How to Tell Fresh Eggs.

A correspondent of the Dakota Farmer asks ''Is there any sure way of distinguishing perfectly fresh eggs from tainted ones, or those that have been set upon by hens for several days ? 1andling is quite a sure method, but if there is any other I would be glad to know it. The following reply is given: "To the experienced eye the 'oughish or granulated surface of the perfectly fresh egg distinguishes it at once from the more shiny or polished surface of the one that has been under the hen day or two. We can pick out every fresh egg among q nestful of those that have been sat on two days, even in the dark. The secret is very simple. Just scratch over the surface with the finger nail, if it grates the egg $ fresh, but if the nail slides smoothly the egg is old. A little practice makes this a sure test

FROM CUR TO KING.
That "Every Dos Has His Day" Is In- terestingIy ExemDIihed by an
 English Canine.

Police Constable Dale, of the Leam- ington (England) force, has a kind heart, and he has found that kindness pays, says the London Sketch. In Jan- nary of the past year he saw one day a sad sight in the streets-a poor. eTna- ciated and most misera ble-looking spaniel being dragged along, tied to the back of q dust cart. He not only pitied the poor animal but came to his res cue. After ascertaining from the dust man that the dog had been given 10 him by lady who wanted to get rid of it, and who certainly must have been without a particle of womanliness or humanity, Dale purchased the dog for shilling. He took him home, care fully tended and fed him, and King Kruger (for that is the name he has given his peD has now developed into a beautiful silky-haired field spaniel.

LARGEST RANCH IN WORLD.
Its Area Ia Greater Than That of Rhode IsIand and Delaware
 Combined.

IL seems natural that the largest ranch in the world should be found in the largest state in the uniun-TeXas, writes William Clinton. ill Ladies' Home Journal. Indeed. this ranch is so extensive that some states could not contain it. Connecticut. for example. could not hold it by several thousand acres. The two states of Rhode Island and Delaware combined could not con tain this immense ranch, ss ilch con sists of 3.OC0.C00 acres, or about 5000 square miles.
 About dozen years ago, when Texas needed new state capitol, the legis- lature adopted novel plan to get it. A promise was held forth that vast tract of unaprropriated land would be given in exchange for suitable gran ite building at Austin. Among those tempted by this offer were eXSenator Charles B. Farwell and his brother John. who ultimately formed q syndi- cate in Chicago and took upon them selves the responsibility of erecting the proposed capitol. Their part Of the agreement appears to have been car ried out to the satisfaction or the state. and in due time they came into he pos session of the immense domain now known as the x. I. T. ranch.

WINTER MATCHING.
Everthing Considered, There Is Not Much
 Money in It.

Everthing Considered, There Is Not Much
 Money in It.
 Eggs are too valuable in winter to be used for matching purposes unless one is confident of securing good hatches and of raising the chick, says the Mirror and Farmer. To use a dozen eggs from which only six chicks ccme, and then lose three of them, means an expendi- ture of four eggs for one chick, and no one can afford the cost in that respect. The heaviest loss of chicks is with hens not with incubators and breeders and this fact should not be overlooked. It is admitted that in the spring and summer when the hen has everything in her favor she will be more serviceable than the brooder, but in the winter, when cold winds, ice, snow and rains prevail, the hen has a difficult undertak- ing to care for herself instead of at tempting to raise q brood, and as rule, the hens are fortunate if they raise one half of the chicks matched.
 When hen becomes broody make her nest in a warm place, and when she brings off her brood have a place pre- pared for her, under shelter and where the sunlight can come. Be careful that the chicks are not exposed or become chilled, and aim to raise everyone of them. In. that case the chicks will pay because the expense of the eggs used will be reduced by reason of the larger number of chicks marketed.

key as big as hog, but they do want a fat turkey.
 It seems to us that there is a good deal of room for improvement in breeding turkeys for the market. That a bird shorter in legs and neck, and very full in the breast, would be more desirable. One that would be meaty and plump, and capable of taking on a great deal of fat.
 The heavy weight, tall, rawboned toms that weigh 25 to 40 0pounds may be suited to a barbecue feast, but they are not the kind that the man with an ordinary size market basket looks for when he goes to the city market.
 There would be more demand, and better sale for turkeys all the year through, if they were grown more with a view to compact body, meat and fat, than for large size and coarse structure. HI. B. Geer, in Midland Poultry Jour nal.

ABOUT CORN FODDER.
Some Valuable Hints About Shredding,
 Storing and Feeding.

Some Valuable Hints About Shredding.
 Storing and Feeding.
 Combined corn huslers and fodder cutters or shrCdders were used to linn tied extent in this section of country some years since, but think none are used now. ImpGrfections in material, workmanship, and i'll principle of con struction, as then made, and the ex- pensc Of operating, will account for their failure to obtain a foothold among the labor-saving machines of our country. All except the last of these objections have been overcome in the latter machines, which are TOW be- fore the public.
 For several years past all the shred- ding that has been done in this section has been with the common small-grain thrcshcr-mostly with old machines. While they do not t!o the work quite IS well as the special corn machinery HOW in use, the expense of purchasing the latter is avoided by the use of the thresher.

Ouiek work a Sure Winner.

A good many farmers have late sum- mer pigs that they are not giving much attention, but are letting them rough it till winter sets in, when they will begin to feed for spring market. Why not rush them when feed is most plentiful and the weather pleasant? Itis great leal cheaper to feed pig when he en- joys sleeping out of doors than it is to feed him when he must be sheltered. Don't map out to feed for a certain market, but rather to get the pig fat as quickly as possible. The market is ready. Quick work is a surer winner than planning for imaginary high nricpS

 Our dry aUtumrs are very favorable for

 November and December. know that
 in northern Ohio inc corn was never
 ready to shell ani stcre in bulk before
 winter set ir: therefore, I think the
 huskers and sir2tl1ers should Ee bet

 where the season is comparatively
 short and the autumn moist. Ear corn can he safely stored in large quantities when so damp that if shelled and. piled up it would certainly Ee lost. As be- fore stated, the fodder must be dry W hen it is t!ircshed; for damp atovcr is q great material to develop heat when shredded and stored in large quantities. A little of the natural juice remaining within the stalk is not nearly 50 bad as outside moisture from rain or dew.
 The western pl2n is to run the shred ded stover directly into large racks in the feed yard, where two CT three men mow it away, same as they would now or stack straw from the machine, being careful to keep the center full and well tramped so it will turn wa ter perfectly. A r2ck 1GX32 feet should hold good-day's threshing, or about 12 acres of ordinGry fodder, without mak- ing the rack very high. Racks arc made by setting posts in the ground and mailing cn fencing, beginning four or five feet from the ground and running them as high Gs necessary. To keep the thing from spreading, the wires are tied together by putting wires across and twisting them together with a stick to tighten them. Around the rack a manager is constructed with fencing boards and pests for the cattle to eat out of.
 The sketch herewith will serve to show the principle of constructing; it shows a small rack which is very con- venient for feeding straw or hay in the yard, as well as for fodder, when it is made On a larger scalc. The lower part of the manager. being the opening fc~ heads of cattle to pass through, should be boarded up tight for feeding fodder. The railing about the opening should be strong pole or q hardwood 2X4.-- George T. Petit, in Ohio Farmer.

Wonderful Work of Bees.

Bees must, in order to collect a pound of clover honey, deprive 62,009 clover blossoms of their nectar. To do this the 62, ,OOO flowers must be visited by an aggregate of 3,75O,0OO bees. Or, in other words, to collect it's pound of honey one bee must make 3,75o,0oO trips from and to the hive. The enor- nous amount of work here involved precludes the idea of anyone that one bee ever lived long enough to gather more than fraction of a pound of nee tarine sweets. As bees are known to fly for miles in quest of suitable fields of operation, it is clear that a single ounce of honey represents millions of miles of travel. It is no wonder that these industrious little insects have earned the reputation of being ''busy'' beeS

MARKETING TURKEYS.
Birds of Medium Size and Weight Are
 the Best Sellers.

We can offer a pointer on marketing turkeys that we discovered whife buy - ing Christ mas turkeys in the city mar kct. and that is the superiority of med;ur.-sized turkeys over 20 to 24 poundcis, as sellers. People, as rule, do ret want enough turkey at one time to lay a banquet spread, and consc- quently they pick for something small, or not exceeding medium in size
 The hen turkeys always sell first, simply because they are more suited in size to the wants of the ordinary fam fly.
