MARKETING THE EGGS.
They Should Be Gathered Often and
Packed with the Small
End Down.

Eggs should be gathered every day in
summer and oftener in winter, unless the
hen house 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 a 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
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 a very good
price. Among the most prolific 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.

ENoNoMY OF THE BEE.
A Little Story Of How the Queen and
Drones Came to Be Feature
Of Every Colony.

At one time the bees were male and
female in equal numbers. The ire
sponsible male buzzed about simply
getting his own living, marrying and
dying. The responsible female not only
got her own living. but that Of her
children.
Somehow by and by, they came to
see the advantage of communal effort,
and, just as women say to one another
now, III you'll wash the dishes, I'll
wipe EN-" one feminine bee said to
the other, "I'll be mother IL you'll get
the living" It was bargain and the
accommodating females took drones in
to board.
The queen of beehive does not
rule; she lays eggs. She does not mind
the babies. She does not even do her
own digestlng, let alone getting the
food. The attendants that surround
her feed her with bee milk, secreted
by glands in their heads. She had to
be fed continually, for at certain peri
ods she has the power of producing
from 1000 to 5000 eggs day, twice
her own weight, four times indeed, for
more than half her weight is eggs. In
her lifetime a prolific queen will lay
100000 eggs.

GOOD HOG FEED.
What Pumpkins and squash Will Do
for the swine-The Proper
Way to Feed.

The prominent institute lecturer, Mr..
Theodore Lewis, has the following to
say regarding the use of pumpkins
and squash for the feeding of hogs:
II want to suggest profitable in
vestment of little labor and still less
cash. Take from half to full acre
OF corn field that lies nearest to the
barn yard, that Is likely to be well sup
piled with manure, and give II lib
eral dressing of that material. Then
plow 1t under as soon as possible, and
stake off the plat so that its boundar-
les Will be well known. When prepar-
Ing the corn field be sure to give this
particular piece a specially good har-
rowing. When marking the field for
corn, probably from May 10 to 15,
mark this plat also, one way, but
plant no corn on It, When the field IL
narrowed to kill the sprouting weeds
and grass, as It should be before and
after the corn is up, do not neglect the
implanted portion.
about May 25, IL the season is Or
dinarily favorable, plant this plat to
squash, but not the hard shell kind. or
to pumpkins, or both. Plant eight feet
apart each way, and put in plenty of
seed, 80 as to give cut worms or
squash bugs their fill and have plants
left. When. the insects have departed
thin the plants to four or five to the
hill, II the insects did not do the thin
ming. Each time the corn is cultivat-
ed go through the squash patch until
the vines get too large to allow 1t. In
this way the vines are not Injured by
cultivation of the corn.
'If the season is at all favorable
there will be tons of squashes and
pumpkins on the ground, and they can
be got at without driving over large
field to gather them. and will avoid
waiting for them until the corn is ma
tured and cut up. This makes it pos
sible to begin feeding them earlier,
and so lengthens the feeding season
Of kind Of material that is very
beneficial to hogs as they are changed
from the pastures to the fattening pen
for early market. And nothing better
substitutes the succulence Of the sum-
mer during the later feeding period
than the fruits named.
After the feed of corn, the squash
or pumpkin dessert should follow on
the feeding floor They should be cut
few times with sharp spade. SO the
hogs can make good use of them. The
quantity of feed must be regulated by
the effect on the animals, and that can
be most quickly discovered by watch
ing the excrement. II too much is be-
ing fed the bowels will be too loose
and the excrement will not be Of a
healthy color. These things will sug-
gest change in quantity of the suc-
culent feed. With such feeding, how
ever, wisely done, there will be no
breaking down of hogs or other pre-
ventable ailments, but there will be a
thrift and growth that will at once
surprise and delight"

Here are two Iowa husking records.
One young farmer of Pottawattamie
county, on wager that he could husk
175 bushels in eight hours, husked 1874
bushels in that time. He worked four
hours. at noon rested two hours, then
worked four hours again. A young
giant, six feet two inches in height,
and Weighing 210 pounds. of Cass coun-
ty. husked 206 bushels In nine. hours
and 80 minutes. He husked standing
corn, taking small ears and down. The
corn averaged go bushels to the acre.
