purpose of deciding upon a line of pol.
icy in dase there be an effort to take
UP the currency question in the senate.
They agreed that a definite and final
conclusion could not be reached until
some new measures had been brought
to their attention by the Democratic
members of the committee. They will
not suggest a bill themselves, nor sug-
gest anything looking to the per6ec-

chat the Republicans do not consider the

Ut a question of revenue rather than
currency. 1t is Said that new cur.

Testing Eggs.

This is a very important process.
Contrary to what some people expect,
all eggs will not hatch. The percent
age of hatch is the number of chick
ems from the fertile eggs, not from the
number of eggs placed in the machine.
1t occurs frequently that eggs are
fertile, but the germ is so weak that il
will seldom live after the tenth day.
Eggs should be tested the fourth or
fifth day and again on the tenth day.
Leghorn, Minorca and Houdan eggs
can be tested satisfactorily twenty
six or forty-eight hours after placing
them in the incubator, but Brahma
and other dark-shelled eggs can not be
satisfactorily tested until the seventh
day, unless one is an expert and very
good egg tester is used. A strong germ
will show a small black spot with red
veins radiating in all directions. Adj
died eggs will show cloudy, detached
black spots floating in the egg without
any veins attached. A red color line
will be found in stale eggs. The lat
ter must be removed or foul doors will
be the result. An nnfertile egg is per-
fectly clear, and will be nearly as good
as fresh-laid eggs for cooking purposes.
On the tenth or twelfth day the chick
begins to move. and the eggs become
more and more clouded. On the eight
zenith day the egg is entirely Opaque.
except the small space called the air
cell The latter varies in size accord
ing to the larger or smaller amount of
moisture used during incubation. By
setting eggs under hen at the same
time as eggs are set in incubators, and
comparing them every few days, an
excellent idea can be obtained OF the
proper size of this air-cell.-Farmer's

DEEP FLOWING.
One of the Means of Restoring Apparently
Lost Fertility.

One OF the Means OF Restoring Apparently
Lost Fertility.
Deep blowing brings to the surface
for fertilization, by the action of the
elements, soil that has been lying DOR
mant for ages. Earth brought to the
surface from depth of several feet in
the earth is soon converted into pro-
ductive soil by the action of the ele-
ments. Deep blowing, therefore,
makes the soil rich as deep as plowed.
A thin soil may be made deep by deep
plowings and subsoiling; by loosening
the soil by use of the sub-soil pillow,
the surface soil is washed down by
rains and becomes incorporated with
sub-soil, making a rich, deep soil, more
valuable for all purposes than a thin
soil.
Plant food exists in the earth to q
great depth. The roots of many
plants go down to a depth of many
feet. Lucerne, it is said. will send its
roots to the depth of ten to twenty
feet. The various elements of plant
food found in the earth are attracted
to the surface in the greatest quanti-
ties by keeping the soil mellow to a
good depth, and this is done by deep
blowing and subsoiling. Besides the
plant food obtained in the earth there
is also stored in the air large amount
OF plant food, the use of which by
plants is greatly facilitated by keeping
the soil loose and moist. Deep plow-
ing, therefore, favors the appropriation
of plant food under all possible condi-
tions of soil and air.
By keeping the soil loose to a good
depth, the loss of crops in extremes Of
season will be avoided. In seasons of
drought, moisture is maintained by
an en- and mellow soil, and when
excessive rains prevail the water
passes away readily from the roots Of
the growing crops. Deep blowing,
therefore, is great advantage under
all circumstances. and at all times
While shallow blowing not only fails
to produce good crops in a general
way, but if practiced any length OF
time, will result in rendering the soil
unproductiye, and this condition will
be increased from year to year until
paying yields can no longer be real
lied. In shallow blowing the soil is
simply turned over, and will soon be-
come as compact as before plowed.
BY repeated tramping by the team
the sub-soil becomes hard and is i'm.
penetrable by rains, leaving an excess
of moisture to injure the plants by re-
naming in contact with their root.
and SO preventing growth.
The action of the air on the soil pro-
duces no desirable effect and moisture
and plant food can not be attracted to
the surface from depths below. All
crops require moisture and must be
supplied with the needed amount Of
plant food, and mellowness of the soil
| insures both.-Southern Farm.
