Catherine and Packing Esos.


Eggs should be gathered every day
in summer and oftener in winter, un-
less the henhouse is warm enough so
that the eggs will not freeze and burst
the shell. Put the eggs into basket
with the small end down until ready to
pack in boxes for shipping, and keep
in cool room. Then pack in the box
with the cardboard separators, with
the small end down. They will keep
fresh longer if packed in this way than
if put into the boxes in haphaZard
manner. The reason for this is found
in the fact that the yolk cannot settle
to the shell when the small end is put
down and the air cannot strike the
yolk as long as it does not touch the
shell. When eggs bring a good price it
is better to sell the eggs than to raise
chickens to sell, for the profit is good
and there is not so great an outlay. By
all means raise chickens when eggs do
not bring very good price. Among
the most prolific layers will be found
the Black Spanish, the Black, White
and Brown Leghorns, Poland, Ham
burg, Creve Occur and La Fleche
which are larger than Black Spanish
but somewhat similar to them.-Ceeil

Rhinoceros Butts Train.

A collision recently occurred on
the Uganda railway, British East
Africa, that would be possible nowhere
else on earth. A huge bull rhinocer-
os rushed out of the bush and charged
at full speed the so-called "up-mix-
ed" train, which was slowing down as
1t approached the station Sultan
Hamond, 21S miles from Mombasa
The train was stopped, and the
"rhino" was discovered about 100
yards down the track. Slowly he re-
turned to the jungle, and was lost
TO sight. He did not escape unharm-
ed, for pieces of his thick skin were
found adhering to the train, but the
ferceness of his assault smashed the
engine step and splintered the inch
and-a-half footboard of the first car
riage.

Packing the Soil.

Thoughtlessness and over-anxiety to
plant early in the season has led many
farmers into the injurious practice of
plowing so early that the furrow slices
glisten in the sun and when a handful
Of the upturned soil can be compressed
in the palm of the hand like putty. In
this way very good clay uplands are
so badly injured in single season that
years of clover seeding are needed to
restore their friability and value for
cultivation. Trampling land by stock
in winter is a practice far too COM
mon. 1t is the custom of some farmers
to allow their stock to range over the
fields as soon as the latest crops are
gathered, and even during winter with
out regard to the condition OF the
ground, whether it is water-soaSed
or not. There is no practice more gen.
eral and none which destroys the very
life of the land more quickly than
packing clay soil when it is wet, con-
verting it into a cement-like substance
with its fertilizing elements rendered
almost wholly imperative. The graz
ing of animals in wet fields and plow-
ing when the ground is too wet are
practices almost universal among ten
ants, who are often careless and indif-
ferent if not ignorant as to the result
upon the land which is far more in
furious than excessive cropping with
out fertilizing which is quite common
throughout the western and southern
states. d. B. White, in the Epitomist.

UNPRoDUCTIvE FRUIT TREES.
N3r4"T.

UNPRODUCTIVE FRUIT TREES.
Great luxuriance in growth of fruit
trees is often the cause of unfrultful-
ness. No tree commences to flower
and fruit until its vegetative exubcr-
ance has been partially checked. Those
who understand the art of fruit cul-
ture thoroughly can bring these way
ward trees into bearing by root prun
ing them. This may be done by dig
gng a trench around the tree and then
filling it up with the earth that has
been thrown out. The cutting off the
ends of the roots causes check to the
extreme vigor, and the result is the
production of flowers instead OF
branches. The distance from the
trunk that the trench should he dug
will, of course, depend upon the age
and size of the tree. and also its ratio
of luxuriance; the aim should be to dig
so as to cut off about one-third of its
roots. Root pruning may be done at
any time during fall or winter.-E. B.
Rice, in The EpitOmist.

MIGHT HAVE SAVED 1T.
A Lot OF Trouble From Too Much Starch
Food.

A little boy of eight years whose
parents did not feed him on the right
kind of food, was always nervous and
suffered from a weak condition Of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and after
the operation the doctor, knowing that
his intestinal digestion was very weak,
put him on Grape-Nuts twice day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter, his Father states,
"He has grown to be strong, muscular,
and sleeps soundly, weighs 62 pounds,
and his whole system is in fine con-
dition of health" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
1t is plain that if he had been put on
Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in his
life, and kept from the use of foods
that he could not digest. he never
would have had appendicitis. That
disease is caused by undigested food
decaying in the stomach and bowels,
causing irritation and making for the
growth of all kinds of microbes, setting
up a diseased condition which is the
active cause of appendicitis, and this
is more marked with people who do not
properly digest white bread.
Grape-Nuts is made of the selected
parts of wheat and barley and by the
peculiar processes of the cooking at the
factory, all of the starch is turned into
sugar ready for immediate digestion
and the more perfect nc lrishment of
all parts Of the body, Articularly the
brain and nerve cent .es.
