Quality of Eggs.

There is great difference in the original
quality OF eggs, and this has much to do
with their capacity for keeping we'll Gen
orally, the best favored eggs are laid ear
" in the season. Then the diet is mostly
grain. After the fowls begin to find
young grass growing, they will pick at
and eat it and of course consume less
grain. In summer much of the food is
grass and insects. These are not good
producing foods, and though a large
number of eggs may be laid, their quality
will not be as good as it is early in the
season. 1t is not the difference caused by
deterioration on account of weather, for
an egg cooked the same day it is laid in
July is generally not so good as one that
is cooked fresh in March or April. Hence
there is good reason why eggs should be
dearer IN early spring. They are better
then, and for their price furnish cheaper
and better food than the same money in
vested in meats. The fact may also ex-
plain one reason why lined eggs are so
generally unsatisfactory. They are alway S
the cheap and poor quality summer eggs.
They are inferior when put up, and can
not be expected to improve by keeping
five or six months, even when air is ex-

Scolding Is Contagious

Scolding is fault all too prevalent in
some families. Even in the households
where the deepest affection for one anoth'
er exists, the different members 1--we IN al
most constant warfare with each other
Neither can this pernicious fault be
shouldered entirely upon the feminine
portion OF the family. The father scoldS
the mother. the mother scolds the father
and both scold the children. Scolding is
mostly habit and is often the result Of
nervousness and an irritable constitution
of mind or body. One is tried or annoy
ed at some trivial cause, and forthwith
commences finding fault with everything
and everybody within reach: This haoi'
is very early formed, and it is astonishing
how soon one becomes addicted to 1t once
ii is INDUCED.
The constant friction of the members OIL
urban society at least teaches the necessi'
ty Of composure of manners and the lutl-
lity of irritation over every little occur
renee that may be calculated to fret one.
Perhaps it will be wise to suspend crit,
cism or conclusion, yet the privilege will
be conceded of generalzlng a bit on Its
relation to the farm family. The country
family is more nearly the world OF thought
and action in which each one of lis mem
bers move than is the case in the urban
family, and any jar in it has deeper sig
nihcance than in the families of the latter.
Scolding is not philosophical, and there
fore not useful and not wise, and the more
isolated the family the more unwlse,

Among the Fruits.

DO not neglect the young orchards that
were set out last tall or spring. Trees
cannot take care of themselves. Young
orchards must be cultivated. Low grow
ing crops may be raised between the rows
OF trees, if it is thought best, but at all
events and in any case tillage' repeated
and thorough, is OF highest importance,
DO not SOW grain or grass crops III Inc
orchard, for they grow so densely ana
shade the soil so that air and sun can ou'
imperfectly work their benetcent lniluen-
ces upon the earth
After blackberries. raspberries, currants,
and other so-caled small fruits have been
cultivated. it will be all right 10 distribute
about the plants and between the rows a
thick mulch. covering the ground a numb
er of inches deep with straw, seaweed'
hav, or ANYTHING of ike nature. The
benefits that accrue from mulching are
manifold. Considerable labor of cultiva-
ton is saved Just when the fruit grover IS
very busy and can i'll afford TO spare the
time. The mulch answers every purpose,
keeping down weeds, rendering soil cool
and moist lust when large quantities OF
moisture are required to perfect fruit and
removing hanging berries from the
earth where they would become solled
and lose quality,
As to training raspberries, many good
cultivators practice pinching back at a
height of eighteen inches or two feet,
Thereby forcing out growth of several
laterals, giving the plant tree shape but
at least one large grower still prefers to let
plants run up one single cane and then IN
spring trim back, by removing one-thlrd
to one-half of each cane. The writer him
self favors the latter method, as he thinks
larger and more vigorous buds are produc-
ed, and furthermore. it i $ easier to get
around among the canes to pick berries
than when there are branches protruding

Farmers who give earnest and intelli'
gent attention to the hay crop will pick up
fortunes as the seasons come and go,
Last year the hay harvest was worth $50
$50 S72, while corn alone exceeded those
figures, the crop being worth S59I, 5,S72
wheat aggregated S2I3,I7I,3SI only and
potatoes sos COL SOL The farmer car
see in this that hay is really the most i'm
portant crop on the average American
farm, as the imports amounted to s59I,
$40 more. BY following profitable lines
the farmer can easily measure up his
chances for an income much higher thar
he now accepts.

Color and Flavor

The relation between color and flavor
in butter is being discussed quite widely
of late by writer's for the dairy journals
and the agricultural papers in general.
The claim has been maintained in special
pleading for the Jerseys and the Huern-
seys by their admirers that the high color
ed butter from their pets carried a flavor
peculiar to the breed and corresponding
to the exceptionally high color OF their
product. All of this was pretty theory
but does it hold true in fact?
That Jersey and Guernsey butter has
characteristics of its own is no doubt true
but flavor is not one OF these. 1t is now
quite generally conceded that flavor is In
dependent of color. and of breed as well.
Color is a characteristic of the individual
COW. and also of breed. 1t is found the
most marked in the Guernsey and the
Jersey breeds. 1t is also modified by the
feed. Flavor is also modified by iced,
and is furthur dependent on the care ana
handling Of the milk and cream 1t mas
long been understood that the Peculiaf
havoring oils of the different meals and
folders carried their characteristic havorS
to the milk which those folders produced J,
and this without distinction OF individual
or Of breed. The further modifying OF
these Aavors through the care and the
handling of the cream has not been so
well understood, Recent studies OF the
matter. however, lead investigators to
claim that these notifications are due to
the presence of bacteria cultured IN the
cream ard that the peculiar characteristics
Of the flavor, as to whether good or bad
is dependent on the kind or quality OF the
ferments present But all this so far dis
closes no Indication that flavor is in any
way connected with tr modified by color
Flavor is still dependent, in its modlhca-
tons. on the kind and quality of feed and
the care Of the. cream. If the dairyman
wants the finest touches Ct flavor in his
product he must give the right kind OF
food, and then handle his cream in regu-
lation order. That delicious aroma VIII
then be present in the butter product
without distinction of color.--Hainf

A Board Mulch.

Good crops of onions have been grown
on a small scale by novel system which
may be called "board culture" One
grower tried the plan last year on patch
of six or eight square rods. The onion
field was prepared in the usual way with
the rows sixteen inches apart. Onion
sets of the large, white varieties were then
pricked out abou, six inches apart in the
rows. Roards foot wide of the same
length as the lows were placed between
the rows, leaving space of four inches
for the onions 10 grow. The labor oil
keeping the plants clean and cultivated
was very light and big yield was gather
ed About 700 feet Of cheap boards were
required. No doubt il the rows had been
only nine or ten inches apart, with six
inch boards between the row, a much
larger quantity could have been grown on
the same land.

The Rights of Poverty.

The rights Of property is an old and
familiar war-cry; the rights of poverty,
though less emphatically proclaimed, is a
claim as imperative and just as the other.
In our new civilization the poverty for
mula receives fresh emphasis, and must
be more and more needed by those who
handle the wealth and make the laws OF
the world. Failure in the struggle OF life
does not extinguish mans rights. The
man who is down has a right to be, and
to be fairly treated by those who are up
and have been elevated it may be, at the
expense of the other. The policy OF
crushing the poor and holding them down
is bad one. and must in some way be
reversed. The wealth of the world must
pay the poor bills But that is NOT enough
The worst thing you can do with the vir-
,uous poor is to shut them up in work
house. You crush the courage ami sell
respect out of them. What is needed is
rehabilitation of their humanity, which
can come only from sympathy and help
ing hand. Set them on their feet and
steady them awhile until they are able to
secure their equilibrium, when, instead OF
remaining dead-weights, they become CO.
operative forces in society. Laws have
too often been made for wealth and power;
they ,,d the millionaire at an advantage.
Law must lean to the side of the poor
man while he is lifting the heavy end of
the log, and minister 10 him courage ana
strength to make long and strong e.
fort to un heave the mass.
Poverty must be utilized, not for the
advantage of the few who can profit by its
services, but for the good of the whole
community. A man is never so worthless
as when tramped under foot OF the crowd.
Pull him up out of the mud, set him on
his feet and let him march again in the
ranks Of the honorable workers. Love of
men, and not of gain, is the lever which
must elevate society. The Lawmakers
must be as careful of the interests of men
as they now are of those of property. We
want a tariff to protect men, and then the
cottons and the wooens would take care
of themselves. In true civilization a
man is more precious than the gold OF
Ophir. Ia.

The farmer who sets out to make his
farm richer is on the right track, but he
will need to be an all-around bushes man
and make the most of every new discovery
in farming. One of these is the use OF
crimson clover to be sown on corn ground
or other hoed crops late in summer and
to be plowed under the following spring.
1t is much better than rye for this purpose,
and the crop is worth more either for
blowing under as green manure or for
feeding to stock. Crimson clover is never
likely to take the place of red clover. Its
use is to grow quickly and cover the sol
in winter when it would otherwise be
wasting by storms and exposure to the
elements.
