When this is done it will not injure the

feeds for working horses is cut hay, mois-

with the meal causes the horse to mas
ticate it, and the whole is much more
quickly and easily digested than whole
grain. In fuct. whole oats often come

Packing Eggs for ShiDnent.

The egg season will soon he here again
so few words as to the packing of
eggs will not be out of place, says
Michigan correspondent of the Prairie
Farmer. Perhaps my plan is not the
best but it is good one, cheap, neat,
safe and reliable and these are the i'm
portant things to be looked after. Some
poultrymen ship all eggs for Matching in
boxes. While this may be a good way it
is the writer's experience that eggs
shipped in boxes do not hatch as well
as those shipped In baskets. I always
use baskets to ship my eggs in and have
never had report Of broken eggs or bad
matches. never send out anything but
fresh eggs and if my customers do not
get fair hatch I will duplicate at half
yet. This is the way pack the eggs:
| place a paper in the basket both OH the
bottom and sides, cut ST as to tit nicely.
Next l place layer Of excelsior two or
three inches thick ON the bottom of the
basket, and around the sides and ends
place lining of the excelsior one or two
inches thick. We now have a nice place
i'll the center for the eggs. Roll each egg
in piece of soft paper, using just enough
to look neat, then with one end of the
basket toward you place layer of eggs
in it and pack firmly together Hold
them in place with the left hand and
with the right take small quantity of
the excelsior and place it between each
egg; proceed in like manner until all the
eggs are in the basket and then pack
more excelsior carefully and firmly
around the edges. This is necessary as
it serves as a spring to break the Earring
in shipment. Now stretch a muslin over
the top Of the basket and with bag
needle and stout cord sew the cover on
stout and firmly through the sides of the
basket. Be sure and draw the cover
down tight as it will keep the eggs from
EARRING loose. Place label OIL the bask-
ct with Eggs for Matching: handle with
care written on it. also a card with ship
ready for the expressman, and with a
weight of generally not more than FIVE
pounds all complete. Loose packing will
result in broken eggs.

Brigl,Oli.

Brlgnoli was also very susceptible to
nattery and it is said that once in New
York when the orchestra vigorously an
piauded one of his fayorite songs, he was
so touched that he came down to the
footlights and invited them all to a cham
payne supper at the Everett house. The
supper cost him $500. Brignoli was very
careful of his voice, and was terribly
afraid OF draughts. It was once stated
that during the winter it always took
INN three-quarters of an hour to get
from his room to the street. First he
would, on leaving his room, pace the
hall for ten minutes to get acclimated
He then descended to the lobby where
the temperature was little lower, and
spent twenty minutes there. He then
1entured to the vestibule from which
the door opened into the street. He
would parade the vestibule for fifteen
minutes, occasionally opening the door to
let III little cold air. Being now ac-
customed to a cool temperature, he would
button up his coat and sally forth.
He once agreed to sing solo at St.
Agnes church, New York city. He came
i'll late and after divesting himself of
many coverings, tumbling over music
racks and exasperating the choir by try
ing his voice, he came to the conclusion
that he was ready. By this time, how
Brignoli, unabashed, leaned over the
choir railing and tried to attract the at
tention of the preacher by shaking his
head and gesticulating with his hands
At last he called out in voice which
was audible for some distance, me
ready for re sing! Stoppa re preach!
Stoppa re preach!' And the priest ac-
tually cut the sermon short in order to
accommodate the impatient tenor, whose
voice now rang out with such fervor as
to- thrill the worshipers and justify the
sacritice.-Henry G. Lahee in tho Nation

Some Hints About Butter.

In the days of long ago, when a farm
ers wife had to make butter in the Win
ter, she would strain the milk into a shall
low pan, and set it on the back Of the
stove or perhaps over a kettle of boiling
water and scald the milk until nearly all
the cream had risen to the top, and she
would make nice butter, about as good as
winter creamery, il the COW was a good
one and we'll fed
1t is true that the kitchen was not al-
ways free from the odors of food that had
been cooked there, or even of the to-
hacco pipe, but, as the heated air above
the stove was continually passing up
ward, it is possible that very little of
these doors or of any bacterial germs
could settle in the milk after it was put
on to scald. They went upward with the
air current. and if there were not other
odors in the pantry where the milk was
placed to cool, thew were not perceptible
in the flavor Of the butter.
While the modern methods may make
more uniform butte, product, yet where
but one cow is kept, and separators or
shotgun cans for deem setting are not
available, there are those who make good
butter by this primitive method even nows

Saving Brush for Kindling.

In pruning orchards the branches cut
out are often piled up i'll heaps and when
dried are burned, often injuring the trees
in their vicinity, says the American Gull
tivator. There is a much better way
than this. Apple, pear or peach wood
makes when dried very hot fire, and
should be saved for the stove when the
branches are too large to cut readily.
Even the twigs have their value They
make the very best Of kindliilgs when
dried, and if they are somewhat crooked
they are all the better, because they will
not pack closely together as the straight
sticks are pretty sure to do. An old
story is told of a farmer who once boast
ed among his companions what good,
patient wife he had. She never COM
planned of anything he did. One of them
suggested that the next time he drew up
wood for the house he should make a
load of the crookedest sticks he could
find. He did so. and as he drew up the
load to the house his wife came out smil-
ing to meet him. Mary, how do you
like this load of wood?' was the inquiry.
while the farmers companions stood by
expecting a storm of abuse. Instead the
reply was given III the sweetest tones,
"Oh, John! that is capital wood. We al
ways used 1t at home when 1 was girl.
and mother used to say that the rounded
pieces made the hottest fire because they
fitted so nicely around the kettles"

Is Morning Milk Best?

There is a general belief that the en-
tire rest which the COW gets mt night
makes the morning milk richer than
that which she gives at night after more
or less exercise through the day, says
the Tennessee Farmer. But if the ex-
ercise in daytime takes anything from
the milk, it is more likely to use up the
albuminoids, or strengthening elements,
and thus leave the milk richer. Yet the
mornings milk may be richer in butter
fats for an entirely different reason.
There is reason to believe that all the
time that milk is forming in the udder
it is losing some of it's butter fats which
are being absorbed by the COW. The
strippings or milk last formed is for this
reason richer than that first taken. In
summer time there is a shorter time be-
tween milking at morning than at night,
and consequently there is Il greater pro-
portion of strippings i'll the smaller mess
of milk
