About Fertility of Eggs.

To obtain the best Results in
fertility, the breeding stock
should be well fed. Starved
stock can uever do it's best in re-
production and no one ought to
expect it The length of time
male is placed with the females
will also nave something to do
with the fertility of the eggs.
At test made at Canadian Ex-
pertinent Station the following
results were detained;
They separated ten laying
hens from the male aud placed
the eggs in an incubator each
day ito test them. DuriNg the
FIRST four days 20 per cent.
proved fertile, fifth day 81 per
cent, sixth day 90 per cent,
seventh day ~ per cent eighth
day y per oeut., niath day ? per
cent, zenith day all we're ia fertile.
They then puta uaale ~ith six
laying hens Shich had not been
with male, ard tested the eggs
ia the same way. They found
80 per cent. fertile GA the third
day; ~ per ceat. on the fourth
day; fifth day so per cent sixth
day 90 per cent, seveOth day 20
per cent, eighth day 6S per cent,
ninth day 20 per cent, and tenth
day "A per cent. 1t would seem,
then, that nearly three-foarths
of the eggs are fertile four days
after the male is taken away, or
a week after the male is putin.
There would probably be Som e
difference in the males, however,
about that, and mum Der of hens
might have considerable in
fluence. They also kept two
lots, each containing FIVE hens
and Eve pullets, one with a male
and the other without, from jan
uary LIST to September 1st, feed
ing and caring for them alike.
Those with the male laid $50
eggs, while those without laid
972 eggs, a difference so small as
to decide nothing, as it might be
accidental. American p. & II.

A Loving Wife Takes a Corn Knife

log home drunk and abusing his
wife and family. Yesterday after
noon he left home in a bad humor,
and his wife, knowing that he

he was crazy drunk as usual, and
commenced to beat her. She got
out of bed and went to work with

paid for at the rate of ~ cents

White Belgian Hares.

Mr.. Aug. D. Arnold, Dillsburg,
Pa, who has given the American
Fancier one of the finest fowls
we have to-day, the Buff Leg
horn, writes us that when he
first introduced the White Bel
gian hare last September he put
before the fanciers of this coun-
try something as honest and
genuine as was ever brought be-
fore the public. He tells us that
the White Belgian was eXamirc
at the late Madison Square Gar
den Show by some Of the best
experts in this country, and
were pronounced the true article.
He says that no one who sees
them and knows what Belgian
or common white rabbit is, dares
deny the fact that they are pure
Belgian hares. Mr., Arnold says:
The question is often asked how
they are made, what crosses
we're used, etc, They we're not
made at all, nor were any crosses
used. They are the pure pro-
ducts of nature, and are to-day
as nature gave them to us-a
pure albino direct out of the ru-
fus red hare, They came the
same as the white rat, White
mouse, White deer, White Wy
audotte and the White Plymouth
Rocks. No crosses were ever
used to produce them. l have
to-day buck which came direct
from high pedigreed reds-a
pure al6ino. No animal breeds
more true than an albino. The
White Belgian hare comes pure
white every one in a thousand
Should think from the experience
have had with them. DR.. Plat
told me at New York that he had
ouly seen one before he saw
mine, that one came in large
western rabbitry as an albino.

upon the actual experiences of this
cultivated physician and scholar. For
many years DR.. Mitchell has number

Of the men worth knowing in b east
and from many sources has derived
the sayings with which his book
abounds, matters made essential to
the progress of the story by e~xemplify-

Touching on the relative sizes of men
is an excellent story of the civil war.
When the Co~nfederates were march
ing through Pennsylvania on their way
to the fatal field of Gettysburg they
passed a little house at the roadside.
On the porch of it stood a little girl
and her mother gazing at the unusual
sight. Just behind the fence barked
Beaver, a little terrier, giving every
evidence OF his loyalty to the Union
by his voice and bearing. At last one
of the southern commanders guided

SHORT NEWS STORIES.
ekobe1eR Before Constantin0p1e.
Now VIII You Smile .-An
Army In

Frederic Villiers, the famous war art
list, in an photographed sketch con-
tributed to a London periodical, gives
this picturesque description of his last
meeting with General 1Skobelef:
HE was far and away the most bril-
liant soldier l ever met; a man with
mad ideas and sane execution. The
last time I saw him was when the
Russian army faced Constantinople, a
splendid instance of the survival Of b
fttest, 10000 grim warriors who had
come through the terrible Russo-Turk-
ish campaign under Skobeleff, ready at
a moments notice to occupy the city Of
sultans. 1t was a gray afternoon. The
great general stood outside his tent,
b~areheaded, scalp shaver like a Mus
sulman, flowing yellow beard blown
about by the wind. L had arrived
from Constantinople to bid farewell
to him, as 1 had been ordered to Malta
to meet the Indian contingent. Skobe-
left said to me:
mot goodby, Villiers, but au revoir.
We shall meet again, but how? Will
it be when the Russians face the Brit
ish?' for Skobelef fully believed. as
did most people in 1873, that there
would be a campaign between England
and Russia, cor will you throw in
your fortunes with US and come with
me? It would be a new experience
for you"
"But," I said, general, how would il
be If you were beaten, for you know
we English are never defeated?"
He laughed and said: "Well, anyhow
I shall be well looked after. No harm
shall come to o in your case"
I never saw him again.

The Kings Revenge.

A quaint little story is told of the
late king of Italy and his dislike for
music. The king and Queen Margher-
tia lived in such harmony that they
could afford to play small jokes upon
each other without fear of misunder-
standing. OF late years the queen
found it necessary to wear glasses in
order to read, but the sight of them SO
annoyed the king hat he would say
whenever she was about to put them
on, "Margherita, put down those glass
esp
The queen did not obey IN one occa-
sion, and the king exclaimed, MAR
gherita, if you don't put down those
glasses instantly I shall sing!"
Now, as the king had not the slight
est ear for music and his wife had this
threat proved ~efaeacious. The glasses
were removed.
