DELAYED Matching of E~ps

Three weeks is the time usually al.
lowed for a hen to sit before her eggs
are Matched. But in spring, when the
fowls are in good health and the eggs
make the most vigorous chicks, hatch.

tieth day, and by the twenty-6rst the
entire brood may be out. Eggs kept
two or three weeks before being set
will not hatch before the twenty-first
day. Late in the season twenty-five
or even twenty-three days may pass
before all the eggs will hatch. If left
longer than this it is probable that the
chick has died in the she'll. It isvery
easy after the twentieth day of sitting
to know whether The egg contains a
live chick, as its pecking may be heard
against the shell. Moisten the egg

not take that which has been boiled.
1t had better be sprayed on the egg.
which. should afterwards be wiped dr1
and placed under the hen. The water
sprayed on supplies the chick with
some air, and it also softens the shell
for it to peck at. The egg is porous.
If it were not, chicks would always die
in the she'll. When an egg breaks in
the nest, all the other eggs should bs
washed in tepid water aid rubbed dry,
SO as to remove the albumep from the
broken egg. As this albumen closes
the pores of the shell it quickly
smothers and kills all the chick Is thew
contain. Itmay do this if it is on the
shell only a very. short time.-Ameri.

Turnip Flayors in Milk.

When COWS accidentally get into q
turnip patch, or other vegetables that
lmpart bad flavor to the milk, it can
be made as good rs ever for cream and
butter making if it is heated to tenn
perature Of 140 degrees. This is best
done by placing the vessel in water
which is quickly brought to slightly
higher temperature. All the odor
passes off at this temperature, as it is
very volatile. In cooling, the cream
will rise to the surface. It also makes
the butter come more quickly than
from milk not heated.

Blue Laws.

The celebrated Code of Blue Laws,
so frequently alluded to in American
histories, were enacted in 1900 by the
legislators Of Connecticut. Brewer
says: 1T is almost verbally copied from
the Mosaic law. After the restoration
Of Charles H., Presbyterian true blue
became a term Of derision applied to
anything which shattered Of Puritan
ism, and blue laws simply meant puri-
tanical laws, or laws with a blue tinge.
These laws inflicted the penalty Of
death for worsh1ping any god but the
God Of the Bible; for speaking disre-
specially Of the Bible, Christ or the
Holy Ghost; for witchcraft, theft, false
swearing and disobedience to parents"

others which was appealed from the
municipal in this city to the district
court, has been dismissed by Judge
Ensign on the ground that the dis
trict court has no Jurisdiction in an
appeal from the municipal court of
this city. Judge S. f. White appear
ed in the case when tried in the dis
trict court. and made a motion to
dismiss for the reason that an appeal
does not lie. A. j. Thomas appeared
on the other side. The court and
both attorneys after fully looking up
the law were convinced that an appeal
could not be taken and the judge
made the order accordingly. All
appeals hereafter will necessarily be
taken to the supreme court of Mime
sofa. unless some alterations are made
in the laws governing the jurisdic-
tion of the district courts. The legis-
lature should look this matter up as
it is rather expensive to conform with
the law as at present.
