Live Exxs For sale.

A new practice. OF selling live Eggs
which Is now receiving some ,atten-
ton In England Is mentioned by an ex-
change. II seems that when the Eggs
are about three or four days from the
Matching time they are packed very
warmly and shipped sometimes hun
dreds OF miles to those who buy theri.
When the eggs are thus far along In
incubation they are hard TO Kill by a
vantage Of In the method described.
The prices OF these eggs are somewhat
higher THEA those which are obtained
for the eggs that are untried as to their
fertility. for the risks that are run
when the trains are closely timed and
the eggs sent accordingly are small
One OF the best known dairy herds
in the east Is that at the New jersey
experiment station at New Brunswick,
says American Agricultural. During
the late fall and winter months the
herd Is turned in a three acre field
every morning when the weather is
fine. They are left there for two or
three hours and then put back in the
stable. 1t Is noticed that there Is a
slight falling of in the yield when the
animals go out In the winter even on
pleasant days, but 1t is thought that
the gain in the physical condition Of
the animals is more than enough to
counterbalance the small loss In milk
yield. Professor G.. b. Lane of the de-
partment OF agriculture at Washing
ton says that the feed that can be
used with profit at one time OF the
year may become too expensive to use
at another, or It may be best under
some circumstances to discard purchas-
ed feeds altogether and rely on those
grown at home.
The high price Of concentrated feeds
during the past few years has put
many dairymen on their mettle, and
AZ a consequence more home grown
stuffs are being fed than formerly.
These crops include timothy hay. alfai-
n. crimson clcssr. oats. peas. cow
peas and silage. The silo Is q neces-
stty on every dairy farm. II has large
