CONSUMERS AND FRESH EGGS
Beget Confidence In the Freshness
Of Your Offerings, and q Good
Market is Assured.

Fresh eggs sell at all seasons and in
all markets. Cold-storage eggs, or
those that are picked in brine or lime.
do not interfere with the prices OF
strictly fresh eggs. Consumers, how
ever, do not always know where to buy
the best, and many of them, in order to
procure strictly fresh eggs, are salts
fed when they can get them from
some "old farmer" But even the "old
farmer" is not always wiser than the
customer, allowing for producing them
himself with the aid Of the hens, as
some ''old farmers" buy eggs, or bring
them to market for their neighbors.
There is a great deal of faith" in
buying eggs, and much depends on
confidence" and from whom they are
purchased. When, the markets are
we'll supplied, the .east desirable goods
brings very low prices. 1t is then that
the poultrymen ventiiates his opinion
of the commission merchant, and
charges him with many sins that
should be laid at the door Of the poul-
tryman himself. If everything sold
in the market depended on quality,
much light would be thrown on the
business of buying and selling. The
farmer has many advantages, how
ever, if he only will use them. II he
had reputation as one who made
| practice of selling choice poultry and
| eggs. he would soon find the commits
sion merchants seeking his articles,
and they would compete with each
other in the endeayor to secure his
trade. 1t would require some extra
time and labor for the farmer to e.
tablish this reputation, but that is nc
more than is required OF men engaged
lin any other industry. Make a repu
tation, however, and it viii last FOL
life. or as long as the farmer main
tains It. Prices can he kept up b,
quality. and if the merchant quotes
one price, the farmer can demand
more. There are always two in bar
gain, and the one who has the advan
take will dictate the price. The mer
chants who sell eggs know that tn
customers are willing to pay extr
prices for fresh eggs. and that the
I frequently judge of the quality OF egg
by the prices asked; the merchants
also, when fresh eggs are scarce. some
times select the best on hand, and al
from two to five cents on the price.
! they did not do SO, the customer woui
not buy them. This shows that I'd
customers are willing to pay somethin
extra for a good article, and they WI

AN INVITING PROSPECT.

Will Canada in the next quarter Of q
century take the place Of the United
States as the great wheat exporting
section Of the western hemisphere
Everything points that way. In the
opinion of experts the United States has
reached high water mark as a wheat
exporting country. The increasing
population over there has reached the
point when home consumption is be-
coming annually greater in proportion
than the increase in wheat production.
As a matter Of fact wheat production
Is decreasing over there as the land be-
comes more valuable and by reason of
the demand for other forms of produce
for home consumption. 1t is said that
the wheat crop this year is not more
than 20 per cent. of the crop of 1901
md much below the crops of 1902 and
1903. 1t is estimated that this year
the United States surplus for export will
not be over 100,000,000 which Is less
than any year since 1873 with two ex-
ceptions. Not only Is this the case, but
considerable quantity of the best Cans
adam wheat is being imported INTO Mlnf
nesota and also Chicago.
All this tends to keep the price OF
wheat near the dollar mark, and dol
lar wheat" is the loadstone that will at
tract farmers to the Canadian North

farmed on q wholesale basis, particular
Of which may be had from any agent

duction of American exports will have
the double influence Of increasing Can
sdian production and keeping up thu
price. 1t constitutes roseate prospec
for this country, and needs no exercise
of optimistic enthusiasm to foresee thu
near expansion Of the Dominion init
the actual position OF the "granary o

FIVE REASONS FOR DEATH.
Omaha Man Does Not Succeed in End.

Omaha. Neb., April 29.-After crawling
INTO a box ear i'll a remote portion of the
Union Pacific yards, John Jones saturated
a towel with chloroform and attempted TO
end his life.
Commissions. ~superinduced by the drug.
caused him to Yell with pain, attracting
the attention of yard men to him. The
police ambulance was called and Jones.
more dead than alive, was taken to police
headquarters.
DR.. Arnold succeeded in bringing him
out of danger. Jones acknowledges that
he did not give his light name and did
not expect to. He said he had five rea-
sons for wishing TO die, the main being
that the only work he could secure was
ditch digging at 10 cents an hour.
His sweetheart, too, had Tilted him and
gone west with a rival sutton for her
hand. The third reason was that he want
ed to kill his rival, but had not sufficient
funds with which to hunt him up.
Another one was that his father and
mother were both dead, and he found him
self an orphan at 30 years of age. Sum-
ming up the whole for Il fifth reason. he
concluded he did not want TO live any
how.
In the surgeons room he begged some
one to kill him. An emDt revolver was
handed him ana he placed it to his temple
and repeatedly pulled the trigger and
seemed greatly disappointed because there
We're no cartridges in the cylinders.
Jones declares that he intends killing
himself as soCn as released from Jail.
