Broken Eggs Are Sold.

In the egg trade broken egg is not
lost to the market. When in the
course of the packing at the large
houses an egg is broken it is frozen and
offered for sale in that way. A writer
in an Eastern paper says: 'Frozen
eggs in great masses are not bad to
look upon. They are not allowed to
thaw until the time comes for use.
They are shipped in refrigerated cars,
and such consignments as go to Alaska
for the gold regions are put into cold
storage on board of the steamships
The Klondike demand does not begin
to take all of the frozen eggs. Mis-
souri, alone furnishes millions of cracked
eggs in the course of a year. Nine eggs
will average a pound. The frozen egg
product is sold by weight. With the
large bakers and cracker-makers in the
cities the frozen eggs are in demand.
Some restaurants also buy the big tin
buckets of the frozen article Certain
classes of restaurants serve scrambled
eggs and omelets in winter made from
the frozen eggs, and patrons are none
the wiser.

THE EXPERIMENT STATION.
Inspector c. H. shinn Speaks of the I'm
prOVemeuts

Inspector Charles II. Shinn made a
visit to this town recently and was in
teviewed for the LEDGER.
Mr.. Shinn said: ''The Experiment
Station has been improving steadily for
several years past, and is well worth a
visit from farmers, and all persons in
terested in the foot-hill region. The
latest addition to the Station novelties
is a pair of thoroughbred Persian
sheep of the Bayazit breed of Astrach-
ans, imported for the United States
government by Minister Beale some
years ago. A pair of the original i'm
portation were obtained for the Paso
Robles Station, and the stock has been
propagated there ever since. The
June-bred lambs of these sheep furnish
the true 'Astrachan' which is worth
about fifteen dollars to the skin, and is
in great demand. No part of California
is better adapted to these sheep than
the Sierra foothills. Persons having
flOcks of sheep, and desirous of intro
ducing this new blood, will be allowed
the privilege without charge, by
registering and agreeing to report the
result of the crosses.
"The Station is about to introduce
a very good stock of Belgian hare,
which has attracted much attention
the past season.
Among the additions to the Station
collections the past year are some
twenty new varieties of figs. Several
of these, while new to California, have
a well deserved reputation in Europe.
advise the planting of more figs in the
Sierra foothills. Few fruits are so
satisfactory as the fig for family use,
and the tree endures a great deal of
neglect.
Recent analyses of the apples grown
at an elevation of from 1900 to 5000 feet
in the Sierra, show high sugar and
acid, or, in other words, first-rate all
around fruit. There are many locations
in the Sierra foothills especially
adapted to apples, and we will gladly
furnish scions of many new sorts of late
keeping apples to growers within reach
of the Station" "

Troubles of Winter Chicks.

Bowel diseases and leg weakness
carry off hosts of chicks each year,
while the owner in vain tries dosing
or new systems of feeding or heating,
but finds bucketful of dead birds each
morning. In "The New Egg Farm"
Mr.. Stoddard goes straight to the
cause of nine-tenths of the diseases
which attack chicks in confinement.
He says: ''Much of the so-called diar-
rhea is not diarrhea at all. The
chicks are weak for lack of exercise,
the whole system is enfeebled, but the
bowels are not suffering a whit more
than all the other organs. The trouble
some symtom of clogging near the vent
is almost invariably caused by lack of
exercise, but anything else that debili-
tates will cause it, and it is not neces-
sarily an accompaniment of diarrhuea,
dysentary or any other specially dis
eased state of the bowels, or of abnor-
NAL or vitiated droppings.-Tribune.
