Fond YaIue of ErCS.

Popular belief to the contrary, there
is no difference in the nutritive quail
ties Of eggs with dark shells and those
with light. Their flavor is affected by
the food Of the fowl for good or for
evil. Exhaustive experiments by well
equipped Investigators prove that the
egg deserves it's reputation as an
easily assimilated and highly nutri-
tious food, if eaten raw or lightly
cooked. Such experiments also show
that eggs at twelve cents a dozen are
a cheap source of nutrients; at Six
teen cents, somewhat expensive, and
at twenty-five cents and over, highly
extravagant.
The basis of comparison was the
market prices of standard flesh foods
considered in relation to their nutri-
tive elements. But there is a physio-
logical constituent of eggs which is of
great value, yet it defies the search of
the scientist or the inquisition of the
statistician, and that is their palata-
bility. Unless a food, however rich in
proteins, is relished, it loses much of
its value, while, per contra, less
chemically desirable food that is en-.
joyed becomes valuable by reason of
that fact.

He Vas IncOrruptabIe.

In the opening days Of the American
Revolution, when France had recog-
nized the independence of the United
States, and we had shown ourselves
determined upon stubborn resistance,
the English Parliament were driven to
final "conciliatory bilr' for the re-
covery Of their colonial possessions.
Most everything was conceded by this
act, but nowhere was allusion made
to absolute independence. Lord Car
Isle, William Edsen and Gov. john
stone, in the capacity of special COM
missioners, brough the bill to America
and lost little time submitting the plan
Of Cancellation to Congress, together
with an insolent letter. That body
hardly gave it consideration, but forth
with rejected the plan proposed by
the ministry.
Fooled in every attempt, but not dis
mayed, the commissioners now re-
sorted to measures distinguished in
infamy and baseness. They opened
secret correspondence with members
of Congress, and, through q female
agent, Mr.. Reed, a delegate from
Pennsylvania, was offered $4,000 ana
the best office in the colonies that his
majesty could bestow if he would use
his influence in favor of the concilia-
tory bill. Mr. Reeds reply, as well as
memory, should be enshrined in the
hearts of every loyal Pennsylvania.
1t was simply this: II am not worth
purchasing, but such as | am, the
King of England is not rich enough to
do it."

probably an equal footing, the one the
tyrant Of the air and the other the
king of game birds. Both were hunt
ed by the Indian, the eagle to furnish
plumes for his war bonnet, and the
turkey, Of course, for food.
But now the eagle seldom Is hunted
and still more seldom ever killed or
captured, while the turkey is found
in hundreds Of thousands Of farm
yards.
Although the North American wild
turkey is a beautiful and respondent
game bird. with feathers of black,
shaded with a rich bronze and illumi-
mated with a lustrous finish Of coppery
color, his domesticated cousin, while
improved nothing in appearance, has
been bred up to outweigh any other
domestic fowl, thirty or thirty-fve
pounds being not uncommon among
prize turkey fiocks.
According to the Department OF
Agriculture the growing Of turkeys
has improved within the last few
years as q result Of determined effort
on the part of producers of what is
termed standard bred or exhibition"
stock to demonstrate that it is more
profitable to use pure bred breeding
stock than the smaller and less vigor-
Gus stock Of days gone by. Their
efforts to introduce throughout the
country the several standard varie-
ties Of turkeys have greatly improved
our turkey growing industry. This
effort has supplied rich new, vigorous
blood throughout the whole country,
adding strength and virility to in
Vulnerable flocks many of which had
become considerably deteriorated
through inbreeding.
Deterioration Through Inbreeding.
The fact that one formulation is
sufficient to render fertile all the eggs
Of one laying has made possible the
undermining Of the health and vigor
of the present-day domestic turkey.
Being advised of this, hundreds of
people depend upon their neighbors'
focks for the services of male and
pay no attention to the matter of
breeding stock except to keep one or
two turkey hens. This has reduced
many Of the turkeys throughout the
country almost to a condition Of i'm
becility. The lack of vigor in a large
portion Of the breeding stock through

the English Norfolk turkey, tho Slate
turkey, and the red Bourbon turkey,
which is similar to the Buff turkey In
addition to the North American wild
turkey, the Mexican wild turkey still
affords splendid sport, as does also the
Honduras turkey, which is found in
various parts of Central America, both
birds being respondent and of savory
flesh.
The turkey bulletin of the Depart
ment of Agriculture above mentioned
is a brief booklet which will certainly
be read with interest by anyone grow
ing or caring for turkeys. 1t describes
the different varities, and devOtes fif-
teen or twenty pages to the selection
and care of breeding stock, turkey

ing, growing and feeding the birds,

cinnat have been going about with
traces Of tears on their cheeks, and
asking each other, "Have you been
scheduled?"
At first the girls did not know what
scheduling" meant when they re-
ceived confidential notes from Miss
Edna Earl Hope, teacher of the girls
gymnasium work ut the varsity.
Their presence alone in her private
room was requested at such and such
a time. The "alone" looked mysteri-
Gus and the girls held a consultation.
Then the bravest faced Miss Hope.
When she went in to Miss Hope her
face was eager but when she came
out it was scarlet.
"And what do you 2" she whis-
pered: "You-have to-take off all
your clothes
"And after she gets your clothes OH,
what them" chorused the girls.
Then the first girl told, with tears
and gasps, how the new gym teacher
placed an adjustable rig about the hips
and measured them-the hips-yes!
And she measured the arms and the
'er-'er-legs. The bust expansion and
the length of the fingers, and how
big the chest is when the girl takes
long breath, and how little it gets
when the girl expels her breath. Then
she subtracts the difference, divides
it by two. and multiplies the result by
three, and says:
"There's where you ought to be, and
maybe you'll be that by the end Of the
year, when the second physical exami-
nation comes"
The girls held an Indignation meet
ing the latter part of the week, and
committee was secretly appointed to
wait on President Dabney.
"But," said the girls on the commit
tee, 1--WE would rather take one Of
those scheduled things than to tell a
man about it,"

girls who were scheduled" Miss Hope

When special care is given to the Sc
lection Of the breeding stock, and the
grower bears in mind those profitable
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of form,
length of breast and body, and con-
stitutional vigor-the most satisfactory
results may come from the growing of
this variety. But no matter how
much care may be given these condi-
tons, only partial success will come if
inbreeding is permitted. The use Of
diversified males with small females is
of less advantage than the use of
smaller males with well-matured,
medium-sized females.

THE NATIONAL BlR
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.

I Ing, people have become so disheart-
ened in some localities with the mea.
ger results of their efforts to grow
turkeys for market that they have de-
sisted from the attempt.
Mr.. T. f. McGrew, Of New York,
wellknown judge of poultry and a
writer on breeds and breeding, has
written a turkey bulletin for the De-
partment of Agriculture which is
known as Farmers Bulletin No. 200,
and in this he says that there is no
other kind Of livestock that will return
so large a profit to the successful pro-
Queer as will poultry, and no kind Of
poultry is more profitable than turkeys
when properly handled. The fact that
turkeys will, from the time they are
six weeks old until winter sets in,
gain the greater part of their entire
living from bugs, g-asshoppers and
waste grain that they pick up in their
wanderings over the range, assures
their existence through this period at
little or no cost to the grower. In
other words they may be termed self
sustaining foragers, where they have
sufficient range.

This turkey holds the post of honor.
1t is possibly a cross between the wild
turkey and the tame turkey, which lat
ter is generally believed to have de-
scended from either the North Ameri-
can wild turkey, the Mexican wild
turkey or the Honduras or Ocellated
turkey. It's beautiful rich plumage
and its size have come from it's wild
progenitor. To maintain these desir-
able qualities, crosses are continually
necessary. In this way the mammoth
size has been gained, the standard
weight ranging from sixteen to thirty
six pounds, according to age and sex.
The coloring Of this variety is a
ground of black blazoned or shaded
with bronze. This shading is rich and
glowing, and when the suns rays are
reflected from these colors, they shine
like polished steel. The female is not
as rich in color as the male, but both
have the same color and shadings.
Much Of this richness Of color is lost

from inbreeding so much as turkeys.
