PRIVATE DAIRY,

The creamery is all right in its
place, but the private dairy is at home
or can be made so on any well man
aged farm. Private dairying for mar
ket purposes has n range of adaptabi.
ity far beyond that OF the creamery,
and the output of private dairies is in
creasing faster than that of crenmeries
ever did. Those who declare that
dairy farming is doomed are away off
in their conclusions. They are multi
plying as they never did before. Tue
Southwest is developing this branch
of agriculture rapidly, and as people
learn it's requirements and merits it
will grow in Importance and in favor.
When man can control his own
products, and learns the best methods
of production, dairying will become
more popular. Texas Ranch.

COST OF EGGS.

Estimates have placed the ccst of
one dozen eggs at as high figure as
twelve cents, but some expsrimenters
find the cost to be six cents. AT the
experiment stations, where every
pound of food is weighed, aud but lit
tie waste material can be used, the
cost is greater than the average on the
farms.
1t has long been accepted among
poultrymen that five pecks of corn or
wheat, or the equivalent thereof, will
maintain laying hen one year. At
present prices this would be about
sixty-iive cents year. We do not be-
lieve that the cost is SO much when
hens are on ranges. MS they need little
or no feed in the summer.
The prices of all kinds of grain of
course regulate the cost of eggs, but
in our experience the cost of n dozen
eggs at the present prices for feed
provided (and that is the main point)
tho hens are good layers, should not
exceed six cents. This does not in-
clude shelter or labor in caring for the
flock. If the hens are indifferent
layers and the egg production is
small, the cost may reach as much as
fifteen cents a dozen but such is n
seldom occurrence. Hartford Times.

To Pennsylyanians says the Phla-
dslphia Inquirer, the South African
republic is brought still closer home
by the claim that President Kruger
was in his youth resident of Carbon
county, and by the fact of which there
is no doubt at all that General JON
bert, who 30 successfully put the En-
glish to rout at Majuba Hill and
Krugersdorp, is native OF Union
town, Fayette county. Gen. Jou-
bert's parents came to Pennsylvania
from Holland, but his name would in
diclte that he was descendant OF the
French Huguenots, who took refnge
in Holland when 1t was nm asylum for
the oppressed OF all lands after the
revocation OF the Elict of Nantes.
Like the president of the Swiss repub-
lie. General Joubsrt did gallant SER

realized his defeat and rode sourly
