The Poultry and Egg Indu stry.

The census report for 1890 shows the
value of eggs produced annually to be
over 500, Coos 600, while the value of
poultry chickens, turkeys, ducks and
geese) amount to about the same. Or,
to make it plain, the total annual pro-
duction of poultry and eggs amounts
to $500, 100000. At the present prices
of wheat, the poultry and eggs are the
more valuable, and the market is here
at home. 1t is safe to say that the re-
port does not include ell, as large
number of persons were not visited
during the enumeration of poultry and
eggs, but the figures are sufficient to
enable those interested to arrive at a
partial knowledge of the poultry and
egg production. In single decade
the poultry and eggs of the United
States amount to enough to pay off
our national debt, and the money in
vested in that direction finds its way
into all other business channels.

selling Eggs at High Prices.

After collecting the eggs for two or
three days from large number of
hens, place them together and exam
inc them closely. They will appear Of
different sizes, colors and shapes.
Now assert them in different lots, and
note the great change that has APP
peared. Each lot will be somewhat
uniform, and viii also be more attrac-
tive, while before they were assorted
they possessed no advantages in APP
pearance over eggs that may not be SO
fresh or desirable. The way to secure
prices is to improve the appearance.
Attractiveness is an important feature
in selling, and applies to eggs as well
as to anything else. Uniformity of
size and color may be secured by as
sorting the eggs and selling each lot
separately, which viii induce a great
deal higher prices.-Farm and Fire

PIGEONS FOR PROFIT.
Experience of Man who Has Made the
Rusfneas a Success.


My management to get the most
profit at the least outlay has been as
follows: / aim to have only mated
pairs and never to break them up.
There should only be as many pairs as
can have two nesting places each, safe
from disturbance by the others. Those
that have chosen nests and have used
them for breeding will generally de-
fend and hold them for life. They
often have eggs in one nest while
feeding squads in the other. Young
as any yellow down shows on the
head, but the best time to kill them is
when they are feathered out, and just
before they are ready H. leave the nest.
If too young, they are soft; if they fly
any, they get thin. They should be
collected every week, or two weeks at
least. If eggs are broken in the
spring, all may be brought to lay at
about the same time, and squads will
be nearly the same in age.
If it is desirable to increase the num-
Der of old birds, the late reared ones,
if allowed to remain, cause less dis
turbance, as they are not likely to
mate before spring. Early reared
birds may be more hardy, but they
soon mate and fight for nests at q
time when there is the most breed
ing; several may demoralize the whole
loft and cause much loss of eggs and
young. They are also more apt to
seek home elsewhere. If near stores
and mills where much grain is spilled,
but little feed will be needed, but feed
given them makes them attached to
their home, and is as well invested as
when fed to chickens for market.
Taxidermists use many white pigeons,
but of late pay so little for them that
it is more profitable to sell them as
squads.
Dry pigeon manure may be sold at
tanneries for sixty to seventy-fve
cents per bushel, delivered, if free
from straw and grit. The loft need
not be clesnsed of this but once in
several years. The time to cleanse il
is in winter, when the birds have
ceased to breed.
Keep your loft clear of all but mated
birds, have double compartments well
secluded for each pair of nests, and
market all the squads before they fly.

FOR HOUSEWIVES.

DON'T put Q bright colored carpet into a room where the furniture is dull, old or of neutral tints.
 DON'T have chandeliers or hanging lamps with rooms of low ceiling; use side brackets in such cases.
 DON'T furnish north room in blue or any other cold color; something of a warm tint should be chosen.
 DoN'T hang heavy portiere over 6 narrow door; generally speaking, hang ings are out of place ill a small house, or with small rooms.
 DON'T fill the center of the room, un- less there is plenty of space on all sides; nothing offends good taste so seriously as the sense of being ''clut- tered up"
 DON'T have too much of one kind of decoration in the house; two rooms upon the sarac general pattern are quite enough-an individual scheme for each apartment is better.
 DON'T usc all your kindness and gal lantry away from home. and let the unpleasantness manifest itself in the family circle; try the other course for Q time, and see how that will work Household.

The sleeves were bound with a wide band of green velvet. There was also wide band of the same above the elbow. Near the body was Q fine abalone shell, a shoe brush ketchup bottle and jack knife. On the inside of the band of his pants was the name Felipe Lopez stitched in with black silk thread.

 The promoters of the '49 Mining Camp at the Midwinter Exposition have made Strcnous but fruitless efforts to secure from tho State the cabin in which lived James w Marshall, the discoverer of gold in California. The cabin is located at Colona, Eldorado County, and the government will not permit of its being removed. However, the wis itors to the '49 Mining Camp will see a fac-simile of the cabin and its Isabelle grape vine surrounds. All the interesting and important inn plements owned by Marshall have been gathered and will be exhibit ed in his cabin in the mining camp. There is his saddle, a quaint, old hand sewed and made affair; then there is his level, compass, an anvil and score of other things made by himself. This show will be most interesting.
