which Kermit Roosevelt is taking the
trip to his fathers ranch, was the loss
of their horses the first night out. just
how the horses escaped no one knew.
Ranchers from the surrounding country
were pressed into service and during
the day all the animals were recovered
with the exception of Tickle, the little
horse belonging to Paul, Congressman
Martins son. The party went on, but
the ranchers kept an eye out for the
little bay mare, which, although, she
never travelled the road before, appeared
the next day at the Martin stables in

A Nebraska woman describes a
simple way Of testing eggs to tell
whether they are fresh: when they
are taken from the nest or purchased
from the grocery, put them in a pan
of water. If they are perfectly fresh
they will sink to the bottom and lie
still, directly on their sides. If they
are not quite fresh they will tilt q
little and rock about on the bottom
of the pan. If very bad they will
float. The best plan is to try one
egg at a time.

For FANcY Fowls.
In an editorial in your September
number, on the Quality of Eggs"
you make some very sensible and
practical suggestions as to the care
of laying hens, showing conclusively
that the quality Of their food has
much to do with determining the
quality of the egg product. You also
lay stress upon flavor as being the
main element in determining the
uuality-the article quoted from the
Farmers Sentinel, of Wisconsin, to
the contrary, Notwithstanding. /
fully agree with you in this and feel
that all who enjoy eggs-poached,
boiled or scrambled land many eat
them raw can easily detect the
favor, unless it be destroyed with
bacon or salt and pepper, and it is
this delicate, indescribable flavor
which appeals to the taste of every
real lover of eggs.
Beside the food of the hen, which
you emphasize, there are external in
7uences that have much to do with
the flavor of eggs, and it is to call
attention to some Of these that |
write this.
An egg breathes, just as every
other living thing, taking in and ex
haling air as the surrounding tenn
perature changes; so. in order to
preserve their flavor, eggs should be
kept at a uniform temperature, or
as nearly so as possible, and far from
strong, Objectionable odors. l recall
having, on one occasion, packed some
fresh eggs in a large gourd, from
which the seed had been taken, with
out removing the pulpy lining that
adheres to all gourds. In a short
while we began to use them and
things brought to the table seemed
to have a peculiar taste-the batter
bread seemed to be little off, the
cake appeared to have been doctored,
although the good woman insisted
that she had used Prices best ex-
tracts; the lettuce, though the dress
ing was made with vinegar and mus
tard, seemed to have gourd leaf or
something other than lettuce mixed
withit. We began to think that per-
haps someone had designs on us and
that there might be death in the
pot" but when some boiled eggs
came on, that had come from that
gourd, the odor and flavor were

body any good" The storm of dis
may. disgust and apprehension which
the official exposure of the state of
things prevailing in the slaughter
houses and packing houses Of Chica-
go has provoked should cause the
heart Of the vegetarian to leap with
Joy. Misery loves company, and the
advocate Of a purely vegetarian diet
may now look forward to making
multitudes of converts. tits perfect
ly true that peas, beans and other
lentils are rich in nitrogenous pro-
ducts; that all the other elements of
nutriment are derivable from the
cereals, nuts, tubers and other veg
etables, and that all the fuel needed
for the lungs may be obtained from
olive oil and oils expressed from cot
ton seed and other vegetable sources.
1T is unnecessary, however, to
confne oneself to a strictly Yegeta-
rian regimen in order to avoid con-
tamination from the filthy, diseased,
decayed or poisonous products OF
meat. The fruit Of the hen is al
ways with us. Nothing but age can
contaminate the egg, and the effect
of age makes itself known instanter
to the prophylactic sense of smell.
An immense stimulus ought to be
given to the egg-raising industry, in
view of the aversion and suspicion
with which meat products are likely
to be eyed, for a considerable time
at all events, by thousands if not
of former consumers on both
sides of the Atlantic.
Ultimately, no doubt, when the
conviction that a drastic reform of
the methods of preparing meat has
been effected and is permanent, shall
have become widespread and deep
rooted, the inherited relish for ami
NAL food will reassert itself. Mean

1ence has long been manifested with
respect to milk and its products, and
nasmuch as grave doubt is beginning
to be cast upon the fish-packing in
lustry, and has long attached to So

could be guaranteed, the taste for
animal food may have to seek salts

We had a similar experience with
"moth balls" that had been placed
in the nests to destroy insects, though
we were not so long in locating the

In order, then, to have the best
eggs, they should be kept clean and
cool and removed from noxious odors,
so that, like ones self, they may be
free from contamination.

THE PLAIN TRUTH.
What More Can Hopkinsville
People Ask?

When well-known residents and
former residents, highly respected
people, make such statements as the
following, it must carry conviction
to every reader:
w. H. West, stock raiser,
city constable and collector, who
lived at $40 West Seventh ST., said:
'I suffered for years with kidney
and bladder troubles, and in conse-
quence was subject to a great deal
of pain. There was a heavy, dull
aching in the small of my hack over
my right hip and extending down
over the bladder. The pain became
especially severe if / should stir
around or remain long on my feet.
The difficulty of the kidney Sc
cretions annoyed me at all times:
They were scanty, irregular, and
the passages were accomplished
with burning sensation. / heard

may be suffering from that common

49,
One of the achievements Of poul-
try keeping is that Of forcing a hen
to dof her old coat, and grow a new
one before the time when she would
do so naturally. Many hens shed
their feathers so late in the season,
naturally, that cold weather over
takes them before they get new suits,
consequently they seldom begin lay
ing before spring. If the moult can
be hastened so that a new coat of
feathers is grown and the laying can
be started before cold weather. the
prospect is good for supply Of eggs
during fall and winter.
The result is usually accomplished
by cutting off all meat and mash
foods, putting the hens on short ra-
tions of grain for week or so to
stop the laying, then allow more lib
erty and feed full ration high in
protein. This loosens the old feath-
ers, which drop off quickly, and
starts a rapid growth of the new.
A liberal allowance of beef scrap is
essential, and lindseed meal is an ad-
vantage. Sunfiower seeds are also
good during the moult. Farming

class of students about nature. One
day three students consulted together
and contrived plan to fool the pro-
lessor. They got the head Of one bug.
the thorax Of another, the abdomen of
another, the legs Of another and the
wings of another. These they put to-
gether and formed a curious sort of
bug and placed it upon the professors
desk the next morning. When the pro-
lessor was about to begin the lesson
on insects one of the students walked
up and said:
Professor. what sort of a bug is
that?'
The professor took out his glasses
and began to look at the bug. He then
took his magnifying glass and wrinkled
his forehead and really became per.
picked. He was Just about to give up
