fertile eggs, which produce strong
vigorous and hearty chicks. They
Will mott quicker In the fall and
commence TO lay earlier In the sea-
son. For laying hens put several
quarts OF alfalfa meal into a closed
vessel, then pour boiling water over
the meal until It IS thoroughly moist
ened; cover the vessel and let the
mixture steep for awhile. Just be
fore feeding dash a little cold water
over the feed. This brings out the
green color, and makes It as much
like green grass as any winter feed
can be. Some prefer 20 mix the meal
with table scraps or grain, both OF
which add palatability and variety
to the mash. Bone-meal and meat
scraps are also good.-Farmers'

NOTES

When shipping birds long distan-
ces. put a couple of large potatoes or
a mangel.wurtzel or turnip in the
shipping-coOp with the birds Any
OF these will in a measure take the
place of water and supply some nour-
ishment besides.
Food has a grea. deal to do with
the production Of eggs. A her is
only a machine for turning various
kinds of food into eggs, and unless
we furnish this material we need not
expect to get many eggs, for it is
from this that eggs are manufactured.
When the fowls are confined they
are more likely to get into bad hab-
its, such as feather pulling, egg eat
ing. etc. A thrifty, vigorous fowl is
naturally industrious, and if given
something to do it will aid materially
in keeping them out of mischief and
keep them from acquiring bad hab-
its A good scratching shed solves
the problem
Are you sure the eggs from breed
ing pens are fertile? Before selling
any or setting many yourself four or
five eggs or much better an egg from
each hen in the pen should be placed
under broody hen and tested at the
end of a week for fertility. This
is the only quick and sure method
by which you can know whether the
eggs are fertile or not at the opening
OF the breeding season.

WHEN AN EGG is FRBsH.

Doctor Whey, the sage OF the De.
partment OF Agriculture, az a recent
meeting OF n Congressional Committee
which is investigating the cost OF
food, was asked the question when
does an egg cease to be fresh?"
THAT question:" replied the Doc.
tor, u will answer II you tell me
when a pig ceases TO be pig and be
comes a hog?"
Incidentally the Chief Chemist not
only explained, but demonstrated
practically an infalllble method OF
telling when eggs are fresh. He had
a big glass beaker three-quarters
filed with a ten per cent solution Of
table salt. Into this he dropped eggs
All the absolutely fresh eggs inn
mediately sank to the bottom, while
the eggs that weren't quite so fresh
hoated a quarter or third out OF the
water.
He Endorsed his method and said
il was possible thereby TO prosecute
and convict any dealer offering cold
storage eggs as the Strictly fresh"
country variety. Doctor Wiley stated
that he now has only two inspectors
supervising cold storage methods, but
with twenty-five OF them he believes
II possible TO keep a close watch over
the industry all over the country,
and with the adoption of regulations
prescribing the length of time allowed
to food stuffs to remain in storage,
the public would benefit thereby.
He stated it as his belief that with
a tank OF suitable proportion egg
storers could test 5000 eggs at a time
before placing them IN storage, in
order to determine the freshness Of
the product, for unless the egg is
perfectly fresh before being placed
In storage. it will deteriorate rapidly
when placed upon the maket.

CHIEF OF CONGO TRIBE.
Right Of Women to Throne-strange
Beliefs and Superstitions.

70. To-day described 20 the Royal
Anthropological Society recently
the results of a recent chronological
expedition to the Congo Free State
After dealing with the racial divisions
he explained the institutions, govern.
ment and religion of the people Of
the Congo State.
The head Of the tribe was the chief,
but in certain questions his mother
seemed 20 take precedence of him.
His power was nominally absolute,
but in reality very slight. There
were six great officers and host of
smaller officials. The right to the
throne descended in the female line,
but a woman only came to the throne
II the male stock failed. The chief
having the power 20 dislnherit any
likely claimant, and virtually had the
power OF nominating his successor.
The Bu-Shongo believed in an all
powerful creator, but paid no worship
to him, though magic was largely
practised Spiritually man was be-
lieyed to consist OF three elements
soul, double and shadow. The soul
was thought only to leave the body
at death, the double at both death
and sleep and the shadow only at
death. The belief that a corpse
could not cast a shadow was cur
rently held.
Mr.. To-day reported the nearest
approach TO true totemism as yet dis
covered in Africa. For among the
western Bu-shongo, he said, each per
son inherited from his father an
ikina, a plant or animal, which he
might not eat. The ikina had no
connection with tribal names, and
the division into ikina cut across the
division into tribes and villages. Per-
sons possessing the same ikina might
not marry.-LOndon Evening stand

MONEY IN POULTRY.

Did You ever stop to consider the
vast amount of money represented
by fancy poultry throughout the
United States? For instance take the
Chicago show with 5000 birds, the
Missouri State show with 5,2S1 birds,
and the Oklahoma State show with
5000 birds, all held at about the
same time. Place an estimate on
their value, which 1t is safe to say
would be at least $4,000 per head,
or the vast sum of $3.50, $4,000. Then
think of the number OF birds which
these breeders have in their yards at
home and the value that they repre-
sent, and then think of the thousands
and thousands q breeders that did
not exhibit ~ either OF these three
shows and the value OF the birds
owned by them. Do this and then
let any one tell you there is no money
in fancy poultry. Well, we will be
surprised at you OF you do.-Farmers'
Home Journal.

II had no idea OF what the

the coffee and began drinking
Postum. The change came quickly.

tirely well OF the heart trouble and

"A number of my friends have
