progress in caring for our cows dur.

Experiments in Keeping Eggs.

The eggs were all wiped whel
fresh with a rag satusted with some
antiseptic and packed dignity in salt,
bran, etc. Eggs packed during April
and May in salt, and which had been
wiped with COttonseed oil to which
had been added bOracic acid, kept
from four to five months with a loss
of nearly one-third the quality Of
those saved not being good. Eggs
packed in bran, after the same pre-
lminary handling, were all spoiled
after four months. Eggs packed in
salt during March aud April, aud az
ter wiping with Vaseliue, to which
salicylic acid had been added, Kept
four or five months without loss, the
quality after four months being much
Superior to ordinary eggs. These
packed eggs were all kept in the barn
cellar, the ordinary temperature of
each box varying little from 66 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and each box was
turned over one every two days.
Little difference was observed in the
keeping Of the fertile or the infer
tile eggs, and no difference was notice
able in the keeping qualities OF eggs
from different fowls or from those on
different rations.-Report OF the New
York Experiment Station.

Fattening Hogs on Wheat.

In the State of Washington large
per cent OF pork is fattened on wheat
and barley. A very common way Of
feeding is half and half Of wheat and
barley, chopped fine aud mixed with
water to stiff dough. Wheat, how
ever, is considered better feed than
barley. 1t is claimed by farmers IN
that state who have tried it that it
1attens as quick as corn and makes
better pork.
An Illinois farmer who has fed
wheat to hogs quite extensively
claims that hogs at AZ cents per
pound will pay him 81 bushel for
the wheat led them. II any OF our
readers have had experience along
this line, we would like to hear from,
them. With hogs selling at and Z
cents, it seems that this would be a
good time to experiment with feeding
wheat that will only sell for so or go
cents at home. 1t might be found
that it would pay to sell 40 or SO
cent corn and turn the wheat into
pork,

Experience With DehSrned Cattle.

head of dairy cows OF al agee, 10 heGG
of one and two.year-old helfers ana
one two-year-old bull. 1t was accom-
plished in about two boure, by an ex-
pert. They bled very little, probably
not pit all told. There was no per.
ceptible shfiuksge in the milk car
ried to the factory, which shows no
great hardship to cattle. The only
effect Of any account wich l discov-
cred was little more sensi.iveness

healed. saw no diminutiOn in nerv-
Gus energy OF bull. Tie herd will

There is no chasing one another, for
there is nothing to run from. They
are much quieter in their nature, and
much pleasanter to handle.-Ex.

than the variety or the soil, and We
are of much the same opinion. We
know OF a man who Rlwas brings
large berries to market, and makes
the price, while others take what
they can get. Strawberries that are
larger and finer cooking than any
others offered will always sell at
large prices, while inferior or COM
mon fruit often goes begging. The
farmer ought to have for his own
table the best that is going and he
can have big Strawberries at cost If
he wishes.

II is the experience Of successful

1t requires good blood and manage

that March and April pigs should be

A Bankers Story.

At the recent bankers convention
in Chicago Mr. Lyman J. Gage told g
story that shows how much good a
little money will do in hard times
when it is turned loose.
After the panic Of 1878 business in
c. rtain country town was ut a
standstill. There WAS absolutely no
money in circulation. Oae day a
merchant received by express a $lO0
bill from a debtor The merchant
looked at it with interest and curl
osity. Finally, he decided TO pay it to
his creditor, Mr.. Smith. Later in the
day a wagon maker came into the
store and paid 800 on account. The
merchant recognized the same note
that he had paid out in the morning
to Smith, and asked the wagon
maker where he got it. The rrpl,
WAS that Jones had paid it to its last
holder. The note was traced and il
was found that duringa few hours it
had paid six debts OF 500 each ans
hsd come back 10 the store to EQui
date another debt. The next day i
was sent out Gu another successful
mission Of debt paying.
There is not community i'm thu

A Narrow Escape From a Drank.

tram, a tall, well dressed Swede, entered
the home Of James Il. Walker, the chi
cago capitalist, last night, and at the
point of revolver demanded check
for $4,000. Mr.. Walker grappled the
gould-be robber, rushed him TO the
door and kicked him down the steps be-
fore a shot could be fired. The man
FIRST appeared at the front door Of the
Walker residence and asked TO see Mr..
Walker. When Mr.. Walker appeared
the intruder apologized for the disturb
ance and said he was hard up and must
have some money. Mr.. Walker replied
that he could not give him money. At
this NoStram drew revolver and dra-
matically exclaimed: write me check
for $40, 600 and hand it over quick or
I'll put a hole through your heart"
Mr.. Walker apparently failed to APP
preciate the dramatic features OF the
situation, but promptly elected the in
truder and at once telephoned the po-
lice, who soon afterwards had Nostram
under arrest. He has been arrested
before and is regarded by the police as
somewhat OF q crank. At one time be

Dun & Co. s weekly review of trade
says: Consumption increases slowly
and all branches of business are wait
ing Cor its growth. The railroad earn
ings for the month thus far are only 3.9
per cent. less than those Of last year,
the decrease for the latest week being
even smaller in freight earnings.
Trade waits for the revival OF indus
tries and the weeks returns respecting
industrial progress are rather conflict
ing.
a new compact OF the steel rail pro-
ducers, the Pennsylvania and Mary
land, which have been leased to others
in order to keep them idle, has checked
the increase in purchases Of ore and
coal aud other materials at Pittsburg.
New manufacturers are playing haV-
oc with eastern markets though the
prices made in that region are so low
that their continuance cannot be pre-
dcted. There is considerable increase
in the number of concerns In operation,
but there does not appear to be much
gain i'm actual consumption OF pig iron
and prices are as low as ever.
Even ia the Pittsburg district where
business seems more active than else
where the works are not fully employed
and the state OF manufacture is shown
by the return Of Connellsvilie coke fur
naces Of which 6,4s5 are In operation
and IL ,0O5 are Idle, the output being
only 57,755 tons weekly.
The markets for produce have been
irregular.
