Conserving Space.

S'S'"9 oPaCe.
In many of our poultry houses much
space is wasted by giving the roosts
monopoly of part of the house. It
is just as easy to place the roosts
over the nests and have a. dropping
board under the roosts as any other
way. Sometimes it is easy to have the
dust bath below the roosts and have
1t protected by the dropping board.
If the dropping board is made slanting
enough the droppings will mostly roll
down to the bottom of it and thus the
labor OF removing them will be re-
duced.
BY some such arrangement as this
the whole of the central space in the
poultry house may be given to the
scratching floor. I have found it nec-
essary to economic space as much as
possible, as l have a rather small
poultry house. Warren Wilson

The Age Of Eggs.

'tV age OF Eggs.
One OF the United States consuls
IN Germany tells of one method of
testing the freshness of eggs, as de-
scrlbed in German papers. The air
chamber is in the fiat end OF the egg
and enlarges as the egg grows old. this
being due to the evaporation of mois.
ture IN the egg. If the egg is placed
IN a saturated solution Of common
salt 1t will show an increased inclina-
tlon TO float with the long axis verti-
cal. A scale is attached to the vessel
containing the salt solution, so that
the inclination of the floating egg to-
ward the horizontal can be measured.
IN this way the age of an egg can be
determined almost to a day. A fresh
egg lies in horizontal position at the
bottom Of the vessel; an egg from
three to five days old shows an eleva.
tion OF the fiat end, so that it's long
axis forms an angle of 20 degrees,
With an egg eight days old the angle
increases to IS degrees; with an egg
fourteen days old to 60 degrees: and
with one three weeks old to IS de-
grees. An egg a month old floats ver-
tlcally upon it's pointed end. This of
course applies to eggs that have been
kept in the open air and not to pick
eled or otherwise preserved eggs. The
rule might not prove very reliable in a
moist climate, as the evaporation
would be less and thus the air space
would tend to enlarge less rapidly. We
assume that the rule really holds good
IN the German empire and in countries
with about the same degree of humid.

Seeding the Poultry Yard.

Seeding the Poultry Yard.
I f1nd that it is a little trouble to
seed the poultry yard, but that the
work pays for itself good many times
over. On the farm here we raise
good many kinds OF vegetables and
there are certain times in the season
when the fowls must be kept up for
weeks at time. This is when the
vegetables are small and also again
when the tomatoes get to the stage
when the fowls like to pick at them.
During the time the fowls have the
run OF the farm the poultry yard may
De kept closed to them and the seeds
that nave been planted in the yard
can be growing into plants for the use
OF the fowls later on. One year
started to seed rape as soon as we
couid give the hens the run of the
tarm after the first period of con-
nnement during the starting of the
sarden vegetables. In a few weeks
lne rape had developed good size, and
when the fowls had to be confined
later they had a pasturage that was
no1 only profitable to the owner of
the Hock but also very inviting to the
fowls.
How they did enjoy stripping the
tender LEAKAGE, leaving only the mid
veins and ribs of the leaves! In three
weeks you would think that they had
Killed the rape. But the time again
came when we could turn the fowls
out, and the fall rains again helped
the rape to take on new life. Each
bare vein in the plants sent out a
sheet of green, and soon the rape was
as t1ourishing as if the poultry had
never been near it. They had the use

have tried various kinds of plants
for poultry feed and find that next to
rape lettuce is best; but it is of slow
growth. Oats grow well and make
good pasturage, but the fowls will not
eat the oats when they can get rape
and lettuce or even young tender
green grass.-Estella Harper, Carroll

REVIEW OF BUSINESS YEAR
Progress and Prosperity i, All Depart
Hsnts Of Activity.
MULTITUDE or NEW RECORD MADE
Unprecedented Volume of Business
and Few FaiIures-New Guide
posts in Crops, Trade, In
dustry and Speculation.

Bradstreets' review OF the business year
presents an epitome Of progress and pros
petity in agriculture, trade, industry ana
speculation. Expansion was the rule in
every department of activity, with CORE
spending increase in returns and strikingly
small failure damage. an unprecedented
record considering the immense business
done and the number engaged therein. The
review continues.
The multitude OF records broken shows
that new guide posts have, indeed, been
set up. The revival which began in the
last half of 1894 far from spending its force,
as was often predicted in the early part
OF 1895. grew as the year advanced. True
there was a period of hestation-a breath
ing spell, as 1t were-in the spring of the
year, but this a pause to get clearer
view of ultimate crop yields and to enable
the business world 10 take new bearings.
Thenceforth the commercial, financial and
Industrial movement surged forward,
weather drawbacks and disclosures of flnan-
cial rottenness in high places falling to
stem the upward trend. Disregard Of prece-
dents was perhaps, best illustrated in the
persistent advance of securities, desrite
high money prices, and the tendency to dis
count prosperity was irresistible.

TAKAHAShI TALKS OF C0REA
Japanese Financial Commissioners
Says the Hermit Kingdom viii
Not He Absorbed.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3O.-That Japan in
tends to develop Corea and dominate its
foreign affairs, but does not intend to
make that country vassal or japanese
state was a statement made today by Ko-
rekiyo Takahashi, the Japanese financial
commissioner, who arrived here from Eu-
rope on his way to Toxic.
When Mr. Takahashi was asked whether
Corea will be made to pay any part of ia
pans debt, he said:
mo, we will develop Corea, but not tax
it. The question of Japanese protectorate
in Corea is misunderstood in this country.
Corea is a weak nation and needs protec-
ton. Japan has no intention of making it
a vassal or a state of the nation. But 1t
intends to dominate Coreas foreign rela-
lions to preserve the peace in the far east.
So long as it is otherwise Corea Is liable
TO become the prey OF other nations. To
work OF looking after Corea, but In no wise
is 1t intended TO interfere with it's internal
affairs"
"Will your country sell SaRhallen island
TO help pay off the debit" was asked.
Japan will not sell it's possessions" he
replied. 1T is too valuable in COAL oil
and mines, and Japan intends to develop
the property"
Mr. Takahashi said he had been instru-
mental in floating loans for Japan amount
ing TO $3.50 ,OIO, and that of that amount
the United States has taken $3.50 go ir
bonds.

1906 is likely to equal, if, indeed, 1t does
not surpass, the year drawing to a close.
The volume of orders booked ahead exceeds
any previous year in the country's history,

as are also shoes, cotton and wooden goods,
lumber, hardware and a myriad Of other
