Color of Eggs an Asset.

One of the most potent factors, per-
haps, that should be considered when
selecting a breed for producing eggs
for market Is the demand of the mar
ket at which the eggs are to be dis
posed Of, says The Outing Magazine.
Some markets, notably New York City
and cities Immediately adjacent, pre-
fer white-shelled eggs, and the best
trade in these markets will accept none
other. Boston prefers brown eggs, and
pays a substantial premium for them ;
and, taking the country over, the pref
erence IS for brown eggs by a large
majority. However, In many markets
no preference at all Is expressed; in
fact, those just mentioned are practic-
ally the only markets in which the
color Of the egg receives attention to
the extent of influencing prices. Where
there is a preference, and whichever
the preference is, one should keep a va
riety of fowls that lay eggs of the pre-
ferred color.

Some one has figured out that 1t costs
on the average only one-half as much
to feed horse as 1t does to feed Il
man; and that the horse will do ten
times the amount OF work that 1t Is
possible for the man to do. II this
estimate Is correct, then dollars
worth Of food given the horse will pro-
duce twenty times MS much results as
the same amount Of money will If ex-
pended in feed for a man. Therefore,
when man dOmesticated the horse he
immensely increased his own power Of
securing results. When much farm work
is to be done there should always be
enough horses to do it. Farmers try
to economize Oh the number Of horses
and have to leave much work undone.
In the event Of hired help being scarce.
1t is sometimes possible to offset this
lack by increasing the number of horses
kept. In some parts of the West and
Northwest, declares the Farmers Re-
view. the scarcity Of help has resulted
in more horses being used. Five are
hitched to double plow, and one driv-
er is thus enabled to turn two burrows
at a time and practically double the
work that one man has to do. This Is
the result Of the complete utilization Of
hOrSefleSh.

1t would be impossible to describe the
suspense in which Tom Dimsdale lived
| during these weeks. In vain he tried in
every manner to find some way of tracing
the fugitivcs. He wandered amlessy
about London from one inquiry Office to
another, telling his story and appealing
| for assistance. He advertised in papers
and questioned every one who might
know anything of the matter. There
were none, however, who could help him.
or throw any light upon the mystery. No
one at the Office knew anything of the
movements of the senior partner. To all
inquiries Ezra replied that he had been
ordered by the doctors to seek complete
repose in the country.

about the young fellows health. He ate
nothing, and his sleep was much broken.

piled to one of these outbursts. There

"Ah, so she could She must have for
gotten us. How could She after all that

LET us hope for the best, let us hope
for the best" the doctor would say sooth-
ingly. Yet it must be confessed that he
was considerably staggered by the turn
which things had taken. He had seen so
much of the world in his professional ca
pacity that he had become very reliable
Judge of character All his instincts told
him that Kate Harrison was a true-heart-
ed and well-principled girl. 1t was not in
her nature to leave London and never to
send a single line to her friends to tell
them where or why she had gone. There
must, be was sure. be some good reason
for her silence, and this reason resolved
itself into one of two things-either she
was i'll and unable to hold a pen, or she
had lost her freedom and was restrained
from writing to them. The last suppo-
sition seemed to the doctor to be the more
serious of the two.
Had he known the instability of the
Girdlestone firm, and the necessity they
were under of getting ready money, he
would at once have held the key to the
enigma He had no idea of that. but in
spite of his ignorance he was deeply dis
trustful of both father and son. He knew
and had often deplored the clause in John
Harston's will by which the wards money
reverted to the guardian. Forty thousand
pounds was bait which might tempt
even a wealthy man into crooked paths.

walked along the base it, her fair skin

there was no break in it. There was
one small wooden door on the side which
Wes skirted by the railway line, but it
was locked and impossible. The only
opening through which human being
could pass was that which was guarded
in the manner she had seen. The sicken-

Supt. Maxwell of the New York City
Board of Education, in his annual repor,
urges the formation of department OF
school hygiene. Such department.. he
thinks, should be under the direction OF
medical man, who would rank as au
associate superintendent, and who should
have a sufficient number of physicians to
examine all the children in the public
schools at least once a year. and suffi
cient number of NURSES to visit the
homes of sick children and to care for
slight ailments in school. He says that
New York is the noisiest city in the
world and that children lack proper
amount OF sleep. Owing to crowded
quarters in the tenements and in some
of the public schools as well many chill
dren are crippled by lowered vitality, de
fective sight, defective teeth and othe,
The report says that there are l5S,4Ge

PoIishipu Glassware.

You have heard of many valuable
ways to clean glassware and give to
the pieces a desirable brilliancy, yet
here is method which is a secret"
and certain to give the best results.
Wash the glass pieces and drain until
dry, then coat each piece with a mix
ture of half water and ammonia. When
dry brush the pieces with a soft bris-
tie brush. BE sure and use only the
bristle brush or the polish will not APP
pear. This is excellent for glassware
of any kind and makes old pieces look

Measuring Land by Weight l.

The area of any piece of land, no
matter how irregular the boundary
lines, may be accurately ascertained by
means of a delicate balance as follows !:
Make a drawing of the plat of ground

square rods to | inch. Cut from some
part of the sheet of pasteboard piece
exactly ] inch square, which repre-
sents one acre, or square rods. Also
cut out the plat as drawn. Weigh the
square and the plat. The number of
times the weight of the square is con-
tained in the weight of the plat indi-
Gates the area of the land. For exam
pie, If the square which represents one
acre weighs 20 grains. and the plat
weighs 240 grains, then the plat con-

Loss of Fertility by Leaching.

Land kept constantly as garden
loses much Of its fertility by teaching.
A clover rotation is the best preventive
Of this. There should be at least two
or three garden spots on each farm
kept rich enough so that one years eX-
ira manuring will bring 1t into the
finest possible condition for garden
truck. If farmers could always plant
gardens on two-year clover sod they
would raise better crops and with less
stable manure and other fertilizers
than they now require The clover
does much more than furnish green
manure to ferment in the soil. Its
roots reach down into the subsoil, thus
not only saving and bringing to the
surface plant food that would other
wise be wasted. but also by enlivening
the subsoil. allowing the roots Of crops
to go deeper. Clover sod to begin with.
If we'll enriched, Is best for such crops
as cucnmbers and melons. that are al
ways most likely to suffer from
drought. 1t is quite impossible to make
a good garden crop unless the land has
previously been enriched by series Of
heavy manurings. The fertility lost by
teaching must be constantly renewed.

Making Butter on the Farm.
There are two prime essentials in
making butter on the farm n profitable
business. In the first place. one must
have plenty Of pure cold water, and
then good enough grade must be
turned out to make and hold custom
ers. The trouble with nine out OF every
ten farm homes is they are not equipped
to take care of milk and cream. When
one goes into this work to make
money, better put up milk room,
where pure water may be had from
pumping or from a spring. Concrete
floor and walls may now be built as
cheaply as with lumber. and it is a
great deal better than lumber. Don't
stop here. A barrel churn and a butter
maker will be necessary in turning out
uniform product. 1t looks easy
simply separating the cream, churning
till the butter comes, and sailing, and
the trick Is done. That is where so
many fail. The cream must be churned
at the right temperature; it must be
neither too sweet nor too sour. Work
ing and sailing butter to secure uni
form color and flavor is very nice art.
Don't try to learn to do 1t infallibly
in two or three weeks, but by all means
don't practice on your customers. That
means loss. 1t Is better to wait two or
three months before you seek custom
ers. And, before you ship, find out
how your commission man or private
customers prefer to have their butter
put up. Sometimes the package means
difference Of two or three cents

A Feed Com bine.

Feeding sheep and lambs for the
market is very much Of lottery at
best. 1t is the purpose of the feeder
to buy thin stock and, after feeding it
from sixty to ninety days, return it to
market at a profit This is the hope
that impels him to put in his time and
labor, else he would not do it. There
are three important factors that enter
into the operation. The cost of the
sheep or lambs on the market, the price
of the feed that is to make them fat,
and the condition of the market when
they are returned for slaughter The
first element Is known quantity, but
the second and third are often a
chance. They have proved to be very
much Of chance this season. The
original cost Of the feeders was the
greatest on record, feed was high and
market conditions have not panned out
as good as generally expected.-Drov.
