over supply

From Farmers Review: Some
times we hear the remark that In q
few years there will bo an over sup
ply OF poultry and poultry products
at tho rate at which the poultry bust
ness Is increasing, The item that the
United States receives In imports, l5,-
100000 dozen eggs yearly will hardly
agree with the above. Not only are
Eggs imported, but pounds and pounds
OF dressed poultry, From this It would
seem there Is no danger OF over pro-
duction, We must remember that the
population increases as fast or faster
than the production OF poultry In
creases and every year secs a great
increase In the consumption OF poul-
try Just as rapidly as we produce and
furnish to consumers eggs and poultry
IN attractive and palatable shape the
consumption will increase, also the
price Americans especially do not
KICK much on the price they pay for
eatables II the eatables are good, The
appetite for eggs and poultry is on
larging very rapidly, but to get good
prices for them the eggs must be fresh
and the poultry fat and healthy,
Use care In gathering and sending
the eggs to market; do not send them
with dirty shells, Lately much has
been said and little proven that eggs
whose shells have been washed will
decay sooner because the washing de-
stroys the gloss Of the shell which is
covering for the pores, somewhat
preventing air entering However this
may be, washed egg never looks as
fresh and glossy as a clean unwashed
egg But we do not want to market
dirty eggs; 80 what will we do? Fur
nish lots OF nice clean nests and have
clean litter around and In front OF the
nests 30 the hens may get some of the
art OF their feet before going on the
nest. Perhaps In future years we will
have the hens educated to wipe their
feet on cloths hung in front of their
nests.
Have your eggs clean and fresh,
your fowls healthy and fat; then mar
ket them In attractive packages and
coops. Wherever possible market d.
rect to the consumer. Do not worry
about the other fellows getting all the
custom Of your town. The chances
are they are sitting and worrying for
fear some one else will cut figure in
the case. Doing this will never get
you a buyer. Get up and hustle; emu
late your best layers in the hustling
and hunting line, BE brisk. Take
some Of your clean, fresh eggs in O
nice clean basket and n nice dressed
fowl or two, Be sure they are fat and
plump, and call on some one you
think would like your wares, II the
first house don't buy, try another;
some one will want them, Then en-.
gage more for the days that you can
deliver them handily.
Never market an egg or a fowl that
Is not of attractive appearance, Re-
member pleased customer is the best
advertisement and act accordingly. II
won't be long until you can market
all the surplus at fair profit. Do not
charge an exorbitant price, but charge
enough to make some profit. Do not
bewail because you cannot raise prize
winners, but make good customers by
furnishing good products. - Emma

Period of Fertility.

A correspondent Of Fa m'Poultry,
writing to that paper says: l think

Poultry Craft" that you have known
instances of hens laying fertile eggs

that eggs are usually fertile four days

Tho Pool of SIIonm.

For over ten years the Pool of ST.
loan has been only a name Visitors
to Palestine who visited this famous
spot Of late years found that Its heal
ing waters had vanished. This was
a great blow to the inhabitants, but re-
Gently the waters Of Sloan have been
made to flow once again, and there
has been great rejoicing in the holy
land, It appears that Jerusalem has
been especially short Of water Of late,
and 1t occurred to some Of the inhabi-
tants Of Sloan to try to find out
whether the spring which used to
supply the pool was really dry. Tons
Of accumulated rubbish were cleared
away, and after about a months work
the spring was found. The excavators
discovered behind some fallen rocks
an old aQueduct running away into the
valley Of the Kedron, and into this
aQueduct the beautiful, cool, clear
water had run and been wasting for
years,-Sunday Companion.

treated before the rushing food, there-
by saving Lord Chugmough a good
many thousand pounds, and probably
the lives OF the crew as we'll.
And II Ia also known that when Sir
Galloplng Grace and the other mem
bers OF Lord Chugmoughs party
turned their backs on the washed-out
city OF Bolivar to return to Pedro
Franclsco's hospitable plantation, the
Cheerway was already plowlng the
waters OF the subsiding orinoco to re-
gain her deserted anchorage OFF Boil
var,
Two dayG later, on a beautiful clear
day, when the hot sun was beating
down on the decks Captain Glover
stood on the brldge-his throne, and
more secure one than was the ambi-
tion OF the false Philip of Aragon-
with the visor OF his cap pulled low
over his eyes to shade them from the
glare, watching, with considerable
wonder and pleasure, the splendid
scenery Of the north shore near which
he was running, the wonder being that
all nature could be 30 beautiful and
smiling 30 soon after the tempestuous
experience OF few days before.
Now and then Captain Glover raised
u pair Of glasses to his eyes and swept
the verdure-clad shore, noting the
many-colored flowers, which certainly
must have bloomed since the storm,
for they could not have lived through
II.
"Ah," he said to himself, giving a
characteristic grunt at the same time,
now / know where | am. remem-
ber that mountain Now that's a
queer place for mountain. It's al
ways been my opinion that noun
tain is necessarily land animal. But
this Is square In the river--sort of am
phiblous mountain, as It WERE"
And smiling at his own joke, the
captain continued to study the bold
outlines and lofty eminence of tho
mountain that had attracted him,
which was no other than the Island of
the Clouds, which has already played
a not unimportant part in the history
OF some Of our friends,
Every minute brought the rapid
yacht nearer to the mountain, and
after an hour or so Captain Glover
raised the glass again to take another
and closer survey,
The same day he rescued Dona
Maria, Jacinta and their American
protector and the Cheerway bore them
up the Amazon to Bolivar.
In due time the yacht arrived at
Bolivar, and Medworth, seeing no SOL
diers of Philip near, made bold to re-
quest to be sent ashore that he might
make inquiries concerning Castle Sal
varez, and also put In a few sly ques-
tions to see II Jack Tempest was any
where about.
The information he received on
shore fairly staggered him with a
mixed emotion-part Joy, part grief
Everybody in Bolivar knew all about
the battle on Carib Hill, and Medworth
listened with beating heart to tho
story Of the supposed death Of Lola
Garza, the crafty treachery OF Namam-
pa, the meeting of Namampa and Lola
with Lord Chugmough on Carib Hill,
tho subsequent attack by Mattazudo,
and the final misunderstanding which
resulted in the total humiliation OF
both wings of Philips army He also
heard with sorrow Of the heroism and
death Of his old comrade, and the JOY
over the knowledge that Lola was
alive and we'll was tempered with
grief over the death of his loyal
friend.

A WONDERFUL LATHE.

LF'rom the Philadelphia North American
The product of the Philadelphia work
shops and skilled labor has for many
years been going out into the world to revo-
lutionize various fields of labor and enter
prize but there are few machines sent
out from any locality which will have
such a wonderful influence in some de-
partments of building and architecture as
the mammoth lathe built by the Philadel-
phia Roll and Machine company for the
BodWell Granite company of Vinalhaven,
Me. To a certain extent it was the plans
for a great New York church. the Cathe-
dral Of st. John the Divine. that led to
the construction or this wonderful lathe.
The cathedral viii have many. columns
of granite These columns viii be Of
various dimensions, but the largest of
them viii be 81 feet long and s feet in
diameter In ALL there viii be 81 of
these mammoth columns, and each one of
them viii weigh about $50 tons. There
Will also be columns OF smaller dime nSiOnS
and all are to be made by this lathe that
has been manufactured in Philadelphia.
H A Spiller and E. r. Cheney, who have
patented it. 1t was begun nearly a year
ago and it was delivered in the quarries
in Maine in May last, but it was not until
August that it was placed in operation
doing wonderful work and has command
ed much attention.
The blocks of granite from which the
largest columns are turned weigh 80 tons.
Ihey are 81 feet long, So feet high and
The lathe itself is Sc feet long. 1t weighs
135 tons and swings 6l5 feet by go feet. It
is fitted with eight tools or cutters, and
as each cutter will reduce the column
three inches the entire eight reduce it "a
inches in passing over its length The
knife or tool used in cutting is a circular
disk of steel seVen-eigbths of an inch in
thickness and 10 inches in diameter IT
has a V-shaped cutting edge and when in
operation is set at an angle to the axis
OF the stone being dressed. It is the huge
stone that revolves, and as it does so it
imparts a rotary motion to the cutting
by means of the feed screw. The nature
of the cut made by the tools is in the
form of splintering. as stated, about three
inches deep The lathe is operated by a
50-horse power engine. When running at
cutting speed it makes one and three
quarters revolutions per minute, and 1T
polishing speed the revolutions per minute
number three. The adjustment of the
machine is so perfect that after the belt
has been cast off the machine will run
freely for about a quarter of a minute.
