Michael Hogan was shot early Thurs
day morning at Plymouth, and it is al
legged the shooting was done by Michael
Quinn. The men had been thrown out
of saloon for quarreling. On the street

touched the flesh.

EGGS OF COMMERCE.


Big business Done in the Interna-
tional Trading In Them.
There is standard joke in the variety
theaters, so often told that II has come
10 have familiar sound TO the ears of
patrons, concerning remark made by a
city man who heard that eggs had gone
down to a cent apiece: II don't see how
the hens can do IL 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 600,-
GOO: now it is reckoned at 110,000,000. In
the same period the importation of eggs
into England has increased tenfold, but
only a 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 6OO,OOoOoO eggs in year, and Italy
exports 500,000,000 eggs in ayear, chiefly
to Austria and Germany.
The dairymen of the United States
4 4 II, 20
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-eXporting 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 ISL 900 dozen, which
is equivalent to $4,000 eggs. In the
fiscal year 1896, however, the total eX-
portation of American eggs increased to
$4,000 dozen, or 3,936000 eggs, little
more than twice as much. The export
figures for this year indicate a 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 a, somewhat curious fact that the
weight of eggs is materially larger 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.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

No brooding pen should contain over
so chicks.
From 35 to 40 ducks aud brakes are
allowed in pen.
Broilers shrink about half-pound
each when dressed.
The shell of an egg contains about 10
grains of salt of lime.
Forty dressed ducklings are packed in
barrel for shipment.
The duck averages ten dozen eggs in
about seven months laying.
Build the house ten by ten feet for
ten fowls, and the yard ten times larger.
DucLlings are marketed at five pounds
weight, which they attain in ten weeks.
Ten dozen eggs year is the average
estimate given as the production of the
hen.
About four dozen eggs are given as an
average for the annual output of the
turkey.
Duck feathers sell at 40 cents per
pound; goose feathers bring double
the amount.
Between 40 and so degrees is the prop
Ell temperature to keep eggs for hatch
ing during winter
Eggs intended for Matching should not
be kept over four weeks. They must
be turned over every day or two.
1t will require seven pounds of
skinned milk to equal one pound of
lean beef for tlesh-forming qualities.
One dollar per head is the average
cost of keeping fowl a year, and the
same amount is fair estimate of the
profits.-poultry Monthly.

BEES BY EXPRESS.
Some Valuable Hints Regarding
Packing and Shipping.

Some Valuable Hints Regarding
Packing and Shipping.
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-
ton 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 a 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 of
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 a claw hammer. When
placed on the cars, let the frames run
parallel with the track; on a wagon
they should run crosswise.

The bottom of the box is covered with
road dust, or coal ashes and a shelf for
setting in water and cracked corn

ings for air are made in each end. A
hen can be placed on the nest, the cover
of the box put on, and biddy left to her
own devices until she brings off her
brood. This plan takes away much of
the care usually experienced in setting
hens in spring.-Orangc Judd Farmer.

he n disappointment.
One OF the difficult things for the
novice in beeleeping to learn is that
len strong colonies will store more
honey than twenty weak ones. There
is an anxiety for large numbers, and
each colony is counted one, no matter
how feeble it may be. So the mex
perienced is often delighted at get
ting two, three, or even four or five
swarms from a single colony, notwith-
standing the fact that the last two
or three swarms contain only hand
full of bees. They make sure to die be-
fore the winter is over, and then he de-
cides that he doesn't care for such very
weak colonies, but still clings to the
thought that one strong enough TO
live through it is all right.
Many times, however, IL is true econ
omy to lessen the number, even with
the view of having the. largest num-
Der possible in the succeeding fall.
Suppose, for instance, there are four
weak colonies in the spring, each one
having enough bees to fairly cover
two combs. Unite two of them and
leave the other two without uniting.
You now have only three colonies in
stead of four. and yet you may be bet
ter off; for the one colony. with bees
to cover four combs, will go right on
increasing in strength. and by the time
the white clover harvest is fairly under
way it will be strong enough to give
you a rousing swarm, and you will
now have two strong colonies for it,
while the two weddings have only just
begun fairly TO build up. They stood
still, not showing any increase in num-
Der for a long time, evidently needing
all the strength they had to keep up
existence and make good the loss of the
dying bees by the young bees raised.
If, instead of trying to increase. the
effort be to get all the honey possible,
supposing neither colony offers to
swarm, the difference is fully as notice
able, if not more so. The united colony
will have more bees than there are in
both the others. 1t is easy to see that
it will store more surplus. But if you've
had no experience in the matter it may
be hard for you to believe how much
more --Farnners' Union

treatment OF Broody Hens.

When it is desired to break up per-
sistent sitter it is often a hard matter
to succeed, but if the hen is given a
new location she often concludes not to
sit at all. When hen becomes broody
she should be removed after dark to
some place away from the layers If
this location is very near like the old
one it is possible the hen win become
contented and proceed to sit At first
she may be given two or three wooden
eggs and If she shows an inclination to
sit after a day or two She may have the
eggs for incubation. Glass or porce-
lain eggs are cold and may cause the
hen 10 refuse TO sit, rather than be an
