The whirligig of time has brought
horse values to high tide again. They
are no longer killed for their hides, as
reported from the extensive horse
breeding ranches on the Western
plains. Neither Is the buyer at a pub

informed that several more head goes

are making dates for taking In horses,
and urging farmers to bring whatever
they have to sell In this line. Blem-
ishes that few years ago would have
deprecated the value greatly are
passed by with slight remarks and
prices are higher than ever before. 1t
would seem as if the horse had come
to his own again with an era of pros
perity at hand The sad feature OF the
whole thing is the appropriateness of
farmers generally to benefit by exist
ing conditions. The temptation to sell
a proven, or promising, brood mare Is
too great for most to withstand And
thus it happens that the normal I'm
provement which should follow the
continued use of good slres is not at

Use the Egg Tester.

If one is having the first experience
with an Incubator, he had best get an
egg tester with the machine and use 1t
strictly In accordance with directions.
II no tester is had, make one or use
the hand. The way to test the fertility
of an egg is to take it into a dark
room, which is fairly warm, so that the
egg will not become chilled; have a
lamp or candle in the room and also
a perfectly fresh egg. The eggs to be
tested should have been in the incu-
batof or under the hen for seven or
eight days. Now take the fresh eggs
in the hand or between the thumb and
finger, encircling it, and hold it be-
tween the eyes and the light.
1t will appear to be almost trans
parent; more so IL it is a white shell
egg than if dark one. Look at It
closely and it will be the same all
through. Now take the egg that has
been in the process of incubation for
seven or eight days and look at 1t close
~ In the same way. If it is fertile you
will observe dark spot floating around
in the otherwise almost Transparent
matter; this is the germ which Is n
the process of growth. 4 little practices
will enable any one to test eggs for
fertility readily and accurately.-Ex-

The Fnrmer.n Emit.

1t has been frequently stated by those
who make a business of fruit growing
that the farmers orchard will soon
be thing Of the past. They assert
that the labor for caring for 1t and the
constant warfare against fungi, insects
and blight will restrict fruit produc-
ton largely to the specialist; that the
farmer can better devote his land and
work to farm crops and buy his fruit
We don't believe In this doctrine, and
this year will convince many that it Is
false. When farmers have to go with
out apples or pay present prices for
them they are very likely to figure on
producing their own. There is no
great mystery or expense about car
ing for an orchard that puts 1t beyond
the ability of any man who can rud
a farm. Prepare to care for the orch
ard. Though some expense and some
study may be necessary they will also
be profitable. If the farm orchard is
about played out, set a new one. And
If small fruits are not grown prepare
to raise enough for home use. There
is no more sense in a farmer buying
his fruit than In buying his garden

1t Is hard for the man who has de-
pended upon stable manures fer years
to pay what seems to him the very
high prices asked for commercial fer
tiliZers, and, perhaps, it is quite natural
for him to buy the cheaper grades,
thinking to save something on the
transaction. This is d serious mistake,
and one he must pay for by a reduced
crop, so that in the end his cheap fer
tilizer has been more excessive than

Points in the NELL Report.

'Potted ham" is made with the help OF
meat scraps unfit to be eaten, bits Of
rope and other rubbish
There are no resrooms and women are
stationed in the Mushrooms TO prevent the
girls from resting there.
There are no lavatories or sinks where
employees may wish their hands before
plunging them into meat products.
Even the ordinary decencies Of life are
ignored in the sanitary arrangements
made for the men and women employees.
The phraseology of the labels alleging
government inspection is wholly unwar-
ranted and tends TO deceive the purchaser.
Canned meats noldy with age are 'liv-
ened up" by being heated, relabeled and
placed on the market.
Girls of 16 stand ten hours a day, al
though their work could be done just
as we'll if they were permitted to sit
down.
Workers climb over heaps of meat with
their dirty shoes and cut up sides of beef
holding them against 'indescribably filthy
aprons
Piles of sausages and moldy canned
meats, supposed to be tanked, may at OPP
tion of the superintendent be turned into
sausage, after being treated with ehemi-
Gals.
Girls and women are forced To work in
a room at a temperature of So degrees,
with a water-coyered floor and a leaky
ceiling, although ali these conditions APP
parently are unnecessary.

Stricken California City Again
Rocked by Another Earth shock.
A sharp earthquake shock was felt
at San Francisco and in Oakland at
II 80 Monday night. The tremor was
of short duration and no damage was
reported
The great earthquake Of April IS on
the Pacific coast is still fresh in the
public mind San Francisco was the
center of the disturbance and many
other smaller coast towns suffered. In
San Francisco the earth tremors start
ed fires that resulted in the destruction
of three-quarters of the city. The loss
was estimated at $j00,00o,000. Many
lives were lost, some estimates placing
the number at $500.
The first shock of the quake was felt
at 5 :15 a. m. The water mains were
broken by the commissions of the earth
and when many fires in various sec
tons Of the city broke out there was
no way to quench the flames. The resi-
dents Of the city, driven by the flames
from their homes, have camped
many weeks in the public parks and
in the Preside, the military reserva-
ton. 1t was estimated that 100000
were made homeless.

Comment BY the President

| urge the immediate enactment into
law of provisions which will enable the
Department of Agriculture adequately to
inspect the meat and meat-food products
entering into interstate commerce, and
to supervise the methods of preparing the
same, and to prescribe the sanitary condi-
tions under which the work shall be per-
formed. l urge the enactment Of the
Beveridge amendment.
The conditions shown by even this
short inspection to exist in the Chicago
stock yards are revolving 1t is impera-
lively necessary in the interests of de-
cency that they shoald be radically chang
ed. Under the existing law it is wholly
impossible to secure satisfactory results.
The report shows that the stock yards
and packing houses are not kept even
reasonably clean and that the method of
handling and preparing food products is
uncleanly and dangerous to health.
If inspection of meat food products at
all stages of preparation is not secured
by the passage of legislation recommend
ed l shall feel compelled to order that
inspection labels and certificates on can
ned products shall not be used hereaftr.
In my judgment the expense of the
inspection should be paid by a fee levied
on each animal slaughtered. If this is
not done the whole purpose of the law
can be defeated at any time through an
insufficient appropriation.

Resists so-Cent Gas Law.

The Consolidated Gas Company of
New York has gone into the Circuit Court

at so cents. The company offers, if an
injunction is granted at once, to turn
over to the court all money collected above
the so cents while the suit is being ad-
Indicated. these moneys to be disposed of
according to the report. The general al
legation in the bill is that the law deprives
the company of a reasonable profit, al
though gas at 81 IS cheaper than it is any
where else in the State. But the most
striking averment ia that the act is loaded
up with heavy penalties that threaten ruin
to the company if it even seeks to test
in the courts the validity of the law.
