Aged Eggs.

Eggs preserved four years in water
glass, were recently examined by an
expert of the o. S. Agricultural De-
partment and found to have an TN
pleasant taste or smell and the white
coagulated in cooking. At this age
there is a slight taste like soda and
the white is pink i'll color and very
liquid. Eggs kept in water glass abo1ft
six months tasted and smelIed like
well-kept eggs few days old. Chang
es in preserved eggs take place very
gradually and at one year old are
hardly noticeable. Out Of 384 dozen
eggs put up between April and June
and sold between October and De-
cember, only 5 dozen or I-3 per cent
were bad, and these were cracked and
broken.

Fowls are Kept in Small Flocks.
AS soon as the chicks are Matched
they are placed in brooder houses.
Large breeders use the pipe system
OF heating, but the smaller growers
employ colony brooders. The chicks
are kept in these houses until we'll

colony houses holding so each, or

ers, house most Of their stock in long
houses divided into pens holding
about $50 each.
The small houses are provided with
a door, window and large opening
over the window, which is covered
with netting The houses are kept
very open but are closed at night
and in stormy weather. Cracked
corn and beef scrap are kept con-
stantly before them and they get no
other feed except cabbage, charcoal,
grit and oyster shells. A pail OF
water is also kept in each pen or
house and renewed daily or oftener.
The birds roost on the floor and the
houses are cleared once and awhile.
The young chicks are fed five
times day at first, but soon get only
three meals. The brooder house floor
is covered with an inch Of sand.
Second growth hay is cut into short
lengths and a basketful strewn
through the pens each day. The feed
er goes through the house with a pail
of chick food, throwing a small SCOOP
ful or two in the litter. He then
gives them a mixture Of dry ground
grains, consisting Of two parts wheat
bran and one part corn meal by meas

of beef scraps. Enough is given them
so that while they have food constant

Brooding Young Chickens in
Florida.

A correspondent of the Florida
Poultry Journal, writing from Polk
county, says:
| think brooding young chicks caus-
eS more failure than any one thing the
poultry1nan has to contend with.
There is so much said on the sub
ject of brooders l will venture and
give little Of my experience, hoping
to benefit some one.
| have raised chickens now four
teen years and have never bought a
brOOder nor do not think will. l
have only tried the incubator two sea-
sons, but have raised young chickens
without for several years.
L set as many hens as | can at
once, and take them away from the
hens and raise them without mothers,
and have excellent success, and
have never been bothered with bowel
trouble in the least. I raise fine heal
thy stock, and those that come off
weakly will not die to please me.
First | have houses large, dry and
warm. My brooder house is 8xI2 fac
ing to the east, with cement floor.
This [ cover one or two inches in
sand for warmth. 1t is closed on the
north and west side. Wire on the
south end and southwest corner, a
glass window in the middle of the
east front, with a wire door on the
inside to use in warm weather. The
window throws the sun in the north
halt OF the house, while the sun will
shine through the wire on the south
half, and gives ventilation for all.
The partitions are all of wire, one
inch mesh. | use curtain over wire
IN cold weather. In summer raise the
curtains, raise window (Which has
wire over Openlng), and open solid
door and you have an ideal house for
winter and summer. Use a small
stove in the house. This is only
needed on cold mornings for biddie

This house opens in three different
yards. The openings except the main
door are one foot high and at least
three feet long, SO when quick rain

hover by taking two yards outing or
canton flannel folding it in one yard
lengths, and sew together lengthwise
about four inches from selvedge edge.
Then again one inch inside of that.
This is to slip your poles in, which
must be just long enough to go across
the box and rest on those strips you
have nailed on the inside of the box.
Now nail nail on the inside of the

How Humming Birds Hatch Out.

William Lowell Finley, the new ma
turallst-photographer, writes as fol-
lows in the Country Calendar" for
june:
AT first the little capsules of eggs
had a wonderfully delicate flesh tint
OF pink; then, one morning, | stood
over the nest like Thomas of old.
Some one had replaced the eggs with
two tiny black bugs! 1t might have
been a miracle. There was a tiny
knob on the end of each little bug
that looked as if it might be the be-
ginning Of bill. Each little creature
resembled black bean more than a
bird, Tor each possessed light streak
OF brown down the middle of the back
They couldn't be beans, for they were
puls1ng with life in lumpy sort OF
way l went frequently to look at
them. In a few days the little nest
llngs began to fork out all over with
tiny black horns until they would have
looked like prickly pears had they
been the right color. At the next
stage, each tiny horn began to blos-
som out into a spray Of brown down,
the yellow at one end grew into bill,
the black skin cracked a trife and
showed two eyes. 1t was hard lu see
just how these black bugs could turn
to birds, but day after day the miracle
worked till | really saw two young

they are very closely related.-Ed.)

The danger of handling horses af-
fected with glanders was recently
emphasized by the death of a Clinton
county, Iowa, man from that disease.
While cases of glanders in man are
not common, he danger of contract
ing the disease is always present
Horses suffering with glanoers should
be destroyed without delay. There
is no hope of their recovery and they
are a constant menace to other horses
and to man-Inland Farmer.

MILLIONAIRE CHOIR
WoRLD-FAMED SINGING SOCIETY

ENADE THE PRESIDENT.

New York, May 4.-Former sub
jects of Emperor Francis Joseph resi-
dent in this city. are on the tiptoe Of
expectation in anticipation of the ar
rival here tomorrow Of Vienna's world
famed Singing Society. The organiza-
ton, which is the most famous Of it's
kind in the world. is coming to sere-
made President Roosevelt and on ar
rival in New York the singers will de-
part at once for Washington. After
meeting the president the choir will
make tour Of the large cities of the
East.
The party numbers $50 singers,
their wives and daughters, and fifteen
newspaper correspondents. Their
visit to America will cost them in the
neighborhood of 100000. But this is
not surprising when the fact is borne
in mind that no less than fifteen mil
lionairs are members of the society.
Mendelssohn, List, Richard Wagner,
Johann Strauss and Brahms were hon
orary members of the society, and each
of them has dedicated works to it.

Age of Massachusetts JUDGES.

The law of Massachusetts is being
expended with wisdom and reasonable
celebrity by bench of seven judges
whose average age is 81 years. In
fact it should be said that seldom. if
ever, has a Judge been appointed as
young as 40, the age mentioned by Dr..
Osler when. rams best attainments in
life are achieved. At present two of
the judges, Morton and Hammond, are
on on the thrss.'oid of 70; one. Chief JUS
tice Knowltss., is 68; Judge Sheridan
is 633, Judge Bsaley is 81, Judge Loring
81, while Juage Rugg, the latest ap-
pointee, is thu youngest, being As. Still,
it should be said that the work is quite
evenly distributed, the seniors doing
their share with the juniors, and no
high court in the country has better
reputation for having its work SO well
in hand or stands higher.

Eugene, who is spending the winter
on the Rivera, will be eighty-one
years old tomorrow. According to re-

very poor health and news of her de-

Born in Granada in 1S26-the daugh-

lady-the life-story of Eugene is one
of the most romantic and pathetic of

marrying her in spite of the active
and avowed opposition of his minis

CONTEMPLATION SERVICES 70
BE HELD TODAY FOR
ROBERT MORRISON.

y New York, May 1.-The Christian
churches throughout the world will
hold tomorrow Morrison Comment
orative Service in celebration of the
centennial of the beginning of Christ
ian Missionary work in China. The
service takes its name from Robert
Morrison, who was the first Protest
ant Christian missionary to the Chin
ese Empire. Morrison was born in
England, in 1882, and was sent to
Canton, China, in 1907 by the London
Missionary Society. He founded a
college, prepared a Chinese grammar
and dictionary, and translated the
whole Bible into Chinese.
At the time of his Arrival in China
the Chinese we're forbidden to teach
the language to foreigners under pen
atty of death, and no foreigner was
permitted to reside in the empire ex-
cept for the purposes of trade. Nor.
rison was obliged to accept the posi-
ton of translator to the East India
Company's factory in Canton in order
to remain in the city. He received
his first Christian convert seven years
after his arrival. When Morrison died
in 1884 there were only two other
Protestant missionaries in China. Now
there are about $500 Protestant Mis-
sionaries in the Chinese Empire and
the one convert of 1914 has multiplied
to more than 100000.

ago as one of the boats belonging to

rowed out to the ship in Manila Har-
