When eggs is eggs" prize hens
naturally are at a premium. So the
theft OF an egg laid by a hen at
Wilkesbarre. Pa, which has won
$4,000 in competition at poultry
shows comes pretty close to classifica-
tion as gilt-edge crime. At least the
owner Of the hen has offered big re-
ward for the capture of the thief and
the return of the egg in undamaged
condition. And the valuable "biddy"
cackles appreciation of the proceed

An Easter Announcement.

Truly at this season of the year the
song from Robert Brownings "Pippa
Passes" comes to our minds with re-
newed intensity:
The years at the spring
The days at the morn;
Mornings at seven;
The hillside's dew pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snairs on the thorn;
Gods in his heaven
Ais right with the world
After the long, cold winter, the very
breath of spring in it's beauty seems
to come to us in the lines above.
Easter but week off, bringing with it
the promise of all things made new,

Lent there have been many court
ships, SO that Eastertide brings many

Feed your pigs often and don't feed
them very much at a time as their
digestive organs cannot manage an
over-feed. Too much feed at once
is very liable to give them scours
Then as the pigs grow older and
larger increase their feed gradually
Always feed them a well-balanced ra-
ton so that they will make plenty of
muscle and bone as we'll as flesh
If pigs are fed much corn they will
soon get too fat, though a little corn
may be fed. They should also be pro-
vided with plenty of good pasture

OVERRIDING The Exposition Business!

lis an open question as to whether or
not the exposition business IS pelns
overdone. Few cities which nave had
one such exposition care for second.
But it is equally true that cities when
have never had an exposition are very
anxious to try the experiment.
At the present time the universal
land international exposition at Brus-
sells in Belgium is about to open. Inc

will be thrown open to the pubic at

celebrated at Putin Bay. The year

in which the Panama Canal will be

Wages Going Up.

When four corporations of the many

proximately $1S,5O0.000 a year. there is
nothing serious the matter with our
industrial condition. To be sure those
four corporations are four of the larg-
est, but the influence of their attitude
is certain to be felt by all the smaller
companies. The United States steel
corporation employing 100000 men has
increased its wages six per cent,
which means that the product must
carry s9,000.000 additional labor cost.

The SUGAR Industry.

The people of the United States in
the year 1908 consumed S1.17 pounds
of sugar per capita and of this vast
amount 1,5S1,O00 tons was imported
because the domestic supply was not
great enough to meet the demand. We
produced 384, 900 tons of beet sugar
and 122O,00O tons of cane sugar. Loui-
|sianna produced $4,000. Porto Rico
245.OOo tons, Hawaii $4,000 and the
Philippines 100000.
Inasmuch as the uses to which sugar
may be profitaby put are increasing
rapidly. there is no reason why the in
dustry in this country should not ex-
pand greatly during the next decade.
| The climate. soil and facilities for
producing and handling sugar here are
such that we may well expect to lead
the world in this industry if the prop
er attention Is given to it.
| The worlds total production of beet
sugar in 1909 was 6,775.O0O tons. while
the cane sugar totalled 7,975,OO0 tons
OF this grand total the United States
did not produce her share last year
but doubtless will do so in the years tc
come. We first took up the manufac.
turc of sugar in 1890, the cane being
introdced in Louisiana and a small
amount of sugar made by a slow ant
crude process. Gradually facilities fol
handling cane improved until it be
came very important industry in tina
