EgGS MADE BY MACHINERY.


A remarkable patent was put OF
file in the Patent Office at Wash
ington by James Story, Of Prisons,
Kan. 1t is an artificial egg. Mr..
Story has been at work or this pat
ent for over two years, and is now
able to produce an egg like a real
hens egg in color, shape, appear
ance and taste. A number Of these
eggs have been left with the bust
ness men Of that city, and after
giving them fair test, Mr.. Story
has their deposition that they can
find no difference in them from the
true eggs. The inventor took four
eggs perfect in share and eoloT, i'm
the first was n gram Of wheat, i'm
the second a grain Of oats, IN the
third n silver dime. and in the
fourth forty cents, consisting Of
four silver dimes. Some local capi.
taIists have taken the matter in
hand and propose TO build an egg
factory in that city. The inventor
says that hc can manufacture Cur
load per day with machinery that
will cost 5000 at the rate OF
three cents per dozcu.- TX.

MoRGANTowN WEST "a.

MoRGANTowN WEST VA.
April llth, 1892.
Mr.. A. ID. Hopkins, of this Ex
pertinent Station, is preparing
bulletin upon "Shecp Industry for
West Virginia" for free distribu
ton 10y the Agricultural Expcri
ment Station. He has been with,
and has handled sheep all his life,
and during the last two years Las
visited every county in tho State.
Our conyictions arc that there are
great possibilities in the growing of
market lambs and fat sheep, as we'll
MS the production of wool ns the
leading and most profitable farm
products for many West Virginia
farmers, and it will he the object of
this bulletin to place in their hands
valuable and practical information
upon the subject of profitable
methods and breeds tho treatment
OF diseases insect pests, etc.
To make this bulletin Of the
greatest value, Information is
desired upon the following points,
and sheep breeders, and farmers
interested IN shoep husbandry, are
asked to correspond with Mr.. Hop.
klns at Morgautown, West Va.
who VIII be glad to hear from every
one who has any original ideas
upon the care of sheep, profits and
Iooses of the business, etc. An
swors to the following questions are
especially desired
What breed Of thorough bred
rams seem TO produce the best
results IN the Improvement Of com.
mon sheep? What are the differ
ent breeds used for this purpose |?
Tho namo and address OF each
breeder of thorough bred sheep is
desired, and the name or names Of
the breeds kept ty each +? What
method OF management seems to
yield the greatest profit? What
diseases or other troubles, If any.
arc affecting the sheep.
These questions are intended to
apply to each district or county and
should be answered accordingly.
We trust that the farmers will feel
at full liberty to write and give us
the benefit of their experience and
tobsery9tlons. Due credit will be
fgiven for all information in reply to
these questions as FIR as published.
and the bullotIns will be sent free to
all on our mailing list, and to others
desiring them.
During the coming year, | desire
TO give the lye stock industry of
the State more special attention,
and as n leader in this work ] have
elected Mr.. Hopkins, who will dis.
cuss at length in one or more
bulletins the questions relating TO
sheep husbandry.
may add in conclusion that
have never known a farmer in this
State, who stuck to the sheep busi-
ness through thick and thin,
through good and bad report, who
did not make money, ard to-day,
the uniformly successful farmers,
in the sectionG OF tie State largely
devoted TO the raising Of sheep, are
the men who have given their prin-
cipal attention to sheep. II pro
perly managed, it is undoubtedly
one Of the Gifcst and most proGta-
ble businesses in which farmers IN
thus State can engage.
Let US hayo a prompt and cheer
fui response from the farmers and
/ breeders.
