Managing for Eggs.

When the poultryman has made his
preparations and begun his operations,
he is often disappointed at not receiv-
ing a fair return in eggs for the atten-
ton and care bestowed Poultry Keep-
er says: The majority of failures arise
with those who have given the fowls
all they can eat, and with liberal sup
ply Of ground oyster shells, ground bone,
gravel, fresh water, and green food.
no eggs reward the perseveling poul-
tryman. The cause of failure is, that
the hens are overfed. It is always a
mistake to keep food before them, and
though a variety should be given. care
must be exercised not to feed full
meal except at night. If the food is so
given that the hens will not be salts
fed with the quantity they have re-
ceived, they will hunt for more ana
keep busily at work. This avoids idle
ness and prevents them from pulling
feathers, or becoming too fat. In the
morning the soft food may be given,
but it is best not to give quite enough
rather than a full allowance. Then
scatter but few grains in straw, drt
or litter, and let them go to work
scratching. At night give full meal:
BY keeping the hens warm, busy ana
in moderate condition. they will Lay
well.

Of the best. rs they are fresh <nou9h
for cooking they NH link. Oh lie con-
trary, il the eggs rise to the surface,
air enough has penetrated the shell
to make the egg unfit for use, although
its yelk may look perfect and no odor
can be detected. Decomposition be-
gins when the contents of the shell are
exposed to the external air, and the
fact-of the egg floating in water is proof
positive that it has been lightened by
air. The diyestibility of the hard-boiled
egg is favorite theme. Eggs should
never be actually boiled, as the ex-
tremely high temperature of the water
hardehs and toughens the whites at
once, rendering them indigestfble. It
they are submerged in water just below
the boiling point and kept at that tenn
perature for one-haf hour they will
be almost as digestible as raw eggs.
A good rule to cook eggs for invalids
is to pour boiling water into a tin pail
having tight cover; put the egg in
the pail. carefully, cover it tightly and
let it stand entirely away from the hre
for five minutes The whites Of the egg
cooked in this manner will be perfectly
coagulated, soft, tender and easily as.

House-Grown Cucumbers.

It is now quite common to grow GU
cumbers in greenhouses around the
city. The style of greenhouse is about
the same as used by florists for forcing
flowers. commonly called three-fourthss
span. some eighteen feet wide, USED
all winter for forcing lettuce, say,
Along in March young cucumber
plants are set out iii the center bencn
and the lettuce crop cleared away.
These beds are some eight or ten feet
in width, and the cucumber plants are
set in single rows all around the pea.
A common frame of Stats is built STOP
ing to the center, high enough to per-
nit the entrance of a man beneath TO
attend or cut the fruit. On this trelils
the vines are trained, the cucumbers
hanging down, and thusc oming even
and straight. At this writing the
whole frame work is covered with lux
uricus foliage and fruit, and, OF course,
has many advantages over the Old
fashioned hot-bed methods OF growing.

on to the end of winter; then the GU
cumbers until they come in from the

us something about eggs. Eggs should

A Rascally Policy.

The maple sugar laboratory at
Montpelier, VT, has been closed for
the season, having weighed for in
spection 3,750,702 pounds, most of
which passed the test required to
earn the bounty. The amount of
this bounty will be about $72, 900,
nearly all of which goes to raisers
in Vermont. Exactly why the
farmer who has a sugar grove"
should be paid a bounty by those
who have not for making money
out of it still remains to be shown.
Will any reader of the Moon tell
us the difference in principle of
taxing the people of the United
States to pay a bounty to make it
more profitable to the man who
bores hole in a maple tree, catches
the sap therefrom and boils it into
sugar, than for the government to
purchase 100000 ounces of silver
bullion per month to enrich the
silver mine owners? 1t is a rascal
ly policy; it has no basis in justice
and equality; it Is essentially pro-
lection. 1t is nothing but McKin-
leyism in a varied form.-Battle

Pension Certificates Issued.

A statement prepared at the Pen

April 1 last, when the present adj
ministration Of the bureau that took
formal direction its affairs, and July
/, 1904 original certificates of all
kinds were issued. Of these 2,354
were invalid certificates under the

ows' certificates under said act
making total of II ,297 original
certificates issued under the act OF
June 81, 1890, for the first three
months of Democratic power. 1t is
also shown that there were issued
1850 additional pensions under the
act of June 27, 1890, making {
grand total of 1905 certificates
issued under the act of June 81
1890, during the first three months
of Democratic control of the Pen.
sion Bureau.
The total number of original GER
ti6cates of all kinds issued during
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1893
was 121 1928, Of which 09,207 were
under the act of June 81, 1890
and 244 were issued to army nurses
There were also issued during tn,

That Wool Scare.

The Republican press of Michi-
gan continues to harp about the low
price of wool and disregarding the
fact that the Mckinley tariff is
still protecting" that commodity,
it seeks to show that the decline in
price is due to a Democratic adj
ministration. The News has here
tofore shown that the price of wool
has been declining ever since the
Mckinley tariff went into effect
and the cause of the decline is plain.
Of the 600,000,000 pounds we
annually consume, we raise in
America only 260,000,000 pounds.
The other 340,000,000 pounds is
made up of imported wool and
wooden fabrics and home made
shoddy. The foreign wool is abso-
lutely necessary in wooden manu-
featuring because of its quality,
which cannot be duplicated at
home; and when the American
manufacturer is compelled by a
tariff to pay more for the foreign
wool he must have, in order to COM
pete with his foreign rival, even in
the American market, he uses as
little American wool as possible,
paying as little as possible for it
and making up the difference by
substituting shoddy to mix with
the foreign wool.
The history of the wool tariff
shows that it has benefited nobody
except the dealers in shoddy. II
has been marked:
1. BY a large increase in the i'm
portation of foreign wool.
2. BY decrease in the number
of sheep in all states east of the
Mississippi.
3. BY u marked decline in the
price of American grown wool.
1. Ryan astounding increase is the
production of shoddy, so that the
shoddy product is equal for manu-
featuring purposes to the wool pro-
duct of 100000 sheep.
The wool grower is injured and
the manufacturer is injured, while
the consumer has either to pay a
higher price for clothing or be put
off with an inferior quality made up
largely of shoddy.
Is is not about time to give free
wool a trial?-Saginaw News.
