And again, what yield per acre in pounds OF

Neither, but a normal crop. which is
better than an average one, and less than
one that is perfect all that a region
may be capable of producing. So in such

of 100 means many more bushels in one

EGG-PACKING TESTS.
Summary of a Valuable Report Is
sued by the New York State
Experiment Station.

A few of the methods of packing
eggs dry for keeping have been tried
at the New York experiment station
and reported upon. When fresh the
eggs were wiped with rag saturated
with fat or oil which had been mixed
with some antiseptic, and We're packed
tightly in salt, bran, etc. Eggs packed
in salt during April or May, and which
had been wiped with cottonseed oil to
which had been added boracic acid,
kept from four to five months with a
loss of nearly onethird, the quality
of those served not being good. Eggs
hacked in bran after the same pre-
liminary handling were all spoiled
after four months. Eggs packed in
salt during March and April, after
wiping with vaseline to which salicylic
acid had been added, kept four or five
months without loss; the quality was
mitch superior to that of any ordinary
lined eggs. . a.
These packed eggs were kept in a
barn cellar, the temperature of which
varied from 60 to 70 degrees Fahren-
heit, and each box was turned once
every two days. Little difference was
observed in the keeping of fertile or
infertile eggs, and no difference was
noticeable in the keeping qualities of
eggs from different fowls or from
those under different ratiors.

uu..,au Cattle for Enxland.

The Russians are now talking of in
vading England with their cattle. A
commission from the Russian Agri-
cultural society will visit England
soon to pave the way for this class OF
business. Our shippers need not be
worried about Russian competition in
the live stock field. Russia has COM
paratively few cattle to spare, and
they are not of a class that will meas
ure favorably with ours in quality.
The English people have accepted our
cattle as good if not superior to their
own and no other country can fill the
bill. However, we should not stop at
this, but strive to make them better.
There is still room for improvement

complete until equipped with some
sort of scratching shed, of which the
one presented in the accompanying
cut will serve the purpose admirably
the more, as it is not only available
for the winter season, but also during
transforms at other periods of the
year.
The cost of it's construction is very
small, since no floor need be laid in
it. It's value, nevertheless, can hardly
be estimated. 1t is just the thing for
the practical farm poulterer to have,
for it constitutes a most convenient
rcos ting place for growing chicks dur
ing the summer. The front can be
furnished with frame, covered with
cotton cloth, fitted to the opening and
hinged at the top, to be let down at
night in warm weather if desired, or
on stormy days in winter, when snow
would be likely to blow in if the shed
were left open. This makes it very
complete, indeed.-Frederick o. Sib-
ley, in n. Y. Tribune.

NOTES ABOUT PIGEONS.

Dont't allow draughts in your loft,
as pigeons are very susceptible to cold.
Don't feed new grain to your pi-
ceons, as in many cases evil results
have been known to follow this prac-
tice.
Try tobacco stems for nesting.
They are grand for keeping down YER
min. Don't breed both lice and pi-
geons.
City fanciers are troubled by the
plumage of their pigeons becoming
soiled with tar. Sweet oil will re-
move it.
New beginners in pigeon culture con-
stantly inquire which is the best grit
Tor pigeons. Our experience teaches us
that no better grit can be provided
than old mortar.
In arranging your aviary see that
the perches are arranged low. If the
birds have no high perches to fly to
whep you enter the loft they very rap
idly get accustomed to your appear
ance among them, and therefore be-
come tanner.
Young fanciers are sometimes a a
loss to know where to buy, and procure
their birds at bird stores. Our advice
is to write reputable dealer and send
him your order. They may cost you
little more, but when purchasing al
ways buy the best, as they are the
cheapest in the end.-Orff's Farm and
Poultry Review.

DIGNITY OF FARMING.
or More Learned Calling Than
= That Of Agriculture.

Within recent years it has come to
be acknowledged that the vocation OF
the farmer isthe most dignifed of all
the sciences and as an art it is ,ex-
celled only by those of painting and
architecture. In it's highest forms it
is the most learned of all professions.
A knowledge of geology and chemis-
try and their relations to the soils
lies at the very foundation of scien-
tiic agriculture. The problems that
arise from the complex nature of the
soils and their origin require the
best thought of the best minds to
solve. More educated young men
should be farmers. Agriculture opens
a wide field leading to influence and
power, one, too, that is not filled to
repletion. 1t holds forth the most
splendid promises to young men OF
ambition. It is filled with liberaliz-
ing tendencies, noble conservation
and the most healthful and invigorat-
ing influences. The day is not far
distant when agriculture will attract
men of the largest capacity and the
highest executive ability, and be re-
garded as the greatest of all the pro-
fessions. Let anyone who is familiar
with what agriculture was a hundred
years ago compare its condition
then with what it is to-day and he
will search in vain for the same pro-
portionate elevation and progress
among it's followers in any other
branch of human industry. Many OF
those engaged in agriculture now are
men of high elevation and broad
reading. Many of them have extern
siSe and valuable libraries and take
numerous journals devoted to their
business. Agriculture moves along in
its own quiet, dignitied, but irresisti-
BILE way. 1t has no booms, SO to
speak, but it gathers strength with
each decade and with every accession
of knowledge, and will forever be the
most important branch of human in
dustry and the greatest necessity for
The human race.

ing tape and laces would surrender

their attention to the pursuits OF ag-
riculture there would be less misery
and more contentment in the land;
there would be more independence
and less servility; more men and few
er creatures; more happy wives with
comfortable homes, healthful chill
dren and cheerful tempers. A woman
surrounded by all the active agencies
of well-kept farm and living IN
beautiful country home with foun-
dations and flowers and sweet ever
green's" has those environments that
develop the sweetest graces end high
est impulses of her nature and make
her virtues shine respondent above
the world of frivolity and fashion. She
becomes true woman, the happlest
of wives and the best of mothers.
Such a home and such a wife realize
our highest ideals Of human hapPl'
ness. It is home where lntelll-
gence reigns and ennobles work and
work crowns intelligence with honor
and profit.
A young man who is in search OF an
easy place, with no responsibility,
will never be a master and will never
control others. He who selects a vo-
cation because it is easy is already ef-
feminate.-Souther Farm Magazine.

Giving Late Chicks n Start.

zone thing is true both south and
north, late chicks are not very val
liable. In the former locality excess
sive heat reduces activity and size;
a. nd in the latter early frosts and cold
weather check growth at the other
end O., the season. So says a contem-
porary. But we would suggest that by
feeding beef meal or meat in some
form, with green cut bone, even late
clicks can be given start that will
give them a good size by the time
frosts become frequent. Only those
that have tried it know the effect Of
such feeeding.-Farmers' Voice.

Limestone as Fertilizer.

In order to grow big corn, or other
great crops, one needs to have land OF
large productive capacity. Limestone
soil is well known to be the strongest,
most productive soil. The disintegrat-
ing particles of our limestone are q
continual source of enrichment to the
soil. If we had mills of construction
and capacity sufficient to crush and
grind down to a meal our rich lime
rocks, and should spread this rock
meal over any rundown land, there
would be no limit to its producing
power. No fertilizer ever produced
could nearly equal in value limestone
meal.-T. D. Hubbard, in Farm and
