EGGS for Hatching.

The selection of the eggs is the first
and most important matter in the
Matching of chicks. Very large eggs
small eggs, eggs sharp at both ends
eggs that have protuberances, thin
shelled eggs and such, should be dis.
carded, as it is a waste of time using
them. Eggs should be of normal
size, perfect in shape, smooth and
fresh. When the chicks are Matched
out do not feed them much wet foods
but keep them at work scratching for
seeds, and you will have fewer cases
of leg weakness and bowel disease
The matter of raising chicks, how.
ever, depends on the eggs from which
they are hatched.-Farm and Fire.

TURNIP EXPERIMENT.
| II May Throw Some Light on Subjce (
That Has Been Discussed for
Long Time.

The opinion that buckwheat is bai
crop to precede turnips is very ger.
orally held by the farming community,
some farmers going so far as to say
that 1t acts as poison not only tU
turnips, but to other crops. The fol-
lowing experiment may throw some
light upon the subject:
piece of land that had already pro
duced turnips was divided, one hall
being sewn to buckwheat, the other
being fallowed. When the buckwheat
was ripening it was cut, passed through
feed-cutter, the chopped stuff re.
turned to the soil from which it was
cut, and then turned under. In a
short time a stand of young buck.
wheat appeared and was allowed to
grow a few inches. Both plots were
then spaded and sown to turnips. In
every respect save the growing of the
buckwheat upon one of them, the two
plots were treated alike.
When the crop was harvested the
salable roots upon the buckwheat plot
weighed more than four times as much
as the salable roots upon the falowed
plot. The salable roots were much
more numerous and smaller upon the
fallowed plot.-M G. Ka'ns, in Farlr

The bees regard the square just
across the way as their private park,
a happy hunting ground planted IN
their interests.
What is park for, anyhow if it
isn't to gather honey in?" they want
to know. People who come to walk
or talk or rest on the benches Of the

PIRACY IN THE EAST.
There Are Many Sea Robbers Who
stu Ply Their Trade in Chi
nese Waters.

Piracy in some eastern waters Is
more rife now than ever it was. So it
would appear from the latest report of
our consul at Canton. This is how the
robbers proceed: They have no armed
craft of their own with which TO give
chase and run down their victims. The
usual plan is for band of half dozen
men to go on board passenger launch
disguised as honest men. When suit
able spot is reached they throw off all
disguise, overawe the crew and pas
sengers by hourishing revolvers, and
then half the party stand by ready to
shoot, while the rest proceed to search
the passengers and their luggage, and
when they have taken all they want
they transfer themselves to another
boat or land near friendly village,
where division of the spols takes
place.
These pirates, the consul points out,
are not devoid Of a certain chivalrous
feeling. Cases have been known where,
after having robbed some rich passen-
gers and made good haul, they have
restored to the poorer passengers
what had already been taken from
them. On other occasions they have
overpowered the master and crew Of
launch and Borrowed" the use Of
the vessel for a few hours, during
which they have overhauled a junk
known 10 have valuables on board.
Having pilaged the junk they have
steamed away to their own village, and
before larding they have offered to
pay the master for the time his launch
has been detained. This is quite In

FAVEROLLE FOWLS.
They Are Already Quite Popular In
France, Where They Originated
Not Long Ago.

The Faverolle fowl is remarkable for
luickness of growth, easy fattening
and quality and amount of flesh. 1t
was a result of demand in French
markets for larger fowl than the
Houdan. The breed was developed in
the district about the town of Fa'
verolle, small place about dozen
miles to the south of Houdan, and nc
doubt the Faverolle fowl is result OF
various crosses with the Houdan
breed. To obtain true explanation
of this variety it is necessary to &c
back about 40 years. The district
about Faverolle, at that time, pos.
sessed race of mongrel poultry, to-
gether with the pure Houdan. This
was the time when Cochins, Light

Large Returns from Poultry.

Readers should not object to the
extra amount of attention devoted tc
the hen and her products. Eggs are
comparatively low. They will soor
be higher. Grain is cheap, but it will
soon be dearer If the farmer is to
have any eggs to sell while eggs are
scarce and dear, he must begin the
work Of preparation now and keep al
1t. The price of eggs is not much, but
the sum total of all the eggs produced
in the country is greater in value than
the products of all the silver mines.
This country does not produce eggs
enough to supply the home market
There is no other direction in which
the intelligent use of labor and ma.
terial will produce as certain and
profitable returns as with poultry. A

NEVER CARES TO WANDER.
More Than Five Miles After
Raw Material.

The range of the honey bee is but
little understood by the masses, many
;upposing that bees go for miles in
search of nectar, while Others think
that they go only a short distance. 1t
may be curious to many to understand
how anyone can tell how far the bees
may fly, but this is simple when under
stood. Years ago, when the Italian
bees were first introduced in the
United States, these bees, having
marks different from the common bees
already here, were easily distin-
guished, and after any beekeeper had
obtained the Italian bees they could
be observed and their range easily no.
ticed. If bloom is plentiful near where
bees are located, they will not go very
far, perhaps mile in range, but If
bloom is scarce they may go five miles.
Usually about three miles is as far
as they may go profitably.
Bees have been known to go as far
us eight miles in straight line, cross
ing body of water that distance to
land. 1t is wonderful how the little
honey bee can go so far from its home
and ever find its way back to its own
particular hive. If, while the little
bee is out Of its home, or hive, the
hive should he removed some ten or
twenty feet, according to the sur.
roundings, when 1t came back to where
its home was first located II would
be hopelessly lost. If its home were
in an open space, with no other objects
close, it might find its way home, but,
even should the hive be moved only
a few feet, many of the bees would
get lost
So to move hive, If done In the
winter time, it would be all right, but
| II in the summer time 1t should be
done after dark, or when the bees are
not flying. and even then the bees
should be stirred up some, and smoke
blown in at the hive entrance and q
board or some object placed in front
of the hive so that the bees in coming
out may mark their new location
Bees, no doubt, are guided by sight
and also by sense of smell. They are
attracted by the color of bloom, as
II they are at work on a certain kind
of bloom. they are not likely to leave
that particular kind of bloom for any
other as long as they can find that kind
Again, bees are often attracted tc
sweets by their sense of smell, fol
they will go after sweets, ever
II in the dark, II close. How
ever, any Kind of sweets may be
placed in glass in plain sight, but i
covered, so as not to emit any smell
the bees will take no notice OF them
