BIG LOSS DUE TO BAD EGGS
Hen Owner Might Increase His
Profit Through Care.
SOME FIGURES FROM WASHINGTON
Bureau of Animal Industry Issues n
Circular Bulletin Dealing with
Ia AtAtter In Its Vari-
Gus Phases.

The bureau of animal industry of the
Department of Agriculture has Just issued
a circular by Milo M. Hastings presenting
the results of a rudy made during the last
year Of the conditions surrounding the pro-
duction and marketing of eggs, with a view
TO determining the causes of deterioration
in quality and consequent loss, II appears
that there Is an enormous loss due to the
spelling Of eggs, which could be largely
prevented by improved methods, and in
this article the causes OF such loss are
pointed out and suggestions made for rem
edying them
According to Mr.. Hastings the bulk Of
the poultry wealth OF the United States is
20 be found on the general farms of the
Mississippi valley. Some idea of the growth
OF the poultry industry on these general
farms is shown In the case of the state Of
Kansas, where exclusive poultry farms are
practically unknown. yet the value OF poul-
try and eggs sold has increased over $1,000
OO each year for the last five years.
Figures ON Actual Loss.
The total loss to the egg trade caused by
needless deterioration runs into large fig
ures. The causes of the losses and their
estimated proportion to the total crop value
are summed up as follows: Dirty eggs, 2
per cent; breakAge. 2 per cent; chick de-
yelopment or heated eggs, 8 per cent;
shrunken or held eggs, s per cent; rotten
eggs, 2.6 per cent; moldy or bad flavor,
e.5 per cent; total, II per cent.
The loss from chick development or
heated eggs is probably greater than from
any other source. and is especially heavy
during the summer in the south and west
where Il amounts TO 25 or 30 per cent of
the eggs produced during the heated sea-
SON. The responsibility for heated eggs is
almost wholly with the farmer, although
the rural buyer and the freight handler
are in nowise Innocent.
ITO save the millions OF dollars which
are carried down our sewers in the shape
OF bad eggs says Mr., Hastings, 1--WE must
have, first, a campaign Of education
among egg producers that will show every
farmers wife that when eggs are allowed
10 remain in damp nests, under broody
hens. or in hot kitchens there is a loss in
quality which means an actual loss In
money to herself and to her neighbors;

and secondly, a system of buying eggs that
will as nearly as possible recompense every
producer who sells eggs exactly in accord
ance with what those eggs are worth.
Above all else, the infallible rule concern
ing the marketing of eggs is for the
farmer to sell his eggs as soon as possible
after they are laid"

Cost to ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

In the opinion of Mr.. Hastings. the great
est handicap to the egg trade is the general
store. with its custom of bartering mer-
chandise for eggs. The storekeeper reckons
his profit on goods as more than his loss
on eggs, He does not try to enforce i'm
provement upon his patrons by buying
on a quality basis, and with the advan-
tage his peculiar position gives him he
keeps the other egg buyer from doing so.

various phases of the egg industry. and

World Conservation,

This, the western hemisphere, has an
immense array Of convincing object
lessons furnished by the countries that
sustained the ancient civilizations of
Europe and Asia as to the righteous
ness and wisdom of the conservation
policy which Mr. Roosevelt has been
so insistently urging. Some of the
mountainous areas in the older sec
tions of the old world, once covered
with forests of cedar, spruce and oak,
are now bare of tree life and in conse-
quence are bare of soil. When these
once thriving hill regions We're en-
tirely shorn of forest growth the rains
and the floods soon melted away the
soil.
Much may yet be accomplished in
the way of conserving economy in the
sections of the earth where mankind
has for many centuries been drafting
upon the stored-up resources, and the
invitation which President Roosevelt
formally extended to foreign powers to
participate with this country in a
world conservation convention, to be
held at The Hague, will undoubtedly
meet with such a responsive accept
ance as its importance deserves.
The conference, which is set for
next September, while not planned
especially with the thought of promot-
ing world peace, will in it's practical
effects work to the conservation of
peace and good will among the ma
tions. 1t is full of hopeful promise
that world conventions are being called
in these twentieth century days to
consider schemes for the betterment
of human kind, rather than for arrang-
ing the rules and regulations of the
international war game. 1t is a most
beneficial augury that world attention
is being directed to methods of preser-
vation and restoration rather than to
methods of destruction. There may
not be very numerous signs of the
coming of the great peace millennium,
but surely the assembling of The
Hague conservation congress will con.
| stitute one sign.

Secret Service Bubble

President Roosevelt probed the
probers. He progged the report rem
dered by Senator Hemenway, of the
senate committee of appropriations,
and let out all the material of imitation.
The result has been a collapse of one
of the most improbable stories of in
sidious conspiracy against the free.
dom of citizens from espionage that
was ever concocted 1t is charitable
to those who pictured the secret serv-
ice men marching along in a serried
column 5000 strong and with banners
Haunting to the breeze appropriation
figures of $20,000,000 to believe they
were so overcome by the surcharged
atmosphere of the senate chamber as
to be incapable of seeing facts singly
and in order.
Mr.. Roosevelt said simply that in
stead of an increase of the secret
service since McKinley's time from
167 to 5000, there has been an in
crease from 1900 to 1900; instead of
an increase in expenditure of twenty
fold or more, the increase has been
less than so per cent. With these
matters of fact let the anti-secret serv-
ice agitation be dismissed. But not

recommendation for placing the force
under the department of justice, a
plan that, seemingly without the sen
ate's knowledge, has been repeatedly
urged by Mr.. Roosevelt.

OUTLAY IN TIME OF PEACE.
Immense Sum Annually Expended by
the United States.

The army appropriation bill, which
has passed the senate, provides for an
expenditure of $103 100000 for the next
fiscal year The navy bill appropriates
$l37, 100000, The total is S240, 900 600,
which is within a few millions of the
military and naval estimate of the
German empire for the year ended
March 81, 1908. Germany is a great
military empire. We are republic at
peace, protesting and maintaining a
policy of peace The total enlisted
strength of our army is 1900, staff
and line. The peace strength of the
German army includes about 614.O0O
combatants of all ranks. Evidently a
mark in Germany goes farther than a
dollar in the United States in provid.
ing for the maintenance of land forces,
We are not aware that the American
people complain particularly Of the
cost of their army and navy. 1t is a
fair subject for inquiry, however.
whether with the example OF Germany
before us, ways of reducing expendi-
ture without reducing effective force
might be discovered
But even i'll time of peace we are
paying a tremendous bill of costs for
past wars. The pension bill, as it
passed the senate appropriates S162.,
100000. Pensions, army and navy. will
use up $4O0,0OO,OO0 of the taxpayers
money in the fiscal year ending June
80, 1910 Our expenditure for pensions

vious to accepting the place in Mr.
Taft's cabinet he was general counsel
for the Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany. When not living in Chicago,
Mr.. Dickinson makes his home at the
Hermitage, the estate upon the out
skirts of Nashville, Tenn, once the
property of Andrew Jackson. Like
Mr. Roosevelt, he is very fond of
hunting and fishing. Though a Demo-
crat, Mr. Dickinson has always been
an opponent of Bryan.
Wilson Retains His Place.
Only one member of the Roosevelt
cabinet retains his portfolio under
Mr.. Taft. That is James Wilson of
Iowa, secretary of agriculture. So ex-
cellent had been his work in that posi-
tion that there was no serious talk of
making change. Born in Scotland in
1885, Mr.. Wilson came to the United
States in 1852 and three years later
settled in Iowa. In 1861 he engaged in
farming in Tama county. He was
member of the Iowa assembly for
three sessions and speaker of the
house for one session, and also was
member of the Iowa state railway
commission. In 1873 he was elected
to congress, serving two terms, and
was sent to the national legislature
again for one term in 1883. He was
regent OF the State university of
Iowa in 1S70-74, and in 1890 was
made director of the agricultural ex-
pertinent station and professor of agri-
culture at the Iowa Agricultural col
lege, Ames, la. In 1897 he became
secretary of agriculture.
Postmaster General Hitchcock.
The first cabinet officer selected by
Mr.. Taft after his election was Frank
H. Hitchcock of Massachusetts, who
gave up his place as first assistant
postmaster general to manage success
fully the Taft presidential campaign.
He has been given the office of post
master general in the new cabinet.
Mr.. Hitchcock was born at Amherst,
o. in 1867, and graduated from Har-
ward in 1891 and from Columbia Law
school in 1894. Since 1891 he has
been government official, having
served at different times as chief of
the division of foreign markets of the
department Of agriculture; chief clerk
of the department of commerce and
labor, member of the government ex-
position board and first assistant post
master general. He is a member of
many scientific and social organiza-
tions and is the author of numerous
bulletins, reports and circulars on for
eign trade and customs tariffs. His
work in the post-office department un-
der President Roosevelt was especial,
ly noteworthy.

UPHOLD REEDS RULE
CoNoREssMEN RECOGNIZE RIGHT
OF MAJORITY.
Order of Congressional Procedure, as
Laid Down by Great Repub-
Iican, viii &c Retained
by Lower House.

Mr.. Hepburn's valedctory was on
the subject of the rules. He spoke
from personal experience Of both the
old rules and the new. He retired
after a long service, and in a mood
which made him hope for new order
of procedure in the making of laws.
In speaking of the Reed rules-the
present rules--Mr. Hepburn described
them as made for The mob. That is TO
say, they were made TO rescue the
house from the power Of the mob. The
language is strong. but not too strong.
Under the old rules the house could
be, and often was, thrown into the ut
most disorder by members so dis
posed. a premium was put upon OBJ
struction. At times all that the
speaker possessed was the gavel in
his hand, and that was only weapon
for pounding the desk. The mob held
the field.
Mr Reed. who was both a resOlute
and an astute man. sew his oppor-
tunity when he became speaker and
improved it. To be OF the proper serv-
ice he must have some authority. He
must be the speaker in fact as well as
in name. As he thought, the majority,
through the speaker, should be able to
do business at all times. The argu-
ment was sound, and the new house
supported him in the position he took,
Those who Witnessed the Inaugural
tion of the new policy must retain a
1f,-,Itr Of he
weeks there was almost a daily col
lision between the speaker and the
minority leaders, and on several oc-
casions a riot looked likely. But time
and public opinion came to the speak
eT's aid, and the new rules prevailed.
Nineteen years have passed, and Mr..
Hepburn holds that experience has
shown the necessity for changes in
the rules then adopted. The mob
spirit, he thinks, has been permanent
ly quelled. 1t is the general desire
now that the house do business, and
with that end in view he favors modi-
tications of the present procedure, al
though he is Withdrawing from the
scene.
Inc SUBJECT, Tor year or more, mas

next December it may come up for ac-
tion of some kind. But two things will
probably mark whatever action is
taken; % Provision will be mad !
against the power Of mere obstruc-
ton, and (2) the majority will shape
the changes ordered. A return to the
old mob methods is out Of the ques-
ton, and equally undesirable would it
be for the Republicans 10 so divide as
to lose exclusive control OF the situa-
tion.
With Mr.. Cannon in the chair again,
and up-to-date rules in force, the bust
ness OF the new house should be trans
acted swiftly, smoothly and satisfac-
torily.

TAFT AND TRUST LEGISLATION,
President Recognizes Necessity for
Change in the Laws.

In recent speech President Taft
touched upon what is TO be the ques.
tion of questions in this government.
The question of private property, its
limitations. and its relations to our
present civilization and institutions
formed the subject of his address. He
asserted that with the exception OF
personal liberty, the institution of
private property has had more to do
with the upbuilding of the race than
any other institution He recognized,
however, that conditions had changed
the last few years, making necessary
change in the laws of administration
governing the control and use of pri.
vate property. AS a solution of the
problem, there are those, on the one
hand who would destroy all private
property and make impossible all com.
binations of capital. On the other
hand, there are those who would let
well enough alone. and allow the ut.
most liberty in these combinations.
The problem TO be worked out is ito
lay the line of limitation which shall
interfere as little as possible with in.
dividualism and freedom of property
on the one hand, and shall stay the
progress toward injurious combination
and injurious monopoly on the other"
