A novel method for insurlng lhe
freshness of eggs has been adopted py
a dairymen's association in the vicinity
Of the city of Kehl, Germany. Inc
agents of this association go among the
farmers each day and purchase EGGS
the farmer guaranteeing that THESE
have been laid within the previous
+w~enty-four hours. In consequence OF
his guarantee the association pays the
farmer 3 pfennigs. or about half a cent
above the regular market price lof
each egg. The association then makes
a record of each purchase by giving
the farmer a registered number n
numbering each egg in a corresponding
| manner When a consumer han 10
| find a stale egg he returns 1t to the
dealer. who in turn charges it to the
association, which reports the matter to
the farmer. The method is a protection
to all parties concerned and is said to
meet with much success. The eggs are
delivered to the dealer in cases con-
tanning five dozen each. This unique
method will doubtless interest many OF
our readers, although we doubt if any
association would adopt the method in
this country.-Connecticut Farmer.

WANTS CANADIAN TRADE.
Germany Would Make Commercial
Treaty with Dominion.

London, Jan. 13.-The statement
that Germany is seeking a CONNER
cial agreement with Canada is con
frmed. 1t is announced unoficially,
but apparently authoritatively, that
the modus vivendi between Great Bril-
tain and Germany has been renewed
and that Germany has expressed a
desire for an arrangement by which
her commercial relations with Canada
can be assimilated with those OF the
rest of the British empire. A special
treaty will be necessary to effect this,
and Germany has asked Great Bri-
tain whether she shall negotiate with
her or directly with Canada.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
seed Corn win Be scarce.

While the corn crop of the country

seed corn a difficult matter. Frosts
have killed a great deal of corn TINS
fall before ripe enough for seed. n
makes the chances in favor of a very
limited supply of seed corn for next
years planting, and high prices VIII
probably prevail. The superiority II
home grown varieties over, those
brought in from farther south a
hardly be overestimated. The past sea-
son has demonstrated this so thorough
ly that in years to come home grow
seed corn will be at a premium.
Farmers who have well matured
fields of sweet corn should save 1t FOR
seed. 1t will find a good market II not
all needed on the farm.
The selection Of ears is a very sim
pie matter, yet it is very important IN
saving seed corn.
The Wisconsin experiment station IN
a recent timely bulletin recommends
the grower to go through the field WITH
a basket or bag and snap off the large
ears. These can be carried to the edgt
Of the field and drawn to the barns
The ears should not lie in piles, To-

= Il l
ton special to the Journal says:
The s'presidential' Hearst boom
(the adjective is quoted from a mem
berd Of the democratic national com
mittee) is responsible for the sudden
discrimination to take the democratic
national convention to st. Louis In
stead of holding it in Chicago. This
nossibilitv was referred to in these
dispatches, which told of a plan OF
Mr. Hearst to hold souphouse parades
with sandwich men carrying labor
union banners and his intention &c
pack the galleries and carry the con-
yention by yellow journalistic meth
DDS.
When this fact became known, dis
patches came from conservative CHI
.cago democrats saying they would
rather not have the convention held
there than that it should be subjected
to the dangers of this sort OF an at
tack. Then Mr.. Mccain, who ap-
peared in Washington as Mayor Harr1'
sons representative, let it be known
that he saw enough OF the Hearst
business here to convince him thai
there might be wisdom in taking the
convention to some city where Hears
had no newspaper and fewer soup
house organizations. National Con-
mitteeman Calm felt much the sam
way.
Conservatives Wake Up.
Conservative democrats realized TO

government elements in the demo'

course be taken to shake off the we
