TESTING THE EGGS.

This Operation.

This is very important process

1t occurs frequently that eggs are fer
tile but the germ is so weak that it
will seldom live after the tenth day.
Eggs should be tested on the fourth or
fifth dav and again on the tenth day.
Leghorn, Minorca and Houdan eggs
can be tested satisfactorily 20 or 4s
hours after placing them in the incu-

shelled eggs cannot be satisfactorily
tested until the seventh day unless one
is an expert and very good egg-tester
is used. u strong germ, says writer,
will show a small black spot with red
veins radiating in all directions. Added
eggs will show cloudy detached black
spots floating in the egg without any
veins attached. A red circular line
will be found in stale eggs. The latter
must be removed or foul odors will be
the result. An unfertile egg is per
fectly clear and will be nearly as good
as fresh-laid eggs for cooking purposes.

RAISING CALVES.
1t Il What Every Wide-Awake Farmer
Should Do.


Should Do.
Farmers who sell or ship their milk
usually raise few calves, thinking it is
cheaper TO buy cows than it is to raise
them. But are we as apt to get as good
cows? If farmer sells cows it is his
poorest ones he wants to dispose of.
Whereas. if we raise our own cows we
raise the calves from our best cows,
and by using blooded bull we stand
a fair chance of improving our daily
herd. As to feeding calves, it is not
necessary to feed them much milk. We
have good success in feeding por-
ridge made of cornmeal, ground buck
wheat, wheat bran and linseed meal,
mixed <nd proportional as follows:
-Four quarts corn meal, four quarts
wheat bran, two quarts ground buck
wheat, and about two handfuls of lin
seed meal. We begin using about one
heaping tablespoonful for each mess;
make the porridge with water, add d
pinch of salt and one quart of sweet
milk. Increase the amount of grain as
the calf grows older. Care should be
taken not to get the calves too fat.
When raising calves for cows they
should be fed just enough to keep
them growing az in good flesh. but
not too fat Caves kept fat while
growing are not rs apt to make as
good cows as those that are just
kept in good g.owing condition.-N.

is well known fact that the people

is well known fact that the people
who are least able to pay any interest
whatever are invariably compelled TO
pay the very highest rates for the
small loans they. secure by placing
chatel mortgages upon their personal
property. In some instances they part
with from 100 to 200, per cent interest
in order to procure the money cruel
necessity compels them to have.
A fund of $4,000 is needed to start
the bureau, and Banker Camp has al
ready expressed his willingness to con-
tribute generously. Rabbi Hecht, J.
Z. j. Campbell and Howard Green, Of
Milwaukee. have undertaken the task
of raising the fund, which will be loan
ed on the lines followed by similar loan
bureaus in New York and Boston. 1t
is proposed to make each subscriber to
the fund member of the board of di-
rectorc and to pay him 6 per cent in
terest on all the money he advances.
The rate charged the first year will
be per cent a month, which seems
rather high at first thought, but is a
rate much less than the poor pay now.
The second year, it is hoped, the
bureau will be able to reduce the rate
charged to l per cent a month or II
per cent a year. the sum that is
charged in New York and Boston. The
bureau will be made self sustaining,
and will be run ON strict business prin-
ciples.
In 1885 Mr.. Camp organized what is
known as the Charity Relief associa-
ton and donated $4,000, part of the
income from which has been used as
gifts or loans to deserving poor Of
Milwaukee. The money is disbursed
by Agent Frellson of the Associated
Charities of Milwaukee and has done
great deal of good. Mr.. Camp located
in Milwaukee in 1852, and has since
made reputation as one of the ablest
financiers in the West. For eleven
years he was president of the First
National Bank of Milwaukee.

BROOKLYN MAYORALTY.
GrOut Fighting His Claim In the
Courts.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The muddle
incident to the canvass of the vote in
Brooklyn came up before Justice Gull
len in the supreme court of Kings coun-
ty today, on an order to show cause
why a mandamus should not issue
compelling the board of aldermen ami
the county board of supervisors to go
back of the election returns and can
vass the alleged defective ballots.
Counsel for the aldermen and super
visors were not ready to proceed with
the argument, and the case was ad-
journed until o'clock tomorrow after
noon. Counsel for Mr.. Grout, the
Democratic candidate for mayor,
moved that a stay be granted restrain
ing the aldermen and supervisors from
proceeding with the count until the
question of a mandamus should be de-
cided, but Justice Cullen refused to
grant the order for stay, saying that
no possible harm could result from al
lowing the canvassing of the returns
to proceed.
