German Method of Preserving Eggs.
"A series of interesting experiments
IN the preservation of eggs, carried on
last year in Germany, has just been
published in an official consular report.
After eight months OF preservation,
400 eggs, divided into twenty different
parcels for that many methods of ex-
pertinent, were examined, with heter-
ogenous results. Upon opening for
use, the eggs presented the following
results, according to the parcels origin
ally numbered: /. Eggs put up for
preservation in salt water were all

having penetrated into the eggs. 2.

4. Rubbed with salt, 70 per cent bad.

per cent bad. IS. Vanished with
vaseline, all good. 10. Preserved in
lime water, all good. 20. Preserved
In solution of water glass, all good.
The last three methods are conse-
quently to be considered the best ones,
and especially the preservation in the
solution of water glass, as vanishing
the eggs with vaseline takes too much
time, and the treatment with lime
water sometimes communicates to the
eggs disagreeable odor and taste.
There is one drawback with eggs pre-
served in a solution of water glass
the shell easily bursts when placed in
boiling water. 1t is, said this may be
avoided by cautiously piercing the
she'll with strong needle.

The Feast Of Dolls.

A second and concluding paper on
''The Little Japanese at Home" by
Miss Ida Tigner Hodnett, appears in
st. Nicholas. Miss Hodnett says: AS
the Feast of Flags is the great day of
the year for boys, so is the Feast of
Dolls for giIs. 1t comes on the third
day of the third month, and is some
times called by foreigners the FESTIVAL
Of Peach Flowers" but the japanese
name is the "Hina matsuri' (hee-nah
mat-soo-ree). The shops display for
many days previous a fine assortment
OF toys suited to the occasion. The
mother adorns the chief room of the
house with peach blossoms, which are
in bloom at this season; the father
buys toys for his little DAUGHTERS. If
the little girls are old enough, they
prepare eatables themselves for the
dolls, and give a feast in the evening
to which the family friends are invit-
ed. Another festival in which little
girls take part is that of the Lanterns.
They go together in a procession
through the streets in the evening
swinging beautiful paper lanterns and
singing as they go. Other people also
form professions, and as the soft-tint-
ed lights sway hither and thither, some
showing beautiful transparencies. Of
fanciful shapes, the whole makes a. fai
ry-like scene. This Is a wishing ev-
ening," and whoever sees the meeting
OF two stars at certain point near the
Milky Way will obtain his wish in one
year or three.

Robertson's Combination silaee.

} hobertsons Combination Silage.
Prof. Henry, in his new book on "Feed
and Feeding" has this to say about
the Robertson combination silage:
Robertson, of the Dominion station,
Ottawa, in the effort to secure silage
containing the nutrients of a balanced
ration, concluded that the following
mixture would prove satisfactory: Ten
tons of green fodder corn, three tons
of English horse beans, and one and
one-half tons of sunf1ower heads. To
secure the proper proportion of these
crops under Canadian conditions, for
each acre Of corn there should be
planted half an acre of horse beans
and one-fourth of an acre of sunflow-
ers. This mixture was found satisfac-
tory In feeding trials with dairy COWS
and fattening steers. Since the horse
bean does not thrive in the United
States, except possibly in the extreme
north, some other plant must be SUBJ
stltuted in mixtures of this character.
Mr.. G. F. Weston, superintendent of
the Blltmore estate, North Carolina,
reports to the writer that he has found
that one load Of COW pea vines mixed
With two loads of green corn forage
produces an excellent silage for dairy
cows

DRUNKENNESS AMONG ANIMAL

Those of the Higher Order Fond of
Fermented Liquors.
Most of the higher animals-as
monkeys, elephants, bears, horses and
dogs-have a natural fondness for fer
mented liquors, and sufferer from the
abuse Of these liquors as men do.
From the book of Maccabees it is evil
dent that war elephants were mad
dened of old with new wine, as they
have been and are with arrack down to
the present time. Managers of menag-
cries and employees at the various
geological gardens know that the ele-
plants under their care are prepared
to go on a wild drunk whenever oppor-
tunity offers. Whisky is officially CIV
en- them when they are i'll or low-the
quantity varying from five to ten gal
Ions, according to the requirements of
the case. This is put into their drink
ing water Bears and monkeys drink
beer like German students, and love
whisky equally we'll In Africa the
natives make use of this evil trait to
capture their poor relations The
monkeys there are extremely fond Of
a beer brewed by the natives So the
latter place quantities of the liquor
within easy reach of the monkeys and
wait until their victims are thorough
ly befuddled. In this state they are
unable to recognize the difference be-
tween negro and ape. When the negro
takes the hand of one Of them to lead
him off a second monkey takes the
hand of the first, a third that Of the
second, and so on. A single negro
may sometimes be seen carrying off a
string of staggering monkeys Fresh
doses of beer in decreasing quantities
are administered to the captives, so
that they may only gradually awaken
to the results of their spree.

On Account of q Song.

New York Sun: President E. Benja-
min Andrews of Brown university is
angry and the students of Pembroke
hall (the women's college, are. up in
arms because of song published in
the Liber Brunensis, the Brown annu-
al. The song purports to have been
written by coed, is entitled Hymn
to Dead Broke Hail." and ridicules the
Women's college. Ever since the IAN
mex" was established the male stu
dents have more or less openly frown-
cd on the presence of women in the
college classes. The women feel that
they have been snubbed, and the song
expresses their alleged sentiments on
the subject. The coed says in the
song:
Were giggled and gabbled, with never
rest,
And I presume they wish us in Ha-
des."
President Andrews summoned the Ii
Der editors before him last night and
told them that if the song was not cut
out OF every copy of the book the fol-
lowing night the whole board would
be bounced. The editors and the
friends spent last night and today in
racing about the city and dormitories,
knife in hand, cutting out the song,
and copies of uncut "Libers'' are at a
premium. The editors were repeatedly
cheered on the campus today. They
accomplished their task before their
time was up.

The Butter Conflict Abroad.


The American butter-makers have a
hard fight before them in their at
tempts to capture the butter market.
In this connection the Dairy World of
London says: "The high hopes of
American producers do not appear to
be approaching speedy realization so
far as the trade in butter with this
country is concerned, for if we take
the season represented by the first two
months Of the year and compare it
with the preceding season, we find
that the receipts from the United
States have fallen from 46,S73 cwt. to
$40 cwt. The imports from Denmark,
Sweden and New Zealand have, on the
other hand, materially increased. An
other factor which is calculated to tell
against the American product is the
increase in the supply Of butter from
Ireland, and with this increase de-
cided Improvement in the quality and
uniformity OF the article, resulting
from careful study Of the require
ments Of the English market. It cam
not be said that American makers
have altogether hit off, the taste Of
the English consumer, the preference
for a less highly favored article being
to the disadvantage Of the American
product. The competition lin butter
being SO keen, and the sources Of pro-
duction 50 numerous-thereby giving

DEATH IN THE DESERT.
Two Stories of Journey Of Three Me,

Two Stories of q Journey of Three Men
That Brought Death to One OF Them.
From the San Francisco Chronicles:
San Diego dispatch: According to the
story told by Ed Moore of this city
and by S. Green of Los Angeles, who
arrived here last night from the Colo
RADIO desert, Joseph S. Stanley of Ba
kersfeld is dead at Coyote Wells from
the effects of the terrible hardships ex-
perienced by the three young men a
week ago. There is some difference,
however, in the stories told by Moore
and Green, and until some investiga-
ton has been made by the authorities
the exact facts will not be known.
Green's story is that the three men left
San Diego nine days ago, intending to
drive to Yuma, where Moore was to re-
main, and the other two men were to
continue by wagon to Texas. They
had one horse, with plenty Of provi-
sions in the wagon, but only carried
water enough to last from one water
ing place to another. At Buzzards
Roost, half way across the desert, be-
tween Campo and Yuma, the horse re-
fused to drink, and was so weak that
it could not proceed. The men at
tempted to reach Yuma on foot, a
distance of thirty miles, but failed, and
decided to retrace their steps to San
Diego. At Cameron Lake, Stanley
commenced to bleed at the mouth,
finally lying down in the hot sun with
his face upward. Moore and Green
were unable to help him beyond Civ
ing him part of their supply of water.
Afterward Stanley revived and follow
ed them, but at Coyote Wells fell I'M
conscious. Before Green and Moore
left there Stanley revived and shook
hands with them, saying he was I'M
able to go further and begging them
to go on. Moores account of the af-
fair is radically different. He states
that on Tuesday, April 10, they en-
countered a sandstorm, and travelled
twenty-seven miles to Laguna Lake
with the greatest difficulty. None Of
the men could speak, their tongues be-
ing swollen. STANLEY died from ex-
haustion," said Moore, "and we buried
him under a mesquite tree, though
Green and I were at the time nearly
dead from thirst and starvation. We
managed to reach Jacumba, where we
got something to eat, and then came
on to San Diego.'

Small Capital for Poultry.

It is an advantage with poultry keep
ing that the beginner can make his
capital; that is, he can grow his CAPT.
tai if he will be patient. says Cole
mans Rural World. What is meant
is that if one commences with fifty hens
he need not be compelled to buy more
stock Immediately, as he can prepare
one yeafsfor the next.4tHe may have
200 hens the second year, and have all
accommodations complete The third
year he may have a flock of 500, and
then increase every year, so that in
five years his farm may contain 1000
hens. It will extend the period over
five years, hence as the beginning is
with few, the capital will be small,
and, as he adds to the number of his
hens, he at the same time enlarges his
capital. Now. that is a point in favor
of the poultry business-this gradual
enlargement of the capital which makes
it so attra active to many, and which also
makes the business possible to those
who cannot derive as large profit in
proportion to capital invested in any
other pursuit. But the great difficulty
is the fact that nearly all who. turn
their attention to poultry are unwilling
to wait five years. They are not in
clined to build up a business, but en-
deavor to get into it the first year, with
a proof from limited capital and no ex-
perience, the result being that the list
of failures is long one The one who
begins with a few and increases his
flock gains experience as he travels
along the road of progress, and, while
increasing his capital through the nat
ural increase of his focks, is adding
to his experience and becoming more
capable of accomplishing the objects
sought. The capacity of the plant is
made the greater by the production of
the flocks, the eggs and poultry sold
being the sources of income. It NAV
be a hardship to support family while
getting we'll into the business, but the
sacrifices made will be we'll repaid
later. While building up a business,
the selection of good layers from pure
breeds and the escaping of disease will
also assist in insuring success.
