Poultry Briefs.

Reports have 1t that Italian eggs
are now being quite extensively ex-
ported without the shells. Alr-tlght
vessels are used, in each of which are
packed 1000 eggs without shells.
Great care has to be exercised to have
the eggs fresh at time of breaking, as
1t is evident that single bad egg
would destroy the whole mass In any
vessel. This method of packing re-
moves the danger of breakage.
Litter for scratching sheds may be
made Of cheap hay or straw. Some
use dry leaves, but they are somewhat
difficult to handle and break up easily.
Some farmers accomplish the same end
by feeding their hens sheaf grain, and
doubtless this Is good thing to DO,
especially in the case Of sheaf oats.
But where the thrashing has been done
the practice OF scattering the grain in
litter is a good one and induces e1er-
else.
When fowls have the run OF the
farm they exercise principally by walk
ing and scratching. Even then the
hens spend much of their time In
places where they find scratching easy.
That they will do the same thing more
readily in confinement is obvious, II
the opportunity be given them. That
this opportunity should be supplied Is
taught by the experience Of every man
that makes poultry raising business
and o success. Scratching has been
termed the vice OF the hen, and it GER
tainly takes on this form when the at
tempt Is made to raise her and garden
truck on the same plot Of ground. This
so-called vice may be turned to great
advantage in the scratching yard, and
this has been done by thousands that
successfully keep hens in confinement.
A horse raiser says; "A good horse,
like good house, Is built from the
ground up the superstructure OF the
future horse being formed in the wean-
ing colt; and while lousy calf some-
times comes out all right in the
spring. one that has escaped the YER
min Is Just so much the better OF.
As the character Of the future man Is
generally formed In the boy, so also
does complete development in the fu-
ture mature horse depend on the thrift
mess Of the weaning colt Therefore,
that a good horse may result, the colt
should not only be given a good start
in life, but should be kept in healthful
and thrifty condition throughout the
growing stage

Variation, Aiming rowln.

The question is very frequently
asked, What is the best breed OF
fowls?" That depends, OF course, upon
the market demand or other definite
object of the poultryman-a point
which the questioner often omits. It
should be borne In mind that "a breed
signifies the average Of the values Of
the individual animals composing the
group so designated"
In the development at the Rhode Is
land college Of special school OF In
struction In poultry culture, several
pens Of fowls typical of the leading
breeds and varieties have been kept
for illustration and comparison. A
study of these birds by students, In
structors and experimenters from sew
eral points OF view serves to empha-
size the conclusion that there is far
more difference dlscoverable between
individual fowls OF any breed than
there is between distinct breeds. In
dividuallty and the influence OF en-
vironment have to be constantly con-
sidered, However much the breeder
OF fine fowls may CLEAN from others,
he cannot afford to neglect the most in
tense study Of his own fowls and of the
conditions which relate to their prac-
tlcal management, There Is room for
great Improvement among the fowls
OF each established breed and n IA by
the study OF individual birds that the
greatest progress will be made in the
proper selection OF breeders,

look on him as n confirmed bachelor,
and to regard the little boy at the farm
as the heir of the Manor when, be-
fore Harold was years old, his uncle
suddenly returned from summer hol-
iday with wife Of IS,
There was not the least mystery
about his young wlfe's antecedents
She was an officers daughter, and had
been brought up In an orphan asylum,
which found her q situation as soon as
she was old enough, She had been
In It just six months when Mr.. Dyne-
vor came on q visit 10 her employer,
and converted their little nursery gov
erness into the mistress Of the Manor.
II the family at the Uplands were
disappointed, they made no sign, and
welcomed the bride warmly. Frank
Dynevor told his brother he meant to
settle a small fortune on little Harold,
"ln case farming failed" but he was
not a buslnesslike man, and, being In
sound health, no doubt he thought
there was no hurry and he might well
walt till his nephew was out OF the
nursery,
The baby who arrived at the Manor
within year OF the wedding was a
girl, She was years old when her
father took It into his head to so out
to Australia to hunt up some informa-
ton for book he was writing. Nina
dreaded the sea, 80 he left her and her
little girl at home, From that voyage

Disposlng OF the by-products TO the
best advantage IN one Of tho surest
ways OF making money out OF the
dairy, 1t has been perhaps unfortu-
nate that in working for a high-class
product in the butter, sight has been
lost OF tho value Of the skim milk for
any purpose. Any person that travels
around much among the creamerles
VIII notice the prevailing apathy on
this subject, The writer has been In
creamerles where the milk still fresh
and warm from the separator was u
burden on the hands Of the butter
maker who was glad to get rid OF 1t at
one cent gallon. Every examination
OF skim milk as 4 food shows that It
Is about as valuable as tho whole milk.
Good coollngrooms seem to be among
tho essentials for dairy traffic that are
most neglected. We have made great
advance during the last twenty-five
years In this matter and yet we are
only at the halfway house. We have
secured refrigerator cars for the trans
port OF our butter over some OF the
main lines in this country and In big
markets cold storage rooms are becom-
Ing common. Yet when our butter and
cheese get across the water into any
Of the countries that import those food
products the places for their storage
are for the most part unsatisfactory
especially for cheese, though an i'm
provement is taking place in England,
A cheesemaker that visited London
this summer says that he saw large
quantities OF cheese in rooms exposed
to tho full summer heat. Tho temper
ature was 80 high that the oil was
running out OF many of the cheeses
onto the floor, This is perhaps one
reason why foreign made cheese have
never taken as well In England as their
own cheese.

CARY explain wtnct rink, Harold;
but seem TO know Nina Lindon never
did us such a wrong Willingly"
II could understand It better II she
had left anything to her child" said
Harold. "The injustice to US would
have been the same, but It would have
been more natural"
Mr.. Dyneyor shook his hcad,
TITS a mystery we shan't fathom
here, my boy, Only with the instinct
God sends sometimes to the dying |
seem TO feel that Lindon is to blame
II he comes TO live at the Manor, avoid
him by every means In your power"
And that was the story of the past,
1t was not strange that, remembering
his fathers last words, It was torture
to Harold Dynevor TO think that tho
mortgage on his mothers home was
held by Eustaco Llndon,
Kitty and the ten tray came In to-
gether. There was capable woman
servant at the Uplands, but she had
her hands pretty full; and both Mrs
Ilynevor and her daughter were thor
oughly domestlcated sweet home
keeping women both of them, not
learned In 'ologles and science, per-
haps, but we'll gifted to make those
about them happy.
Harold felt quite refreshed after his
tea, and asked his sister cheerfully II
any one had been there that afternoon.
"only Helen Craven, She wants us
to 20 to dinner there next week. l
said Tuesday would suit you best"
When the Cravens settled at Dyno-
vor Manor they made II perfectly clear
to the family at the Uplands that they
regarded them as friends and equals.
The young Dynevors had spont some
OF their happlest days at the Manor,
and Helen Craven was Kitty's closest
friend.
Tuesday will do nicely" said Har'
old. 81 shall be glad Of little talk
with the general. He may be able to
tell me something about his landlord"
"Helen was quite radiant" went on
Kitty. 1T seems Alick Is coming home
next week on leave, and Is going to
bring his friend Captain Tempest with
him."
She spoke with studied carelessness,
and yet the speech had cost her an
effort. Kitty and her mother were both
dreadfully afraid Harold cared for
Helen Craven. Loving him MS they
did, they were OF course persuaded he
could have won the generals daughter
had he only made up his mind to WOO,
Both believed only his poverty and
pride had kept him silent, and 1t had
come on them as q blow when they
discovered the great interest Helen
took in the visits Of her brothers
chum, and they were forced to see that
Captain Tempest was already more to
her than Harold had ever been. So
Kitty made this remark tentatively, as
sort OF breaking the news to Harold
that II he entered the lists he would
be too late,
Dynevor never guessed Kltty's sus'
plclons. He smiled quite cheerfully as
he said:
"sets the wind in that dlrectloni
Well, you will miss Helen dreadfully,
Kitty, II she marrles; but she is 22,
so suppose it's time she began to
think Of such n thing, and Jack Tenn
pie Is a right down good fellow. took
great fancy to him when he was
here at Christmas, only hope you'll
have as good fortune, Miss Kitty, when
your time comes"
Kitty and her mother exchanged
congratulatory glances, which seemed
to say: "He does not mind! he could
not have cared for her really after al" ="

An English court has just passed
sentence on a drayman for beating a
morse to death. The drayman claimed
he was In the horses stall, when tho
animal kicked at him and that his
beating of the horse was in self-de-
fense, The Judge did not take this
view OF the matter, but said that beat
ing horse to death was not matter
Of self-defensc. The man was fined 80
shillings or given tho alternative Of 30
days in jail.
'rhe question was asked not long ago
by some western writer II horses really
think? The answer given was that
they do think; and reason, too. To
prove II, the fact was recited of a horse
that had been used nearly all of his
life for the carrying Of mail. He GER
tainly learned to distinguish the sign
"PostofIice" from other signs. The
horse was afterward sold to man that
had no occasion to use him as a mail
carrier; but whenever he drove into a
village the horse would pick out the
postofflce by its sign and Insist on
stopping at It

On the basis of the results obtained
the station believes that selling eggs
by the pound would be more rational
than by the dozen, "on what other
article of food Will people be content
to pay the same price for what may
vary over so per cent In value? Or
what producer OF merchantable pro-
duco OF any other kind will consent
to supply all the way up to Sc per
cent more than market value and not
think to add to tho standard price for
additional value?" An apparent OBJ
Jectlon to selling eggs by weight Is
that they are not generally used In the
household In this way. Most recipes
call for eggs by number and not by
weight, There is no question that
weighing the eggs would be more ac-
curate, and recipes are occasionally
met with In which this method is fol-
lowed

MUST CHANGE PLANS.
Park Railway Co. Receives Order
From Street and Sewer Directors.

The Park Railway Company has been
ordered by the Street and Sewer Di-
rectors to change its plans at Fourteenth
and Scott streets. where the road runs
under railroad bridge. This makes u
complicated situation for the company,
and :. looks as though the operation of
the line at that point will be delayed
until the difficulty s overcome.
The siding which runs across Four
tecnth street, is only IL feet above the
grade of the street, which is Is inches
too low for the passage of trolley cars
underneath, and in laying the tracks
the contractor lowered the grade of the
street at that point the required dis
tancc.
As it is below the established grade
the Street and Sewer Directors have
ordered the former grade restored.
This will probably necessitate the rails
ing of the railroad bridge, for which
work negotiations are now pending.
Until the bridge is raised or the diff
Guilty is overcome in some other manner
the trolley line cannot be operated at
that point.

Children In Jail,

Elkton, Md, Feb. l4.-On Satur-
. day State Attorney Williams. Evans,
of Cecil county, swOre out warrant
for the arrest of Salie Shippers, aged
II years, daughter of Calvin Shippers,
charging her with the murder Of her
brother, Howard Shippers, who died
on Thursday morning last from gun
shot wounds inflicted the day before.
Deputy Sheriff William McAllister
took the girl to the county Jail, where
her brother, Thomas Shippers, aged 7
years, is also prisoner, held on the
same charge. Mr.. Evans had the
warrant issued after a conversation
with the boy, who insisted that it
was his sister vino shot his brother
Howard, and said she did 1t because
she was angry with ncr mother for
leaving her at home while the mother
went away, and that by shooting the
boy the mother would soon return.
The girl denies the story of her
brother and ms lists that Thomas kill
ed their brother Howard because he
refused to give HIM chew of tobacco.
Justice Henry II. Gilpin will likely
give the children d hearing this week,
but just wi at will be done with them
is problematical Owing to the ten
der years of both the prisoners it is
likely they will be sent to a home, as
their parents are in poor circum-
stances and not able TO provide prop
erly for them.

Brandywine Race.

James e. Kennedy, employed as Il
lahorcr in Brandywine Park, while at
work near the William Lea n Sons
Company's race on Friday, heard a cry
for help. He lost no time in running
to the part of the race near the gates
from whence came the cries. There he
found neatly clad boy of about years
of age almost exhausted, splaShing in
the race, and in imminent danger of
drowning. Kennedy grabbed him by the
coat and pulled him from his perilous
position. The boy cried pi,eously and
after sobbing out words of thanks to
his rcscuer, he did not wait to give
any explanation, but started for home.
Kennedy feels sorry that he did not
ask the boy his name. The lad ran
across Market street and kept on to
King street where he was lost to Ken

said: There are a great many pe0-

purpose of every man to have and to
keep good conscience. 1t should be
the purpose of every man to be honest

acter for cash nor the equivalent Of

About . o'clock yesterday morning the
new draw bridge which spans the Della
ware and Chesapeake canal near Kirk
wood, was swung into position by work.
men of the contractors and Delaware
Railroad Company. The work of swing
ing the bridge was done with heavy
cranes.
1t required hut about FIVE minutes to
put the big bridge into position, which
was considered very difficult engineer
ing feat as the bridge Is three track
one. The work was successful in every
way and not the slightest accident oc-
Cured to mar the occasion. Such an
engineering feat had attracted much
attention among engineers and the work
was witnessed by number of engineers
from different parts of the country.
General Superintendent n. +. Brooks

among the spectators who saw the
work of swinging the bridge into posi-
ton. Superintendent Brooks and party
consisted of number of prominent rail
