nary gradations of the egg-the new

simply the "egg." of which the pur-
veyor could not even boast that it was
good enough to cook with. but the pur-
chaser could not deny that it really was
an egg. This was the class of egg used,
so some aver. to give the gloss to con-
PETITIONERS pastry; and below even the
rank of commercial utility there was
still the election egg. handy missile
whose dement's rs a comestible became
virtues when exploded upon an opposi-
ton platform. Here, one might have
thought. we had reached the very low
est depths of eggdom; but it seems
that there is yet another grade. namely,
the renovated egg. This is an egg
which has become too palpably stale,
soiled and midewy in appearance TO
be sold under any appellation what
ever until composition OF diluted VT

The vender will not exactly guaran-
tee that the eggs are new-laid. but
"they've just come in. and you can see
for yourself. ma'am. what they're like"
So the purchaser purchases; but. alas!
the virtues of the diluted vitrol have
not penetrated beyond the shell. and it
is distressed ledger who rings up fhe
landlady to tell her that the breakfast

have been an election egg at least a
month previously-London Globe.

GREEN BONES AS FOOD.
As . Special Material for Egg PrOduO-
tiOn They Are Really With
eat Rival.

The value of bone cutter exceeds its
cost il the cutter is used only one sea-
son. but as they are almost indestruct-
ible they will last for years Fresh
green bone is almost OF itself a COM
plete food. and may be used as special
material for egg production While the
proportion of moisture in bone varies.
il is in but small amount ia bone com
pared with some other foods. The
moisture in bone may be set down at
about 35 per cent. or a little over one
third. Bone contains about - pounds
of mineral matter in l00 pounds. 20
pounds of fat and 90 pounds of albu-
minods. The mineral matter tor ash)
contains about 81 pounds of phosphate
of lime in 100 pounds, llb pounds OF
carbonate of lime and a small proper
ton or earthly matter. Now. anyone
can easily notice that a bone is one OF
the best foods for producing eggs. as
the fat assists in forming the yolk of
the egg and also in sustaining the fowl
in winter when the weather is cold
The albuminoids provide the albumeu
for the eggs. and the carbonate of lime
forms the shells. while the phos phate
OF lime is an ingredient of the eggs and
is also just the thing to feed to growing
chicks TO make them grow. Then there
is more or less adhering meat to green
bone which is largely nutritious and
very favorable to the production Of
eggs. There is no necessity for feeding
oyster shells to provide lime for the
eggshells, as the bone contains car
Donate of lime in sufficient proportion
for that purpose. Bone is digestibe
and is food. yet il also serves as grit:
but in that respect no claims are made
for it compared with hard. sharp grit.
Do not confound green cut bone with
ground bone or bone meal The one is
dry and hard, the other is juicy and
succuent. Another point is that a bone
cutter is not bone mill The bone
cutter does not grind. but cuts (as fine
as may be wished) both dry and green
bones. but bone mill will only grind
dry bones. as green bones are not suf.
ficiently brittle to be ground. The way
to feed green bone is to give it in the
morning about pound to dozen
hens (some give an ounce to each hen.
or a pound to 1G fowls). then give no
other food until night, but let the hens
scratch and work Two or three times
a week half the quantity of bone may
be used, giving also cut clover ground
foods. etc, but always give full meal
of whole grain at night as too much
soft food is not conducive to thrift

THE CORN KERNEL.
Its Chemistry Explained in a BuIIe-
tin Issued by the Illinois Ex-
pertinent Station.

Bulletin SO Of the Illinois Expert
ment station treats of the chemistry of
the corn kernel. In part it says:
By mechanical means the corn kernel
has been separated into four different
parts. These may be designated (see
cut) as a, the coat, or hull, of the kerr
uel; b, the hard glutenous layer I'M
derneath the hull much thicker at the
sides than at the crown: C. the chit. or
germ, and d. the starchy matter con-
stituting the chief body of the kernel.
The germ is about ~ per cent. of the
kernel but it contains nearly twice as
much mineral matter and three or four
times as much oil as all of the rest of
the kernel. The germ is also rich in
protein, but the chief part of that con-
stituent is contained in the glutenous
layer. The hulls and starchy portion
of the kernel consists largely of car

QualIty Determinea PRICE.

Make it point to have your poultry
Of the best quality before shipping to
market, says the New York Produce
Review. One who is not accustomed to
visiting the large markets knows moth
ing of the enormous amount of inferior
poultry that is sold and which largely
affects the prices, yet there is always
q demand for that which is good and al
a price above the regular quotations.
The asserting of the carcasses before
shipping also leads to better prices. Old
ROSTERS, which seldom sell at more
than half price, should not be in the
same boxes or barrels with better stock,
and to ship poultry alive and have
ROSTERS in the coop with fat hens is
simply to lower the price of the hens,
as the buyer will estimate the value by
the presence of the inferior stock In
fact. never send any poultry to market
ur less in first-class condition, and I'M
der no circumstances ship the inferior
with that which is better.

THE FARMERS LOT.
In the Main Ia Is Prosperous and
Happy One All over the
United States.

Because the farmer does not receive
every year for his crops and stock a
high price, he should not permit him
self to grow Indifferent and think farm
ing a nonpaying business. Like any
other vocation farming has its ups and
downs. Some farmers. however, seem
tC think that hard times" are going to
be with us always. Not so. The am
bilious. progressive, scientific farmer is
prospecting to-day and has no time to
complain. Those who take a gloomy
view of everything, and see failure
where there is success. can never hope
10 improve their conditions by will-o'-
the-wisp methods
Above all. the farmer should be hope
full and not easily discouraged, which
is in most cases unwarranted Your
own efforts will do more toward salts
flying the mortgage on your farm than
the political party with which you may
be allied.
Practical, scientific, well directed.
carefully studied work are the farmers
weapons with which to com bat adyer-

farmer who thinks those of his calling
absolutely lost and can never get out OF

The condition of the farming class of

SPECIALITY FARMING.
II Draws Constantly on the Fertility
of the Soil without PermIt-
ting Renovation.

Speciality farming means devoting
the larger part of the time TO the pro-
auction OF one crop. This crop may be
wheat, corn or cotton and there are
large sections in this country devoted
almost wholly to one or another of
these crops. One years failure of the
special crop of any of these sections
means serious Inconvenience to farm
ers, and failure for two or more sue
cessive years leads to ruin. From the
orange groves of Florida and the cane
lands OF Louisiana to the wheat fields
Of North Dakota the speciality farmer is
liable to work without profit because of
barren years or low prices. 1t is true
that each section is better for some one
crop than for any other, and it is good
policy to devote a considerable part of
the time and the farm to that crop The
good farmer will endeavor to learn
which crop is he most profitable, and
that having been settled he will try to
learn everything that is to be known
about that particular crop. AT the same
time he will learn something concern
ing every other crop which he can
grow, in order that he may diversity his
productions as much as possible.
Specially farming is always destruc-
tive farming, as ii makes a rotation of
crops impossible and draws constantly
