The BOer War.

London, Oct. 3O-The South African
war has now been in progress nearly three
weeks and so far the British arms have
been consistently crowned with moment
airy successes, though at a cost which veri-
4ies President Krugers prediction that the
conflict would stagger humanity. But
though victory has fallen to Great Britain
whenever and wherever the issues were
of paramount Importance, General White 8
position is scarcely more reassuring than
at the outbreak of the war. So far he has
only shown his ability to outwit by STRAIT
egy the Beers strategy That, in its con-
ceptiOn, meets high praise from the Brit
ish military critics. Now he appears to
have reached the limit of this game of
war by which he was able to prevent the
massing of the Boer columns and must
either meet the enemy's combined forces
or retreat. Many people think that Gen
eral White should rest content with the
successes so far achieved and fall back on
.Coenso, pointing out that he appears to
be fully able to move his forces quickly
and without deterioration. 1t is scarcely
probable that he will follow this course,
preferring rather to hold Ladysmith,
though against much superior numbers,
until reinforced. 1t is the feeling that the
general intends to follow the latter course
that creates uneasiness, for victories over
Beers as units are not believed to indi-
cate that the same result can be achieved
over the Beers when massed.

Wild Rumor From Holland

Berlin, Oct. 3l.-A report received

was sent at express rates, came through
Al the remarkable time of two hours II

JOINT Boer forces has opened.
That the heavy guns of the Beers from

sllenced 50 speedily, as indicated in the
Associated Press dispatch from Lady
smith, Is a matter of great SURPRISE but
the subsequent advance of the burgher
force on the British left flank shows the
attackers were still full of the self CON
hdenee and daring they have already ex.
hlblted on various occasions.
Apparently the Beers have concentrat.
ed Tor supreme effort at Ladysmith.
They have withdrawn their forces from
other points which they consider momen-
tarily to be of less Importance.
The latest news from the western bor-
der has apparently assured the British
authorities as to the ability of Mafeking
and Kimberley to withstand assaults.

Preserving Eggs.

A reader of the Country Gen
tleman asks for a good receipt
for an egg preserver-one that a
man can use who has only twenty
or so dozen eggs week to put
away.
The editor gives the following
which is simple and no doubt eff
fective.
Scare should be taken to Sc.
fect a receptacle from which the
eggs can draw nothing; hence
glass Jars or stone crooks are
preferable. Six gallon glass jars
will hold 20 dozen eggs. Slack
about peck of lime; to this add
six pailfuls of water and three
quarts of salt. This should all
be dissolved, and when settled is
fit to use. Pour the thin lime
water into the jars, cover them
with a cloth, and on this spread a
coating of the thicker lime water.
The solution must stand in the
jars so as to cover the eggs. A
peck of lime will be enough to
preserve about 100 dozen eggs.

Testing Eggs Under Hens.

The poultryman who runs dn in
cMpator through three weeks per-
iod without testing the eggs or
throwing out the infertile ones
would be regarded as queer man
ager. A very small per cent. OF
the eggs set under hens are ever
tested, and until the setter 'comes
oR'' the owner has not the slightest
idea whether she has wasted her
time on worthless eggs or not.
What is economical or desirable
in connection with the incubator is
even more so in regard to the hen,
for if part of two settings are
worthless it is easy to double up
and reset one hen thus saving one
half of their combined services.
The first thing to get is a tester
and lack of this apparatus is the
main reason why so few eggs are
tested. Ready made testesrs may
be secured at a reasonable price OF
any incubator or supply house, but
an ingenious boy can make just as
good one without any expense.
Take a small wooden box such as
can be procured at a confectloners
store, large enough to tit over
common hand lamp, chimney and
all. Take out one end so the box
will slip over the lamp, then cut
hole in the top so the lamp VIII
draw. Then in one side directly
opposite the flame of the lamp, cut
a good sized hole. Over the hole
tack a piece of leather or heavy
black felt in which cut hole about
E1e size of an egg or little smaller.
Your tester is complete. Go to
your nest after dark, have no light
but the lamp in the tester. lay the
hen aside and 60 at it. An exper-
fenced man can test safely on the
sixth or seventh day but a begin
ner had best wait until the tenth.
Hold the egg vertically with the
large end up close to the light. If
the egg is fertile it will show a
dark spot with veins running out
from it and later the whole interior
will be Opaque. If the egg is clear
showing no spot or shade it is in
fertile and maybe thrown out or
boiled for feeding purposes. If a
hen has but eight fertile eggs UNI
der her she will do far better if the
five or seven infertile ones are re-
moved. She will be less apt to
break one and will give better re-
suits in the end. There are many
shades and grades of fertility
known to the expert but a beginner
should not attempt too much and is
doing we'll to get rid Of those which
are plainly worthless.-Practical
