FARM AND GARDEN.
EGGS OF COMMERCE.
Big Business Done in the Internn-
tionnl Trading in Them.

Biz buHtneHR DOne IN the lhteEhN-
tionuI Trading In Them.
There is standard joke in the variety
theaters, so often told that it has come
to have a familiar sound to the ears of
patrons, concerning a remark made by
city man who heard that eggs had gone
down to q cent apiece: II don't see how
the hens can do it for the price" Not
withstanding the reduction in the price
of eggs, and the almost unlimited sup
ply of them in almost all countries that
have developed their agricultural re-
sources, it is a fact that the trade in
eggs, their expectation from one coun-
try to another, has become large item
of international commerce, as some
recent figures show. The case of Den
mark is in point Denmark's trade in
eggs with foreign countries, chiefly
with England and Scotland, has grown
enormously. Twenty years ago the an
nual Danish export of eggs was 6OO,-
600; now it is reckoned at 110,000,000. In
the same period the importation of eggs
into England has increased tenfold, but
only part of the whole number came
from Denmark, the two other egg ex-
porting countries from which England
draws its supplies being Holland and
France. France exports to other coun-
tries GOO 100000 eggs in a year, and Italy
exports 500,000,000 eggs in ayear, chiefly
to Austria and Germany.
The dairymen of the United States
depend chiefly on the enormous home
market, and they have rivals in the ex-
port of American eggs in the Canadians,
Canada ranking next to France and
Italy and ahead of Denmark and Hol-
land as an egg-eNporting country.
Canada exports to other countries 300,-
100000 eggs in a year. For the fiscal
year of 1895 the treasury figures give
the total exports of American eggs to
| foreign countries $4,000 dozen, which
is equivalent to 1,s12,OoO eggs. In the
fiscal year 1896, however, the total ex-
portation of American eggs increased to
1000 dozen, or 3,936,000 eggs, little
more than twice as much. The export
figures for this year indicate still fur
ther increase, and a market for Amer
lean eggs is likely, therefore, to be Sc
cured in what the political campaign
orators are accustomed to call, some.
what vaguely, the near future.
1t is somewhat curious fact that the
weight of eggs is materially largeS in
northern than in southern climates
Canadian eggs, for instance, are heavier
than those shipped from the United
States, and eggs in the northern states
of this country are heavier than those
| from the south.-N. Y. Sun.

BEES BY EXPRESS.
Some Valuable Hints Regarding z
PnclSing and Shining.


An exchange gives the following di-
rections for packing and shipping bees:
The manner of packing depends some
what upon the kind of hive, and to some
extent on the season of the year. They
can be shipped any time of the year
when bees are flying. If the weather is
comparatively cool, as in the spring and
fall, they do not need so much ventila-
tion as through the warm months.
There is little danger, however, of Civ
ing too much ventilation at any time,
Just how the ventilation can best be
given depends upon the hive, but with
almost any hive you can have the en-
tire top covered with wire cloth, and
that makes the colony safe against
smothering. If the weather is hot the
bees need supply of water on their
journey, which may be given by means
of a sponge or roll of rags saturated
with water and placed on the top of the
frames. If the hive contains loose
hanging frames, these must in some
way be made fast. This may be done
by driving nails through the ends oi
the top bars down into the ends of the
hive, but the nails should not be
driven in their entire depth, leaving
their ends projecting so they can be
drawn with claw hammer. When
placed on the cars, let the frames rur
parallel with the track; on a Wagon
they should run crosswise.

BOBBY AND BUNNY.
Story of the Misndventures of Two
Little Runnways.

hAtthe huhhWhybs
Little Bunny Rodent, one of family
of four young striped squirrels, as soon
as his parents had left the nest to get
some food for the family, told the
others that he was quite old enough to
be his own master, and look. out for
himself, and started off to do so.
An hour before Bobby Ransom had
left the tent where they were camping
in the Colorado hills, although he was
forbidden to go by himself, and with
rod, hook and line had gone up to the
cold, swift-fowing stream in the can
yon to try n little fishing. He had
taken bakiHg-powder can with bait in
IL, and so it came to pass that soon after
Bunny left his home he spied the little
top shaped blue and red float on Bobby
line rolling on a smooth rock, for Bobby
was tired of fishing and was playing
with his line.
Here's fun!" said Bunny to himself
and began to play with it ss kitten
with a ball of yarn. This was much
finer fun for Bobby than fishing, and
the woods rang with his laughter at
Bunny's antics. But after awhile in
swinging the line the hook caught in
the skin on Bunny's side, and Bobby
landed him at his feet like fish.
what a nice pet he would be to take
home!" said Bobby; so he emptied his
bait, made a hole in the can cover that
BunrvTmight get air, put him in, and
carefully took out the hook, though
Bunny chattered with fear and pain as
he did so. and all the time he was in the

George c. Boniface has not been feeling
in the best of health lately, and his wife
has attributed it to excessive smoking
says the New York Telegram.
The actor being particularly fond of
good cigars, denied this vehemently, and
vowed, with mental reservations, that he
only smoked three cigars a day Not being
able to prove to the contrary, his wife,
like a wise woman, said nothing. Subse-
quent events, however, proved that this
did not cause her to cease thinking.
Last week the comedian had a birthday,
and his wife presented him with a watch
charm in the shape of cigar cutter. 1t
was cute little thing, and TO prove his ap-
probation of the gift he used it vigorously
the first day. The next morning the wife
asked:
"How many cigars did you smoke yes
terday?"
Three" was the reply.
Thirteen, you mean," was the rejoin-
der.
There was something in the tone of his
better half which caused the actor to think
he had better temporize, and so he said:
"Well, as yesterday was my birthday,
perhaps I did exceed my allowance by one
or two but I am certain 1 did not smoke
thirteen"
oh but you did; no more and no less. 1
know it and can prove IT,"
How"
That's my secret And now promise
me that you will limit yourself to three
to-day"
OF course he promised. again with men
tai reservations, and then he went into
the Woodshed to think il over.
Recalling the events Of the previous day,
he found that thirteen was about the right
number, and it didn't take him long TO
IL. sf,f-
knowledge. A close examination of the
! innocent-looking little thing proved that 1t

Prof Frederick Ward Putnam, for the
last twenty-four years permanent secre-
tary Of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science and now presi
dent-elect of that organization, is one of
the best known ethnOlOgists in America.
Since his birth in 1899 he has retained Il
residence in Salem, Mass. He was a spe-
ciai student Of Louis Agassiz, ar Harvard,
wrote paper -on The BIRDS of his own
county. and has been fish and game
commissioner of Massachusetts. The early
races of America, however, have interest
ed him chiefly for the last thirty or forty
years, and he has investigated a large
number of Indian burial places and shell
mounds. At the recent meeting of the
American association in Detroit he pre-
sented evidence tending 20 show that
race distinct from the American Indians
inhabited the Delaware valley before they
made their appearance. The deposits in
which he found remains Of that race are
believed to be post-slacial, yet very old.
From 1864 until 1916 Prof. Putnam was
superintendent Of a museum in Salem. In
1874 he became curator of the Peabody
museum of American archaeology and
ethnology at Harvard, and in 1886 was
made professor of these sciences at Harv-
ard University.
