Keen Eggs Pnre.

Very few people realize how sensi-
tive the egg is to bad odors, and many
even think that the shell is a suffi-
cient protection against any contamina-
ton from without. But the shell is
porous and the albumen, or white of
the egg, quickly absorbs and holds
the flavor to any bad odor to which
it is exposed. as it also does any
bad flavor in the food given. A writer
in Farmers Monthly says that it is
scarcely less susceptible in this re-
spect than the milk products. AS the
hen seems to be almost devoid of the
sense of taste, care should be taken
to give her only well-ffavored food,
and the feeding of partially decayed
meat or fish, onions and other smelling
food should never be allowed when
hens are laying. But care also needs
to be taken to have the nests clean
and sweet, and never to put the eggs
where they will be tainted by Goldfish,
kerosene or anything else. If it is
found necessary to use kerosene on
the nests do it at night, that the odor
may evaporate before the hens use
them. But a better way is to get clean
boxes from the grocer when the old
ones get so that they need to be
kerosened. Eggs packed in new pine
boxes when sent to market often &C
quire a flavor of turpentine that GER
tainly does not improve their taste.

| so that every bit of the fertiliZing

say over and over again that plenty
of sunshine must be provided. With
plenty of sunshine a dry, warm pen
and a we'll balanced ration, there is
little difficulty in keeping the pig in
a healthy condition. The brood sow
the warm season. Her feed should be
of a coarse nature. She should dot
be allowed to become over fat, or, on
the other hand, should she be kept
too short. Her ration should be fair
ly liberal and she should be kept in
good health. Under such conditions
she will bear two filters of pigs each
year. Those sows that show themselves
to be the best mothers should be kept
for some years. After being removed
from their mother the young pigs
should have their milk fed to them
warm and sweet, and at intervals.
Regularity is an important point in
the care and feeding OF swine as we'll
as of other animals. In connection
with milk a handful of corn,-after a
little while put some cornmeal in the
milk. This should be gradually in
creased up to market time. There will
not be any distinct fattening period
under this system of feeding. Corn
meal is better grain feed in con-
nection with skim milk than middlings
or flour. The practice of feeding the
small pig with skim-milk alone is not
economy. The pig needs a balance ra-
ton in order to do best. Vegetables.
roots or pumpkins aid digestion and
it will always pay to feed few each
day. Pigs should never be overfed
Keep them growing and fattening un-
til ten to twelve months old, when
they should weigh from 275 to $50

You want a good garden next year?
Then begin now preparing for it. Soil
should be worked only when pliable-
dry enough to crumble-but sometimes
it is so in winter. When it is in such
state, dig or trench it and in every
practicable way add to its fer
tility. If done in the late fall, or early
winter, this will liberate elements
needed to build UP plant structure.

-one Of the professors of the I'm

One of the professors Of the Uni
versity of Toronto, in the interest Of
commercial science, explored last sum-
mer the Sudbury nickel deposits in
the Province of Ontario, and reports
that they surpass in quantity any
other similar deposits in the world.
They cover an area of forty miles in
length, by twenty miles in breadth.
Some of the ore yields 5 per cent. of
metal, but the average is only 81 per
cent, being not so rich as that of the
New Caledonia mines. The deposits
are, however, of great commercial inn
portance, for the invention of nickel
steel, among other things, has recently
increased the demand for nickel.

Brooks wreck Dangerous.

DEOOAS dangerous
A dispatch from Beaufort states
that the spars are still standing in the
schooner Joseph w. Brooks, which
was wrecked during a heavy blow in
the early part of the week off Look
out shoals. The cargo of heavy tim
Der, which the schooner carried from
this port. is adrift for miles around,
and is very dangerous to navigation.
Information was received from
Brunswick yesterday that Capt. Pen
dleton of the schooner Sarah C. Ropes,
Tuesday, is now busily engaged in I'M
loading his cargo on to small boats.
1t will take several weeks to unload
the schooner. and she will then be
abandoned. 1t is thought that much
of the machinery will be saved.
Capt. Magum of the schooner Edgar
w. Murdoch. which has been loaded
for nearly a week, expects to sail to-
day. He has been held up on account
of the unfavorable weather. The Muir
dock will carrX $4,000 ties to Philadel-
phia. Capt. Magum will return TO
Savannah in a few weeks for another
cargo of ties.

A good plot, clever incident and
swift movement are the elements which
unite to bring Oppenheim's stories be-
yond the mark of mediocritv. The
writer has the trick of Turing the
reader on from chapter to chapter just
out OF sheer curiosity. so telling is the
denouement set forth in the very last
paragraphs of each. A face pressed at
the window, a blow struck out OF the
darkness. revelation Of plot trembling

by each succeeding development of the

to do with the fortunes Of a young
college graduate who is made secretary
to the committee of national defense
in England at a time when martial
preparations on the part of France
boded war and the whole kingdom was
astew over the fear Of invasion. His
post Is necessarily one requiring alb
solute integrity and secrecy. So elab-
crate are the provisions against the
revelation of their plans by the MEM

and passed from hand to hand. De-

A Farm
Under Grim Shadow

ITO take the quarrel of the Mon
tagues and the Capulets. advance
= IT some centuries set the story in
bleak Dartmoor. rehabilitate the
shades of Romeo and Juliet in the
leshly garments of a London poet and
country lass, introduce a little of
the madness Of Ophelia, a dash Of Lear
and close the whole with the stereo-
typed tragic climax of the poisoned
cup-to do this Eden Phillpotts wrote
his last story. THE Farm Of the
Dagger"
Moss-grown ruins somewhere under
the shadow Of bleak "tor," with gray
wastes stretching from sea to horizon
and a general air Of eerie prevailing
all; this Is the inspiration of inspira-
tons for Mr.. Phillpotts. It suggests
grisly story. 1t is heavy with dark
significance. 1t breathes baleful fumes
Of prophecy such as steam from the
witches pot on blasted heath. Once
Mr.. Phillpotts shifts this fiction
wrath Of Dartmoor he is off again
and soon another story Of the downs
swells the list of his writings. This
last The Farm of the Dagger" as in
timated in the foregoing, seems to be
Shakespeare set to the Darts proscen-
ium. The plot Is old as the everlasting
hills, only the flies and drops are novel.
A relentless feud exists between
Farmer John Newcombe and Farmer
Roger Honeywell. Farmer Newcombe's
oI, o. IL
in love with Farmer HoneywelPs
incoming nephew, Quinton. a very
young poet. OF course, Farmer New
combe would rather slay his daugh-
ter with his own hand than have her
wed a Honeywell and Farmer Honey
well Is confirmed in like sanguinary
resolve concerning his nephew. Re-
suit is that the beautiful Eve is shut
up behind iron bars on diet of bread
and water and Quinton, the poet,
smuggled on a ship bound for the
American main to fight YankeesEthe
war of 1912 being in progress at the
time. Wicked old Honeywell tells Eve
that her lover is dead and she promptly
attempts suicide, only to be saved
in body, but with reason fed. Then
this same old sly Honeywell mourns
with his nephew over the lamented
death of Eve. reported by him to his
heir across the Atlantic, and the lover
tries his best to get shot. Comes
finally Farmer Newcombe with a
foaming hagon of poisoned cider and
both Honeywell and Newcombe leave
the story in spasms.
This Is the reason why Dagger
Farm. to-day bat-haunted ruin in
the shadow of Bellaford Tor. is said to
be q ghost walk and a place where
the mad are heard to gibber In the
dark of the moon. This Is why Mr.
Phillpotts wrote "The Farm Of the
Dagger" 1t will add nothing to Mr.
Phillpotts' reputation: it will detract
from 1t nothing. This is just one OF
those neutral books that might better
not have been written, may be. but
being written, do no great harm.
