to really make it almost out of business
reason to purchase for cold storage.
So far, cold storage stocks have not In
any way interfered with prices that have
been so very satisfactory to the growers
and shippers, but quite otherwise to the
consumer and cold-storage man. Last
winter the egg market was broken
through in the Importation of eggs from
Germany into New York. Prices were
so high that eggs were sent from the
Pacific coast east, and sold to better adj
vantage than could be done nearer home.
A cargo of eggs came from Germany, and
in one day prices dropped cents per dog
en-. What would we thing il Belgium
should compete with our own people for
the egg supply Of our large cities?
China has largely supplanted all other
countries in furnishing eggs for manu-
featuring art in the east. Any old eggs
will do for this. Imagine the celestial
farmer trained to care for and ship eggs
into cold storage, and hence into the mar
kets Of the world! "Chiness cheap eggs"
would then be the cry. This they can
and will do as soon as they are taught
that infertile eggs may be gathered and
kept successfully, no matter how warm
the weather Is. When they are taught
this and learn TO ship afar. they will
be in a position to send eggs and poultry
all over the world. They are expert
poultry growers. and China is originally
the home OF the yellow skinned Asiatics
the Brahma Cochin.

NOW you SHOULD GET EGGS.

From the Country Gentleman.
Now is the time when there should be
produced a full supply of fresh-laid eggs
II these are not forthcoming, little pro-
fit will be made from the egg yield for the
year Fresh laid eggs in winter are the
golden product of the hen
Each hen that produces one dozen eggs
per month during December. January and
February has earned from IS to 80 cents
a month"; according to the ability of the
seller.
One woman reports from central New
York, her ability to sell eggs during Oct
ober and November at cents apiece.
Her sixty hens have averaged almost two
dozen eggs a day, and the neighbors will
ingly pay this price for them fresh
from the nest. Fresh-laid eggs at all
times, are valuable product. They are
usually worth double the price in winter
that is paid for them in spring and early
summer To have full returns through
the egg basket, each and every hen kept
should lay three dozen eggs during the
three winter months.
To be profitable at the egg basket, each
hen must produce not less than ten
dozen eggs a year; three dozen of these
should be laid in the three spring months.
This leaves six months for the other
three dozen and the surplus. The more
you get from the hens during winter
and early spring, the greater will your
profit be. The profit comes from the
hens that lay the larger number of eggs
The average of the flock is governed by
the poor layers and the non-producers.
The average profit is governed by the
producer. Gull out the nom
producers and the poor layers; close up
the gap between the 150-egg hen through
culling; by so doing you cut down expen-
SEES and double the profit.
There is just enough time intervening
until Christmas in which to thoroughly
fatten the rest Of the turkey crop you
have to sell. Do not sell your best hens
keep them to produce the coming crop.
Fatten and sell only those you will not
need for producers next season. There
IS a general complaint throughout the
as to quality and quantity of the
poultry crop, turkeys included. Many say
I is the result of too close selling of the
stock last winter and spring to gain the
nigh prices paid at that time. Added to
this. the cold. wet spring of 1904 had so
cut down the poultry crop throughout as

Diversification Agencies.

But there is another thought that
comes In here, and that is the question
of who and what are the agencie- that
are bringing about these great results
There are several agencies, of course
that have helped in the work-the press
of the state, the officers of the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical college, with their
farmers institute work-though these
have not been able to do as much as
they would have been willing to do for
the want of funds. However, we are
glad this state is improving. The great
est agency In bringing about this de-
velopment of the country is the work
of the railroads, through their industrial
agricultural agents. Hon John Hamil-
ten, who is at the head Of the farmers
institute work in the United States. said
In our great agricultural convention held
in Washington, ID. c., that the railroads
would live to be the pioneers in this
work of spreading the gospel of diver
sification. This is true. and there ares
many reasons why it is true One of
the first is that the railroads can do the
work cheaper than any other agency.
Nowhere on our line do l find farmers
more anxious to learn or a class OF
farmers more appreciative, than are the
farmers of Alabama. 1t Is certainly
great pleasure to me to meet these farm
ers and try to do them all the good l can
In encouraging them to make the most
out of their lands and opportunities pos
sible | shall give you some more Of our
great meeting at Jasper.
Now in conclusion there is another
thought l want to recall here. Don't be
in a hurry to move away. Stop and
think twice before you conclude to leave
Alabama for any other country that you
have heard of 1 repeat here what l
have frequently said-there are opportu-
mites all along the Frisco from Birming-
ham to Memphis that can not be dupli-
Gated anywhere in this great country.

lege tend to confirm the conclusions
reached by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture that apples can be
kept in better condition at temperature
of thirty-one degrees. Fahrenheit than
at a higher temperature. Both agree that
a great advantage is gained by wrapping
each apple in paper and carefully packing
them in shallow one bushel boxes.
A near neighbor says of his recently
purchased forty-dollar disk plow that it
is a fine grubbing machine, as it cuts off
sassafras roots ane and a half inches
in diameter; also that 1t is a good sub
soiler, as 1t does not throw the subsoil
on top but leaves 1t where the next fur
row covers it. With the disk pillow he
says he can pillow as deep as ten inches
and not have the subsoil on top to bake
In the sun, as when the blowing Is done
with the common plow.
