FIVE BALLOONS START IN
GREAT RACE FROM ST, PAUL

it, and finally it was moved without
the enclosure in order to clear all OBJ !
structions, and at 4:53 p. m. was re-
leased.
AS the balloon rose Bennett poured
out ballast, and, still rising, the King
Edward passed over the grand stand
toward the southwest AS it struck
higher currents of air, the balloon
turned toward the south and then
toward the east, and when it passed
from sight it was sailing in a gener-
ally southwestern direction.
Work in preparation for the sailing
OF the American, owned by L. N.
Scott of St. Paul, was then hurried,
and at 500 p. m. this balloon, which
has a capacity of $4,000 cubic feet was
released. Capt. P. S. Hudson of
Louisville was the pilot of this craft,
and his assistant was H. B. Wild of
Chicago, who poured out ballast as
| the balloon rose.
The next balloon to sail was the
| United States, owned by Dick Ferris
of Minneapolis. This balloon was pi
loted by Capt. A. P. Mallory, who was
accompanied by w. M. Shephard,. AS
the balloon rose Sheppard poured out
three bags of ballast, emptying one of
sand on the spectators who occupied
the best seats. Capt Mallory I'M
folded large flag as the balloon sail
ed off toward the southwest, and
brought forth cheer from the crowd.
DR.. Julian Thomas of New York,
owner and pilot of the Pommern,
which won the St. Louis race last
! year, insisted on sailing this race
alone in order that he might stay in
the air as long as possible. His bal.
loon was released at SOL p. M. Turn
ling and waving toward the crowd
DR.. Thomas seized a large megaphone
and called down to Charles A. Corey
pilot of the Chicago, which had moi
yet sailed: Good luck Corey. Good
bye!" The Pommern, like the balloons
which preceded it, started toward the
southwest. Mr.. Thomas let out sew
eral trail ropes, and thus held the
balloon to lower currents of air, sc
that it was turned toward the south
and east more slowly than the others
had been. AS his balloon rose the
three which had preceded it were Out
of sight
Twenty-six minutes later, the Chi
Chicago, which made g remarkable
fight from Quincy, ILL.,, to Clear Lake
S. D., few weeks ago, was released
Pilot Corey was accompanied by Geo
L. Bunbaugh of Springfield, ILL.,, thu
pilot in the South Dakota fight. A
the Chicago rose Capt. Corey settled
himself back comfortably in the bas-
ket, waved the crowd good bye, ant
took several kodak pictures of the re
/ ceding grounds. By the time the
Chicago sailed the wind, which early
in the afternoon had been dangerous
had died away and the air was almos
5 perfectly still. Pilot Corey's balloon
followed the same general direction
t which the others had taken, and soo1
disappeared from view.

(. ST. Paul, July 18.-Four balloons i
released at Lexington Athletic park
at St. Paul today, are now sailing
southwest in an attempt to lower the
worlds records, that for distance and
that for endurance A fifth balloon,
which started in the race, landed at
Hampton, Mimi, thirty miles south of
st. Paul, at 7:45 p. m. tonight.
The balloon race came as the final
event of a week that has been de-
voted to festivity and pageantry as
result of the conc1ave of Shriners in
this city. Five thousand persons were
witnesses at Athletic park when the
first balloon started, and thousands
more were gathered on the prairie
which surrounds the park, and were
looking from house tops of the high
SUBMITS of the hills on which ST.
Paul is built.
The race, novel to the Northwest,
passed off without an accident to mar
its splendor. In the effort to start the
balloon King Edward, the smallest of
the aereal craft to sail today, num-
Der of spectators came near being
knocked down by the low hanging
basket, and for a moment it seemed
as if some one might be caught in the
| netting of the gas bag. The balloon
| was promptly brought back to it's
starting place, however, and no one
suffered worse than a momentary
fright. ,.%s
A wire fence had been built to en-
close the balloons. and within this
enclosure the, preferred ticket holders
were admitted. Police were on hand
to keep these favored spectators back
35but the crowd was eager to see every
detail of the ascension. and the po
lice made little effort to keep then
4 from the balloons.
Shortly after 8 o'clock the balloon
Amax was well filled, and A. LeStev
ems of New York, director of the
race, announced that it would be the
first to start. While preparations tina
the crowd supposed to be final were
being made, Lieut.. J. G. Bennett, pilot
of the King Edward, owned by ths
Canadian Aereo club of Winnipeg
forged ahead in making ready for the
ascension, and told members of the
Minnesota national guard who as
sisted, to prepare for the flight. Geo
H. Adams, a Minneapolis reporter
planned to go with Bennett in the
King Edward, but Just as the balloon
was about to be released. it was dis
covered that Adams would add tot
4 much weight to the load, which thu
balloon, the smallest in the race, hat
to carry. This balloon has a capacit,
of but $4,000 feet, and looked almos
like a toy beside the monster Chicago

PRESERVING EGGS.

| A. E. Vinson of the agricultural ex-
pertinent station of the University of
Arizona gives the following hints to
farmers on the matter Of preserving
eggs:
"The commonest and oldest preserv-
alive is 1imewater. A few Jumps of
quicklime are Stacked in large YES
sci of water, and after the excess of
lime has settled out the clear liquid
is poured over perfectly fresh eggs in
clear jar. A very small amount of
the Stacked lime may then be added
to replace the lime which will be sep
arated out by the action of the air.
After a few days a thick crust will
form on the surface, which should not
be disturbed, for it prevents evapora.
ton and excludes the air. Some add
salt to the limewater and claim it i'm
proves the quality of the eggs. Lime
water preserved eggs will keep we'll
and are serviceable for all purposes
excepting to fry, the yolks not hold
ing up we'll and the eggs being apt to
become mussy.
"The other common preservative Is
water glass This is diluted with from
10 to 20 parts Of water, but even
greater dilutions will serve when the
eggs are to be kept for short time
only. We have observed that the
stronger the water glass solution the
less apt the yolks are to break when
fried. Water glass gives better re-
suits than limewater, but is difficult
to obtain and quite expensive away
from commercial centers.
"It is absolutely essential that eggs
for preserving be perfectly fresh.
They should be preserved within "a to
SO hours after being laid. 1t is not
safe to preserve eggs whose history
is not known. such as those obtained
from dealers. The preserving material
seals up the pores in the shell and thus
prevents the entrance Of bacteria and
air. as we'll as evaporation and conse-
uuent shrinkage Of the egg contents.
The old method Of greasing the shell
TO make eggs keep better depended on
this fact. Such eggs cannot be boiled
because the impervious shells do not
permit the escape of the enclosed air,
which expands when heated and
bursts open the egg."

twelve-inch board, or shakes, on an
angle made by securing the board by
one edge to the partition, eight inches
above the boxes, and the other edge
three inches above them. No further
precaution is taken to darken the

the hens are not allowed. Such an ar
rangement makes the caring of the
fowls simple and pleasurable.

"FREsH" EGGS SECRET OUT.

How cold storage eggs are freshened
and the very simple manner in which
it is done is vouched for by an engi-
neer on the Pennsylvania railroad. The
process of rejuvenating such eggs may
be unique and somewhat expensive,
but the difference in price between
storage eggs and those branded
"fresh" warrants the undertaking. A
few nights ago this engineer, acting
under orders, hauled an entire car
load of eggs taken out of local cold
storage house to Elizabethtown, a
short distance this side of Lancaster.
A few hours standing in the car on
the siding of the Lancaster county
town was all that was necessary, and
the same engineer brought back the
Identical eggs marked in blazoned let
tiers on the car Fresh eggs from Eliza

"RUG HOUSE,"

The hen stood on the lousy nest,
Whence all but she had fed;
The red mites crawled all over her,
And shortly she fell dead.
"'Tis apoplexy, I'll be bound!"
Her lousy owner whines.
He sticks her in the cold, cold ground,
Beside the young grapevines.
My friend, he kept an old "bug house.;
A bugger, too, was he.
His chicken house was all one louise,
A "mitey" sight to see.

WHERE TO SELL BAD EGGS.

1t is sometimes desirable to know
where market can be found for bad
eggs. There is not always a local
market for eggs of this character, and
it does not pay to ship them in small
quantities. Tanners will sometimes
buy eggs of any quality; bakers will
buy infertile eggs tested out of the
incubator, but it would scarcely pay
the small producer to cater to this
market. In large egg packing houses
where profit depends in large meas
ure ON utilizing the wastes, it is i'm
portant to make some disposition of
the bad eggs, but the private poultry
plant can make the most profitable dis
position of discarded eggs in using
them as feed for the young chicks
Boiled infertile eggs, crumbled shell
and all; raw infertiles, mixed with oat
flakes or bread crumbs or used in
making corn bread for the chicks are
good and cheap feed.

A REMEDY FOR ROUP.

A South Dakota lady has way of
treating her hens for roup that proves
successful. She says: begin doctor
ing my birds as soon as I notice the
slightest indication Of the coming on
of roup. Whenever I hear bird
sneeze take and thoroughly grease
the top of it's head and it's beak with
coal oil and lard, equal parts Of each,
and in addition make it swallow a
small portion Of this mixture. In
case of sore eyes or throat I mix
about one-third of carbo1ic acid and
two-thirds of coal oil, and by means Of
feather wash the throat Of the af-
fected bird and give it soft feed, and
warm milk to drink. Knowing that
drafts in the chicken house are very
dangerous, never allow cracks In
my chicken house. At the same time
I keep the place we'll ventilated, thus
avoiding overheating the hens, which
I consider injurious. ! clean my hen

POULTRY POINTERS.

A bulletin entitled, "The Hens
Place on the Farm" issued by the
Kansas Experiment Station, says:
"The varieties of poultry bred on
the farm seldom include ornamental
varieties, and new breeds are not as
we'll represented as in the yards Of
the fancier. 1t should be borne in
mind that the word Variety used in
this connection, does not mean pure
bred chickens. The subject was in
vestigated in two ways: First, by
ascertaining, from question blanks
sent to farmers, or by personal visits
to farms, the variety of chickens kept;
second, from the opinions of poultry
packers and by actual count of the
chickens in receiving rooms of poultry
packing establishments.
From the studies made, the con-
clusion is drawn that about 10 per cent
of the poultry upon Kansas farms are
entitled to be called pure bred. The
great preponderance of Kansas chick
ems are crosses and grades in which
one breed predominates. Poultry in
which the crossing has been so con-
fused that the product cannot be clas-
sified are listed as mongrels. The fol-
lowing table shows the result of this
investigation:

were visited and the conclusions are
as follows:
'For dressed fowl (hens) Barred
Plymouth Rocks hold unquestioned
first rank. For broilers or roasters
the White Plymouth Rocks and the
White Wyandottes are considered
equally good. BY some packers the
White Wyandottes are ranked first for
broilers
"Outside of the American varieties,
the Indian Games are ranked highest
by those who include them in the
list. The Leghorns are desired for
their yellowish skin and legs and
plump bodies. Some dealers claim
that they equal any chicken where
the trade demands a small carcass. 1t
