Eggs without Shells.

In the report of the trade of Italy
for the years 1898 and 1899, by Sir
George Bonham, secretary to her ma.
jesty's embassy at Rome, there is an
interesting paragraph describing the
system adopted for the expectation Of
eggs to England for pastry. The shell
is removed, and the interior of the
egg-white and yolk together-is pack
ed in air-tight vessels or drums con-
tanning each 1000 eggs. Great care ia
taken to ensure the eggs being fresh.
and to exclude the air, as one bad egg
spoils all the remainder, and renders
the consignment unstable. The new
system has the advantage Of removing
the risk of breakage, and is also pre-
ferred by the pastry cook for whose
use they are intended. AS to the ex-
tent of the trade in eggs, the report
mentions that in 1897 Russia exported
to England over 354,OOO, ,000.-Mark

Dipping.


Prof. c. F. Curtiss: Nearly all
range sheep are affected with scab,
though it is frequently held in check
so as to be scarcely noticeable when
the sheep first arrive from the range.
It's development appears few weeks
later, however, and unless proper pre-
cautions are taken it becomes a Sc
rious interference with good results
in fattening, besides source OF in
fecting the yards and premises with
the germs of this disease. On this
account it is generally considered best
to dip all range sheep brought to the
farming sections for feeding. The dip
ping should be done Immediately or
at least very soon after arrival, ano
repeated in about ten days to insure
effective work. In case this has not
been done promptly on arrival OF the
sheep and the disease makes its ap'
pearance during the winter, it is gen
orally advisable to attend to the dip
ping without further delay, even
though the weather may be quite Sc
we're, as postponement will only pro-
long the difficulty and at the same
time cause greatly diminished gains
as well as much lower value on the
market. Sheep may be dipped ever
at a zero temperature with less men
ace to the flock than to allow the dis.
ease to go unchecked for a few weeks
When necessary to dip in severe
weather, the work should be done un'
der shelter in liquid slighly warmed
and the dipped animals placed imme'
diately in dry, warm quarters and KEEP
in for several days until the feeces
have had time to dry.
There are various dips on the mar,
ket and in common use. Lime ant
sulphur and the tobacco dips are ef
fective and popular where the work
is done on a large scale. A number
of the prepared dips on the market
are equally effective, and they have
the additional advantage of promoting
more favorable condition of the
fleece. All farm focks should also be
dipped at least once a year for the
general good effects resulting from
dipping regardless of the existence o.

AFRICAN sLAv= TRADE.
Capture of Negroes In 1645 by
American, Ships Crew.

Capture of Negroes In 1645 by an
American, Ships Crew.
The story of the first American voy-
age to Africa, of which we have a
definite record, tells us somewhat of
the methods employed in obtaining
savage cargoes. A Boston ship, COM
manded by one Capt. Smith, went
away to Madeira with salt fish and
slaves. Sailing thence, with the pro-
ceeds of her sale, she touched on the
coast of Guinea" for slaves. She found
some London slave vessels already
there, with their captains very much
disgruntled because trade was dull.
that is, and to liven matters little,
the Yankees and the Londoners united,
and ION pretense of some quarrel with
the natives landed 'murderer-the
expressive name of a small cannOn-at-
tackled negro village on Sunday, kill
ed many of the inhabitants and made a.
few prisoners, two of whom fell to the
share of the Boston ship" That was
in 1642-just twenty-six years after the
Dutchman landed the slaves in Vir-
ginia, as recorded by John Rolfe, the
first American squaw man. False pre-
tense, outrage and slaughter of inno-
cents characterized the first-recorded
gathering of slaves in which the Amer
lean ship had part. They 'killed many
of the inhabitants" and got two slaves
for their share of the plunder. That
Capt Smiths act was not according to
the ordinary usages of the trade may
be inferred from what happened when
he returned to Boston. A quarrel with
the ships owners over the proceeds
Of the voyage resulted in law suit.
The story of the voyage was told in
court, and although it was not GRIM
inal trial, one of the magistrates
charged the master with a three-fold
offense-murder, man-stealing and
Sabbath breaking" The captain es-
capped punishment on these charges on
the ground that the court had no juris-
diction over crimes committed in
Africa "a decision that was typical OF
what was to Gomez, but the two slaves
were returned home.-"The Slave
Trade in America" by John R. Spears

died calves have been astonish,d by
the rapid growth and strength dis
played by young animals several Gays
after birth. The colostrum-milk is The
best means of providing the animal
with the requisite food for growth and
development. This matter must there
fore receive due consideration when
weaving calves and raising them by
hand. It is no trouble to raise calf
by hand provided artificial nipples are
used. The calf will then suck quite
as readily as from the udder of the
COW. This prevents it's gorging itself
and producing scours and other intes-
from careless feeding they can be rem

poe.,,. R.,,.gvalus Of steers.


The hardest fight made against the
Grout bill in congress was made by
the packing houses in the name Of the
cattle raisers of the United States.
They insisted that the forbfdding OF
the coloring Of oleomargarine to -e-
semble butter would kill the business
and thereby destroy market for beef
fat which would cause depreciation
of from so to 81 per head on cattle
marketed in this country. These oleo-
margarine people never quoted statls-
tics or other authorities to prove this
They simply asserted it and let 1t go
at that. Now let us look into this
matter. According to the report OF
the Agricultural Department OF the
United States there were slaughtered
at forty-five points under government
inspection 100000 head of cattle
during 1899. Enough were slaughtered
at outside uninspected points to bring
the total up to 100000 head as a low
estimate. The statement of Secretary
Gage of the treasury department shows
that there were used in the oleomar-
garine produced in this country last
year 24,491,769 pounds oleo oil, which
Is made from beef fat. This means
fraction less than five pounds OF rat
from each animal, or to be specific,
4.99 pounds. At its value the past year
this fat would be worth 9 cents per
pound, or As cents. AS tallow it is
worth cents per pound, or 30 cents
Sell the fat for soap (for which there
is always unlimited demand) instead
of for bogus butter, and it would only
mean a difference of Is cents a head
for steers-so small an amount as not
to be appreciable, when it is consid'
cred that it costs or 2 cents pounc
to produce the oleo oil which does no'
| go to the farmer This country las'
year produced 166 100000 pounds o.
oleo OIL of which 142,0OO, 900 were ex
ported. If the oleomargarine busines:
were dead in this country the expor
trade would easily take the entlr'
amount produced. 1t will be seen
therefore, that the manufacture o
oleomargarine in this country is OF NJ
practical value whatever to the live
stock interests.

NEW BATH TUB ATTACHMENT.

account Of the expense of the extra
space necessary for the apparatus. but
it goes without saying that the device
here shown will soon find its way into
common use. The inventor is William
H. Bridgeman, of New York. The ap-
paratus is provided with means for at
taching it to the edge Of tub, and con-
nections can be made to the faucets by
means of a rubber tube, to force hot or
cold water into the pipes. The latter
are perforated along the sides, and

rectly on the body Of the bather, or

SHOES OF SOUTHERNER
As q Rule Shorter Than the Northern
er's, with Higher Instep.

"There is no doubt marked differ.
ence," said New Orleans shoe man
ufacturer, "in the size and shape OF
the average foot north and south OF
Mason and Dixon's line. A great deal
of nonsense has been written about the
so-called Creole last but the shoe
best adapted to high-class southern
trade does possess certain distinguish
ing features of it's own. 1t is shorter
than the northern shoe, to begin with.
and has a much higher instep. The
difference in the instep varies from one
half to one and half inches, which is
equivalent to saying that man with
typical southern foot could not get
into a shoe made on a typical nothern
last. The Creole model cuts less Of
figure in the trade now than it did
formerly, for two reasons: First, peo.
pie wear looser footgear at present
than they used to, and the distinctive
points are not so noticeable, and, sec;
ond, an immense number of northern
folks have come into the south, and
the local manufacturers cater to theil
patronage with considerable percent
age of the factory output. But the ma.
tive southern customer still calls for q
short high-arched shoe. In the old
days every southern gentleman had his
boots and shoes made to order, and
the impression is even now pretty gen.
eral that no factory-made article can
possibly be as good as the hand-built
wares turned out by the antebellum
craftsman. That is a great mistake

Largest of Animals.

Mr.. Beddard. in his new book on
whales, reminds readers that although
the imagination is apt to picture the
giant reptiles Of the Jurassic and
Cretaceous periods as having exceeded
in size all modern animals. yet in fact
there is no evidence that the earth has
ever contained. either on land or in
the sea, creatures exceeding the whale
in bully. The mammoth was larger than
the elephant. but the ichthyosaurus
could not match the whale for size, al
though with it's terrible jaws it would
doubtless have been the whales mas

Colf-Feedlng.

The calf should first be "mothered'
before it is taken from the dam. This
clears the skin of effete matter and
materially aids the circulation. 1t is
very important that this be done as
the calf is in a weakened condition and
this aids in the development of its
strength. After it is done the calf
may be removed without suffering. In
all instances, it should receive the first
milk or colostrum. This contains prop
critics that are purgative in nature and
clears the alimentary canal of mate
rails that otherwise might cause con-
.9estion of the various digestive organs.
II YOU remove the calf from the dam
az soon as dropped and fail to give
the colostrum, disastrous results may
follow. In glancing at the compost
ton of eolostrum milk it is seen to
be comparatively low in r'ater, high

Glass Dissolved In Water.

Every kind of glass at a sufficiently
high temperature, says Prof. Carl
Barus, must eventually show complete
solubility in water. Under pressure
glass dissolves in water heated to 40
degrees Fahrenheit Sea-water more
than about 660 feet beneath the surface
will remain liquid at that temperature,
and if it penetrates the earth's crust
where the temperature is equally high,
it will, apart from the pressure, lique-
fy the silicates, or CLASSY rocks. Prof.
Barus concludes that at a depth OF
about five miles. silicates in contact
with water are virtually fluid, and that
the level of aqueous fusion in the
earth is five times nearer the surface
than is that of igneous fusion.

silaee VS.. Non-silage Milk.

CONDENSED from Farmers Review
stenographic report Of Illinois state
Dairymens convention.)
Prof. w. j. Fraser spoke on sliaee
and non-silage milk. He told o!
tests made at the university to tind II
there was any well-founded prejudice
against milk made from silage. Inc
first trial was made with 80 professors.
They were given both kinds OF mix
and were asked to say which tney
liked better. They were not informed
of the kind of test being made and d1o
not even know that either milk hao
silage in it. OF the 80 professors one
could see no difference in the MILK
and one of the others that could see
difference had no choice. OF the ~
remaining 21 preferred the silage MIX
and the the non-silage.
A second trial was made with ~ SUI
dents, and of them 21 preferred tne
silage milk and the non-sllage. men
the test was tried on 27 ladies In town.
three of the ladies could see no olnef-
ence in the samples of milk and none
of them had any objection to either
kind of milk; but 10 preferred the Sill
age and IA the non-silage milk. IN
second test Is could see a difference
and six had no choice; preferred the
silage and 6 the non-silage milk.
A test was then made on milk ex-
perts: M. Cheeseman, Mrs. kedzle'
DR.. E. S. Stewart, the Palmer House
Chicago, and the Leland Hotel, Chi
cago. The first four preferred the Sill
age milk, but the Leland hotel pre-
ferred the non-silage milk.
Out of the entire number 60 pre-
ferred the silage milk, 3s the non-sli-
age. and 16 had no choice. There were
22O tests made on rs different persons
OF these tests 11S were in favor OF
si1age milk and IS in favor of non
silage milk; 81 showed no choice.
The criticism on silage milk Is there
fore seen to be unjust; but II rotten
silage is fed there will be objections.

The Mystery of Radium.

The substance called radium emits
radiations resembling the X-rays with
out the application Of work or energy
from external sources, and without ap-
preciable loss of weight. This seems
to be inconsistent with the law of the
conservation of energy, but the mys-
terry is explained by the calculations of
Monsieur Becquerel, which shows that
loss of weight so infnitesimal that
in a thousand million years it would
amount to no more than milligram
would suffice to account for the OBJ
served effects. According to this ex-
planation the emanations from radium
consist of material particles. But
how infinitely minute must those par
ticles be!

A Remarkable New Zealand Bird.

The capture of fourth specimen Of
the "takahe," or fighless rail of New
Zealand, is regarded as one of the
most important events Of recent years
In ornothology. The capture was ef-
fected nearly two years ago, but de-
tailed accounts of the bird have just
reached England. The takahe (Notor-
mis- hochstetterD is about equal in size
to goose, but it's wings are very small
and unlike all of it's relatives in other
lands, it cannot fly. Its breast is OF
rich blue color, and its powerful beak
is described as "a large equilateral
triangle Of hard pink horn," apparent
ly an excellent weapon. The first
specimen Of the bird was caught in
1S49. the second in 1851 and the third
In 1879. The new specimen is said to
be the finest Of all, and s1,500 has been
offered for it.
