Just as would want it to be if were pur-
chasing. If every one would follow that
rule we would get more for our eggs, for
most people buying eggs would be willing
to pay little more were they sure that
every egg was good; but some people are
careless, some are very careless, and with
some it is hard to tell just where careless
ness ends and dishonesty begins.
One of the most important problems is
that of feeding. 1t were easy enough to
tell what is good, but here the question of
economy comes in and complicates matters
seriously. For instance, aim to feed my
hens meat once or twice week during the
dryest part Of the season. Now, am well
aware that porterhouse steak or tenderloin
sausage would be good, but, alas the cost
is too much, SO l have to resort to crack
lings, which cost cents per pound. 1t is
so to some extent with grain. We all
know that No. l article of wheat is good
for hens, but it costs from to IA cents per
pound. Whole barley is now 65 cents and
corn, which most of US raise to sell, Is now
only so cents. Egyptian corn is between
wheat and barley. Potatoes often goes
an excellent feed, but the price in our
local market is cent per pound, which is
rather high. Thus it will De seen that of
the staples wheat is highest and corn
lowest. Now an all corn diet will not do, as
1 know from experience it is too fattening.
Barley the hens DO not seem to relish,
owing perhaps to the boards. Egyptian
corn | have not had much experience with.
The hens and chicks seem very fond Of it.

From New York to Washington.
Last Wednesday evening First Lieut.. G.
W. Stevens, first artillery, left New York
On wheel for Washington. He found the
road as far as Philadelphia in excellent
condition. and made the run to that city
from New York in seven hours and twenty
five minutes. After spending day and a
half in Philadelphia looking over the maps
he started south. The road from Philadel-
phia to Baltimore. by way of Bel Air. was
found to be sandy and very bad owing to
heavy rains. and good time could not be
made. Between Baltimore and Washington
again the road was good. Lieut.. Stevens
arrived in Washington Friday evening last.
He is now engaged in accommodating the
roads in Maryland and Virginia in the VI
entity Of Washington. He is an expert b.
cyclist, and he is using that form of loco
motion altogether in making his obserya-
lions of the wagon roads In this neighbor-
hood. Mount Vernon is one of the first
places to be visited. Lieut.. Stevens is stop
ping with friends at 2115 California avenue,
and will make that his headquarters until
he returns to his station on Governors

President Cleveland Approves Re-
cent Naval Promotions.
Two Big ONES HELD BACK
Capt. Howell and Dr.. kershner Not
in the List.
OTHER PROMOTIONS BLOCKED

The White House mail from the Presi-
dent at Gray Gables this morning contain
ed large number of naval cases that have
been hung up almost ever since the Presi-
dent started on his vacation. Most of the
cases involved the promotion of officers
who had been regularly examined and GER
titled as qualified. The Presidents failure
to act upon them one way or the other has
resulted in a blocking of promotions
throughout the entire service. equally Sc
rious. II not more so. than the stagnation
resulting from the much talked of war
hump" In a great majority of these cases
there was no controversy whatever and
there was never any doubt of their approx
al when the President found 1t convenient
to take them up. These are the cases that
have at last been acted upon. The result
will probably be announced at the Navy
Department this afternoon.
Two Conspicuous Omissions.
Two cases that are conspicuous by their
absence from the list of those returned
from Gray Gables are those of Capt. ]. c.
Howell, commandant of the Washington
navy yard, and Medical Inspector Kersh-
ner. Capt. Howell was examined for pro-
motion to the rank of a commodore. The
question of his professional fitness for the
uASAsI Iduh was pTeSeuleu 10 the exam
lining board and caused division of SEN
timent. The majority report, however, was
in favor Of his promotion. and 1t is under
stood that the report bore Secretary Her.
berts approval when 1t was forwarded to
the President several weeks ago. 1t does
not appear to have been acted upon as
yet, however, and as a consequence all
promotions below the grade of caDtain
are efect1ally blocked Notwithstanding
there Is no imputation whatever against
the ranking officers of the lower grades
Other Promotions Prevented.
1t is said there are other cases nearly as
important where the promotion Of num-
erous deserving officers Is prevented by rea-
son of The delay in executive action The
officials here are somewhat discouraged
over the situation. and 1t has been prac-
tically decided to postpone further examin-
atoms until the present deadlock is broken.
The failure to dispose of the Kershner
case. one way or the other, has effectuaIly
blocked promotions in the medical depart
ment. This officer was court-martialed for
violations of the regulations in giving In
formation to the press, and was sentenced
to dismissal It Is said that Secretary Her
bert recommended leniency on account of
his excellent record. and 1t Is also said that
Mr.. E. c. Benedict of New York has ap-
pealed to the President in his behalf. This
case has been before the President for
nearly two months.
