Eggs Are Cheap Food.

Like milk, an egg is complete food. If
fed on eggs alone young animals are
furnished with all necessary elements
for growing bone, muscle and all that
goes to make a perfect animal of it's
kind. A hen may lay 240 eggs per year,
but ought certainly to produce 100.
Eight eggs will weigh a pound, and 100
will weigh about Is pounds, at the cost
of about one bushel of corn, worth on
an average about 50 cents; at this rate
the eggs cost, so far as food is con-
cerned, about a11s cents per pound, or
4.16 cents per Dozen They usually
sell for ~ to Is cents per dozen. and are
better for food at that than beef, pork
or mutton.-American Gard dening.

Feed Corn with Judgment.

Corn should be fed with Judgment.
Old corn is better than new and there
is loss in the crib while waiting for
prices to go up, as corn dries some the
older it gets. Corn that is smutty or
moldy should not be put in the crib,
as it is injurious to all kinds of stock,
producing a disease styled by some
as stomach staggers.' If smutty
corn is placed in the crib with sound
corn there is possibility of the sound
corn being affected. The same rule
applies to corn fodder; use only. that
which is clean and free from blemish.
When cattle refuse certain kinds of
corn fodder the chances are that there
is something wrong with it.-Prairie

Marie Stuart to the archbishop OF

Meat and Grain for Hens.

When meat is given it is not necessary
to allow much grain. For instance, if
meat is fed at noon it will only be neces-
sary to scatter few handfuls of oats
in each pen to keep the inmates at
work. When a hen becomes too fat
she will lay soft-shelled eggs. When
plenty of meat is to be had as one of the
cheapestarticles of food a greater guam
tity of oats may be given. Wheat is
the best all-round food, and with the
waste Of the farm, in conjunction with
meat and the hot morning meal, and
exercise, will bring an abundance of
eggs.-Farm and Fireside.

Ton Of Ammunition to one soldier.

Englishmen, whose sons are now
facing the Beers in the Transvaal, are
getting what comfort they can from
statistics showing that there is only
one chance in a thousand that a sol
dier will be killed in battle, and that,
on the average, ton of ammunition is
expended for every man shot. In the
Crimean war, for example, total OF
nearly 81, 5,ooo,0oO shots were fired, with
a resulting loss of life amounting to
less than 100000, or one soldier killed
to every 1,0s7 shots fired. During the
late civil war in this country it took
2,200 hundred weight of ammunition
on the average, to kill man. Further
statistics show that of the wounds
received in battle As per cent. occur
in the legs, 33 per cent. in the alb
domen, 21 per cent. in the chest and
only one per cent. in the head. Chi

An injunction. which applies to all the
numerous limitations Of ''Uneeda" Biscuit,
has just been granted by the United States
Circuit Court for the Southern District OF

mark "Iwanta'' which was applied to q

that the case is too plain TO waste many

That it has been most extensively adver-
tised, presumably az great expense, is mat
ter of common knowledge. The court re-
fused to accept the plea OF the defendant

his device to avoid confusion was the
adoption Of the word "Iwanta.''
There are, as usual. a number Of minor
differences between the forms and the dress
of the two packages, but no one can look
at both packages without perceiving that
there are strong resemblances which could
easily have been avoided had there been
an honest effort TO give defendants goods
a distinctive dress.
The opinion closes with the comment
that both name and dress are clearly
calculated TO mislead, and the statements
that both were adopted with an eye single
to differentiation, strain the credulity OF
the court beyond the breaking point.
Preliminary injunction was granted
against the use OF the trade name ''Iwanta'
and OF the present style OF package Also
against all similar limitations OF the
"Uneeda" name and package.

Another innovation has been inaugurate1
in the shape of fire telephone, which may
be attached to the fire alarm box nearest
10 the scene of fire and used in eommuni-
eating with headquarters and engine and
truck houses in different parts of the city.
A test OF the new telephone was made by
Commissioner Wight and the District
electrical engineers at the City Hall yes

fectly. 1t is a small square affair. with a
receiver and transmitter, and may be at

Frequently most OF the engines in the
District are drawn TO some remote section
by a large fire, and at the same time a
second fire breaks out in another section
of the city. 1t is then difficult TO COM
municate with the engines at the large
fire so that some of them may be with
drawn for use at the later blaze. Under
the new arrangement. telephones viii lie

deeply affected by the death of Colonel
Britton with whom he was intimately as
sociated in the American Security and
Trust Company. Colonel Britton assumed
control of the affairs of the company in my
absence" he said, land, besides being in
valuable in the assistance he rendered, was
a personal friend, whose death has been a
great loss"
At the courts and the District Building,
where Colonel Britton had large number
of friends, there was the deepest express
; sion of sorrow at his death. Judge Kim
ball said he regarded Colonel Britton as
/ one of the strongest men in the District,
and a man whose influence had always
been exerted in the direction of the great
