How to Make Green walnut Pickles.
The walnuts should be gathered when
tender enough to be pierced with nee

stand for three days; drain and cover
with fresh brine. At the end Of three
days drain and cover with fresh water;
stand for six hours; bring to boil a
gallon of vinegar into which you have
stirred cupful of sugar, two table,
spoonfuls each Of whole cloves and pep
percorns, tablespoonful Of allspice
and eight blades of mace; boil for ten

BAL FLAVORS IN EGGS.
They Are Caused by the Food the
Hens Eat and Change of RAJ
= ton Cures the Evil.

Farmers have known for years that
when onions were fed to hens they i'm
parted their flavor to the eggs. Now, an
experiment station has very carefully
proved it by a thorough trial, but they
claim that it required some Is days be-
fore they could detect the flavor. Their
onions or garlic must have been very
mild favored, or the hens were not very
hungry for them. When we learned it
by experience, throwing some partly de-
cayed onions into the henyard, 1t took
but a day or two to detect the flavor in
the egg, and in a week the egg had a
stronger flavor than a raw onion, says
the American Cultivator. But then we
had not learned to give the hens green
food during the winter, only as we had
it from the table waste, which was not a
large amount, just cabbage leaves, par
ings of roots and such material from a
small family. 1t does not take a week
to give a fishy flavor to eggs if hens are
fed freely on fish when hungry for ami
NAL food, and 1t is manifest all the
ooner if the fish is a little stale, and de-
caying meat, not sweet enough for table
use, will flavor eggs just as quickly as
it does milk when fed to COWS, and we
only wonder that the experiment sta
ton should have thought it was neces-
sary to prove it. Now, they only need
another experiment to prove what 9TH
ers have proved long ago. that decay
ing meat or fish, If fed to hens in suffi-
cient quantity, will cause rapid decay
of eggs, or of the flesh of the fowl, if
they are slaughtered within from one
to three days after it has been fed. And
yet the fowl while alive may seem none
the worse for 1t, and perhaps be none
the worse for it a week later II its use
is discontinued, as the bacteria that
cause rapid decay cannot work in the
living body, and will perish there In
about a week in a healthy animal. This
is our reason for Directing to the raw
cut bone and meat, SO much advocated
now. If fresh 1t is all right except in the
point of cost, but decay has usually be-
gun in it before the poultry keeper can
buy it, or he will buy enough to last
several days, and it has had time to
acquire a bad odor and flavor and the
germs of decay.

How Stock HeIns Loud

An instance was related to me the
other day of the value of stock raising
and it's incidental clover rotation in
building up the productive capacity of
the land. Before the perfection of the
Chicago cold storage beef industry large
herds of cattle were driven to the Wash
ington market from northern Virginia
farms. These farms were then models
of fertility. The rotation was wheat.
corn and clover, and little If any com
mercial fertilizer. was used. The beef
produced was Of the finest. When Chi
cage beef began to be shipped every
where these farmers did not find it so
profitable to raise steers and drive them
to Washington. They dropped off their
live stock growing, and in a few years
had to begin the use Of commercial fer
tilizer. These farm lands have since
steadily decreased in productive ca
pacity, until 0 most of them are
worn out and will not produce ~ BUSH

POULTRY YARD 7

A day Of neglect in the poultry
yard often leads to a month of care.
Remember that filth and lice cause
about all the diseases poultry is afflicted
with.
Get ready for the show season and
let the other fellows see what kind of a
breeder you are.
Early maturity is what makes winter
laying pullets. Force the pullets along
as rapidly as possible.
Lawn clippings stored where they
will dry in the shade are an excellent
substitute for vegetables in the winter.
If you have milk do not be afraid of
giving the hens too much of it. Butter
milk o. sour milk are as good as sweet.
Hens like to scratch for their feed,
bat if they must scratch for all they get
they will not have much time for lay
ng.
Some people prefer to keep focks of
mixed blood. They talk nicely about
their tlocks, but they will learn better
later.
The time to cure disease is Just be-
fore it appears. This can be done by
using plenty Of that best of medicine

M0RESNET REPUBLIC
European Gamblers Have Finally
Accomplished Its Downfall.
One of the Tiniest Countries of the
World and Has a Remarkable
History in Which Napoleon Fig
ured-Passes to Belgium.

According to a Berlin news dispatch
gamblers have accomplished the undo
ing of the little republic" of Mores-
net. Prussia has sold its interests 20
Belgium for a cash consideration. This
agreement was quickly reached when
it was learned that the little triangu-
lar bit of neutral territory which for
years has belonged to both govern
ments and has practically governed
itself, was to shelter a second Monte
Carlo. The German and Belgium pa
pers declare that the new gaming re
sort was already beginning to attract
distinguished persons, especially rich
young men from Cologne. 1t was as.
serted that gamblers from Liege had
secured the councilmen's consent to
erect a gambling pavilion by promising
to build electric railways to %neighbor.
ing towns and to maintain various
parks and public institutions.
In a word, the onicials OF Moresnet
have purchased a gold brick. They
have lost all they had. Moresnet will
hereafter be ruled by Belgian laws
alone without special privilege and the
gamblers will doubtless go elsewhere.
Moresnet, or rather Moresnet Neu'
trail, or the forgotten territory" has
a very unique history and is itself very
curious. Its area is 1000 acres; its
population about $500, and it's one and
only city is Kelmis. 1t is located in
one of the richest and most important
mining valleys of Europe. 1t is
reached by a branch from the railway
which connects Cologne and Verviers,
and is two miles only from another i'm
portant road. so that it cannot quite
be referred to as an out-of-the-way
nook. The name Kelmis was derived
from the metal calamine, called by the
inhabitants "kelme." This name is
mentioned in documents as early as
1414. For a long time the territory
was a part of the duchy of Limburg.
Called Galmerberg in 1888, its name
was again changed to Alien Galmei,
Berg upon the discovery of another
mine. This was contracted to Alien

All economic plants show a prefer
ence for certain soil and climatic con-
ditions, and none is more exacting in
this regard than the cranberry. While
it can be easily and successfully grown
on co~ngenial soils, it cannot be made
to return paying crops under adverse
conditions.
The conditions necessary for sue
cess in cranberry culture are soils Of a
peaty or alluvial nature, located at
high attitudes or in high ATTITUDES, and
provided with an ample and easily
available water supply and IN easily
accessible supply of sand. Repeated
failures have resulted from attempts
to establish cranberry plantations on
soils not %congenial to the plant. The
best index to the fitness of the soil for
this crop Is the occurrence of native
cranberry plants. Where the cram
berry is indigenous to the soil it is
safe to undertake the commercial Gull
tivation of the crop. The commercial
cranberry bog or meadow should COM
bine as many as possible of the ele-
ments which characterize the natural
habitat of the cranberry, with all pos
sible appliances for controlling adj
verse conditions. While the cranberry

you smiled, as you thought. You would
have been glad to get along with one spoon
and take turns in licking, but you were too
bashful for that. Still, you used to share
ticks when you thought the smiling lady
was not looking, and love went with them,

is best to change. Usually sheep canfol-
