DELAGoA BAY INCIDENTS.

Ihe German press is not favorably impressed
with the seizure of the liner Bundesrath in
Deiagoa Bay. The incident is likely to excite
the anti-British feeling in Germany unless the
Foreign Office takes prompt measures for ex-
planning the action of the Magicienne and show
ing what justification there was for the seizure.

ehective use which the Beers have made of

was probably written by the Consul at Lourenco
Marques, as Mr.. Macrum fas been reported as
sailing from Delagoa Bay thirteen days ago.
Ihere Is no new light in London upon Mr. Ma
crums mysterious abandonment of his post at
a critical time. The most probable explanation
seems to be the high expense of living in Pre-

Farm Miscellany.
FARMERs SHOULD ADVERTISE.

This subject was discussed in a
forcible way recently by an Ohio
farmer at an institute meeting. The
following contains some of the most
salient points brought out in the ad-
dress:
Have you thoroughbred cattle,
sheep, or hogs? Have you extra
chickens, ducks, turkeys or geese?
Let people know that you have them.
Has your boy gotpet rabbits, pigeons
or ~ferrets? Let him do a little adj
vertising on his own account.
Have you extra nice wheat, corn,
rye, barley, buckwheat or flax, that
is suitable for seed? Does anybody
know about it? Did you eve tell
your wife even?
Have you nice clean oats that you
can guarantee free from smut? Fifty
thousand farmers are looking for it.
Have you any of the grass seeds that
you guarantee free from weed seed?
Don't be afraid you will break that
market. There will always be a de-
mand.
Now, the next important ques-
ton is the medium. This must be
determined by the party interested,
and only general directions will ap-
ply. You know the class of people
who ought to buy what you have.
Place your advertisement in the
paper that reaches the largest num-
Der of that class. Not two or three
lines hat you can't find yourself
with ~spectacles, buta good big chunk
out of u corner of a page, where
everybody can see it. Don't sponge
your advertising. That disgusts the
newspaper man and makes your com
petit0rS mad.
Don't be ashamed of your bust
ness. Let people know that you are
"a farmer and that you are proud of
it. Advertise your business as other
business men do, and compel others
to respect you because of your en-
tel prise"

YOU have a carload, fifty cents per

part of the profit depends upon a

the same amount of feed, the short
horns gain two. But to grow these

This is important.
Again the manure from growing
and feeding cattle will help to make
and keep u farms rich. Corn that
will make over 100 bushels per acre

The has done this. Noucan
do the same.
When we have improved cattle
grazing upon a thousand hills, and
grass growing for them to Craze
upon. then we will have a section
fair to look upon and desirable to
live in. Then the stranger will love
u fair Southland and seek to make
his home among US.
Then our income will come with a
steady flow and homes be filed with
plenty and contentment dwell among
us and happiness reign supreme.
This is one remedy for needs.

A VALUABLE BOOK.

We really do not believe that the
average North Carolina farmer can
anywhere invest $1.25 to better ad-
vantage than by sending that
amount to us for Il copy Of Prof. L.
H. Bailey's "Principlcs Of Agricul-
ture." This is a work which tells
the "whys and wherefores"-the
principles-of the business" Of
farming. 1t is written by a man Of
great ability who knows his subject
by long years of actual experience
and scientific study. The farmer
who secures a copy of this work
and studies it during his spare
moments this summer will not only
find much pleasure thereby, but will
find greater interest in his work, a
broader view of his profession and
the probability of making many
more dollars as a result of his study.
There are many books upon the
market, but not for many years, we
firmly believe, has one been issued
which the average reader Of this
paper so badly needs. The work is
handsomely bound, we'll illustrated,
clearly printed and contains 800
pages. Send Us &1.25 and get a copy,
We guarantee satisfaction.

1t requires as much careful prep
aratiOn and fOrethOught to select
good seed corn from the field as any
other seed or breed of stock. Al
ways aim to secure the most perfect
and prolific. When planting, fertilize
extra heavy u part Of the field from
which to save seed, prefer the wind
ward side, 50 as not to get any pollen
from barren stalks. Thin we'll, and
cut out all barren stalks when COM
ing into tassel. Also cut taSSel from
every second row, as what food
would make tassel will go to make
gram. The other rows will furnish
enougA pollen for all. When earliest
and largest ears are matured enough,
pull with shuck on about three times
as much as needed for seed, place in
dry place, prefer largest u from
stalks which have two II more ears.
When cured, shuck and select only
the very best ears, put in sacks and
hang out Of the way Of mice. If
white corn, select only white cobs,
as the husks from red ears injure the
looks Of sheIIel corn. Avoid ear
with straw-colored grain. B.

The Poultry Yard.
EGGS FOR MARKET.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Where eggs are raised for market
as a business it is necessary to en-
ploy the best of care in keeping and
shipping them. Eggs that I guar
antecd fresh every day, and shipped
regularly to certain dealers always
pay the best. The top prices are OBJ
tanned in this way. It is better t.
ship them every day wen if only Il
crate can be collected. Crates should
be labelled so as to signify that the
eggs are fresh daily, and then it is
wise to stamp every egg with your
mark. Buyers soon learn to know
your stamp. 1t may be made simply
out of rubber, and the process of
stamping each egg is small. In large
cities grOcers and dealers are nearly
always willing to handle such eggs,
and it will pay sometimes to ship h
crate or two direct to them every
day. Any negligence in putting
stale eggs in the crate would of
course ruin everything. The stamp
on the eggs should be the mark of
absolutely fresh eggs, and not single
bad specimen should ever be allowed
to creep in.
l have found it more profitable to
keep enough layers in winter to make
it worth while shipping eggs daily.
Nothing less than a crate or case OF
thirty dozen eggs will pay to ship by
express and fresh. 1t takes a bis
poultry yard to secure hat number
of eggs daily, but by combining with
neighbOrs it should not be difficult.
Two or three could raise d portion OF
the eggs and make up the full crate,
and send them to market by express.
More money would be obtained in
this way than by any other method.
If there are no neighbors to com
bine with the eggs may be kept three
or four days and still be truthfuIIy
marked fresh. To do this, however,
they should be taken from the nest
regularly and packed in layers OF
sawdust in a cool place. The tenn
perature should be nearly to the
freezing point all the time. It is
heat that causes eggs to decay Store
them in the living rooms where the
temperature IS normal, and at the
end of four days they will be stale
eggs. Store them in the sawdust
bin where the temperature is very
low, and they will be nearly as fresh
as the day they were laid four or
five days afterward. The packing
in the sawdust tends to keep out the
air, and the low temperature pr
vents inside changing. Eggs Ike /
this way, and shipped twice d Week
should sell for the highest prices.
and they will invariably pass tie
candle or any other test successfully.
