that extent Hogs are also scarce

Eggs are likewise scarce Austria
Hungary, Russia. Roumania and all
the Balkan States used to ship eggs
to us. Germany was likewise big
exporter of eggs, butter, cheese and
bacon. Today Germany is sweeping
the continent for eggs, and, as a con-
sequence, last week in the Manches-
ter, Liverpool and London markets
it was scarcely possible to buy a con
tinental egg. AT the moment we are
almost entirely dependent on Ireland
for our supplies, with prices 20 per
cent higher than a year ago.
Until last year England had
monopoly of Siberian butter but
Germany stepped in and took half of
the production OF Siberia direct. and
at such prices that London prices
went up so cents per hundredweight
This year Germany is taking all the
Siberian butter, Notwithstanding thar

y ONSUL EDWARD B. WALK
Err send from Burslem an Eng
lish newspaper account of the


scarcity of food supplies in
England and their greater cost. Some
interesting points of the article fol-
low:
Bacon, cheese, eggs and butter are
scarce and dear in England. largely
owing to the enormous demand for
those commodities in America and
Germany. America is also moro and
more using up its own wheat, and
Germany is consuming more and
more of the available beet sugar sup
ply, so that though the last crop was
one of the largest on record there is a
shortage in England. Hence a strong
movement in English to establish the
sugar beet industry. Hogs are in
greater number in the United States,
but Americans are eating more OF
their own bacon, and Germany has
begun to compete for the surplus for
which England has been the chief
market. Whereas Germany used to
export provisions she must secure in
an increasing degree supplies for her
self. Even though English ports are
free the population OF the protected
countries of Germany and America
are becoming more luxurious, so that
the foreign supplies of food for Eng
land are diminishing. A week or two
ago, while the American shipments

There were Annette's white stockings

STAMPS-Adele, City. The so-called
Language of stamps" is the placing of
stamps in manner to be understood
by the sender and the receiver. An
ingenious individual has given the fol-
lowing meaning to the location of
postage stamp a letter: For ex-
ample he says that when a stamp is
inverted on the right hand upper COR
ner ii means the person written to is
to write no more. If the stamp is
placed on the left hand upper corner
and inverted then the writer declares
affection for the receiver Of the letter.
the top 1t signifies an Affirmative an
swer to a question, and when 1T is at
the bottom or opposite this 1t is mega
tive. Should the stamp be on the right
hand corner, at right angle, it asks
the question If the receiver of the let
ter loves the sender, while in the left
hand corner it means that the writer
hates the other. There is a shade of
difference between desiring ones ac-
quaintance and friendship; for ex-
ample, the stamp at the upper
corner on the right expresses the
former, and on the lower left
corner the latter. The learned in
this Language" request their corre-
spondents to accept their love by
placing the stamp q line with the
surname and the response is made, IL
the party addressed be engaged, by
placing the stamp in the same place,
but reversing 1t. The writer may wish
to say farewell to his sweetheart or
vice versa, and does SO by placing the
stamp straight up and down in the left
hand corner. So on to, the end of the

AMPUTATED LIMBS-A. o. s., City.
It is a fact well established that, after
limbs have been amputated, persons
feel certain sensations at times as If
originating in the removed parts. The
explanation as advanced BY physiolo-
gists is that the nerves are pressed
upon in the end of the stump, and the
pain is referred by the mind, through
habit, TO the former examinations OF
the nerves. 1t is probable that fancy
rather than fact enters into the grca,
majority of cases. Certainly the case
of the man who said he felt excessive
pain because the amputated arm had
been buried with the fingers cramped.
and that the pain disappeared when the
arm was taken up and the fingers

LOTUS EATERS-A. S. &C., Oakland,
Cal Lotus eater" is occasionally used
of one who lives life of ease and
luxury. This is based on the writing
OF Homer in Odyssey XI, in which he
dc scribes lotus eaters as a people who
ate of the lotus tree, the effect of which
was to make them forget their friends
and homes and to lose all desire to re-
turn to their native country. The eat
ins of the lotus produces desire to
live in ease, luxury and idleness. In
India the lotus is white and red the
last color tabled to be derived from the
blood Of silva when Kamadeva or Cupid
wounded him with a love arrow.

mercial value besides that for farm
use we would grow all our draft horses
much smaller than we do now. Farm
ers raise draft horses for a double
purpose, the primary one being to sell
on the market for the highest price OBJ

on the farm.

Farmers do not usually buy the larg-
est bulls. They have found out from
experience that it is hard to get that
coordination of other qualities befit-
ting the large size. There is a mini
mum below which they do not care
to go. There is maximum which
they do not care to reach, because
they find that the efficiency is less in
the maximum than in the medium. In
other words, it is not the largest ear
of corn that is the best ear for seed;
and we sometimes think our institute
friends make great mistake in Offer
ing premiums for the largest ear or
corn. 1t is very apt to be soft, and to
be useless for seed because too large
for the season in which the corn is to
be planted. 1t is not the largest COW
that gives the most milk. In fact, as
general rule, the best is not by any
means the largest. Therefore our read
ers should look with caution on the
overgrown horse, hog, sheep, or ear OF
corn. What they are after is effic-
iency, the power to do things, to bring
things to pass. Experience and OBJ
servation will teach the farmer the
size of grain and all kinds OF live
stock that is usually connected with
the highest efficiency of usefulness.
