New York Egg Rules.

Several changes have been made
lately in the egg rules of the New
York Mercantile Exchange. The gem
eral requirements for the leading
grades are now as follow:
Extras-Free from dirty eggs, of
good uniform size, eighty per cent.
fresh, reasonably full, strong-bodied,
sweet eggs; maximum loss permitted,
1s dozen to the case.
Extra Reasonably clean
and of good average size; fifty per
cont. fresh, reasonably full, strong
bodied, sweet eggs; balance--other
than the loss--may be defective in
strength or fullness but must be
sweet; maximum total loss, three
dozen to case.
Firsts-Same as extra firsts except
forty per cent. maximum fresh, etc.,
and four dozen maximum loss.
Seconds-Reasonably clean and of
fair average size; thirty per cent.
fresh, reasonably full eggs; maximum
total loss, five dozen to case.
1t Is important to shippers to know
NhoS AOoo III lllS II,
and especially in view of the recent
activity of the Health Board in pre-
venting the sale of very inferior re-
jecti.ns; the rules provide:
10. Loss as used in these rules,
shall comprise all rotten, spotted,
broken (leaking), broken yelked,
hatched (blood-veined) and sour
eggs. Very small. very dirty, cracked
(not leaking), badly heated, badly
shrunken and salt eggs shall be
counted as half loss in all grades ex-
cepting dirties and checks"
Any egg containing considerable
quantity of the reflections classed
above as full loss are now very OBJ
jectionable to buyers. and shippers
are advised to candle out all such
before shipment.-From the Country
Gentleman.

HIS OWN KNEW nIM.

One of the occupations in Austria
liza is sheep-raising. There are large
ranches upon which many sheep and
lambs find food, and the shepherds
guard their own.
One day a man was arrested for
stealing a sheep. The man claimed
that the sheep was his own, that he
had been missing from the flock for
some days, but. as soon as he saw
the animal ne knew him
The other man claimed the sheep
and said he had owned him since he
was lamb. and that he had never
been away from the flock.
The judge was puzzled how TO de-
eide the matter. At last he sent for
the sheep. He first took the man in
whose possession the sheep was
found to the courtyard, and told him
to call the sheep. ~
The animal made no response, only
to raise his head and look fright
ened as II in a strange place and
among strangers
Bidding the officers to take the
man back to the courtroom, he told
them to bring down the defendant.
The accused man did not wait until
he entered the yard, but at the gate.
and where the sheep could not see
him, he began peculiar call. At
once the sheep bounded toward the
gate, and by his actions showed that
familiar voice was calling.
"His own knows him." said the
judge--The Sunday Companion.

A Cold Dairy without Ice.

An ingenious woman has devised
a plan for having good. cold milk
and butter all summer without ice.
1t is a homemade dairy, is so cheap,
easily taken care Of, and is successful.
/ will give the plan, and any house
wife can have 1t with very little work.
Get four pieces of scantling 2x4
inches, six feet long, and nail pieces
two feet long each way, about 21s
feet from the ground, and nail pieces
of the same at the top. Then board
over top and also lay floor at bot
tom. Now put a shelf on each side
and cover all around and on top with
nice clean bran sacks or burlap. Leave
one side open and put loops on it,
and nails on the side to fasten 1t.
Put a tub on top and fill II with
water, and put wooden strips of cloth
two and three inches wide In 1t. so
that they feed the water down and
keep the sacking wet all the time.
The air blowing through the wet
sacks keeps everything almost as cool
as II 1t were In refrigerator, and
the butter and milk tastes better than
II 1t were shut from the air, and will
keep fresh much longer in this dairy.
An old blanket makes the best feed
ing strips; put in enough to have
three or four to each side.
This dairy was kept in the yard
under shade tree, but the back
porch Is equally as good place and
more convenient. Any one who tries
this plan, am sure, will be delighted
with It'll. e. X, in the American
Cultlyator.

An Important Decision.

Under. recent decision of the
Michigan Supreme Court, announces
The Inland Printer. newspaper pub
Usher can collect from an advertiser
who breaks his contract only the diff
ference between the amount of the
contract and the amount secured for
the space which would have been occu.
pied by the advertiser. The publisher
must make every reasonable effort to
dispose Of the space which the adyer-
tiser refuses to take, and II he is
able to secure the same price as the
advertiser contracted to pay. the in
ference would be that there are no
damages. Unless a contract speci.
fles certain location 1t would ap-
pear to be extremely difficult under
this ruling to prove damages, rs any
new order for space after the re-
nouncing OF the contract might be
construed as a sale Of the space which
the advertiser would have taken.

Work With Homo

To work without hope is dIscour-
aging. We need the sense of pro-
gress to cheer and sustain us. To go
round and round on a treadmill of
mere drudgery takes our spirit out
OF us. Therefore, we need q deeper
ana larger hope. We need to have
iaith In mental, moral and spiritual
progress, in the growth OF the soul.
In the unfolding of its higher pow
ers, It's larger faculties. We need to
nave faith that the years, as they
come and go, may give us deeper
experience. may lift us to a large
vision. may enable us to come nearer
TO God In faith. nearer to man in
human sympathy and love.--James
Freeman Clarke.

Heavy Weight Seeds.

According to the Canadian experi-
mental farms report the selection of
plump and well-ripened seed for SOW
ing is a great advantage. In each
seed is laid up store of food to be
used by the young plant in the early
stages of its growth. In shrivelled
seed the store which can be drawn
on is very meagre and the growth un-
der such circumstances is slow, but
in well-developed and plump kernel
the supply is abundant and the plant
starts out with a degree of vigor
which is usually maintained and the
resulting crop, all other conditions
being equal, is usually satisfactory.

After all that may be said on the
subject Of advertising, the fact re-
mains that the most powerful argu-
ment that can be used is that of
cheapness, People will buy things
because they are cheap, where the
consideration OF quality would have
no effect whatever. People have come
to look upon advertisements as a
means Of finding where they can buy
goods the cheapest. An advertise
ment should always contain the price
OF the article advertised In fact,
unless you can offer an article
cheaper than it can be purchased any
where else. there is not much use ad-
vertising it, The people who are in
nuenced by advertisements are the
great middle class, whose incomes are
limited and whose constant study is
to adjust their purchases to fit them.
