The flavor of hens eggs will vary at times and depends largely upon their which goes to make the egg, perhaps within Fl hours, must carry with it to some extent it's own qualities, good or bad. Actual experience corroborates the fact. If we feed laying hen onions we can taste them quite strongly in the egg, the same as milk from COW that is fed on cabbage or turnips will taste of them. The same may be said of eggs that are from stale, unhealthful and im- pure food; although fresh, will be un- hcalthful to eat, while those from clean grain, fresh meat, pure water and clover grass will be pure and healthful.

Replying to a query, Il correspondent gives the Country Gentleman readers his views on hog feeding. Turnips assist in the digestion of other foods and, when allowance is made for this, the Swede turnips may be considered orth 20 cents per 100 pounds or 10 cents per bushel. Hogs will keep in healthier condition with q mixture of turnips in the ration. Ten pounds of turnps to each hog per day is enough with other food. Mix one fifth wheat bran and four tifths barley meal. This will assist in balancing the ration and increasing the gain. Bran is more nitrogenous than barley meal and will assist in giving larger proportion of lean meat, which will increase the val
 ue of the carcass for the home market.

An interesting discovery has been made in the mounds of the Little Miami valley, Ohio, in four specimens of the "Swas- tica" cross, made from beaten copper. They were found g feet below the sur face, with alternating layers of compact clay and coarse gravel and connect our early people with those of Europe and Asia. For the Swastica has been found sculptured on rocks in Scandinavia; Dr Schliemann found them under the ruins of Troy; it is found on the heart of the statues of Buddha, in Thibet and Mongolia; it was favorite mark on the mumInies of Egypt of the earliest dynas- ties. The four arms of the Swastica, bent at right angles, are said to be in timately related to Pythagorean and HermetiC secrets.

A writer in the Stockman claims to have raised 60 bushels of onions upon F square rods of ground, or at the rate of 800 bushels per acre, without any man. ure being applied. IL was upon an old pasture W hich had not becu plowed for 20 years and in a corner which had been a favorite standing place for cattle. Naturally it was very rich, as such stamping places are and the earth was very firm. It was completely inverted with the blow and the upper surface thoroughly pulverized and made mellow with a fine-tooth harrow, about two inches deep. This gave just the right condition for a seed bed and the onions grew vigorously, although not sown un- til May If. Some of the onions weighed a pound each.

''There are 30 colored men," says the Philadelphia Press, Sin the priesthood of the Protestant Episcopal church of America. The oldest congregation of colored people belonging to this denomi- nation is St Thomas's church, Philadel- phia, now worshipping at Twelfth street, below Walnut, which was founded near ly century ago, during the episcopate of Bishop White, who was the first bish- op of Pennsylvania and the first Ameri- eau consecrated in England. Probably the most learned and distinguished col ored man in the Episcopal ministry is the Rev Alexander Crummel, D. D., D. c. L., who has been hOnored by the Uni versity of Oxford, England. For many years, he has been the rector of St Luke's church, Washington, D. C. and is re- spected by all who know him for his pro- found scholarship and exemplary life."

Skirts are trimmed either with two small hOuuccs about two inches wide, or with two pulled nouuccs. These can be added with good effect to black silk gown and headed with little edging of passameuterie. The Coat-skirt costume popular for three seasons will come on again with milder weather. The coat will be longer in the back than last year and half fitting in front and lined with bright colored but light silk Innings. The skirt will continue bell shaped and will be unlincd; being made of sufli- ciently heavy material to make that practical. The fashion of wearing hats, no matter what the age of the wearer, continues. The nineteenth century wo- man seems to have determined to be com fortable and that is one of the best signs we have of the progress of the age.- The Courant's $ Observer.

Hustler that Chicago is, it hustles it's typhoid fever death rate altogether too fast. It had 1907 typhoid fever deaths, last year and 3ll, last month, whereas dirty, wicked New York, with popula- tion half again larger, only averages 374 typhoid fever deaths yearly. The cause Is not far to seek, for Chicago has been running it's sewage into Lake Michigan and then drinking the mixture and, al- though Chicago's pumping works have been moved farther out into the lake, it will be necessary to turn the sewage in some other direction, or Chicago may have au epidemic and Worlds Fair on hand at the same time.
