Nest Eggs For tho uen,

We have found in our experience
that hens have favorite nest and they
will return to il to lay, nest egg or no
nest egg, and when they become
broody they seem TO want to sit on the
hay or anything the nest contains,
eggs or no eggs. And we do not lose
sight of the fact that nostful of eggs
is always inviting to hen. Shc will
enjoy adding another to the store aud
will leave the nest with her congratu-
lations expressed in an audible manner.
We would suggest that If nest eggs
have to be employed that real eggs be
not used for that purpose. All eggs
that are to be sold should be gathered
while fresh, and kept so until they
are sold or used. II eggs were gath
cred frequently and not permitted to
remain in the nests long, there would
be fewer instances of hens eating
eggs. Iowa Homestead.

The Limit In Dairying.

There are some who believe that
the limit OF the cows productive
capacity has been reached, and that
the record-breaking animals can never
hope to exceed what they have done
already. As q rule, those who talk
about the limit Of the cows capacity,
and think that dairying cannot be
further improved along this line, fail
to consider often what is moro i'm
portant to them individually. Grant
ed that the highest record for milk
and cream has been scored, it would
still be fancy OF the brain to imagine
that the productive capacities of any
number of cows have been reached.
Where We find one COW that even be.
gins to approach the limit OF her
capacity we see fifty that have not be-
gun to climb upward. Dairying is
thus far from its limit. il cannot
approach such limit until more than
q majority Of the cows on the dairy
farms have been graded up to their
highest standard, and the minority
show some effects Of the improve
ment.-American Cultivator.

Tho Fntnre of AgricnIture.

Tie future OF agriculture will be
greatly influenced by thu scientific
study OF matters pertaining to produc-
tion. Tho coming farmer will have a
better knowledge OF atmospheric con-
ditions as meteorology is better under
stood. He will understand the soil
he cpltivates, its derivations, it's COM
ppnent parts, it's relation to plants,
and methods of cultivation, more ac-
curatsly than ever before. He will
comprehend whore the zones of plant
life lie and know dsinitely where each
plant will do its best aud produce its
maximum. He will have more COM
plete knowledge of what farmers
throughout the world are doing, and
this will enable him to determine the
crops that promise best. He will
know how to got the cheapest growth
on his domestic animals by making
more perfect pastures. He will have
better roads. because he will under
stand how to use the road material with
in his reach. The growth OF scientific
research along archaeological lines will
enable him to eradicate the diseases
that have infested his herds through
out the past history OF the world. Ex'
tended and cheapened trausporta
tion will enable him to put the prod
ucts OF his skill in all foreign markets
at the least cost and with the greatest
expedition. He will have learned tc
observe more closely and experimen
more extensively, each farm being {
centre of research. Finally he vii
be educated as thoroughly as literar,

It will be good day for the country
when there grows up an assumption
that the politician is naturally high
minded, though conditions may at
times cause him to act questionably,
and that, freed from those conditions,
his natural moral resiliency will cause
him to soar, observes the New York
Commercial Advertiser. Under @
high. moral public sentiment it is
easier for men to be good than to be
bad. In private life many man leaves
certain things undone, while commit.
ting other greater sins because some
are what a gentleman would not do,
aud the others the sin of the gentle.
man. Thus any advance in public ol
political standard is hailed as bene
fit, no matter what its immediate mo-
