he came up to the fair and learned at the

at Stones Corners seemed fat, stale and

Farmer Fenner wanted to quit the
postal service and get back to his native

signed. He sent his letter to Washing

sent another and waited, but still no an

THE EGG SHELL THEORY.
Color a Test of the Glass OF Fowl, Not of
the Quality OF the Egg.

Color Test of the Glass OF Fowl, Not Of
the Quality of the Egg.
The idea entertained by some people
that brown shelled egg is richer than
a white shelled egg is, writes Ten
nessee correspondent of The Southern
Cultivator, simply theory that has no
foundation in fact. The color OF the
shell is no indication whatever as to
the condition of the contents inside,
whether rich or poor.
The color of shell does, however,
give us pointer as to the kind of hen
that laid the egg. There are two dis
tinct classes. or varieties, of hens OF
which there are many different strains
and many intermediate grades. They
are known as the Asiatic and the Med.
iterranean classes. The former is the
large, feather legged type, to which be-
long the Brahmas, Cochins and Lang
shans. The Mediterranean class COM
prises the Leghorns, Spanish, Minorcas,
etc. The former, or Asiatic class, lay
very dark shelled eggs, while the latter
lay clear, white shelled eggs. The
Asiaties are this hatchers, the hens be-
ing very much given to sitting. The
Mediterranean type are more persist
emit layers and less inclined to sit.
To the intermediate class belong such
pure bred varieties as the Plymouth
Rocks and Wyandottes, better known as
the American breeds. Hens of these
two varieties lay light brown shelled or
cream colored eggs. According to the
shell theory, their eggs should be sort
of happy medium between the Asiatics
and Meiiterraneans in quality and
flavor.
Then there are the good old common
hens. They are all of mixed blood Of
no distinct class, and the shells Of
their eggs vary in color from light
brown to creamy white, never quite
as dark brown as the pure Asiatics, nor
80 white as those of the pure bred Med
iterraneans.
Unlike the shell, however, the yolk
of the egg is pretty good indication of
its richness. Hens that have plenty Of
grass and insects lay the richest, dark
yolked eggs, whereas those deprived of
green food and meat lay eggs with pale
yolks that are thin In albumen also and
not very nutritious. Plenty of insects
or fresh meat make rich eggs.

Cultivation Of Flax.

In this country fax has hitherto been
grown chiefly for the seed, but little
attention being paid to the quality OF
the fiber. Whether 1t would pay to
grow it for the latter can only be de-
termined by experiment. 1t is probable
that market for the fiber could be
found in Germany, as suggested by the
United States consul general at Frank
fort.
Special attention is being directed to
fax culture in Manitoba. A few months
ago a special commissioner was sent
across the Atlantic to learn how fax is
grown, dressed and manufactured in
Europe. He visited Ireland for this pur-
pose, and then extended his inquiries to
Belgium and other places on the CONT
nent.

describing all green foods, says the Ohio
Farmer. Grass IN pasture has over Is
parts water IN 100; gtttn corii fodder has
8, parts: red clover before blossoming
has 80 parts, while sugar beets have 81
parts water. This water in grass. green
corn fodder, bcets, ETC., is just what is
needed to keep up the milk flow. a mod
crate ration of beets promotes the health
of the COW by their cooling and relaxing
effect; they aid digestion and greatly in
crease the value of dry food fed with
them. and are thus beneficial to fatten-
ing animals as well as increasing the
milk flow in cows. Silage is the cheapest
form in which to supply this succulent
feed, and roots come next. Beets are best
in late winter and early spring. Feed a

Oxen For Farm Work.

A correspondent of The Country Gen
tleman says: l am of opinion that most
farmers who have over 90 acres of ara
BILE land would find it greatly to their
interest to keep span of horses and a
yoke of young, active oxen. A yoke of
oxen between A and years of age, where
a horse team was kept, would do oil the
extra work on the farm ON feed of hay,
cornstalks and pasture without any
grain at all. At 8 years old, when they
begin to grow sluggish. they could be
sold to the butcher for enough to buy
yoke of 4-year-olds to supply their place
on the farm. A span of old horses when
they get pest ps otitable work cannot be
sold except for a pittance.
