STRICTLY FRESH EGGS.
They Certainly should Find a Ready
Market whenever Perfect
Food Is in Demand.

There are various articles of food
which can be produced hundreds OF
miles away from the place of consump-
ton, and which suffer no injury or
deterioration from transit; but others
are pershable in their nature, and
even when not actually perishable do
not retain the quality which is their
characteristic, nor are they absolutely
fresh. In these days of rapid transit
of refrigerators, etc, great deal has
been done to minimize the difficulty
indicated, but distance must always be
an important factor in this class OF
food.
Eggs are included in the list of per-
ishable articles, but consumers do not
realize that to obtain an egg in its very
best state and while its nutritive value
is greatest it must be absolutely fresh
not more than two or three days old;
and vet multitudes of those who by
reason of their ability to pay for good
quality ought TO create demand for
the best are content TO be put off with
eggs in which, ( o say the least, the first
indication Of decomposition can be
traced. For really fresh eggs it is es-
sential that a price be paid which is re-
numerative to the producer. Some
producers do not feed their hens dur
ing the greater part of the year, but
allow them to find their own susten-
ance. If eggs were not perishable
articles our farmers could not hope
to secure the highest prices. Con-
sumers, therefore, should realize the
fact and be willing to pay a reasonable
price for absolutely fresh eggs. When
once they understand how superior
these are to those not fresh they will
do so. If consumers will insist upon
having the best (Which some do), and
be willing to pay fair prices for it, they
will obtain an article of food superior
to anything that can be used, consid.
ering the various modes in which eggs
can be used and their high nutritious
yalue.-Farm and Fireside.

Renewing Old Pastures.

The severe drought has been hard
on pastures, both on account of lack
of moisture and on account of over
stocking. The sod is killed out in
places, and weeds will come in. A
great deal of our natural pasture
land should not be broken except
when new seeding becomes abso-
lutely necessary, and the lifetime of
these pastures could be prolonged by
some attention right now. The best
way to control weeds is to crowd
them out, and there is no better plant
than timothy to do this until until
better pasture grasses can get new
foothold. In September, no matter
if the weather is dry, a grain drill,
with sharp hoes, should be run over
all thin patches in the pasture, dis
tributing one-fourth TO one-third of
bushel of timothy seed an acre in
connection with 200 pounds an acre of
high-grade acid phosphate. The
drill-hoes will put the thin sod so that
some of the seed will find fresh soil
for starting when the fall rains come,
and the trash of the old sod will fur
nish some winter protection to the
new plants. If some stable manure
can be spared for light top dressing
it will pay well in making sod that
will choke out the weeds. We expect
too much of our pastures, and help
them too little. If the bare spots were
given some seed in bad years, and
some fertilizers were added after
light scratching of the surface, weeds
would be kept under control, more
grass would be gotten, and the break
ing-plow need not be used so frequent
ly on land that needs the protection
of sod all the time. If we would
look upon pasture grasses as n crop,
and give them attention when most
needed, our labor would be rewarded
fully as well as it is when applied to
most titled crops.-Farm and Fireside.

The Poultry House Floor.

A poultry raiser advises building the
poultry house floor of dirt. He says
that GENE mt floors cause bumblefoot
and that board floors are little better.
We think that the gentleman has paid
too little attention to the height Of
his roosts. There is no need OF having
the roosts so high that every time a
fowl flies down it will result in bruis-
ing the feet. Board floors and cement
floors are certainly advisable in many
cases, and if the roosts are low there
need be no damage from bumble-foot.
The writer of this has used board
floor for years, with roosts only 1S
inches above it. No case of bumble-
foot ever materialized. Moreover, 1t
is entirely feasible to keep the floor
covered. with dirt, dust or chaff.-

For Falling Hair.

An authority recommends as an al
most sure remedy for failing hair the
use of some preparation of petroleum.
The value of this agent in restoring vi
tally to the follicles is not new, but
It's suggestion will bear repetition. A
jelly or pomade made from crude pc
troleum, or the deodorized petroleum
In liquid form, may be used. What
ever the variety of the product, the APP
plication is the same. A gentle daily
massage, with the tips of the fingers
to the roots of the hair, should be per-
sisted in, as long as the need is shown.
At first the hair will be somewhat oily,
but brushing with soft brush will
remedy this disadvantage. Two or
three weeks is usually sufficient to stop
the hair from coming out and restore
its luster.-N. Y. Post.

A Novel ARTILLERY Propo.itlon.

ITO meet the more frequent use of
lntrenchments which modern battles
will present, and to cope with the great
er obstacles due to the more intense
fire OF the defense, it is suggested that a
special artillery corps be provided
whose guns can deliver so-called ver-
teal fire.
"a brigade of $50 such pieces, requir-
Ing personnel OF about 5000 men and
1900 animals might be sent to South
Africa with more tangible results than
by sending 100000 men, OF infantry
ordinary artillery or cavalry. Such n
brigade of guns could be carried wher-
ever infantry could go. They could
be placed in position in n concen-
trated mass behind hills or woods, so
that they might arrange to direct their
fire upon any desired point of the enc
my's position, without being disturbed
by the enemy's fire."-Capt. Zelinski,

Airy for Profit.

Every poultry raiser should be able
to tell at any time, how many fowls
he has, how many eggs he is getting,
how many chicks he has Matched, and
the number OF eggs required to hatch
them, how many fowls or chicks he
loses by death or otherwise. In short
n poultry raiser should have n rec
ord of each and every days transac'
ton for all the fowls on the premises
Eggs in abundance, rapid growth in
market poultry, and top prices for his
products, are all necessary to the
poultryman's prosperity; but the
most important factor and one that
must be considered first, last and all
the time, is the cost price. There is
no profit in eggs at twenty-five cents
per dozen If the eggs have cost TWEEN
ty-six cents. There is profit in eggs
at twelve and q half cent per dozen il
the cost has been but ten cents per
dozen. Just so with poultry, il the
cost of production has been too much,
by just that much is the profit re-
duced. And if the product, either
eggs, or poultry has cost more than
the very least for which it could have
been produced it has cost too much
Care should be exercised in the use OF
high-priced foods, expensive houses
and apparatus, when cheaper foods
buildings and appliances will do just
as well; also in the construction OF
the buildings, for when so awkardly
arranged that too much time is con-
sumed in caring for the fowls, this is
an added expense. Id is not always
true that the thing lowest in price, all
things considered, is the cheapest, nor
is it always true that the best is the
cheapest.
Food that is poor in quality is gen.
orally dear at ony price. Yet a high
priced food ought always to be used
under protest, as it were, and only
until something equally as good and
lower in price car be found to use as
a substitute. There are times when
it is necessary TO buy what you want
and pay the price asked. One who
is familiar with the markets and with
the feeding value of available food is
often able to substitute low-priced
commodity for Il more expensive one
without detrimeDt to the fowls aud
with gain to himself.-Geneva March,
in Epitomist.

NO FENCE COR

The Very Good Reason for the

Great Fields That Are a Feature

and love of travel

CURIOSITY and a love Of travel
combined caused me to take an
extensive trip through the ag-
ricnltural sections of Western Canada
during the past summer, ard while
there l was given the best of opportu-
mites of studying and judging for my
self of the conditions that exist in that
extensive section of our continent.
After had travelled over few mil
lion acres of Western Canada, and
watched and studied what at first
seemed to me an extravagant waste of
land on the part of the farmers, be-
came better acquainted with condi'
tions and the very good reasons for
this seeming wastage.
had been used to the farming oper-
atoms of the more thickly populated
States, where to make farming pay it
was necessary to cultivate practically
every foot of ground; where it was the
rule rather than the exception to go
to the length OF blasting out, if neces-
sary, heavily rooted trees or large
powders; where much of the farm
land was secured by clearing it of tim
Der and stones, which had been accom-
plished only after years of toll and
privation on the part of the first set
tiers. There travelled with me over
these millions of acres of Canadian soil

just this sort of farm in Michigan,
and, as he expressed.it, "land was Sc
scarce and so valuable because of its
scarcity that we had to cultivate even
the corners of the rail fences"
But in my journey through the agri'
cultural section of Western Canada,
ranging from Winnipeg on the east to
the Rocky Mountains on the west, and
from the international boundary on
the south to the Saskatchewan river

Strange Coincidence.

On December 5, 1864, a vessel crossing
the Menai strait with 81 passengers ON
board encountered terrific gale and
foundered. The only man who escaped
death was Hugh Williams. More than
100 years later, on December s, 1850, an
other vessel with a large number OF
passengers sank in the same circum-
stances and in the same place. All the
passengers were drowned except one,
again Hugh Williams. Again, on De-
cember 5, 1920, boat laden, with 80
people sank in the same spot. The sole
survivor once more was Hugh Will

CHICKENS WITH PIP.

ty is the presence of the cape worm,
little red worm with V-shaped

juncture of the male and female
worms. We give this much for iden-

can be removed by a feather and some
claim to remove them with drops of
turpentine. Others have failed in all
the things they have tried. Without
doubt prevention is the factor that

New way of Keeping Eggs.

A new method OF preserving eggs IL
being tried. Fresh laid eggs are care
fully opened and the contents of the
shell put into glass jars which are
closed after the air has been drawn out.
The jars are put into coldstorage and
sold to the bakers in large cities, who
are glad to be rid of the shells; at the
same time this enables both seller and
buyer to tell at glance whether the
package is good or not. Special care
must be given to their packing, for
one bad egg will quickly spoil the whole
jar. This, like bottled milk, will only
hare limited sale in our large cities.
