SteriIity in Eggs.

In regard to sterile eggs, R. w. Davidson,
editor of the Poultry Department of the
Epitomist, SAYS: Where incubation is
carried on on a large scale, it will be no
small item to feed up the lnfertile eggs
We do not like hard boiled eggs mixed
with the feed; q very little is good, but too
much is not. At the large duck farms,
where thousands of eggs are set every
month, all eggs are tested on the fifth or
sixth day of incubation, and the unfertile
ones are sold for culinary purposes. We dis
pose of our unfertile eggs in the same way
they being just as good for that purpose
as any," [ have been testing eggs for ten
years, adds Mrs. May Taylor, in the Fan
ciers Monthly, but never tried to eat one
or use one for culinary purposes until this
season, neither did l ever sell one, neither
have / fed them to the chicks after the
first or second seasons trial, for with me
they proved failure as chick food, not
only the sterile eggs but eggs fresh from
the nest, but have for the past few wears
thrown them away with the bad eggs;
but hereafter they shall go on the market
at market price, and / will sell them with
a clear conscience, and the assurance that
whoever buys them will not have to
scramble them if they want fried eggs.
There is always a dark object in the
freshest egg which is the yelk. A novice
must learn the difference before he dis
cards any. 1t will not take much expert
menting to learn which is sterile and
which has developing chick in the early
stages of growth inside the shell.

DENTISTS TO ENTERTAIN.
The StomatoIogicaI Club Will Tender
Its Rooms to the State Dental
Association.

The Stomatological Club held its last
members decided to make the club a re-
ception committee to entertain the visitors
at the convention of the State Dental AS
ISOLATION.
During the session of the convention,
which lasts four days, beginning July 9, the
clubrooms at 235 Post street will be ten
dered the visitors as headquarters.
The Stomatological Club was organized
over wear ago as the DENTAL Club" 1t
was formed to enable the dentists OF San
Francisco 70 meet and entertain the mem
pers of their profession who came to visit
the Midwinter Fair.
So much good and so great fellowship
was developed that after the fair the club
was continued. Each Tuesday afternoon
was set aside for clinics. Then the MEM
bers of the club brought the extraordinary
cases that came under their consideration
to the club rooms for operation and in the
evening the clinics were discussed.
The wider scope of the club made the
name Dental, " meaning pertaining to the
teeth insufficient. Dental surgery of to-
day requires treatment of every part of the
mouth and the organs near it. Therefore
the name of the organization was changed
1t was made the "Stomatological Club"
and was incorporated with the following
directors:
VIM. J. Younger president; Russell H.
rotary, Thomas Morffew, treasurer. A. f.
Merriman Jr., J. A. w. Lundborg and L..
A. league.
The club will resume its clinics early in
August after its members have returned
from their vacation.

Our Northern Fruit Lands.

J. B. Darlington of Oakland has re-
turned from trip through the northern
fruit districts, during which he has en-
ioyed a good opportunity to see and to
Judge, says the Oakland Enquirer. He
left on the 25th of May and went up to
Marysville on the east side of the valley,
where he began visiting orchards. From
Marvsville to Redding he visited nearly
every orchard of any Importance, and
coming down on the west side of the valley
he did the same through Shasta, Tehama,
Colusa, Yolo and Solano counties. Mr..
Darlington gives it as the result of his OBJ
servations that there will be one-third of
a crop of pears, and of apricots very
small crop indeed. There will be big
crop of fine peaches, while the crop of
almonds is fair and that of apples good.
This northern region, says Mr.. Caring
ton. is one of the best fruit districts in the
State. It is especially the home of the
peach, the pear, the prune and the apricot.
There have been great areas planted to
fruit in the last five years, but there are
still good chances for industrious men.
Good unim proved land can be bought at
81 to $35 per acre, and the very choicest
can be purchased for $50. When it comes
to improved land the prices vary accord
ing to the fancy or the needs of owners.
but there are many chances to buy cheap
if one will only look around and find them.
AS an example, Mr.. Darlington saw one
place of twenty acres, improved with barns
and outhouses, which was held at S4S0O,
but even at this price the owner was able
to show that the property paid Is per cent.

Putzker Backs Gayley.

Albin Putzker, professor of the German
language at the university, in a letter to a
local paper yesterday, stated that he
agreed to a great extent with Professor
Charles Mills Gayley in his address before
the last graduating class of the Berkeley
High School,
The address of Professor Gayley stirred
up considerable feeling among his hearers
and he was charged with being too hard
on the people of California and also of
being discourteous to his audience.
In Professor Putzker's letter he said in
part with regard to utilitarian education
which was the strongest point taken by
Professor Gayley;
is given in these days to an esteem of
wealth and luxury unequaled in modern
history, and | should not wonder if some
day the minis produced silver dollar with
the inscription, In This God We Trust,
as 4 warning 10 man that he is in danger
of worshiping at the shrine of the golden
calf
THE so-called practical studies are often
least practical; they lead to an eternal
craving for increased material possessions,
and take away great possibilities of mind
and heart. When persons thus practi-
cally' educated happen to go to legisla-
lures or other responsible places, do they
serve lofty ideals or do they think Of per-
sonal profit?'
Gates on the Local.
Gates, such as are used on the local pas
senger trains, Will be put into use on the
Berkeley local. About three months ago
the company considered the ACCESSIBILITY
of putting gates on the trains, but the
matter was temporarily dropped.

Low Prices Have a Lesson.

An Iowa friend said the other day, speak
ing about last years drouth, that he con-
sidered it had been a blessing in disguise,
so many farmers had been compelled to
provide deep wells and windmills. Even so
do we feel inclined to believe that the
present low butter prices may prove a
blessing if they will arouse the farmers
from their happy go-lucky system to one
OF plain. everyday business principles.
High prices have allowed system where
the seven lean cows swallowed the profit
of the seven fat ones, but, as we said the
other day, low prices will compel US to de-
mand $50 pounds OF butter, or more, from
each COW.
And to do this it is necessary to keep
track of each cows yield. Instead of do
ing this, we regret to say, there is a ten
dency among the patrons of creameries
and cheese factories to economic at the
wrong end. They cannot but see the ne
cessity of reducing the cost of production,
and at once commence reducing the cost
OF manufacturing by hiring cheap makers
and buying cheap supplies.
Granted. even, that these attempts at
economy do not result in heavy loss
(Which they generally do) the reduction
will only amount to half cent or cent
per pound of butter, and quarter or half
q cent per pound of cheese.
On the other hand, by careful testing
and wedding of the herds and by small
addition of grain fed, the average can cas-
lily be brought up from $50 pounds to $50
pounds of butter per COW, and the cost of
production thus reduced or cents.
This has been demonstrated again and
again by the fact. reported by practical
farmers in these columns.
Truths cannot be repeated too often,
and we appeal to those of our readers who
have been keeping an account during the
past season to report the result, irrespec-
tive whether they have reached the $50
pounds standard which our friend Shearer
has raised unto himself, or even the more
modest $50 pounds standard = Hoard's
Dairyman.

Cultivation of Flax.

AS the fax industry is engaging much
attention from farmers in various parts Of
California and the West generally these
suggestions from Charles R. Dodge,
special agent of the National Agricultural
Department for fiber investigations, will
be read with interest:
Something more is required to set the
fax industry on its feet than for body
of farmers to undertake to grow the plant
Tor fiber. There is necessity for class
of skilled workers who will come between
the farmer and the manufacturer in car
rylng on the operations of retting and
scutching. 1t is futile to expect the
farmer to ret and scutch his flax; it is not
done IN any OF the lax countries except
Russia. AS the case now stands the
farmer is hardly in position to grow flax
save in an experimental way, until he is
sure of a market and the manufacturer or
spinner is not in position to make offers
of purchase or to name price, because he
is not sure of the quality that our farmer
can produce, and he must have fax of a
certain grade for his mills.
This state Of affairs, while not encourag-
ing on the surface, does not mean that
there is to be deadlock, or that Ameri-
can fax is doomed. 1t means that what a
few isolated farmers cannot do alone must
be accomplished by the establishment of
little local industries. That is to say,
that cultivation of fax for fiber must be
communal. Let me explain. Small scutch-
mills must be established in neighbor-
hoods where fax can be successfully grown
and farmers must agree to cultivate few
acres of fax of certain quaiity-under
the direction of the mill managers if need
be, to get the necessary standard. Fine
flax can be grown in the United States,
provided the farmers grow it intelligenty
and perseveringly-not one year. or two
or three, but year after year, growing each
year a little and growing it well.

THE GRAssHoPPER PEST NOW.
Its RaVages Have Been Confined to
Few Small Areas Here
and There.

Survival of the fittest is the law of bust
ness and trade, remarks Colmans Rural
World. 1t is natures law. Poor farmers
will be squeezed to death. There is no
way to prevent it. The poor merchant
goes down, and the shiftless mechanic
never gets ahead; the same rule must
work with the tiller of the soil.
Word has been received that in few
spots in the northern part of the county
the grasshoppers are playing havoc with
the grape crop. One gentleman from
above Cloverdale said that his grape crop
would not be one-third of what it was last
year owing to the ravages of this pest.
They seem to be confined to but few
small areas.-Santa Rosa Star.
Grasshoppers are in force on DR.. Robin
sons ranch on the MERGED River, says the
MERGED Star. They have stripped the
flower garden of everything green, and are
at present feasting on the alfalfa field.
Thus far the orchard has escaped, but their
appearance there is looked for at any mo-
ment.
