The Cost of an Egg.

The cost of an egg in the Eastern
States is estimated at one cent, but this
depends on the prices of grain. II
meat, milk, cut bone, chopped clover
and cooked potatoes are given, the cost
will be less; not because the meat can
be purchased at less than the grain, but
because the feeding of a variety and a
balanced ration will induce the hens to
lay more eggs. The greater the num-
Der of eggs laid the lower the cost pro-
protionately, and it is possible to pro-
duce eggs at a cost of only half a cent
each.-P. III. Jacobs, in Farm and Fire

wintering Plants in Cellars.

Plants are placed in the cellar to
rest, not to grow. Nothing is more
harmful to them when thus stored
away than water, and it should never
be given unless to keep the soil from
becoming dust dry. In early spring, if
the buds on the plants are seen to be
starting a little, do not give water,
which would only favor their growth,
but keep as dry and cool as possible,
until time to take them ont of the Gel
lar.-Vicks Magazine.

Evolution of the Peach.

The peach was originally poisoned

poison arrows and for that purpose
were introduced into Persia. Trans
plantation and cultivation have not
only removed it's poisonous qualities,
but turned it into the delicious fruit we
now enjoy.

Hints for the Laundry.


Clothes carefully folded and sprin-
killed. are half ironed
A clean apron worn while hanging
the clothes helps keep them clean.
Black cotton hose should be dried and
ironed on the wrong side to prevent
fading.
The line, as soon as it's duty is ended,
should be reeled up and placed in bag
until next time.
Black and white calicoes are bene-
flied by having handful of salt added
to the rinsing water.
Calicoes should be washed in clean
water, dried in the shade, and turned
on the wrong side to dry.
Red tablecloths keep their color II u
little borax is added to the rinse water
and they are dried in the shade.
Pillow slips should be ironed length
wise instead of crosswise, if one wishes
to iron wrinkles out instead Of in.
Dish towels and common towels can
be ironed just as well in half the time
if folded together once as if ironed
singly.
Clothes when brought in should be-
separated and folded at once; If allow
ed to lie together, many wrinkles ac--
cumulate.
A pair of white gloves or mittens are
a comfort to hands taken from hot suds
to hang clothes in zero weather; also,
close-fitting jacket, and hood to keep
one from catching cold.
Letting clothes hang after they are
dry, or letting them hang through a
storm, or in windy weather to slat
about, is not conducive to long wearing
or to help the good mans pocketbook.
Sheets folded across, bringing the
wide and narrow hens together, them
folded again, then ironed across bOtEs
sides, are finished quickly and look as;

them.

Treatment of Frozen Plants.

As soon as discovered, remove the
frosted plants to cool place where the
temperature can by some means be
gradually raised until it reaches, that to
which the. plants have been accus-
toned. a sudden rise in the tempera-
ture, after plants have been badly
frosted, thaws them too rapidly and re-
suits disastrously. Trim off the tender
shoots which are beyond help, and then
gradually raise the temperature during
the day until it reaches the accustomed
mark. They may then soon be placed
in their proper places, but it might be
we'll to shade them for a day or two
from the sun. A splendid and effective
protection against certain amount of
cold is secured by placing over the
plants cones made from paper. In this
manner cold drafts from about win
dows on very severe windy nights can
be kept from harming the plants

Great Year for Stock.

Hon. A. G. Sanford of Cathay, Wells
county, returned home today from a
trip to Chicago and eastern points. He
took with him to Chicago a car of sheep
raised on North Dakota grass, says the
jamestown Alert. /, The lambs realized
$500 and the old sheep $3.50. He met
a good many stockmen while gone and
discussed the outlook for stock with
men who are we'll posted from all parts
of the United States. Mr.. Sanford
says:
"The prospect for good prices for
sheep is better now than it has been for
years and they will probably be higher
this fall than ever before in North Da-
kota. There is more money now IN
sheep than cattle. The reason for the
higher prices in sheep are that buyers
picked up all the available sheep very
close last fall all over the United States.
Feeders next fall will be scarce and the
lambs will be worth more to keep than
to sell. The wethers will be sold but
there will not be enough to supply the
demand.

much from the delay but the Latin
class. and he has made arrangements
for them to have recitals at his house.

in a claim for 500 salary. 1t transpired
that Mcdonald was not a full citizen of
the United States, having never taken
out his second papers, and the county
fought the claim, their claim being
upheld by Judge Winchester. L. A.
Simpson appears for the county and
j. F. Philbrick for Mcdonald. The
case will go to the supreme court.

evidence on behalf of the railroads at
the hearing before Special master v. r.
Lowell on the injunction granted by
Judge Amidon last May restraining the
enforcement by the commission Of re-
duced rates, listened yesterday to further
testimony from Controller H. A. Gray of
the Northern Pacific. The companies
interested are the Northern Pacific, the
Great Northern, and the milwaukee,.
NJ. D. Grover, solicitor for the Great
Northern, represents both the Northern
Pacific and hisosn company.
Mr.. Gray's contention. is that the
Northern Pacifi: cost $4,000 aSmile and
the Great Northern $4,000 mile and
that each road should be allowed to
earn a reasonable income on it's actual
cost. The commissioners maintain,
however, that such permissions if
granted, might be just enough fer the
Northern Pacific. but too prohtably
just for the Great Northern.
Mr.. Gray's direct testimony is con-
Guided. His cross-examination may last
several days.
