The Poultry Producers Association

to provide classification and grad

year number of grades were adopted

views of producers and dealers In re-

In the grading of eggs 1t is laid
down as first requirement that they
must all be shipped new laid. A new
laic egg is an egg that is not over
i've days old when shipped, an egg
that has been gathered promptly and

Poultry Runs.

There is more or less dry weather
during the summer. and the runs not
infrequently become baked, and in
heavy soils more or less filthy. The
man who has the best interests Of his
stock at heart will once week use a
hand pillow in such yards and stir up
the soil so as to make 1t loose and
fresh. II he does this at night, the,
next morning the fowls will get at
work, scratching. hunting worms and
stirring up things generally. It IL
wonderful how much they find In this
turned up soil that furnishes them
both amusement and food.

All poultry that are not pure-brea
are not scrubs.
When growing fowls expressly fol
market, many poultrymen prefer cross
breds.
The houses and pens the fowls are
placed in should be scrupulously
clean.
Generally hen with nice. clean
cut head and a full. bright eye will
be good layer.
Crossing an African gander- on Tou-
louise geese Is said to give the largest
sized offspring.
1t is well to consider what is the
best treatment of fowls while they
are passing through the moult.
Fowls always seem to moult earlier
and quicker when they are warm
and in places where they are exposed
to the sun.
When moulting actually commences.
1t is best to feed literally on rations
which are easy OF digestion and rich
in protein.
The cockerels should be culled out
early and sent to market. Pullets viii
develop much better If this is done.
Some hens in every yard are too old
for good service. Have you any?
Good time right now to get rid Of
them.
Among the several varieties of the
Cochin family the Partridge is consid
cred by many to be the most beautiful.
Skinned milk is a good feed not
only for raising calves. and pigs. but
1t is also an excellent feed for raising
chicks and for egg production
1t is as difficult to name the best
breed of fowls as it is to name the
best breed of hogs or sheep. or the
best make of corn planter or cream
separator.
Many people are realizing the profit
in raising heavy geese. as they are
worth more pound than the lighter
breeds and every year there is more
demand for the Toulouse.
OF first Importance is to keep young
stock growing vigorously. Too many
poultry raisers compel their young
stock to shift too much for itself dur.

COOKING THE STEAK
HERE Is AN EXCELLENT METHOD
OF PREPARATION.
sroiled With Mushrooms II Makes
Dish That Any One Will Appre-
eiate-Roast loin Of Lamb
With Green Peas.

Delmonico Steak With Mushrooms,
Steak is the most easily prepared OF
all meats, but it may be utterly spoiled
with bad cooking. Never wash a
steak or season it before 1t is cooked,
as those two things make it tough
and tasteless. A Delmonico steak,
which is the first cut before the por'
terhouse, is a good choice for little
home of two persons. 1t should be at
least an inch thick. and preferably
an inch and a half, for thickness Is
needed to retain the juices. Scrape 1t
with a sharp knife If some cleaning
Is necessary. and then lay it on the
broiler and prepare the mushrooms.
Peel these, take out the stems and
let them soak in cold sailed water for
ten minutes. Then put them In a
porcelain vessel-the little earthen-
ware casseroles are excellent cookers
for these delicate vegetables-put In
a tablespoonful of butter, cover and
let them saute for twenty minutes.
II the butter is likely to cook away
lift the cover Of the vessel and put in
a little more. After the mushrooms
have cooked fifteen minutes put In the
steak to broil, turning 1t quickly 30
that both sides may be scared at
once. This holds in the juices, and II
the rest Of the cooking is done more
slowly the steak will be fine. Medium
done, with a layer of pink In the cen
ter-this is the way the steak must
look when cooked. Lay 1t on q hot
dish, salt, pepper and set the dish In
the oven for three minutes for juices
TO draw. Pour the mushrooms around
It and serve at once.
From a pound and a half to two
pounds Of steak will be needed by
two persona fond of meat. A quar-
ter of pound of mushrooms will
supply the good taste. but II there
are no other vegetables half a pound
will be needed
Roast Loin of Lamb With Green
Peas.-Have the butcher leave the

How James D. Laying Came to De

graph Wire.

Vice-president of the Big Four sys
tenn, second vice-president Of the West
Shore. and at various stages of his
career in important positions with
the Pennsylvania lines and the Chi
cago & Northwestern, the late James
ID. Laying. who died in 1908, was one
OF the great railway managers OF the
last century. He began his railway
career in 1s49 and for upwards of half
century was intimately associated
with the development of American
railways.
When / called upon him one sum-
mer day In 1895. found him twirling
In the fingers of one hand a little ap-
paratus that resembled somewhat a
double ended clothespin. My curiosity
was aroused and / asked him about it.
That" Mr.. Laying replied. after look
Ing steadily at the little instrument
Tor q moment, represents a lost for
tune-probably several millions-any-
way, a great deal of money. It is
what Is called a circuit breaker, and
1t - reproduction Of my first inven-
tive work as a railway manager.
You know, in the early days of rail-
reading, after the telegraph had been
adopted for communicating intelli-
gence and orders. almost all of the
railroad lines west of Pittsburg. and.
In fact many of the lines east of that
point. were equipped with a single
wire of telegraph. Now, IL an acct
dent happened to a train that made
1t necessary to communicate with the
train dispatchers or the general Offices,
the telegraph wire would be cut and q
little Morse instrument. which was
commonly carried on trains, would be
attached to the wire and communica-
ton established. Then, the telegraph
Ing over. the instrument would be ia
ken OF and the wire would be out
OF working order until a lineman
could be sent to repair 1t. Sometimes
that took day.
Well. 1 was on my way from Co
lumbus. O.. to Pittsburg, one day
when, through some delay to our
train. 1t became necessary to cut the
wire and get in touch with Pittsburg.
OF course. when we went on we
left behind US a wire completely out
Of commission.
Sitting In front of me was a wom-
an who had placed a bag on the aisle
floor beside her seat CHANGING at 1t
for the sixth or eighth time. dimly
noticed that she had attached a
bundle to the bag with an old-fash.
Toned clothespin. Suddenly there
