SELL NEAR AT HOME.
10 Better Advice Can BE Given to
Anyone Raising Fowls and Eggs
for MOney

Sell your eggs and poultry near the
nome, and in the end better profits
will be realized. 1t is astonishing how
much the home markets are neglected
in this respect. The summer hotels
n the country and the winter hotels
n the south frequently get all their
supplies from some large city, even
their poultry and eggs. L have asked
4 number of proprietors the reason
for such an anomaly. Twas astonished
at the reply. In a few words they said
that they could not rely on the home
supply of eggs or poultry. They would
be willing to pay a little more than
the market rates for either, but the
farmers had become so accustomed to
sending their produce to the cities hat
they were slow in adopting any other
course. They would some days bring
in plenty of eggs, and then for a week
nothing more would be heard of them.
This irregularity could not be en-
dured.
Yet, as another instance of just the
opposite, there is an enterprising
young woman who has a poultry farm
not far from a summer resort She
has contracted to deliver ten dozen
eggs a day through the summer season
to the hotels at a uniform price of %
cents a dozen. The eggs are all fresh,
and she is to be relied upon. The no.
tells would even take more from her.
and she is making efforts to enlarge
her plant. She says she is making
more money with her summer eggs
than with her winter products. Her
ambition is to enlarge her poultry
farm SO she can supply the hotels with
spring broilers and tender chickens
all through the summer season. Hell
tory.
But even in ordinary towns and vii
lagos there are always plenty of fam.
lilies who are willing to buy their eggs
fresh every few days from some near.
by poultry farm. The prices obtained
in this way will be far more
ative than those paid in some distant
city. In the sumemr time fully &C
per cent. of the eggs shipped so miles
or more are partially or wholly ruined
by hot weather. The loss sustained
in this way is enormous, and the farm
ers are the ones to endure it. By all
means the remedy is to cultivate the
nearby markets. Do not try to ship
eggs TO New York, Philadelphia or
other large cities if you live in the
west or south. There are nearer mar
kets which will pay you better.-An-
ME c. Webster, in American C~ultivator.

washing and working Butter.

After drawing off the buttermilk
wash twice or Until the wash water
runs off clear. Then work in salt to
suit the taste of your trade and set
away for three or four hours, then re-
work and pack or stamp. The interval
between sailing and stamping allows
the salt thoroughly to permeate the
whole mass, and the second working
also insures a uniform mixing of the
salt as well as working out any excess
of water. Never work butter when
t is warn enough to be salvy. There
are two watchwords for the butter
maker. They are cleanliness and uni
formity, and are worth remembering
if you are looking for trade and repu-
tation-

Loss of Corn Fodder.

Corn fodder that is not cut down
Until the leaves are yellow and then
left all winter in the field where the
shocks are blown over and the fod-
der exposed to rains and frosts, is
usually worth nothing, n instead
of so doing it will be better to haul
it to the barnyard and let the cattle
pick it over before it loses value; but
If the fodder is cut when somewhat
green, and cared for, the farmer will
find that it is as valuable as the
grain. There is an annual enormous
Joss of fodder in this country which
should not occur.

cussing a most remarkable cure of a
severe case of Kidney Disease in this
county. Mr.. Byron o. Leslie, OF
Northport, has for years been a VIC
tim of Kidney arrangements with all
the consequent pain and annoyance.
He was gradually growing worse and
as the disease advanced he became
very respondent, often wondering if
he would have to endure this suffer-
ing all his lifetime.
But at last he found a remedy that
cured him in Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
was much pleased, but did not say
much about it lest the good effect he
experienced would not last. Now.
however, after months of continued
good health he has concluded that he.
is permanently cured, and his an
~nouncement of this has caused a pro-
found sensation among the physi.
clans and the people who knew of his
apparently hopeless condition.

The HOG Take. the Cake.

We believe the hog is justly en-
titled to the distinction which the
name mortgage litter" confers upon
him. If statistics were obtainable
we have no doubt they would show
thai more farm debts have been paid
with money received from sales of
hogs than from any other source. We
well remember when hogs were SELL
ing as low as three dollars per hum
dred, and many farmers know that
they made some profit at that figure
on their herds. The hog comes very
near illustrating the statement that
money grows. With proper
ment no farm product grows quicker
into dollars than the always interest
ing "grunter."-National Rural.

So injurious is life on a torpedo boat
that a years continuous service will
mentally and physically i~ncapacitate a
man. This assertion is made on the au-
thority of Lord Charles Beresford, bur
that the strain on anyone serving IN
these craft is very great is shown by
the fact that to one months service
the British naval regulations allow one
week off. Austria is endeavoring to
mitigate the hardship of service IN
these boats, and life on one built fer
the Austrian navy, and tried on the
Thames recently, was demonstrated to
be pleasanter than on those of the
English navy.-Chicago Tribune.

Gtrantic Earthworms.

Sir Harry Johnston, whose discov-
cry of a new species of animal in the
Uganda protectorate has excited much
interest among naturahsts, brought
back to London and exhibited there
early this summer a specimen of a
gigantic species of earthworm which,
when alive, was about three feet long
and as thick as two fingers. Even
larger species of earthworms than
this exist. Ceylon has some giants, of
a blue color, that attain as great q
size. In Cape Colony and Natal there
is a species, particoiored, green above
and yellowish beneath, which, it is
averred, sometimes ~attains a length
of SIX feet. Giant earthworms are
also found in Australia and in South
America Nature.

Pacling HONEY for Market.

In packing comb honey for market
It is to the producers interest to face
the cases honestly. The row of combs
next to the glass should be a fair sam
pie of the whole case. Do not sell
your reputation while selling your
honey, for you will probably have
some honey to dispose of in the flu
ture. Try to build up your reputation
by dealing honestly. If light and dark
honey are packed together in the same
case, you may get the price for all
light honey, but if the cases are
opened you will surely get paid for all
dark honey. The poor will ~depreciate
the good, sc pack each grade separate
and face honestly.-F. G. Herman, in

Rye Shoot. Among the wheat.

Some of the most valuable plants
Ire weeds If grown where not de-
sired. Where wheat is largely grown
rye is n of che most detested weeds
that appear in the field. It is very
difficult to separate the wheat and rye
grains, and rye is therefore likely to
appear every year if the homegrown
seed wheat is used. The rye shoots
to seed ahead of wheat, however, and
the heads can be cut off with a sickle,
which should be done just before the
wheat heads out. 1t is easier to use
clean seed, however, and avoid work
ing in the growing wheat.
