The mar that buys expensive eggs
for setting should examine them on
receipt to see if they are as fresh re
could be expected. This is easy to dc
by means of an egg tester. which any
one of II readers knows how to make.
In lookin at the egg. if it is
fresh the air space will be of ordinary
size. If the egg is shrunken on the
inside so much that the air space is
greatly enlarged the egg is probably
too old to hatch well OF at all.
We see objections being raised &c
poultrymen sending eggs in boxes
when they are TO go by express. Nc
matter how carefully they are marked
the eggs are likely to be broken, or, at

is that the handlers do not give boxes

and a man is likely to pick up hurried
ly a box without looking at the writ
ing on it. Eggs should be packed II

Chicks that come in warm weather
need more care than the ones that

Our farmers should appreciate more
than they do the advantage of aerating
and cooling milk. Now that warm
weather is approaching the time is
propitious for renewed interest in the
matter. Leaving the animal heat in
the milk in winter is less harmful than
in summer. In the winter the sur
rounding conditions are generally such
that the milk drops very rapidly in
temperature, but In hummer the tenn
perature does not generally drop low
enough to be effective. There are a
great many aerating appliances on the
market, and among them the farmer
can easily select something that will
do the work.

Less watering should be done from
the brook and more from the well or

farm animals, prefers to take her
water warm; but this warmth of the
Mater can be obtained by exposing it
to the sun for a day. All troughs and

the summer time. and no slime should

the surest road by which disease at

In the summer time the COWS on
many farms occupy the barnyards at
light. A new problem arises in that
case, the problem of keeping the barn
yard clean. The barnyard should be
cleaned each morning. h manure be-
ing thrown under a covered shed, I'M
less there be a better place for it.. This
may seem a small matter, and doubt
less on most farms it is properly
looked after. But the writer has seen
barnyards where filth abounded every
where, the owner evidently depending
on wind and sun to keep the yard in a
condition where it could be used at all.
It is predicted that the increase of
creamery butter this year over last
will be something, but not great. The
fairly good prices for butter during tins
last eighteen months has stimulated the
manufacture. There has, however.
been another factor in operation and
that is the high prices being paid for
cattle. This has resulted in a good
many farmers in the far west turning
their attention again to the raising
of beeves instead Of the production OF
butter. The same factors are said tC
be in operation in Minnesota.

Selling Hot Air in Texas.

Strategic Importance of the Two Lit.

There are two little islands in the
Pacific which have come under Ameri-
can control within few years, which,
although extremely insignificant in
themselves, are considered of consider
able strategic importance. One of
these islands is Guam, the largest of
the Ladrones. which was captured by
he United States ship Charleston dur
ing the war with Spain, and the other
is the Samoan island OF Tutuila, which
this country acquired by arrangement
with Germany and England With
Guam Americans are quite familiar. II

ing good harbor, can be made good

company of marines, and one of the
ships of our navy is stationed there, the
commanding officer OF which acts as
governor OF the island
With the Island of Tutuila. people In
this country are but little acquainted
although we have possessed the right to
erect a coaling station there for many
years. II is one of the smaller islands
Of the Samoan group and has popula'
ton Of about 4 600 souls. When the gov
ernments OF Great Britain. the United
States and Germany decided that IL was
no longer eXpedient to maintain the
tripartite agreement under which Sa.

the group. while the United States be
came the undisputed possessor of Tu.
tula and another small island eallct
Manua. Great Britain was compen
stated by the surrender to her of an isl
aud elsewhere.
The only value of Tutuila is tn,
fine harbor 1t possesses. This harbor Il
well protected from storms and has Z
