THE RENOVATED EGG.
New Grade of Hens Fruit Has just
Made Its Appearance In the Cheap
Shops of London.

The family doctor" is responsible
for new terror, This is the renovated
egg. We are all familiar with the ordi-
nary gradations Of the egg-the new
laid egg, the fresh egg, the breakfast
egg, the family egg and the cooking
egg. And, after these, used to come
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, a handy missile
whose dement's as 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 mildewy in appearance to
be sold under any appellation what
ever until a composition of diluted Wit
riol has been applied to it. Then the
shell puts off its hues of decay and
CLEANS with maiden snow-white
purity that tempts the too trustful
passer-by.
The vender will not exactly guaran-
tee that the eggs are new-laid, but
"theyve 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 vitriol have
not penetrated beyond the shell, and it
is distressed LOGGER who rings up the
landlady to tell her that the breakfast
egg which she has provided ought to
have been an election egg at least a
month previously.--London Globe.

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-
duction 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
crs, and failure for two or more sue
cesSve years leads to ruin, From the
orange groves of Florida and the cane
lands of Louisiana to the wheat fields
of North Dakota the specially 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 Il considerable part Of
the time and the farm to that crop. The
good farmer will endeayor to learn
which crop is the most profitable, and
that having been settled he will try to
learn everything that is to be Known
about that particular crop ~ 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 it makes a rotation Of
crops impossible and draws constantly
on the fertility of the soil without per-
hitting renovation except by the direct
application of fertilizers, a costly way
Of maintaing fertility, no matter what
is used for this purpose,
The farmer who plants variety Of
crops, keeps sheep, cattle and hogs and
takes good care Of everything, is al
ways ready for any season or any Pc
culiar condition of the markets. He
may not have any especially fat years,
but he will never have total loss to con-
tend with and on the whole will have
greater profits and fewer losses
