EGGS FOR ENGLAND.
More Than n Billion of Them Arc
Imported Into the Island King
dom Every Single Year.

The importat ton of eggs into England
has increased from a value of s., COX, OCO
in 1860 to $50, 100000 at the present time.
Why the 1,3O0,o00,00O eggs annually i'm
ported cannot be produced in England
is question the British public are for
ever asking the farming community.
The only answer ever given to this
query is: Because we cannot produce
them at profit A Mr.. Baghot de Ia
Bere has made up his mind to have this
problem solved, one way or the other
He does not believe in farmers socie-
ties, for English farmers have quaint
way of not seeing what they don't wish
to see, and any attempt to get from
them data on which to esta blish sci
entific facts would in all proba bility
fail.
Mr.. Baghot de la Bere is, therefore.
putting through the test on his own &C.
count. From March l each flock of forty
subjected to the test is to be wired in
and confined upon an acre of grass run.
The same kind of food is to be given to
each and every flock, ard they are to be
led twice daily. During the SIX spring
and summer months upon grain only
maize, wheat, barley and oats; during
the six fall and winter months in the
morning with boiled roots mixed with
meal, and in the evening with whole
grain. All food is to be purchased in
the local market, weighed and stored
in locked shed. The eggs are TO be
counted daily, and sold weekly in open
market. No fancy price realized is to
be taken account of. The number of
hours devoted weekly to the care of
the stock must be strictly noted. A
statement is to be made of the capital
involved at the start by the purchase
of stock, cost of fowl houses and other
appliances.
At the close of the year the results
are to be published in detail in all the
leading agricultural papers, as well as
widely distributed in pamphlet form
through county councils in touch with
the agricultural industry. - London

The Wood Pulp Industry.

It is estimated that :, 900 to 1900 cords
of pulp wood day enter into the manu-
facture of paper in the United States.
At the minimum, 5000 cords, the total
for year would be the enormous
amount of 100000 cords. It is safe to
call it 1,00O,0oO If this wood were piled
in one continuous string it would make
4 wall four feet wide and four feet high
little over 1915 miles in length. It
can be seen what prodigious thing the
wood pulp industry is, and at what a
tremendous rate it is devouring trees,
mainly spruce. Yet all this wood is
converted into paper, which, after be-
ing used, vanishes from sight in few
days and goes back to dust, out of which
element the trees grow.

HOW TO HIVE SWARMS,
Killing or InjurinE of Even
Single Little Bee.

It is a nice little trick to know just
how to hive swarms properly. There
usually is but one queen with the
swarm, and this one bee is by far the
most important factor of the swarm,
hence we must ever keep in mind the
Importance of handling the bees to en-
danger her welfare the least It is al
most impossible to hive a swarm of
bees without killing or injuring few
bees, and if one of those injured happen
to be the queen, cur swarm is worth
less as swarm.
In whatever manner we handle the
swarm, we should do it il manner to
prevent the killing OF single bee if
possible, and to keep all the swarm to-
gether and allow no part of it to be left
outside the hive, except the few living
bees that are On the wing at the time of
hlv1ng. The queen is liable to be in any
part OF the swarm, and may be in a
small handful of bees in the vicinity
that may have become entirely sepa-
rated from the principal cluster. To
hive a swarm right is to hive all of them,
and IT the queen is there at all she is
likely in the hive with the bees.
When a swarm issues from the hive.
or when they are issuing from the hive,
they should not be molested in any
manner whatever, but allowed to con-
gregate at their leisure and select a
place to suit themselves to cluster on,
and no interference with them what
ever until they all, or nearly all, set
tie. 1t is not best to get in hurry to
get them in the hive, but allow them a
Jew minutes to get well settled, and
then promptly hive them. \ box lust
| large enough to accommodate the
,, swarm, filled with holes to give them
plenty of air, may be held directly over
and on the top OF the bees, and with a
| little leafy twig, or a little smoke used
TO start them in the swarming box,
when they will readily respond and &C.
cupy the box. They may then be car
ried to the hive, which should be pre-
viously arranged for them, and a por-
ton Of them brushed off at the en-
trance, and as near in the entrance as
possible, when those finding the en-
trance will give the call and the whole
army move in that direction if dis
lodged from the swarming box in the
vicinity of the entrance.
| Swarms should not be left any length
CT time after they have issued from the
hive and clustered, as the next thing in
order for them to do is to get up and
| leave.-Farm. Field and Fireside.

Grit of Various Kinds.

Broken flint IS preferred because it is
sharp as we'll as hard. 1t is superior to
oyster shells because it has greater cut
ting power, and serves the purpose of
grit more perfectly. Limestone is pre-
ferred to all other substances. Lime
stone, marble (Which is really lime
stone). oyster shells, clam shells, sea
shells and chalk are almost identical in
composition, all being or containing
carbonate of lime, and if oyster shells
supply lime so will limestone. N6w
chalk is also carbonate of lime, but it
is too soft to serve as grit, hence, in or
der to secure sharp and hard grit from
a substance that contains form of
lime, the limestone should be preferred.
Bone, coarsely ground, is also excellent.

The Prince of Wales Told to Send His
Mother.

Amidst all the Formally which ne

quite refreshing to meet with a little
genuine naturalness. Such refresh
ment was at one time afforded the
prince of Wales by a good magistrate
OF one of the pottery towns.
The duke of Sutherland had pre-
sented park to the town to which the
worthy man belonged. and it was felt
that the opening was an event of suf1i-
Gent Importance to warrant the invit-
ing of the prince of Wales to perform
the ceremony. A deputation according

and the proper behavior for the &C.
caslon. His claims to the position he
assumed lay in the fact that he was
large-hearted, rough and ready, and
real Staffordshire''
The prince expressed regret that an
other engagement would prevent him
from officiating at the opening of the
park. Il should have been most haphy
to have come" he said, had known
sooner"
Gamma tina spare half day just to
show thy face?" said the worthy
spokesman. 1--WE shall look fules when
we get back"
But even the showing of the prince's
lace was an impossibility, and the
population was at loss to know how
to proceed. Then a brilliant idea struck
the leader, and his eyes frightened as
he turned once more to the prince and
said:
We'll, it tina Gamma come, send thu
mother."-Youth's Companion.

Conan Doyle tells the story of a

that there is skeleton in the cupboard
of every household, and he determined
to put that opinion to a practical test.

ment a respectable merchant in high
standing, against whom the most cen

the merchant: "All is discovered! Fly
