fresh eggs. we ordered them for break
fast. The eggs served the first morning
we could not eat. they were not spoiieo'

packed Eggs are. Those served the second
morning were no better. the writer
complained to the manager, who promptly
admitted that the eggs were not up 10 nv

fresh eggs at any price. With an eye TO
business we asked what he would pay LOT
strictly fresh eggs, and a sum was nance"
about 10 cents Il dozen more than we were
getting at our commission man. "A par
gain was promptly struck. and for th'ee
years now we have supplied TINS hote'
with all the eggs we could spare anu az

could be readily crowded out. So with
many other weeds. Tn plan Is not a new
one. but seems to nave been forgotten by
many farmers, judging from the letters
for advice sent TO this department. III
goes without saying that the summer pan
OF discriminating should be carried out
when possible. never letting the weeds go
to seed and thus. IN a large measure. keep
ing down the growth or at least the is
crease.
Keep Chicks Growing.
Whether the chickens are being raiseu
for the market or for winter layers it Is
essential that they make the best possible
growth from birth 10 going into winter
quarters or 70 tn market. The range, to
ii large extent. solves the question OF food
and Of healthy growth. but it is necessary
