Marketing the Eggs.

Eggs should be gathered every day
in summer and oftener in winter, un-
less the hen house Is warm enough
SO that the eggs will not freeze and
burst the shell. Put the eggs into a
basket with the small end down until
ready to PACK in boxes for shipping
and keep In a cool room. Then pack in
the box with the cardboard separa-
tors, with the small end down. They
will keep fresh longer If packed in this
way than If put into the boxes in a
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 10 not
30 great an outlay. By all means raise
chickens when eggs do not bring a
very good price. Among the most pro-
life layers will be found the Black
Spanish, the Black, White and Brown
Leghorns, Poland, Hamburg, Creve
Occur and La Fleche, which are larger
than Black Spanish, but somewhat
similar to them.-Epitomist.

Cleft Grating.

Varieties of grating are many, but
cleft grating represents the method
commonly In use for the grating of
orchard trees where the old top is to
be removed during the course of a
few years and a new one Is to be
grown in its place. The ideal time for
this top grating Is wnen the leaves
are just pushing out, for then the

The Indiana farmer that has been
swindled by the fruit tree agent will
be pleased with the law, enacted by
the last General Assembly, providing
a fine Of from $50 to $500 for fruit
tree fraud. It Is said that the bill
which was introduced by Representa-.
tive Shively, Of South Bend. grew out
of Notre Dame University's purchase
of trees that were not what they were
represented to be. As introduced, the
bill provided a years imprisonment,
but this was stricken out.

Sheep Shearin9s.

Sheep Shcarin2o.
Sheep are more economical meat
producers than steers.
To secure the best returns in feed
ing have the sheep as even as possible.
When breeding to improve ewes
should be two years old when bred.
The more sheep you can keep and
keep right the less per sheep will the
cost be.
Under ordinary conditions the man.
ure from sheep should pay for the Ia
Dor of caring for them.
A good foot rot medicine must be
somewhat caustic, in liquid form and
cheap enough to use freely.
sheep cannot be fattened probably
when they are full of parasites. Kill
the vermin and then fatten.
If the best profit is realized, not
only the wool, but the mutton and the
lamb, must contribute their part.
1t will pay, If you intend to sell
your sheep at public sale, to have
some one grade them up in even lots.

INVITING wAR.-The st. Joseph
News and Press calls attention to the
following editorial which appeared In
the New York Sun some twelve years
ago:
IF we could manage to PICK
fight with some nation that would not
be contemplate as an antagonist the
material benefit to the country would
be enormous. Patriotic feeling would
be promoted. the commercial spirit
would no longer be so distinctly in the
ascendant, foreign immigrants would
Be- entirely absorbed by fighting with
a common enemy. The only things
aeainst war are that We can not find
an enemy big enough for us, willing 10
fight. and that there would be big
bill to bay, including pension"
This is, view Of war that Is like
" to grow with a large navy. Those
who lean ITO great armaments are
inclined to- measure patriotism by
serving upon the battlefield, while
those who believe in peace measure
patriotism by "a rule that gives credit
for helpful service, in behalf Of ones
country and ones fellows.-The Com
moner.

"Good luck and adieu!" said she,
with q fine flourish Of her whip; those
people had always a pretty politeness
Of manner.
"Adieu," I said, lifting my hat as I
rode OF, with a prick Of the spur, for
the road was long and had lost quite
half an hour.
My elation gave way to sober thought
presently. I began to think Of Louise
that quiet, frank, noble, beautiful,
great-hearted girl, who might be
suffering what trouble knew not, and
all silently, there in her prison home.
A sadness grew in me. and then I sud-
denly saw the shadow of great trouble.
I loved them both; knew not which l
loved the better. Yet this interview
had almost committed me to Louison.

TANNING A TIGER.
The Way Snowman Got Friendly
With a Fierce Beast.

O
With a Fierce Beast.
A zoologist thus describes how an
attendant brought about friendly rela-
tions with a fierce tiger:
There was a. Snowman l used TO
know named Melchior He once bought
a magnificent Bengal tiger. which ne
got at low price because 1t had al
ready killed two men.
AT first Melchior would put his foot
or his hand into his cage, but from
the way the tiger would leap at him
he knew that to put himself entirely
in it's power would be suicide. Nothing
he could do would establish friendly
relationship between himself and the
tiger.
Some originality was needed, and
Melchior showed it by taking some
old clothes, stuffing them with rags
and throwing them into the cage. The
tiger in a jiffy tore the old clothes to
pieces, thinking that the figure was
human being.
Next day and the next day and the
next Melchior continued to throw In
to the tiger stuffed figures, and the
tiger continued to destroy them. But
as time passed the animal ceased To
put heart into its work and In the
end 1t gave up altogether these attacks
on the scarecrows. 1t would just play
with them or else not notice them al
all.
Now was Melchior's time. He open
ed the cage door one morning, walked
in boldly and slapped the tiger fam'l'
iarly on the back. 1t gave him
friendly look and purred. 1t took him
for another mannikin not worth both
ering about. 1t lived seven years
with Melchoir and became as gents
as a kitten

URGED RUSSIANS TO GIVE UP.
Japanese at Port Arthur Fired Letters
as Well az Shells.

as Well az Shells.
That the Japanese seiidai-fs Desieging
hRpft Afthur sought from time to time
to induce the Russians to surrender.
in order to prevent as much as possible
unnecessary sacrifice of life and to
save the Russians from unnecessary
privations, is made plain by the fol-
lowing story told by correspondent
Of the Osaka Asahi:
In the early part Of October last the
Japanese occupied an outpost or
Russian fort on the northern slope OF
the East Kikwan mountain. Now that
the opposing forces were brought very
near to each other the japanese gen.
erals in charge thought Of hundred
and one plans to induce the individual
Russian soldiers to surrender. Final
ly they arrived at an ingenious device
Miyagoshi Jusaku was Russian
Japanese interpreter in the service OF
the Japanese army. He could write
In Russian very nicely. So he wrote
the following letter, which was fasten-
ed to an arrow and was sent with the
latter by a skilful archer, who exert
ed all the strength of his arms In
bending the bow:
1.-The Russian Soldiers:
"Gentlemen: Isn't it very cold? We
are now weary and bored every day.
We believe 1t Is the same with you.
You must be tired Of this long war.
Your wives and children, we presume
are worrying about you. We sympa-
thize with you.
You must be wanting food. Why
wouldn't you surrender? If you do'
we will give you warm food. We Will
do you no harm, but offer you all the
comforts to your satisfaction.
IF you wish to communicate with
your home. fasten your letters to
us. We will forward them for you.
AT Mukden. Kuropatkin has been
defeated again. There Is no certainty
in reference to the coming Of the Bal
tic fleet. Port Arthur Is doomed TO
fall.
"Those of you who surrender soon
will be happy, but those who hesitate
will meet a horrible fate. We request
of you to take our words as from your
God who protects your wives and chill
dren.
IF you are willing to accept our or
fer, we will make all the necessary ar
rangements for your suryender-steal
the eye Of your superior officers aban-
don your weapons and come. During
the daytime, come waving your hand
kerchiefs. At nights, come saying
aloud Anata' (Sir).
I'VE pray for your health. lGood-py.
The effect Of the missive was soon
seen. Three Russian fugitiveS came
in front of the East Kikwan MOUNTAIN.
While two of them were unfortunately
shot before their actions indNated
their pacific intention. the third scS-
| ceeded In his attempt.
He was a sergeant Of artillery at the
fort. Upon investigation, 1t was
found that he had made up his mind
to surrender after he read the arrow
missive.
This method was repeated often,
with various success.

HOPE FOR COTTON.
ID ndications That Southern Farmers

Indications That Southern Farmers
Have Only to Stand Pat.
The following report from United
States Consul Smythe at Tunstall,
England, was given out In Wash
ington last Thursday by the depart
ment Of commerce and labor, dated
December Is, 1904.
"It was my intention to cable you
today in reference to reports that ap-
peared In last nights papers concern
ing the condition Of the Egyptian cot
ton crop. with relation to the position
of our cotton planters Of the south, but
concluded q mail dispatch would ac-
complish my purpose just as well.
These reports are very discouraging,
inasmuch as they foreshadow short
age in next years crop Of the class of
staple that comes into competition
with American cotton. For this reason
I do not hesitate to say 1t would be
advisable to warn the southern plant
ers against any move on the part OF
Lancashire manufacturers to force the
sale Of cotton at low prices in order to
meet the requirements Of such de-
ficiency.
i"The general opinion in Lancashire
is that a plentiful supply of American
cotton can be had on q 10-cent basis.
Combinations are being formed to hold
the price at this notch. II possible, and
these combinations intend to operate
through agents sent specially to Loui-
siana and all the cotton producing CEN
ters Of the south. The troubles among
the cotton manufacturers Of the East
are expected to aid in the development
Of this scheme as they are calculated
to have depressing effect on the
home market In their relation to sup
ply and demand.
my candid opinion Is that an euor-
nous amount Of money can be saved
to our planters by taking this matter
up in time. and invoking the assistance
of the banks or the national treasury,
II such an arrangement can be n1u'le,
to enable the planters to warehouse
their cotton until the present stocks
are worked up on this side, and the
necessities Of the manufacturers compel
them to break. or make liberal terms
with the growers.
"The erection of new mills In Lam
cashire, and the effect which their COLI
sumption Is likely to have on The
market next year, lends additional in
terest to this subject and serves to en-
phasize the views have taken the
liberty to present in this dispatch. FIJI
teen-cent cotton, or even 12:cent cot

CHAPTER XVI.

We got our bearings, a pair OF boots
for D'ri, and hearty meal in the cabin
of a settler. The good man was unfa-
miliar with the upper shore, and we
got no help in our mystery. Starting
west. in the woods, on our way to the
harbor, we stopped here and there to
listen, but heard only wood-thrush and
partridge-the fife and drum OF nature.
That other music had gone out Of
hearing. We had no compass, but Dri
knew the forest as crow knows the
air. He knew the language OF the
trees and the brooks. The feel OF the
bark and what he called 1.-The lean OF
the timber" told him which way was
south. River and stream had way
of telling him whence they had come
and where they were going, but he had
no understanding Of map. | remem-
ber., after we had come to the harbor
at dusk and told our story, the gen.
eral asked him to indicate our landing
place and our journey home on big
map at headquarters. D'ri studied the
map a brief while. There was look
of embarrassment on his sober face.
"seems so we come ashore bout
here" said he, dropping the middle
finger of his right hand in the vicin-
ity of Quebec. Then we Travelled
aw-a-a-ay hellwards over n this ere

mark he had slid his finger over some

DON'T BE ENvIoUs.-The men or

to be able to dress well and to enjoy
the pleasures of life little more than
those who are compelled to work con-
tinually will be miserable all their
days, for, no matter how high they
may get, they will find others still
higher. The envious person Is never
satisfied and never can be. Take the
successful men of the city, and you
will find that the majority Of them be-
gan Just where you did. Then why
are you not in equally good circun-
stances? II you ran a race with a
man and lost 1t, you would hardly
blame your failure on the race course.
You started even and ran together.
and you lost because you couldn't run
as fast as he or lacked the power OF
endurance. So your failure In the
race of life is not due to the rack,
but to your lack Of ability as a runner.
