HONESDALE VISITED BY
RAILROAD OFFICIALS
They DO Not, However, Tarry Long
i'm Our Pleasant Town.

Quite number of distinguished
railroad officials visited Honesdale
last Friday-President F. B. I'm
derwood. of the Erie Railroad, in his
private car, reaching here late in
the afternoon. He was accompanied
by President l.. F. Loree and Vice
President, c. S. Sims. of the Della
ware and Hudson Company. and
General Manager c. S. Stuart. and
superintendent of Motive Power,
Thomas O'Day. of the Erie. Await
ing them here was the new Superin-
tendent of the Pennsylvania Divis-
ion of the Delaware & Hudson. c.
E. Burr, and Trainmaster, T. H.
Rosenstock, who came over from
Carbondale in President Loree's
private far. After a short consul
tation the ID. & H. officials left for
Wilkes-Barre, where the Erie party
left for New York. The object of
their visit was announced as a tour
of inspection; but from another
source we learn that it was remark
ed that it would decrease railroad
expenses IF Honesdale was not on
the map" By that we presume there
is a movement to make arrange
ments so that Hawley or Carbondale
will be made a terminal point 1t
would not be a surprise if the D.
& H. trains, both passenger and coal
ran through Honesdale to Hawley.
although there are those who claim
that the Erie is seriously consider
ing the tunnelling of the Moosic
mountain with a view of shortening
its route to the west, and that the
D. & H. are anxious to use the
Erie tracks to Binghamton for pas
senger service, using their Ninevah
branch for freight and coal. and in
consideration of the above privilege
will double-track their road from
Honesdale to Waymart, giving the
Erie the right to use the same.

MULBERRIBs.
A Fruit That Deserves More Attention
in Florida Than It Has Had.

For some years past more has been
heard Of the mulberry than before; be-
cause of the use of the tree in forestry
paintings; not so much the planting of
the tree for it's timber-though not
without value in this respect-but for
setting around plantations for protec
tion of the trees within the inclosure.
The Russian, so called, is the one used
for this purpose. The Russian mulberry
is but variety of the alba, but having
become acclimatized to a cold cline it
proved just what our colder States de-
sired, and it is there that it is the most
esteemed. When grown East, alongside
of the alba, the parent type, no differ
ence is apparent. In fact, some Western
1nen say the alba is as hardy with them
as the Russian and appears as good in
every way.
AS a shade tree this mulberry is a
handsome one. and when one sees the
pretty specimens our lawns sometimes
contain it creates a surprise that it is
not oftener planted The sterile form is
particularly desirable, and as mulberries
are readily raised from cuttings, nur-
serymen could have a stock of this kind
to offer The sterile form makes hand
some spreading tree, and in common
with other forms it keeps is foliage
green until the last days of autumn.
Should frosts hold off, it is good green
color until November as far North as
Southern Pennsylvania.
The kinds mentioned-alba and it's va
rieties-are looked to-, to supply their
foliage for the feeding of silkworms
where the industry is undertaken, fresh
leaves being fed to the worms every day.
Teas weeping mulberry is variety
of the Russian, having been found as a
prostrate grower in bed of seedlings.
Anyone wishing curiosity should set
some cuttings of this weeper. The prod
uct will be of trailing nature, quite
a curiosity in the way of growth.
Southern writer's often mention the
large mulberries of their gardens and
the good shade they afford. The ever
bearing kinds-Downing's and Hicks
are often planted for their fruit. Evi
IDENTIFY from their large rough leaves and
our native sort, rubra, not uncommon in
our woods. The fruit of these is much
larger than that of the alba. Tt is not
produced in such great quantities, but
the berries being almost black in color,
they are more sought than those of the
others.
Strangely, while those of the alba
type root freely from cuttings, the cut
tings of the rubra and varieties are
difficult to propagate.

A Chapter On Eggs.

Much has been written about the-influ
ence of food upon the size and quality
of the egg Experiments and investiga
ton along this line have brought out
some curious facts. Tt has been found
that the eggs of the hen are not uniform
in size and shape, though shape is more
a fixed character than size. With hens
laying a tinted egg, the shell is not of
uniform color A hen may lay a dark
egg one day and one considerably light
er the next. Strains and breeds that
have been bred for long time along GER

Have place for the tools and see
that thew are put in their places after
YOU have done using them. Many a
precious moment is wasted on the farm
by failure to observe this good rule.
The Florida agriculturist., 1909-10-01

Caln lines Will lay eggs OF more UNIFORM
color than those that have been promis
cuously bred, and old established breeds
are more certain in this respect than
new breeds. White Leghorns of pure
blood lay chalk white egg, but there
is considerable variation in size and
shape. In some strains there is a strong
tendency for the egg to run off pointed,
and this should be guarded against when
selecting eggs for Matching.
Eggs are formed in the hen in clusters
or punches, each of which is termed
clutch. There may or may not be ces-
sation of laying between two clutches,
but usually there is period of about a
week, and at other times considerable
period. If there is strong activity of the
ovary and no new eggcells are formed,
the hen becomes broody. If Immediate
ly broken up, the organ will set at work
again on the formation of new eggcells,
| if there is in it the ovums from which
these cells are developed. If not, the
hen will simply remain unproductive and
may again contract the broody habit
without laying more eggs.
When a DulIet begins to lay, the eggs
are small, but it will usually be found
that the yolks are of full size. The first
eoo is the smallest, each succeeding one
being little larger until the middle of
the clutch, when they begin to slightly
diminish in size until the end of the
clutch.
Tt has been found that the food has an
| Influence on the quality of the egg, some
foods producing pale and others rich col
ored yoll1s, and foods having pro-
| n hot
to the eggs This has been most noticed
in the case of onions and fish.
While food affects the quality of the
eog, we have failed to determine that it
has any influence on the size. The size
of the cog seems to be controlled. by the
egg producing organs of the hen, and
has it's limitations. Size is a factor in
the market Eggs of good size are al
wavs preferred to smaller ones, vet there
is not much difference in their nutritive
value.
Taking two Leghorn eggs, one large
ond the other small it was found that
the weight of water free matter was al
most identicallv the same in each. Still
we want large eggs, as they present
better appearance and will satisfy the
consumer more completely, but we do
not want extremely large eggs at the
sacrifice of numbers. Tn all things there
is a happy medium. The hen that lays
the extremely large EGG or the one that
laws the abnOrma1lv large one are sell
dom our best layers. The heavy laving
hen usually laws a normal. medium
sized EGG Heavy feeding with the right
kind of feed will increase the egg pro
drctior but we cannot induce the hen to
enlaroe her cog by giving her any special
or extra feed.

the ovarv of the hen, when seen through
the mcroecope. even before it has made
anv deve1onment toward tiny o0-cell
no larger than the head of Din. looks
like pore in the flesh in which there is

rected with other pores by still small

laying begins, and it drops from the
ovary and is caught in the oviduct or
egg passage, where it is surrounded by
the white During the period of laying
these yolks ripen and drop off in regular
succession.
The function of food is to nourisTr
these egg cells so they may develop into
mature eggs, and also to supply the mu-
cous membrane of the oviduct with the
albumen which enyelops the yoll<, and
which is added layer after layer as it
passes along this organ. In the latter
or lower part of this organ the deposit
is of an earthly nature, which forms the
shell. The hen must have all these sub
stances which she uses to prepare her
life germ for entrance into the outer
world, and these substances must be
extracted from the food, so it is plain
that feeding is the most important mat
ter in the care of hens.
The ovum is living organism, and
when it ripens into an egg yolk it has
made one stage of it's growth When the
egg is completed and dropped into the
nest, it has passed into another stage of
growth, and if it is incubated, another
stage is entered upon but if it is incu-
If while in the second stage, in the owl
duct of the hen, it is fertilized by the
sperm of the male, it has the power to
reproduce more life, but, if not, it's mis-
sion ends here. Tt will remain in this
state for a long time, but gradually
evaporates and decomposes, though the
latter process is very slow.
Good laying requires a combination of
Good conditions. To secure large eggs
we must have hens with fully developed
