Profit depends as much on the cost
of production as on the selling price.
The good square walk as gait for
a farm horse is the most valuable of

The rotation of crops does not call

Lamp for Dante's Tomb.

The Italian Dante society is to fur
nish the tomb of the poet of Ravenna
with a lamp which, it is proposed, shall
be kept perpetually burning at the ex-
pense of the municipality of Florence.
The lamp is the fourteenth century We
netian style, its main feature being an
ostrichs egg surrounded at its greatest
diameter by circlet of copper with or
naments of gems, lapis lazui and maIa-
chite. The cup of the lamp will be IF
the finest Venetian crystal. The work
is pronounced worthy of the best tradi-
tons of Florentine craftsmen. 1t will
probably be placed in position at Raven
ma in the course of Decentralization

Experiments i'm Fowls for Egg~.
The New York Experiment Station
studied the effect Of different rations
upon the favor of eggs. Those laid by
hens fed with highly heterogeneous ra-
ton were inferior to those from hens
fed with a carbOnacPOuS ration. They
had disagreeable flavor and odor The
eggs and yolk were smaller and the
keeping qualities inferior. In the test
at the Massachusetts (Hatch) Expert
ment Station to compare cabbage and
clover rowen as the green portion of
ration for laying hens it was found that
the eggs produced on the former ration,
although heavier and possessing a
higher percentage of dry matter. pro-
tein and fat, were inferior in flavor
and cooking qualities to eggs produced
on the ration containing clover.
A small quantity of chopped wild.
onion tops and bulbs were added to the
feed of a number of hens. After about
two weeks the onion flavor was noticed
in the eggs laid. When the amount of
onion feed was increased the flavor was
so prominent that the eggs could not be
used. \ week after the feeding of on
ions was discontinued the flavor could
no longer be noticed.
