Egg Is a Complete Food.

Like milk, an egg is complete food.
II fed on eggs alone, young animals
are furnished with all the necessary
elements for the growing of bone,
muscle, and all that goes to make d
perfect animal of its kind. A hen may
possibly lay 200 eggs a year. but ought
certainly to produce 12o. Eight eggs
will weigh a pound and 100 will weigh
a bout Is pounds. at the cost of about
one bushel of corn, worth on an average
about so cents. At this rate the eggs
cost, SD far as food is concerned, about
three and one-third cents pound, or
four aud 16 hundredths cents dozen.
They uEpally sell for II to IS cents
dozen, aud are better for food at that
price thS2 .neat.-Farm and Firesloe.

LIVE STOCK POINTERS.

The Maltese milk goat is the --latest
candidate as a money maker.
Breeding pigs should be fed largely
on a vegetable and bulky diet rather
than on concentrated grain diet.
1t is said that grain ration that is
suited for cow serves very well for
hens, supplemented, of course, with
grit, oyster shells, bones, etc.
Where animals have not had free ac-
cess to salt. it is best to work them
up to it gradually, as they are apt to
overeat and produce securing.
"Contentment is fat" and every lit
tie thing that adds to the comfort of
the steer or makes him more contented
increases the gains which he makes
from each bushel of grain.

This nice bit of ethics was lost on
Luther Ben. He had his own doubts as
to the eminent probability of cut

down in the basket unmoved.
"See dat po' empty basket; will

''Why. Black Auntie, faint empty

Black Auntie's plump form squeezed
through the widened crack and de-
seconded upon-the empty chip basket!
The Keep twins crowed' in chorus from
the safe vantage of the high tool bench
But Black Auntie did not fill her bas-
ket alone.
"Dar now, you come long in an get

when the work was done. ''Yo' mann

Portraits on Tombstone

Marble dealers are taking a keen
interest in an enterprise, which had
it's origin in Denmark, for reproducing
the pictures of dead persons on their
tombstones. They say that it is very
probable that the movement will
spread to America in a short time.
The e-on-the-tom bstone craze
started among the Danes as a result of
the use of artificial marble. A Danish
master builder succeeded in producing
a stone of such delicate tints that it
was impossible to distinguish it from
the natural product. The imitation
of the more expensive species was
found to cost far less than the natural,
and is made in any form desired-col-
umns, plain or fluted, and capitals-as
readily as fat slabs. The durability is
said to be as great as that of the gen
uine marble. 1t was found that it
was possible to reproduce, by carving,
a picture of the deceased person, in
the imitation marble, much easier and
far cheaper than the work could be
done with the genuine article.-Phila-
delphia Inquirer.

Nobody Wants Belgian Hares.

Belgian hares are good to eat, but
Americans do not seem to care for
them enough to create a demand that
is at all regular. They were doomed
until the Belgian hair craze became of
large dimensions and then the demand
died out almost completely. The
trouble was not so much in the hare
as in the claims that were made for it.
When the truth became known hun
dreds of breeders became so Disguised
that they ceased to breed them and
began to declare them good for moth
ing, going to the other extreme. This
caused a revulsion OF feeling, and now
the little animals can hardly find
friend anywhere, although they GER
tainly have merit as a source from
which very good meat at a very low
cost may be procured.-Commercial

VALUE OF FERTILIZERS.
NatUI> Demands n Return for What
She Yields and the Farmer
Must Supply 1t.

Everything in the vegetable line
draws its sustenance directly from the
soil. In it's most nutritious stage each
plant contains the most valuable of the
elements of soil fertility it is capa bic
of consuming. Were farm crops re-
moved from the soil and no equivalent
return of the fertilizing elements
smade, the farm must suffer thereby.
On the ordinary farm, however, such
a condition of affairs is rarely neces-
sary, as there is usually enough stock
TO furnish an abundance of manure,
which, if properly managed, will more
than supply the deficiency. Those who
find the supply of barnyard fertilizer
insufficient or inadequate to meet the
demands of the soil resort to the Ie-
gumes with most gratifying results.
There is scarcely portion of the
country where some of the legumes
will not thrive and improve the soil.
They furnish the most expensive ele-
ment of fertility, nitrogen, at the low
est possible cost. When turned I'M
der green, they render the soil rich in
humus and available plant food.
Strange as it may seem, the value of
most fertilizers as plant food is not the
only value they have in their relation
to plant life. The moisture they gath
err from the air adds greatly to their
worth in dry weather. The nitrates
possess the property of taking water
freely from the air, as do the salts of
potash, gypsum, etc. Plants must have
food and drink-availa BILE food and
water, within their reach. A farm left
to deteriorate in fertility cannot raise
crops to maintain the number of lives
that well-kept, highly fortified farm
can. Nature demands return for
what she yields,-C. 3. Bartlett, in Epi-
tomist.
