why Do Eggs Rot.

During the season for selling eggs
for Matching we hear more or less
complaint about rotten eggs. Begin
ners are apt to believe that rotten
egg is an inferti1e egg, and that, nee
essarily, it must have been old before
shipping. On the other hand, a rot
ten egg is good proof that the egg was
fertile, but the germ not being strong,
it soon died after the heat from the
hen or incubator started to develop it.
The truth is that eggs do not become
rotten when there is no male bird in
the yard. They rather dry up. An
mated will pass through three weeks
of incubation and come out clear. 1.
K. Fetch once said that an egg not
impregnated will come out from under
hen at the end of three weeks incu-
baton perfectly clear; while one that
is impregnated, if sat on forty-eight
hours, and then taken out, will at the
end of three weeks surely be of bad
odor; while an egg not impregnated
may be sat upon twelve days and then
be used for all cooking purposes, and
prove as good as the common run of
store eggs.
"The other day." wrote Mr.. Fetch,
81 boiled twelve eggs taken out of an
incubator, after twelve days incuba-
fior1 to-, mara o1oar +,.,1 s1,o,rad ~. !,
germ to have started, and death at an
apparent age of two days. The result
was the two impregnated eggs, when
cut open, had an unpleasant odor, and
the white was furnished, while the
yolk had a brassy-white tinge, and
the dead germ was not hardened by
boiling. Of the other ten that showed
no signs of impregnation, ate four,
and they were to all appearances and
to the taste as good as those boiled
twelve days old that had been kept in
the pantry. When an egg that has
never been in an incubator is broken,
the a1bumen adheres more closely to-
gether, and does not run over so large
surface as will that of the egg which
have been subjected to the heat of the
incubator for ten days. This seems
to be all the difference.
An inferti1e egg, placed under the
heat of 103 degrees for one week, will,
in appearance and taste, be equal to
an inferti1e egg that has been laid
away for two weeks. In some sections
poultrymen find a market among
bakers for all the infertile eggs they
test from their incubator hatches.-

The wife's Allowance.

Why does man deny to his wife the
desired allowance? For every women
wants one. 1t is not poverty, for how
ever small the sum it can be divided.
and one must live. It is ignorance. I
feel assured, as to his own.we1fare and
that of his family. A man whose ewes
are open to his own interests aud to
his wife's happiness, will no longer
withhold from her the right and priv
ilege of proper sum of money for the
management of household affairs. 1t
is her branch to control. He will ad-
nit this; but how is it possible for her
to do it wisely unless she has the means
with which to plan and work? Free
dom in the home is freedom to plan it,
manage it, and make it success, and
1t cannot be done without both mater
ial and pattern by which to measure.
Give to woman the power to make
home what it should be, and you open
to her channel for happiness which
will defy patent medicines, doctors,
wrinkles and gray hairs. It is the cry
for freedom that drives woman out
of her home. It is the smothered cry for
independence which gives to the face
that habitua1 worried expression. The
petty cares and anxieties destroy her
beauty of face and form and make her
old before her time. Inability to graf
ify the spirit of freedom in the matter
OF hnance may not be the greatest
trial in woman's life, but it is the
most common. It affects the mass.
and in affecting the mass puts blight
upon the development which it is to
the interest of husband, home and
children to prevent. Once free from
anxiety, 1t matters not what nature,
the mind reaches out with a clearness
of apprehension which in bondage it
never knew. Happy homes, free
homes, are what we want, they viii
do more for our children than all mod
ern ethics outside. Let wives, moth
ers and children feel the free home in
fuence. It gives them character; i'll
unfolds their powers, mentally and
spiritually. Sleeping gifts come to
light under its benignan. influence,
and contentment and prosperity fol-
low as a natural sequence. L. y,K.

The spring rush to the K1ondike
gold-felds has begun, following close
ly upon the announcement that the
government has abandoned its pro-

having received reliable information
that things there were not in such

government is about to issue new Gus

BILE to that region. 1t will police the

New Light On Bovine Tubersulsoi..

A theory of the cause and proven
ton of bovine tuberculosis which is
new to the Packer, at least, has recent
1y been advanced by DIR. John H. Trent,
an. eminent physician of Brooklyn. In
very interesting letter relating to
the subject DIR. Trent says:
ga few years ago we were surprised
and alarmed by the discovery that a
large number of the dairy COWS of this
country and Europe were affected with
bovine tuberculosis. The public was
much excited, and believe that most
of the diseased cows were DESTROYED
and the expenses added to our already
overburdened tax list. And there the
matter seemed to have ended, so far
as the institution of any preventive
measures were concerned. Since that
time during my summer vacation in
all parts of the United States 1 have
endeavored to find out the cause of bo-
vine tuberculosis, and the answer has
invariably been 'over-mi1king' viz not
allowing the cows any rest during
pregnancy, but milking them from one
year to the other until they die. In
many instances 1 know this to be true
as the farmers assured me that their
cows never went dry, but these same
farmers would not allow their own
children to be nursed during their
mothers pregnancy. I am assured
that bulls, steers, and uuimpregnated
heifers never contract tuberculosis.
There are other secondary causes, such
as too close confinement in warm
houses or stables, have no doubt; but
the primary and principal cause is as
have stated above, and it must and
and will be remedied; not by forever
killing the cows as fast as they devel-
op the disease, but by removing the
cause. The law should compel every
farmer or dairyman to allow his cows
to go dry for the last three months of
CESSATION. This is very important
matter and l hope that other physi-
c1ans will investigate for themselves. .

The tariff was passed for the specific
purpose of increasing wages and open

praised as the most scientific" pro-
tective tariff schedule ever devised.
Yet within six months wages come
tumbling down in the very industry
which has the most perfect protection.
What an illustration of the false prin-

protective doctrine rests on. 1t is an
