HOW TO PRESERVE EGGS.
lFrom DIR. cooner,s Book

(From DIR. Cooper's Book
However compact and close the
shell of an egg may appear, it is not
withstanding perforated with myriads
of small pores, which cannot be seen
without the assistance of a micro
scope The effect of this is evident,
for by this means the daily decrease
of the moisture of the egg takes place
through these perforations in the shell,
is supplied by air from the time of
it's being laid When the egg is quite
full, fluid is constantly passing
through these perforations nthe shell,
which is the occasion of decay, and
this is accomplished more rapidly in
warm weather than in cold. An egg
quite fresh is proverbially full, but in
all stale eggs there is some vacancy,

LATE MATCHES.

We found there were very poor
matches early in the season in most
cases, so the crop of early Matched
chicks will be scarce. Recently the
reports from matches are more sat
isfactory and the chicks are much
stronger, and we hope our readers
will not get discouraged, but try late
matches where they have not been
able to get as many chicks as they
intend to raise. Poultry will be
scarce this fall and winter and you
will make no mistake in getting off
some chicks as late as July espe-
cially the Mediterranean class, as with
proper care and warm quarters the
pullets will begin laying when eggs
are at the top notch, and the cock
erels will make good broilers or can
be fatted for market by the examining
machine-American Poultry Advo' |
cate.

FEEDING YOUNG
TURKEYS

Feed the poults a nourishing food
and plenty of green food, just what
they will eat up clean in a short time.
l put fresh laid egg in cold water
and bring it to head, boiling it one
: half or one hour, which makes it
crumbly. | chop it very fine, shell
and all, mixing a little chick grit in
just in the morning. This is their
feed for the first two days. The third
morning | gather fresh dandelion
leaves and chop fine with egg and add
soul milk curd. This is their break
fast, never forgetting in the morning
a little chick grit At noon | feed
little curd; at night | chop onions or
rather onion tops, if | have them, and
egg ands curd. This constitutes their
feed for three or four weeks. After
that ! mix chick food and otmeal, but
always give this first food mixed with
it, adding the other foods as change.
1t is surprising how fast turkeys will
grow on this food. If wou do not over
feed, you will never have an ytrouble |
with indigestion, and at six weeks old !,
they will be plum pand fat and grow
right along.
So many people write and ask how
many eggs do I cook. Bless their
hearts, l never boil but one, and only
feed half of that to quite large flock.
A little turkey for the first three days
of it's life will not eat more than
small bird, and what they will eat
could be taken on the point Of pen
knife-Mrs. j. E. Gray, in Poultry
Success.

CLEVERD DR.. YATES
SETS EN- A TRAP
AND BY A LITTLE DETECTIVE
WORK CATCHES UP WITH Al
LEGGED THIEVES.

LYNNVILLE, Tenn, June 22-Dr
j. ]. Yates. a prominent Robertson
Fork citizen. decided recently that his
poultry yards were being molested BY
night riders. and he hit upon a clever
plan of hunting the guilty parties.
He cut a certain toe from the foot
of a dozen or two fine broilers, and
awaited results. Before long several
colOred citizens of that community
had for sale a number of fowls with
missing toes.
OF course the matter was investi-
gated and arrests followed, despite
most strenuous denials on the part of
the accused. DR.. Yates has employed
counsel, as he considers his loss too
heavy to be overlooked, and a lawsuit
next Wednesday is to be the result.
Chicken thefts are said to be both
frequent and heavy in that section,
and people generally are determined
to put stop to it.

PORTSMOUTH, O., June 2O.-The
refusal of William Schaefer, son of a
Portsmouth saloonkeeper, to sit be,
side Rhetta Haley, negress, at the
High School commencement at the
Grand Opera House tonight, delayed
the exercises nearly an hour and Gre
ated a sensation Shaefer was born

mingling with any member of the
negro race. To make the situation
worse, he had been assigned a place
on the stage beside the Haley girl The
members of the graduating class had
a hot argument over the matter, but
Superintendent Hudson refused to
change the seating arrangement. The
girl remained on the stage while
young Schaefer seated himself in the
audience. His diploma will be mailed

Lake, may take fish for the market,
or for sale, in wing nets or other de-
vices: and also, where adjacent land
owners, under permit, without charge

on their own table, but not otherwise.
Minnows may be taken in ten-foot
nets for bait only.

when eggs are worth 45 cents a dozen
He certainly made his biddies comes
to the scratch and profted thereby.
The discovery was largely due to
accident, but if Mr.. Scott hadn't been
an observing kind of man he would
still be minus the great secret. One
night last winter when his hens
couldn't be coaxed to perform their
duty, he left a lantern hanging in his
hen house and forgot it, Next morn
ing he was shocked to find the light
still burning, for the lantern had little
oil in it and might have blown up.
Such things have happened.
But the farmer had a great sur
prise in store for him. All the hens
cackled and in their nests were a
dozen fine eggs. 1t was plain that
II of the Is hens had laid in the
night, and as they hadn't accomplished
such a feat in month he judged the
lantern had something to do with it.
Whether it was the added warmth or
the rays of the light he didn't know,
but it was plain that the eggs had
been laid.
Next night the lantern, well filled
with oil, was left in the same place
and more eggs were laid. The follow
and not an egg greeted Mr.. SCOTS
gaze in the morning. 1t having been
that the hens wouldn't lay
except under artificial light, the Ian
tern was thereafter left. Mr.. Scott
says that his hens are dopey day
times and sleep most of the period be-
.ween sunrise and sunset but that
hey appear healthy and robust.

which is in proportion to the loss they
sustain through evaporation. If the
end of fresh egg be applied to the
tongue it feels cold, but that of a
stale egg feels warm, because the
white of the former being in contact
with the shell abstracts the heat from
the tongue more rapidly than the air
of the latter = The cutting off of the
access of air to the embryo in the egg
does not kill or prevent its being
hatched, but on the contrary preserves
it alive for a much longer period than
if otherwise treated. BY covering the
egg with a spirit varnish we have
produced chickens from eggs of two
years keeping. The following is the
recipe: Dissolve some gum Shalac in
a sufficient quantity of alcohol to make
a thin arnish; give each egg d coat,
and after they become thoroughly dry
pack them closely in bran sawdust,

a manner that they cannot shift about.

mo- M'fERRINS ON
CONF ERENCE ROLL
FIRST TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED
IN ALMOST CENTURY or TEN
NEssEE CHURCH.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June IL
When the Tennessee annual confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South. conenes at Springfield
next October it will probably be the
first time in the history of that or
ganization that the name of McFerrin
will not appear ON the roll Of active
members. The transfer of A. p. Nc
Ferrin. of GAINESVILLE to Opelika. Ala,
made by Bishop Atkins brings about
this situation.
From the time of the organization
of the Tennessee conference almost
century ago there have been one or
more McFerrins on the roll of its cler-
ical members. often there have been
as many as three and sometimes more.
In fact there are few if any names in
the south more prominently identified
with the ministry of the Methodist
church. There we're McFerrins in the
ministry of that church even before
the organization of the Tennessee con-
ference, records of church conferences
of the Eighteenth century containing
that name.
Until the conference of last year
there were three McFerrins on the
roll, towit: John P. McFerrin, John |
A. McFerrin and A. P. McFerrin, all |
of them prominent in the councils of |
the church. At the session held in |
Lebanon last October the first named |
was transferred to the South Georgia
Rev. John A. McFerrin,
after an honorable service of more
than third of century in the min
stry OF the Master was forced
through ill health to take the super
lnnuate relation. Now A. P. Meier
in, the last on the list, is transferred
o Alabama.
A. p McFerrin, who will leave at
nee to assume the duties of pastor
If the church at Opelika, has been
member of the Tennessee conference
or more than twenty years. During (
hat time he has had the most impor- ,
ant charges in the conference. For
our years he was pastor at Tulip s
treet and the following year at Elm /
treet. There is no more accomplished d
r popular pastor in the Tennessee
difference and his transfer will be a d
PURGE of regret to Methodists i,
lroughout the bounds of the confer d
nee.

LUCK WITH POULTRY,
A. J. PAINTER. Alton,
n - - o u ltry y" - G -
A. ]. PAYNTER, AItoh, Kans

/ have been a fancier Of poultry
ever since I've been big enough tc
take a fancy to anything, and in the
last few years have spent some good
money and no small amount of time
trying to get the best that time and
money can produce. So, kind reader
you can make up your mind right
on the start that | am not much of a
believer in luck: in fact, do not be-
lieve in it at all. Now l do not want
you to get the idea that | think know
it all about poultry, for that would
be impossible, but 1t always sounds
odd to me to hear a man say We'll,
/ can't have any luck with poultry, y
and in nine cases out of ten if you
will go to that mans place, you will
find an old rickety hen house with
one-fourth of the siding off, and the
glass all gone cut of the window, Cf
there is or ever was a window in it,
House may be ten by twelve feet for
two hundred hens, and in many cases
we have noticed them not that large.
Maybe the house has not been cleaned
out for a month, and maybe never.
The man says they can get all they
can eat, that there is a corn pile and
they can just help themselves. May

be they get a drink and maybe not.
One man told me | ought TO put up
some ice for my chickens and asked
him why, and he said. Why, they like
IT, Didn't you ever see chickens eat
snow?" told him / hoped mine
would not have to.
Now do YOU call that luck, poor
management, or faziness? Just call
it what you please, but there is no
luck in it for me.
Now maybe the next man you meet
will say, Well, like a nice lot of
hens. There is nothing on my place
that pays me SO well for the money
invested and time to care for them as
my chickens" Go to this mans place
and you will find a nice comfortable
hen-house, about fourteen by twelve
feet for one hundred fifty or two hun
bred hens. House is as clean as
some peoples kitchen. They are fed
and watered regularly and not allowed
out in the snow. This man is max
ing money on poultry. No do you
call that luck, good management, or
1t does not look like luck
to me.
l have seen chickens roosting out
IN trees with the thermometer TWEEN

ty degrees below zero and the Kan.
sas wind tuned up to about twenty
miles an hour Now If the owner OF
these chickens had to sit on a limb
beside one of these hens with the
thermometer twenty degrees below ze-
70 and the wind blowing through his
whiskers at the rate of twenty miles
an hour, guess his folks would have
had bad luck with him.
OF course we all know that the win
ter is the hardest time to get money
from poultry, but it can be done.
There are others that are making a
success of it, and why can't you if
you will get the right kind Of hens
and then take care of them right?
l will guarantee you a good income
on your money. Do not think you can
get hens that will lay, if you do not
care for them. Poultry is like every
thing else, the better the breeding the
better the stock, and the more clear
money we can make out of it; and
the better care a man gives his stock
the better stock he has, so the more
he gets for it. Now l am writing this
to any one in particular but if there
is any good in it, hope you will profit |
