Sheffield. March 15.-The Telegraph
yesterday said that suggestions and
official representations have been
made IN influential circles with a
view to postponing the coronation not
only because of Lord Methuen's disas'

lists of casualties received from South

those cause hundreds of homeless

painful contrast TO the rejolcing1 and

SpasmOdiC Advertising.

Many business firms indulge
in what many be called "spasmod-
ic Advertising" apparently
thinking that in the rush and
clamor of business dealers are
going to call a halt and invoke
memory to resurrect them from
the jaws of oblivion. This IS a
fallacy, as the experience of men
we'll versed in the arts0of adver-
Using well know. People in
want of certain fgoods scan the
columns of a journal for dealers
in or manufacturers of those
lines because it is the speediest
and surest way of reaching them.
If their name is there, all right;
it it is not, they will undoub ted-
ly get left, as the busy dealer, if
he remem bers them at all, will
suppose they have not got what
he wants, or they would let it be
known in a regular way through
accepted channels. A big show
in a single issue may be a good
thing for that once, but people
have their own affairs TO remem-
her and can not lum Der their
memories with others. The ex-
perience of men who have made
advertising a study and have
profted by it because it has been
done methodically and with dis
tinct ends in view, is that the
very best plan, and one that is
productive of the best results, is
to keep well-worded advertise
ments running throughout the
year, and, as often as a novelty
or new idea appears in stock,
to let the world know all about
it.-Baker's Record,

The sun will cross the equinox on
the Dist, there will be full moon
the BIRD, Good Friday comes on the
18th, with seed potatoes selling at
two dollars a bushel, and the
Easter hat will be ripe on the 3Oth.
This will be the greatest month
that ever perambulated down the
pike or abominated up to the bar.
1t will be iulI of wonderful evepts,
phenomena and fights in the SEN
ate, with Edward VII. still the un-
crowded king of England and the
hog market weak. After Easter
we expect spring.
When the sap begins to rise,
When the wild goose northward
flies,
When the buzzard $ in the skies,
When we hear the robins cries,
When the horsemen advertise,
uGu IL plluS'
When the geese begin 10 nest,
When the frogs wake from their
rest,
When the hens all do their best,
When the schoolboy sheds his vest
And takes bad cold in his chest,
Then it's spring.
When the horse begins to shed,
When the brood-sow makes her
bed,
When the gobbler's neck turns red
When the candidates are bled,
And to the nearest bar are led,
Then it's spring.

Nhle d srOwn ZOOS?

itss d curious fact that certain
aarkets demand eggs OF one col
or or shade and others demand
pther colors. Eggs that sell at
che highest price in New York,
would not be considered the
bestin Boston, because ofthe diff
6erence in color. There is a
prevalent notion in some parts of
the country that brown or dark
colOred eggs are better than
white ones. However this no.
ton may have become current,
there is no difference in the
flavor or value of eggs that have
been produced under similar
conditions. The egg Of a Brah-
ma is no richer nor of better fla
vOr than that of the Leghorn, if
the feed provided for both
breeds is the same.
The eggs from an individual
hen may be richer than the eggs
from another. Richness cannot
be fed into eggs by feeding hens
rich food. Hens must be fed on
such food, the elements of which
go to make eggs, and that is as
far as the feeder can go in the
production of eggs. Feed will
flavor the eggs very often, espe-
cially if fowls are fed on such
pungent food as onions. Eggs
differ in size and freshness,
and These are the qualities that
recommend them to the buyer.
Food rich in elements that go to
form eggs, if it can be assimila-
ted by the hen will increase the
mum Der Of eggs laid, but no in
crease can be obtained in quality.
The color of the yolk is some
times influenced by the kind of
food given, but analysis will not
indicate any increased richness.

Concerning Eggs.

If it costs in actual money ST
a year to keep them, and the hen
days 200 eggs there is net profit
of so per cent even though the
average price of eggs is only 12c
a dozen.
AS no other farm stock would
pay this average profit, this
subject is one that should be
.stadied. On this subject a
POu1tryman gives the following
facts:
The pullet that begins to lay
at the earliest age and continues
10 lay the longest is the ideal
mother for a strain of good lay
ers,
1t does not matter much what
hbe breed may be, 50 the prop
er feed and care is given. A hit
and miss plan of selecting breed
ers will never improve a breed.
The man who would improve d
strain of layers, should know the
individual so we'll that he knows
Tor himself which ones are often
oct Or, the nest
This he will soon learn if bis
powers of observation are at all
good. It is because this is true
that we have poultry fanciers-
men who will give their whole
attention to their stock. The
average market poultryman has
other things to do and other
things that must be attended to.
He must look to the fancier for
breeders that will produce a
large number Of eggs for his
foundation stock.

opposing candidate, having with

pressions of dissatisfaction. Gen.
Palma was called by his political enc

candidate of the bureaucracy; but
the best evidence is of at least ac-
quiescence if not satisfaction.
Gen. Palma may properly be called
the American candidate in this sense
that he accepts the settlement of
the whole Cuban question that was
brought about under the Platt reso-
luton. For this there could have
been no other choice of a president
so fit. He is a Cuban by birth and
