Everybody knows that in hot
weather the exposure Of eggs for two
or three days to summer temperature
affects their quality for eating. But
it is commonly supposed that for set
ting in an incubator or under n hen
any egg that is from week to ten
days old is as good as one that is
freshly laid. This is a great mistake.
Unless brooded so constantly that the
egg will never be chilled, the germ of
life started into growth by heat during
the day is pretty sure to be chilled at
night. When the young life is started
it should never be allowed TO get cold.
But even if cared for in the best way,
the egg a few days old is inferior. Its
shell is porous, and as the moisture
from the inside exhales through it the
air space becomes larger inside, and
the shell is harder for the young chick
to peck through. The best results
are found from setting eggs the day
when they are laid, and, if possible,
while still warm from the hen which
laid them.

A COW was fed ii pounds Of corn
meal a day and made 160 pounds of
butter in 80 days. III another COW of
the same herd was fed over eight
pounds she began to take on fat. A
COW will eat much more rich grain
feed, If she is fed succulent feed, than
she will if she is not The ratio of
heterogeneous and -nitrogenous nu-
trients in the cows ration should be
about La. Selection and good feed
ing are the road to COW development.
Four pounds of corn meal, two poun Is
of oil meal, four pounds of bran and
four pounds of oats make an ideal
ration for the COW. A COW that has
been compelled to do all that she can
do right along, ought to be worn ont
at nine years old. If the mixer is
strange, or if the COW does not like
him, the milk will contain less butter
fat. A COW that is four or five years
old will give more butter fat than a
two-year old heifer. The greater
the quantity of milk, the larger the
quantity of butter fat. 1t is best to
get rid of hard mixer. The COW
cun Uuiut Her Mllk Dy breathing I'M
pure air. There is great deal of
butter that is spoiled by too high col
orIng. Plant corn for ensilage this
year, if milk aud healthy cows are de-
sired next winter. Ii some cows that
are utterly prOfltless. were fed as
dairymeu feed, aud properly cared
for, they would prove to be excellent
cows. Feed heifers, with their first
calves, quite literally. Feed oats in
the bundle and save expense of thresh-
ing. Turnips and cabbages may be
fed in limited quantities 10 hours be-
fore milking. Tuberculosis is local
disease, and will attack various parts
OF the system, sometimes the udder.
The more fat there is in milk the more
and richer cheese it will make. The
coverel barnyard is fine thing for
the herd. Have shade in the pasture
even if you have to build an open
she'd. Water that is exposed to the
air in a tank, soon becomes foul and
unfit for the COW to drink. The Epi-

TARDY PREPARATION.

Spuntrios Like People Cannot Do
Wrong with Impunlty.
France has tried to comfort herself
yith tho reflection that the life OF ono
Jew is unimportant, and that her inter-
tests may best be served by an act of
possible lawlessness, says the Specta-
r.. But her hopes are doomed to dis
(pointment and all her casulstry is
no avail. Piece by piece the truth
Is been uncovered, and though
france has opposed discovery with
added deceit she has today no chance
OF going backward. She will be forced
to perform with an i'll grace a common
act OF reparation, which some years
ago might most gracefully have been
performed. But she cannot for half
century undo the evil which her un-
Righteousness has caused. Discredited
throughout Europe, she stands sullied
among the nations, finding no conf
dence In her institutions. and inspiring
nothing else than distrust. And the
moral OF 1t all is that nations, no more
than individuals, may stamp upon the
elementary rules of right and wrong.
The morality which governs peoples is
not precisely the same as governs men
in the conduct OF their lives a coun-
try has not the same high obligation of
truth and outspokenness as is laid
upon separate citizens. But countries,
too. have their truth, and while they
may simulate before rivals, they must
exact within their borders love of
Justice. No detection may pass with
impunity; when once the sense OF duty
is obscured disaster is certain; for
there always remains one taper OF
light to illumine the dim places. Had
M. Zola never pierced the darkness
then France might have had the salts
faction of keeping forever under lock
and key man who she knew had been
Illegally condemned; she might still
have declared with infinite scorn that
her action was an affalre de cuisine
and that Jew hRd no right to a gen.
erous protection. And though she
would have suffered in herself. when
the moment of bmttle came she might
for while have escaped the notice OF
Europe. But NJ. Zola was not to be
extinguished; he revealed to the whole,
world his country's injustice and made
an ultimate reparation necessary. The
national confidence in the army will
for awhile be shaken, but justice will
presently be re-estabIished, and with II
"a proper sense OF patriotism.

!! FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
wedding Ryo from wheat.

The wheat-growing farmer dislikes
much to cultivate rye, because where
ever grown on the same farm some Of
the rye will find its way through straw
or manure to the fields where the
wheat is grown. II is not difficult
matter to separate the two grains ms
they grow in the field together. The
rye heads out several days earlier than
wheat, and it spires up foot or more
higher, making it very conspicuous.
1t is an easy matter to go through the
fields with pair of shears and clip of
all the rye heads, cutting down low
enough to reach those that are behind
in growth. Wheat that is free from
rye is worth several cents more per
bushel, and, of course, wheat free from
rye should always be used for seed.

Cultivation of Vegetables.

To secure good crop of vegetables
three things, at least, are necessary,
namely: suitable soil, pure seed, and
clean culture, to which may be added,
as equally necessary, an abundant
supply of good barnyard manure, sup
plemented when this runs short by
artificial fertilizers. The exposure OF
n vegetable garden should be perfect
ly south or southwest. The soil should
be naturally rich and friable, sandy
loan being the best; if the soil be stiff
it should be gradually mellowed by
the free use of barnyard manure or if
convenient by the addition of sand; if
wet or inclined to hold an excess OF
moisture it should be underdrained,
preferably by tile, but il possible a
location should be selected naturally
dry and free from surface water. A
dark colored soil or one supplied with
q goodly portion of decayed vegetable
matter will produce the earliest crops,
and to produce the best and most
uniform results the vegetable garden
should have at least one foot of good,
rich soil. The roots of large trees
should not be allowed to encroaoh on
any part of the garden, though large
trees, especially evergreens, sufficiently
far off, afford valuable protection ON
the north and west.

Red-headed people, as is we'll known,
are less subject to badness than 9TH
ers. A London doctor explains the
matter thus: The hair of the red
headed is relatively thick. one red hair
being almost as thick as FIVE fair or
three brown hairs. With 10000 red
hairs the scalp is well thatched, wher.-
as with the same number of fair hairs
one is comparatively bald. 1t takes
10000 fair and 100000 brown hairs to
cover adequately an ordinary head.

PRIMITIVE CHRONOLOGY.
In Mexico Months Are Named After tho
Arrival of Birds.

Arrival OF Birds.
The most primitive method In chro-
nology is that which enables man to
orient himself in tho world Of time by
associating particular lurations with
vicksitudes OF weather, with seasonal
aspects OF vegetation, and with the
constantly changing sights and sounds
of the animal world. Gays Popular Sci
ence Monthly. In the calendar of the
Crees, for example. we find such desig-
nations as "duck-month.' frog
moon," "leaf-moon." "berries-ripe
MONTH" "buffalo-rutting moon, y
"leaves entirely changed" "leaves In
tho trees" "fsh-catching moon, y
moon that strikes the earth cold,
coolest moon," "ice-thawlng moon, "
"eagles-seen moon" So in the calen-
dars OF Central America and Mexico
the months are named variously after
the arrival of birds, the blossoming OF
flowers. the blowing Of winds, the re-
turn of mosquitoes and the appearance
of fishes. The Greeks constantly used
the movements of birds to mark the
seasons; the arrival of the swallow and
kite were thus noted. Hesiod tells us
how the cry of the crane slgnaled the
departure of winter, while the sitting
of the pleiades gave notice to the plow-
man when to begin his work. The In
