spring season will be turned especially to
these outer wraps as Ia new point of added

another point. These garments are gowns in

mixed with it the advantage of utility and

New York World.

New York World. ~ 49,.
One of the problems OF the hour, and
one that burns with more intensity in the
rural districts than that Of the Philip
pines or the Anglo Japanese alliance, is
how to compel hens to lay eggs. School
Commissioner. M. IL. Packer of Bayport,
u. L., has solved it and he may we'll be
called the Napoleon of the hen yard. Eggs
are SO high and scarce now that a poor
man can have them only in his dreams,
and it is fact that at the big Chinese
feast in Chinatown this week the eggs
to be eaten are more than 1000 years old.
While Mr. Packer is a normal man as
a school supervisor, and probably one of
the best in that line, there is something
occult and uneanny. In the way in which
he persuades his herd Of tWenty-four Leg
horns to part with eggs every day, no
matter how unfavorable the month. Peo-
pie are pleading with him to open school
and impart his wonderful secret to others,
otherwise the next fad in the smart set
will be egg jewelry-brooches,, rings and
such trinkets-set with real eggs and to
be had only at Tiffany's. Ill.,. ...s..
During the three ''slow'' months of
October, November and December, Mr..
Packer got forty two dozen eggs from his
twenty four Leghorns; in January he got
thirty and half dozen, and for the
four months, clear Of feed, he has a net
profit of SIS on the two dozen hens.
Mr.. Packer is certainly regarded as the
egg king. h.. ' i

Butte, Mont. March 21.-The shipment

big consignment of 600 head from the
Big Hole country. The shipment be-
longed to Edinger & Shaw. cattlemen Of
that region. They were only the advance
guard OF Big Hole beeves which will be
shipped east this season.
1t took sixty cattle cars to accommodate
the beeves and they were rushed to
Omaha as fast as steam could carry them
Stockmen in from Big Hole say that the
bunch were as fine lot Of cattle as were
ever seen. They represented the "tops'
of four thousand head which constitute
Edinger & Shaw's herd. and they ought
to bring the highest price in the cattle
market.
They will be placed in the market In
competition with cornfed eastern cattle,
and it is confidently expected they will
more than fold their own. The cattlemen
say the entire band will dress over 1900
pounds on the scales and will compare
favorably With the best corn-fed cattle
from the Missouri valley. 1t is thought
they will bring about cents a pound on
the hoof.
This being the first shipment of the
season 1t is somewhat in the nature Of
an experiment. and the result will be

Special to The Journal. ss.a r. E
Ames, Iowa, March 21.--A. B. Wright Of
Gilbert station, six miles north of Ames,
has invented a machine that fills want
long evident in creameries and cheese
factories The plan Of apportioning the
skim milk to the patrons of creameries
has been the bane of creamery men.
Wright's invention simplifies this. When
farmer drives up and has his milk
weighed in creamery where this machine
is in use, he receives a check ball in ac-
cordance with the weight of his milk.
This ball he takes to the skim milk tank,
deposits it and receives the correct
amount of milk in. proportion to the
amount he brought in. The ball returns
automatically to the weighman and is
again ready for use. Each different weight
requires different ball and the operator
can at glance pick out the right one.
