HOW TO SHIP EGGS.
A Method of Packing Barrels by
Which the ~Contentslre Held

Commission merchantspublish Ii
rections for shipping eggevery year.
Where farmers combine ship eggs
they should use long, stiff brrels. Tut
two or three inches of lon stalk lay
or straw .,enly over the boom of he
barrel. thsn finely cut stralor wheat
chaff (never use oats chafor buck
wheat chaff) to a depth of tw or three
inches, then a layer of eggsaid upon
the sides. evenly embedded inhe pa elk
ing, with the ends toward th barrel,
but fully one inch from tn sta7es.
Cover this layer of eggs withholding
to the depth of one inch, and ub well
in between the eggs with tn hand.
Place about three inches of tn pack
ing material over the last layr, and
then about the same quantity { long
straw or hay, as at the bottom Fill
SO that the head must be presseduwn
with a lever or. by other mechrical
power. This method of packin, will
hold the contents so firmly thatthey
cannot shift in the barrel. In wnter
guard against frost by using note
packing material, leaving the .gss
1urIner from lue packages.
Never pack in new oats, straw or chat;
these will sweat and rot the eggs ina
very short time. Dry oats make god
packing material, but are too expei-
sive. Do not crowd too many eggs b
one packing. For an ordinary foir
barrel from IS to 20 dozen are guile
sufficient. Put about four aid one
half dozen to the layer up to 81 and
one-ha1f dozen in the two layer. then
decrease again at the same rate.
Count carefully and mark the nuiber
on the head of the barrel. In wrm
weather forward the packages by x
press. When only a small quantity f
eggs is sent, and at short distances
they may be packed in mill board par
t~itions, a egg in each square cell, Sc
in a layer, the whole contained in a
handy-sized packing case, or with care
full packing in straw or chaff. Baskets
may be used when there is a sufficient
quantity to fill them, but a barrel
makes the best package.-Farm and

AN HONEST NAME.
Am Illinois Statesman Tells a Goo
Story-Knew His Fathers Son
Would Not Lie.

The Honorable Alva Merrill OF
Chillicothe member of the Twenty
fourth District State of Illinois House
of Representatives, tells an interest.
ing story:
Some two years ago Mr.. Merrill
gave a testimonial stating that Dodd's
Kidney Pills cured his rheumatism
This, with Mr.. Merrilrs portrait, were
published in thousands of papers all
over the United States.
On the train returning home from
Springfield one day last winter were
the Honorable Mr.. Merrill and several
other members. After a time one OF
them said:
Merrill, what time do you get to
Chillicothe? ?"
This attracted the attention of al
old man who had been apparently
Merrill and as soon as he heard the
name he rushed up to his a and
extending his hand said:
you are Alva Merrill and you
saved my life. / was almost dead
with Lumbago and in an advertise
ment I saw your picture and your rec
ommendation of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
I knew your father and I knew his
sol would not lie and therefore I de-
cided to try the Pills.
81 am satisfied that Dodd's Kidney
Pills and nothing else have saved my
life and 1 have been waiting this OPP
portunity to thank you personally, for

I might never have been led to use
this remedy, but, thank God, through
your honest name and the honest
medicine which you so heartily rec
commended, I am still alive.

OF R
70 In Probably the Best Chemical
4hat Cam De Used to Keep I'm
sects Ont of Grain.

To prevent insects from getting
into newly threshed wheat care
should be taken that the bins are
perfectly clean. If bins or store
houses are thoroughly cleaned and
whitewashed before the grain is
placed in them, many cracks and
crevices filed with insects viii be
stopped up. The granary should be
made as tight as possible, and thor
oughly disinfected each season. Be
fore the adoption of bisulphide of
carbon, one remedy practiced was
heating the infested grain to lao de-
grees. 1t was left in this tempera-
ture from eight to ten hours. The
remedy was difficult to adopt. and
was not extensively used. Tobacco,
sulphur and many other substances
have been recommended, but have
not been used with satisfactory re-
suits where large quantities of grain
are stored. The simplest, most eff
fective and least expensive of all REM
edies for stored grain insects, says
the Globe Democrat, is the use of BIZ
sulphide of carbon. To insure grain
from the attack of insects it should

~ after being placed in the bin. 1t is
a foul-smelling liquid, which evapo-
rates very readily. The fumes are
heavier than air and penetrate the
grain, producing an atmosphere in
which no insect can live. Although
explosive, this material can be han
died without danger if care is taken
not to have lights of any kind around
during the fumigation. The material
can be thrown directly upon the
grain, without injuring it either for
Seed or edible purposes. About one
pound, equivalent to a pint, is nee
essary for one ton of grain in store.
1t should be poured in soup plates
or tin pans, set about the surface of
the grain. The price of bisulphide of
carbon varies from IS to 80 cents per
pound. depending on purity and guam
tity purchased. There is a grade
known as fuma-bisulphide of carbon,
especially manufactured for the dis
infection of grain and seeds.

final games have been completed and
Berkeley and Lowell High schools will
fight on the gridiron for the championship

league. Berkeley is one Of the heaviest.
averaging l57 pounds to the man, while
Lowell is the lightest, with an average

Last year representatives of these
schools contested for the championship,
Lowell winning by a score of 6 to 5. Kee-
gan, Kidd, Nos Burgh, Mackinne and
Hamilton, who were in the winning team
last year, are playing again this season
and in improved form. Hamilton and
NOs Burgh are undoubtedly two of the
best men in the Academic League.
Kern, on Berkeley'S team, and Plum

In all close, hard contest is expected
between the two teams, which are evenly
matched, except as to weight. This, how

LEASHMEN LOOK
FOR PALO ALTO
TO MEET BEACON
Americas Best Hounds Are Prom
ised for Next Weeks Cham
pion Stake.

The champion stake which has been
announced by the Union Coursing Park
management for next weeks attraction
is awaited with eager anticipation by the
Patrons of the sport.
Among other features, and one that
will bring out the leashmen in force, is
the fact that Americas greatest grey
hounds, Palo Alto and Beacon, have been
promised for the event. With these rival
courSerS entered in a sixteen-dog stake,
the probabilities of their meeting in the
final are more than good. The possibility
of such a deciding course is enough to
enthuse every follower Of the game.
AS a youngster, Bescon had a shade
the better of Geary's speedy one in the
matter of winning performances, but
later Palo Alto commenced to improve.
and to an extent that he was awarded
the palm, not only as the fastest dog in
America, but was coEaidered the equll
of any courser ever bred.
The black and whito champion has
shown his ability to outdo Curtis next
best hound, young Rector, in any kind
of a trial, and IS not lacking in support
against any other hou1d now in the run
ming.
Beacon's long retirement had de-
pressing effect on his admirers, and as
stake after stake was drawn without d
mention of the great blue dogs name,
the coursing enthusiasts gave up hope CT
seeing him on the field, in form again or
king pin for the big John Grace cup
stake the wise ones declared that the
long respite from open coursing trials
had dimmed the prospects of Beacon s
chances of getting within the big money.
AS the stake progressed, however, and
Beacon showed a decided Improvement
after each course the knowing ones were
not slow in figuring that Curtis was out
for first money and had his champion
ready and primed to go the distance for
the much-coveted honors.
Beacon's complete victory over his ken
mel mate places him the head of the
list of class performers, with only Pao
Alto, and probably Sisquoc, having a
chance to deprive him Of his exalted posi-
ton, for this season at least.

Exciting Contests IN the Various

Unusual interest is being shown in the
handball tournament of the Olympic Ath-
letic Club. All available space in the gall
lery is taken every night by enthusiasts
who applaud the clever plays when they
are not shooting shafts of wit at the play
ers. The standard of the game is unusu-
ally high, while the court, according to
Fitzgerald the worlds champion, has no
equal in this country.
The playing has been close, showing
clever handicapping on the part of Cap
tain George James and ]. j. Gleason, who
had 1t in charge.
Handball has taken a firm hold on the
members of the club, having attracted
many men from other forms of sport 1t
al once furnishes exercise and relaxation
as 4 player cannot take business or other
cares into the court when he is opposed
by u lively antagonist
The games last night resulted as fol-

RAIN RETARDS
PLAY ON THE
TENNIS COURTS
The Enthusiasts Watch Their
Opportunities to Play Be-
tween Showers.

Inc wet weather Of the past week made
play on the tennis courts rather light A
IeW enthusiasts took advantage of the
occasional dry periods and some good
matches were played. The courts in
Golden Gate Park dry much more rapidly
1han most clay courts, because Of the oil
on the surface. The clubhouse being built
in the park is substantial one and is
being fitted with every convenience Play
ers will be supplied with both lockers and
shower baths.
Probably the most interesting tourna-
ment from the players point of view is
the straight handicap singles An affair
OF his kind was held last Sunday on the
California Club courts and proved a sue
cess. In a class tournament. as rule,
one man in each class is so far superior
to The rest that the outcome is never in
ooupl In straight handicap there is
more uncertainty, and each man has or
shouId nave, an equal chance. In the
tournament of last Sunday the sixth
system of handicapping was employed and
worked smoothly. This system has been
IN use for several years in the East and
II is surprising that local cracks have
peen so SLOW TO recognize its merits. Each
man Is given a number according to his
ability, and as the handicaps are all fig
ured out In the Guide, the odds received
Dy each player can be Seen at a glance.
Certain men enter the local tournaments
with the intention of playing only one
match and if they win this match they
put out some man who is desirous of play
ing throughout the tournament AS a
remedy for this 1T might be well to sug-
gest that these men withdraw before the
hnal point is played and let the match go
to the loser by default. Much better re-
suits would be obtained if this were done
Four men are left to fight for first hon
ors in the handicap singles tournament
which will be completed tomorrow. These
men are Erskine. Gibson, G. N Armsby
and Grant Smith. The latter is the

SltSuld Smith reach the finals his oppo-
nest whether Armsby or Gibson, would

lar, but are not numerous enough to ac-
commodate the hordes that swarm to the
