When in any doubt as to the moral
quality of eggs in the shell, it is better
to break them into the frying pan for
your own breakfast than to make some
town lady mad enough to swear by
getting one of them into the angel
food she is making for the church So
cable. Egg testing should be confined
strictly to the farm.

There are lots of men just as greedy
to hold their farm produce for still
higher prices when prices are almost
out Of sight as when their stuff was
selling below the cost of production.

There is a peculiar connection be-
tween poor farming and mortgages.
Whether the poor farming makes the
mortgage or the mortgage the poor
farming has never been quite clear to
US.

With such splendid opportunity to
get out of debt as the present for the
long debt burdened farmer we regret
to see so many sighting the opportuni-
ty to secure their emancipation and in
dependence and actually increasing the
burden under the stimulus of big
prices for farm products.

A DOLLAR AND A HALF PER HEN.

A bright woman at recent farm in
stitute made the statement that she
kept the large number of $50 Brown
Leghorn fowls on the farm home
stead running at large; that these fowls
averaged her an annual income of
$l.50 each, mostly derived from eggs.
Cross questioned pretty closely, the
lady said that she had never been
bothered with any poultry diseases;
that the hens gave her as good a pro
rata return when the number was $50
as when the number was only 100.
This story tends to upset the generally
accepted theory that $50 hens are about
the limit which can be profitably kept
upon farm homestead. The lady add
ed that these fowls went everywhere
and that it was useless to attempt to
have a garden or even small fruit
where they were SO kept.

WINTER PASTURE,

Winter pasture is a queer sounding
title to men who live where winter
runs from November to March, and
still such pastures, even in such lati-
tudes, may be very useful. They are
made by taking the stock from the
blue grass pasture not later than the
middle Of June and allowing the grass
to grow untouched until winter. Given
a winter with but little snow and such
pasture will be much rehshed by all
young stock and horses particularly,
and then such treatment of the pasture
greatly strengthens the root system of
the grass and insures better growth
the following year. The plan is well
worth trying wherever a part of the
pasture can be spared for this purpose.

WaiIa Wa'Ia's Officer on Bridge Told
es Cangsr.
San Francisco, JSc. THE Exam.
iner says on the authority of Deputy
Coroner Skinner, of humboldt county,
that E. Johnson, one of the lookouts
on the wrecked steamer Walla Walla
told strange story under oath at Eu.
reka regarding the cause of the col.
lision with the French bark Max.
= According to the coroner, who took
the dispositions Of Captain Hall and
others of the officers and crew of the
Walla Walla rs to the accident. john
son testified that he saw the lights n
the French bark many minutes befd
her Prov sank into the Walla WaHc's
hull; that twice he warned the oui-
Ger or the bridge OF the app:occ hing
danger, but that his warnings were not
needed. .
AS TIE vessels neared each other the
red and green lsh.5 of the bark be-
came more and more distinct. accord
ing t, Johnson's testimony as report
cd by the coronar's deputy. At last
the lookout, alarmed at the failure of
the officer on the bridge to change his
course. stated for the cabin of the
first oticer, Peter N:lsen, but before he
reached the cabin the vessels had
struck and the Max drifted away with
her lights plainly visible. These asser-
tions are contradicted by the positive
statements Of the steamers officers,
who declare that a sharp lookout was
kept and that no warning was given
OF the danger.
The reports of Captain Hall, of the,
Walla Walla, and Captain Benoist, Oh
the Max, will be fled today with the
Inspector of hulls and boilers. A day
will then be set for the investigation
into the cause of the disaster.
