Railroad Earnings.

According to Duns Review railroad
earnings in the United States for the
third quarter are the best. though there
is a remarkable uniformity when condi-
lions are considered. Severe storms in
February reduced earnings, and there
was a loss that month. A marked inn
provement appeared in the second quar-
ter: also the third, but in part the lat
ter is due to falling off in earnings last
year during the critical Cuban war pc
Rod. Earnings for the United States
roads reporting for each quarter are com

1t will be seer that the remarkable
advance of Russian supplies during tins
last few years is not only maintained,
but increased, and now the empire OF
the Gear sends more eggs to us than
any other country. In 1896 it held the
fourth place, now it occupies the first.
Increases are recorded from Denmark,
Canada, and other countries, and de-
creases from Germany, Belgium, n
France. AS to the last named. the
change which has been mentioned IN
previous years is still further accentu-
ated. In 1892 the value Of eggs sent to
us from France was s1.611.945; last
year it was little more than half. n
it is evident that home and Irish sup
plies are taking the place once occu-
pied by the French, which formerly
commanded a much higher position
than is now the case. The greater sup
plies of English, and the Improvement
in Irish eggs, will probably make this
tendency still more evident in the fu-
ture. AS a result of the reduction Of
French supplies, which are the best
foreign on our markets. and increase
of Russian, which r among the
cheapest. the average value has natur-
ally been reduced.

Fresh Eggs.

must be fresh laid or It will not be

little attention to gathering and SELL

that the egg from the new nest is as
good as any, or eggs kept for two

Care of Turkey Coops.

A turkey hates to get into her coop
at night unless 1t has been moved dur
ing the day, writes Miss E. j. Pine in
Turkeys and How to Grow them" II
it is changed every day she soon re-
CARDS 1t as a safe place to keep her
little family over night. Should it rain
in the night, change it that it may be
clean for the day. Filth is a deadly
foe to a young turkey in confinement.
l have always kept my coops on the
ground. An experienced raiser who
has tried floors prefers the ground, as
it is more natural and healthful. (
think it is a good plan to keep a box
skunk trap set at night near the coops.
When the turkeys get large enough to
fly wei a stone wall, they will wander
further away, and there is danger from
hawks and foxes. I keep track of their
whereabouts as we'll as I can. which
takes me outdoors nc more than is nee
essary for my good health. have had
them so wild that they have caused me
considerable trouble, but it was caused
by introducing new blood through
strange hens instead of the gobbler.
The latter is the better way.
Choice and Ordinary Butter.-Dairy-
men should not forget that the dis
elimination between choice and ordi-
nary grades of butter is becoming
clearly and sharply defined each year.
It is only the best that is always in
demand and will sell at good prices
when there is a surplus of the inferior
grades. that either are not wanted at
all or else must be sold at a sacrifice.
We can hardly expect that under these
circumstances this order of things will
be. changed or improved upon; it is
merit that is going to win, and If the
dairyman expects to come out satisfac-
torily at the end Of the year, it is of
the greatest Importance that he start
right. To try and do a little better
than ever before should be the watch
word OF the day.-Progressive Farmer.
Ostrich Eggs.-The ostrich lays an
egg every third day. The eggs are
large. being five to six inches through
the long diameter. and weigh from
three to i've pounds each. The shell
is usually very thick. sometimes one
sixteenth, Of an inch. The contents
resemble that Of hens egg. and
amount to forty fluid ounces. The
period OF Incubation is variously given
at from thirty-eight to forty-two days
and doubtless depends upon the vital
ity and development OF the chick. The
average In California Is thirty-nine
days. The young chick car be heard
In It's shell days before It appears. It
is sometimes necessary to assist the
chick in breaking the shell.-Ex.
Raise the Quality Of Butter.-The de-
mand IN this country Ia for . higher
grade product, and that demand Will
grow, and butter-makers must zee to
It that the demand u supplied. Those

and the law are more in the blame
than the farmer. The horse raiser
should fix his mind definitely upon the
class of. horses that he proposes to pro-
duce, choose his stallion accordingly
and depend upon him for that quality
that always distinguishes the excellent
from the ordinary. He should never,
sleeping or waking, forget his W
limitations, but remember that while
the professional horseman must pro-
duce the breeder, the racer, and the
phenomenal individuals out of the best
material of the world, yet that the pro-
duction' of the great mass of com
mercial horses out of common mares
and by approved sires is his W pc
culiar field, in which good profits can
always be realized, If the farmer keeps
his head and does not produce worth
less stuff. Cheap horses are recruited
with sufficient rapidity from the ranks
above, both by age and accident, ana
we cannot afford to grow them as a
business.
