For Fast Driving.

Wallace Allen was up before
Police Judge John l.. Gait this
morning, charged with disturbing
the peace by fast driving yesterday
on our streets.
Allen said that his horse became
almost unmanageable and that he
could hardly hold him at all, but
the preponderance of evidence that
was ready to be piled up against
him, caused him to plead guilty.
The Judge extended him all the
leniency he could under the cir
cumstances, and fined him $40
and costs, amounting to S7.65.

The very best way OF preserving eggs
Is by freezing them. and this Is the
only way. We think. by which eggs can
be kept quite fresh and good. OF course
there are very few poultry keepers who
are able to do this as very few possess
a freezing chamber. and are thus able
to freeze their eggs For this reason
We have put it last. as to the ordinary
poultry keeper II Is quite useless.
Too much importance cannot be at
tached to having the eggs perfectly
fresh when they are put down. and un-
less they are in this state they will
never keep. No egg. should be put
down that is more than twenty-four
hours old. and even less than this is
advisable.
AS to whether fertile or snfertile
eggs are the better for preserving, 1t is
a difficult matter to determine. We
think-and several experiments that
have been made go to prove it-that

"On an averaged Mexican sheep nock
numbers about 1000, and there were
ten or more billygoats with every flock

York after six months stay in Mex

goats are kept with the flock as lead
ers. Being venturesome and intelli-
gent. they will 60 anywhere the shep-
herd directs and the silly sheep. who
might otherwise balk or stampede at
some tritiing obstacle or alarm, follow
them unhesitatingly. The goats set the

The Mexican shepherd also has his

lie. The dogs are mongrels. in all va
rietes and degrees. the only point OF
uniformity among them being their
extreme ugliness in appearance and in
disposition toward strangers Some
are shaggy beasts with pointed muzzles.
and might at a little distance be easily
mistaken for wolves. But ugly and
mean as they are. the Mexican shep-
herd has the art of tanning them SO
that they are as serviceable as Is the
collie to the shepherd of the Scottish
moorlands. The Mexican sheep dog is
loyal to his master and quick to under
stand. Many Mexican shepherd owes
his life to his dog. who notified him
OF the sneaking approach of hostile In
dams or of their ambush in his path
ahead
returning to the original subject,
a pair of goats once led a flock on
long journey. A shepherd of Valencia
county. New Mexico. away from the
home camp, had the misfortune to lose
his dog through the attack of noun
tain lion and to break his leg on the
same day. Had the dog been alive he
could have sent him to the home range
to summon assistance. AS 1t was. he
had to see the sheep wander away,
while he dragged himself to the place
where his provisions were stored, and
waited for such help as chance might
bring him. Five days later the sheep,
led by the corporal goats. appeared at
the home ranch. eighty miles away.
They had crossed two mountain ranges
by path of their own finding. and out
OF flock of 1900 sheep only seven
were missing. There was, of course,
much good luck in this, for u dash of
timber wolves among them would not
only have meant the killing of many
sheep on the spot but would have scat
tered the rest of the flock far and wide.
The marvel was the intelligence of the
goats in returning by an unfamiliar
path to the place where they had been
bred and the implicit faith of the sheep
in their leadership. OF course the ar
rival of the sheep at the home ranch
led to the sending out of a searching
party for the shepherd. He was
brought in on litter right between
two donkeys, and. although his injury
had become very painful through neg
lect. proper surgical treatment brought
him around all right"

Method. ., Preserving Egg.

Doubtless some OF our readers are
Interested in the question Of preserv-
Ing eggs. For such we publish the fol-
lowing from the London Rural World:
The method most commonly in use
Is as follows: The eggs are placed in
large vessel or tub. holding large
or small quantities, as the case may
and these are all piled up, one on
the top OF the other. A preparation
composed OF mixture of five gallons
OF water with one gallon of fine slaked
lime. to which about gallon Of salt
has been added, is made, and
When the water has dissolved
as much lime as It can, 1t is
poured over the eggs until they
are entirely covered. keeping back any
lime that may be at the bottom which
has not been dissolved. The eggs may
be kept in this manner for a very long
period. but one drawback to this sys-
tenn Is that the shells OF the eggs be-
come SO brittle that they break with
the slightest touch. 1t is necessary to
keep adding little lime from time to
time. otherwise the preparation will
lose its effect, and the eggs will not
be in very good state when the time
comes for them to be taken out. When
the eggs are wanted for use. they are
taken out Of the solution and wiped
dry, but they should be used as soon
after as possible. as they do not keep
very long. 1t may here be said, and
this applies to all methods of preserv-
ing eggs. that It is absolutely essential
that the eggs shall be put down quite
fresh-if possible. the same day as laid
otherwise they will not preserve
nearly as we'll
Another method adopted is that Of
placing the eggs In salt This keeps
the eggs in splendid condition, but
there Is slight taste given to them,
but 1t Is not by any means disagree
able. The salt absorbs a little mois-
ttre from the interior of the egg. hence
the inside becomes rather loose. and
a. there II a rattle when shaken. 1t
gives one the idea that the egg il stale.

Exercising Horse. and Colt..

An English writer says: All exer-
else causes an increased consumption
of animal material. This consumption
or waste must be repaired by good
feeding. II the wear and tear OF the
body is not sufficiently replaced by
new supplies introduced in the shape
OF food. the horse will obviously lose
flesh: and under such circumstances
additional exercise, far from produc-
ing strength or giving muscle. will
cause greater debility. Having laid
down the general principles on which
we think that amount of exercise ought
to be regulated, we shall not endeayor
to apply those principles to tho vari-
GUS classes OF horses.
All exercise for young horse must
at first be gentle, and the increase
must be gradual. For horses of three
or four years old Just taken up from
grass half an hours walking exercise
Is sufficient. In the second month the
time may be increased to an hour, and
the horse may carry saddle. and dur
ing one-fourth of the time he may be
quietly lounged. From the beginning
of the third month most young horses
may be ridden quietly for an hour, and
perhaps trotted with light weight on
them during half that time. From the
fourth to the sixth month one hour
and halfs ordinary work in the ma
nege may not be too much. BY tho
end Of six months the great majority
OF young horses. thus gradually and
systematically got into condition.
should be fit for ordinary work. few
of the weaker and those reduced by
strangles or other sickness will re-
quire further time and care.

Poultry Brisfs.

Ground or cut bone Is so useful To
poultry raisers that 1t is something OF
a marvel that more bone cutters and
grinders are not in use: Tho attemp,
to use commercial meals for freshly
prepared bone can hardly be called a
success; for the very obvious reason
that the more useful OF the products
do not keep well In anything but the
coldest weather. At some seasons oil
the year 1t Is impossible to get beet
meal, as the dealers will not handle IL
when 1t Is likely to spoil on their,
hands. But the man that has a ma
chine for reducing bone to edible size
is independent. He can nearly always
obtain bones that have on them much
meat and these furnish bone for sup
plying little nitrogen and q good deal
of lime and phosphorus. Around mos,
homes bones have no use. Yet they
can be made a source Of valuable food
supply.
The question is now being raised as
to whether richness can be fed into
eggs, and the amateurs are trying to
demonstrate that it can be done. One
man asserts very positively that his
eggs are richer when he feeds very rich
foods than when he feds foods not SO
rich. The trouble with this kind Of
evidence Is that It is not exact A man
reports thing as being SO because he
believes It is so, relying on his sense
Of taste. But. as with the question Of
feeding fat into milk, SO here, appear
ances are not to be relied on.
Weather reports from Idaho state
that on the high mountain ranges the
grass is more abundant than usual
but on low ranges 1t Is exceptionally
scarce The condition Of stock varies
with the grass on the range. On the
high ranges the stock Is fat and ready
for shipment direct to market, but on
low ranges its condition Is poor. In
some southeastern sections the scarcity
of water has contributed to the poor
condition Of stock.
