sumer when not over three days old to
be strictly fresh. AS we have stated
before, we have had some experience
in buying eggs from farmers for our
large retail trade in fancy goods.
While we can always rely on eggs from
certain farms, we look closely at eggs
from probably the next farm. We
were asked the other day if we didn't
think that a person could rely on get
ting really fresh eggs by Offering a
cent or two more than the market
price for eggs. We answered with an
emphatic no. To illustrate this point:
A certain party near here gets eggs,
beside his own, from some dozen
neighbors, giving more for them than
the market price. One day he was
asked by another neighbor, who keeps
a good many hens Che is progressive
farmer of good report) if he would
take his eggs also. The party said
yes. The following week, after get
ting eggs from this new place a Gus
toner said that several eggs were bad
and made quite time about 1t. The
next time eggs were gotten from TINS
farm they were tested and several
were found to be bad, which finished
the egg trade in that direction. NOW
this farmer would have been highly
insulted if he had been called dis
honest, yet he certainly was. Eggs
must be gathered daily and keep in a
cool, fresh smelling place until sold.
Old eggs or new nest'' eggs should be
sold as such. They will find ready
market for culinary purposes, but If
taken to the store they will doubtless
be sold as fresh" eggs. Country

GROWING MUSHROOMS.
Among the Grass on the Front Lawn
and How to Do 1t.


A Philadelphia correspondent de-
sires to have mushrooms grow among
the grass on his lawn, and asks how
to go about Sowing the seed.'' The
mushroom "seed" is the fine black
dust that is expelled from ripening
mushroom. It takes profound garden
ing skill to get these to grow, and it
is only attempted by those who make
virgin spawn a business. Spawn is
the real mushroom plant of which the
mushroom itself is the inforescence.
This is the cob-like material that
gives the mushroom odor to the earth
in which the mushrooms grow. 1t is
not destroyed by dessication; but will
live for years in condition of abb
solute dryness. In this state the plant
is sold by seedsmen in the form of
mushroom bricks-the plant having
been made to grow thoroughly
through the brick material, before en-
tirely dried. These bricks are broken
in pieces about the size of walnuts
and planted by those who cultivate
mushrooms. Broken in pieces and
planted in the lawn, the correspon-
ent could have mushrooms. But lit
tie gardening knowledge is necessary.

Fresh Eggs.

How old must an egg be to be
strictly fresh? We would say that that
would dedpend on the weather, says
the Epitomist. During cold weather
week old egg will be strictly fresh,
but half that time is all that will be
allowed during warm weather. We
have been asked how to preserve eggs
so as to keep them fresh from three
to six months. There is no way that
it can be done. Unlike wine, eggs do
not improve with agel A fresh egg
must be fresh laid or it will not be
fresh. Packed eggs are sold for such
and can be readily told by almost any
one. BY far too many people pay too
little attention to gathering and SELL
ing their eggs. They seem to think
that the egg from the "new nest. is as
good as any, or eggs kept for two
weeks are fresh eggs. This is not so,
and when taken to the store or sold,
1t is purely dishonest. During hot
weather eggs ought to reach the con-

The present holder of the title of the

old family, dating back to the reign of
Richard II, and the British public does
not look with favor upon the ANCIENT
title of Warwick being formed into
a. limited liability company for ex-
ploitation on the Stock Exchange.
The title of the Earl of Warwick
dates back to Saxon times, when the

The present holder of the title and
bearer of the name has not shed lustre
upon anything. Perhaps he will be

ventures. Lady Warwick has of late
been interesting herself in several
quasi-philanthropic schemes, one of
which is the Lady Warwick Hotel, at

Care of Turkey COOpS.

A turkey hates to get into her coop
at night unless it has been moved dur
ing the day, writes Miss E. J. Pine in
Turkeys and How to Grow them." If
it is changed every day she soon re-
CARDS it 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 young turkey in confinement.
I 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. L
think it is a good plan to keep box
skunk trap set at night near the coops.
When the turkeys get large enough to
fly over 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 can, which
takes me outdoors no more than is nee
essary for my good health. have had
them so wild that they have caused me

by introducing new blood through

It is only the best that is always in

It will be seen that the remarkable
advance of Russian supplies during the
lastsfewz 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, and
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 s1611, ,945; last
year it was little more than half, and
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 are among the
cheapest, the average value has natur-
ally been reduced.

PORTO RICO TRADE
Report Of New IOsk Merchants As
 SOCiaiiOR'S Representative.

New York, June 7-William R. Cor
 wine of the Merchants association, who was sent by that organization a
 few weeks ago to study the trade con-
 ditions in Porto Rico, has just re-
 turned to the o.ty. He said today
 that, after making a trip through the sugar, coffee and tobacco districts, he is of the opinion that the great barrier to the expansion of American tra ie with Porto Rtco was the tariff.
 Tn taking the islands away from Spain," said MT Corwine, we took away a large portion of it's markets and have not provided any substitute. In other words, under Spanish rule practically all the tobacco raised went to Cuba. Now that th4 Cuban market is shut off by the tariff and Spain has ceased to be a customer, there is no market in which the islands tobacco can be sold, as the Porto Rican article is not known in the United States This year the crop is about one-third of the normal, and some of it $ not even being harvested. In the same way the coffee market has been ser iously restricted. Porto Rican coffee has always commanded high prices in Spain, but Is little known in this country. The United States have gen erally taken a large part of the sugar crop, but there are certain grades of refined sugar which, prohibited by the tariff, here, have found market abroad.
 ''The effect of the curtailment of these markets is to limit the puTchas- ing power of the peopl, which in turn is felt in the orders placed for mer- chandise in this country The crops form the basis of the islands purchas- ing power, as there age few manufac- lures. With no chances Of extending the market for the crops, the prospect Of extending American trade there is not very fiattering one. The present tariff is also operating against impor- tations by placing heavy burdens On the importer. Under the Spanish tariff there were many concessions made in favor of goods bought n Spain; as far as Spain was concerned there was practically free trade be- tween the mother country and the colony. There are no concessions now
