Food TaIue of Eggs.

Popular belief to the contrary, there
is no difference in the nutritive quail
ties of eggs with dark shells and those
with light. Their favor is affected by
the food of the fowl for good or for
evil. Exhaustive experiments by well
equipped investigators prove that the
egg deserves its 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, a less
chemically desirable food that is n
joyed becomes valuable by reason of
that fact.

THE BIRD
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.

Ing, people have become so dlsheart-
ened in some localities with the mea'
ger results of their efforts to grow
turkeys for market that they nave de
sisted from the attempt.
Mr.. T. f. McGrew, of New York, a
wellknown judge of poultry n a
writer on breeds and breeding, a
written a turkey bulletin for the De
partment of Agriculture which is
known as Farmers Bulletin No. 2O,
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.

The Bronze Turkey.

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. Its beautiful rich plumage
and its size have come from its 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

tyrant of fhe air and the other he

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

yards.
Although the North American wild
turkey is a beautiful and respondent

mated with a lustrous finish Of coppery
color. his domesticated cousin, while
improved nothing in appearance, has
beer bred up to outweigh any other
domestic fowl, thirty or thirty-fve
pounds being not uncommon among
prize turkey flocks.
According to the Department OF
Agriculture the growing of turkeys
has improved within the last few
years as n result of a 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 pre- bred breeding
stock than the smaller and less vigor-
u s stock of days gone by. Their
efforts to introduce throughout the
country the several standard varie-
hes 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

two turkey hens. This has reduced
many of the turkeys throughout the

FAIR STUDENTS IN REVOLT.
Object to the Measuring Methods of
Their Gymnasium instructor.

The girls of the freshman and sophie
more classes of the University of Gin
cinnati 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-
ceiyed confidential notes from Miss
Edna Earl Hope, teacher of the girls

Their presence alone in her private
room was requested at such and such
a time. The "alone' looked mysteri-

When she went in to Miss Hope her
face was eager, but when she came

pered: "You-haye to-take off all
your clothes
"And after she gets your clothes OF,
what then?" 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 a
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 a
committee was secretly appointed to
wait on President Dabney.

tee, 1--WE would rather take one of

Mr.. McGrew states that white turkeys
are quite as easy TO grow as any other
variety, and he states that one cannot
select n better kind for all uses than
the White Holland. They grow TO the
most profitable sizes, dress beautifully
for market, their light. pinkish-white
shanks add to their appearance: and
with them. as with all white poultry,
the pin feathers show less than in
