be made to
tighten the draught and elevate the rope
above the wagon. With wagons enough
to keep the scraper-team at work, high
ways may be very rapidly graveled and
swamps filed, Loose planks for sides
and bottom should be used ON the
wagon instead of the regulation box.
