THAT evening we sat on the wide

and listened to the plaintive native
music from the barrio, where q dance
was in full swing.
"Our host has a charming, II lonely
existence. There are fifty native men
in the barrio, whom he oversees at
their work. His household arrange

boys and a cook to keep them 80. It

USE CARE IN STORING EGGS
should Not Be Placed In Close Prox'
Unity to onions or Other Strong
Smelling Vegetables.

Prof. W R. Graham Of the Ontario
,tation says of the flavor. OF eggs and
some of the causes Of low-grade eggs:
Many of us forget that eggs Will ao-
sorb odors as readily as milk but, at
the same time, care should be taken
In keeping the storage-room for eggs
free Of strong odors. For
10 put eggs alongside of onions, tur'
nips or similar strong-smeIling foods
would mean that the eggs would ao-
sorb more or less Of these havors.
Again, the food that a hen con
sumes very materially affects the ma
vor of the eggs. This can be very
% sily demonstrated by feeding costly
scorched grain or giving large guam
titles Of pulped onions in a mash food.
One demonstration will convince any
,ne that eggs have been scorched or
taste of onions. no matter no"
cooked. w
when the hens get but little grain
food during the summer and are
forced to hunt for their living over
manure piles and catch Insects, the
volk will become almost red In color.
These eggs make consumers remark
tbot winter eggs taste better than
summer eggs. Frequently feeding as
above produces a thin, watery white.
and the eggs have not only a bad ma
vor but have poor keeping qualities.
and. moreover, is little better II as
good as a fair picked or cold-storage
egg.

ION the upper deck, however, be-
meath an awning, we were comfortable
enough in steamer chairs.
THAT evening we reached a native
town, very odd with its native straw
huts on stills, and its crazy streets
with cats, strings Of fish and children.
Also cocks and cockpit-and the
Jungle behind 1t all.
There a banca, a clumsy, canoe
shaped native boat, decidedly top

turesque in their scanty attire, and
wearing at their belts knives quite
large enough to make me shudder. We
arrived at the station to see a magn1f-
cent sunset and eat q unique dinner.
On the menu were Of course many
familiar dishes, but besides there were
fried bananas sliced crosswise, thin
and crisp, tasting like eggplant, q
cousin to the cucumber, roasted, a
salad made from cocoanut buds with

Of the boil weevil. In Arkansas and
parts Of Oklahoma they hunt for their
food among the tangles Of the dead
cotton stalks, and they kill out thou
sands Of weevils.
Their presence Is level harmful to
crops at any time in the season, as
they are insect eaters, rarely bother
ing with grain. At the season when
the cotton ground is being broken
they are especially busy among the
dead bolls and stalks of the cotton
patch.
Purple martins, cliff swallows. bank
and barn swallows, quails and q
score Of other birds are tremendous
helps in keeping the prolific weeVil
from smothering the cotton fields out
Of existence. During the periods OF
spring and fall migration, millions OF
birds cross the southern states on
their way from and to the north. and
they reduce the weevils by the mil.
lion.

SHE WEARS SNAKE NECKLACE
Girl Wins Wager Consisting of 80
Pounds Of Candy by Promo
nadfng With Reptiles.

Greeley, Colo.-Two four-foot bull
snakes may be slightly more cumber-
some and hideous to the multitude as
a necklace than chameleons or liz
ards, but Miss Bessie Potter, leader
in the younger society set, won 80
pounds Of candy by wearing the unu-
sual neck adornment on the street.
Miss Potter captured the reptiles on
Wild Cat mountain, and In the pres
ence of friends twined her new pets"
about her neck. Her exhibition sug-
gested the wager. Six Of the party
willingly offered five pounds of choice
candy to see Miss Potter promenade
Ninth avenue carrying live snakes
about her neck.
"a soft bet" declared the girl, who
without a seconds hesitation, carried
out the provisions.
More than 500 stood aghast, and
their willingness to keep at a safe"
distance saved Miss Potter trouble in
making her way. She returned home
and put the reptiles in a box.

HANDLING THE TOMATO CROP
Most Important Part Of tho Work 10
tho Picking, Sorting and Pack
lne-some Good Hints.
By W. H.

The most important part OF thu
handling Of a tomato crop Is the pick.
ing, sorting and packing. II wisely
and carefully done the results will be
very satisfactory.
In handling my tomato crop I first
20 through the field searching closely
for all smooth. sound tomatoes just in
the turning stage-that Is, with a
slight shade of redness in color, yet
green and firm.
I never pick any cracked or disfg.
ured tomatoes to ship to market.
l place only smooth, uniform spect
mems in the crate baskets on their
sides, with the blossom ends up, so as
to show to the best advantage.
I do not crate anything but No. II
in a No. l package and No. 2 quality
in a No. 2 package. Anything inferior
to No. 2 will not pay to crate. By OBJ
serving this rule I am saved the cost
Of many crates, also the transportation
charges on them, as we'll as the labor
of putting them up and obtaining bet
ter prices for what ship.
When picking for the market I aim
to pick only No. 1 fruit. then when
packing there Is not much No. 2 fruit
to pack.
BY not picking the cracked or disfg.
ured fruit green, but letting 1t remain
on the vines to ripen to the right
stage for the canning factory, more
money can usually be realized from II
than If packed to ship.

DESTROY BOIL WEEVIL
Birds Assist Greatly in Holding
Down Cotton Pest.
MeadowIark Is Vlndlctive Enemy OF
Insect, Hunting for Prey Among
Dead StaIks-Never Injurious
to Growing Crops.

Birds Of the woods and fields can
not be expected to kill out the boil
weevil and prevent its spread. but
they can, and do, help greatly. Any
help that planters and the small cot
ton growers may receive from bird
life will aid In controlling this pest Of
the southern agriculturist.
The United States bureau Of bio
logical survey has found that there
are forty-three species of birds that
deVour millions OF boil weevils. The
experts Of this bureau have issued a
bulletin announcing that these birds
are one Of the most important checks
upon the spread Of the weevil.
During the fall migrations Of the
swallows, the orchard and the Balti-
more orioles I have watched these
birds, feeding by the hour on the
weevils that are then flying freely,
says a writer in the Farm Progress
Some Of the birds shot at that time
had as many as thirty-seven weevils
In their crops. and the cliff swallows
that were examined averaged nine
teen weevils to the bird. In a week I
have seen at least $4,000 birds pass
on their fall migration; and these
must have destroyed millions Of these
pests Of the cotton grower.
In Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma
and Tennessee the black birds can be
depended upon to help the planter
greatly in his fight against the weevil.
The crow-b1ackbird. the red-winged
variety, the cow-bird and the brewer
are fairly common in all these states.
Last fall. while I was raking up the
cotton stalks and getting the ground
ready for fall blowing. hundreds Of
blackbirds followed the rake, picking
up every boil weevil that was dis

A WINNING START
A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Makes
Nerve Force for the Day.

Everything goes wrong II the break
fast lies in your stomach like a mud
pie. What you eat does harm If you
can't digest tit turns to poison.
A bright lady teacher found this to
be true, even Of an ordinary light
breakfast Of eggs and toast. She
says
1.-TWO years ago. I. contracted a very
annoying form Of indigestion. My stom-
ach was in such condition that a sim
pie breakfast of fruit, toast and egg
gave me great distress.
81 was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such a simple diet,
but finally had to give 1t up, and found
a great change upon a cup Of hot
Postum and Grape-Nuts with cream,
for my morning meal. For more than
a year I have held to this course and
have not suffered except when injudi-
ciously varying my diet.
Il have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digest
ed breakfast means a saving Of nerv-
Gus force for the entire day. My gain
Of ten pounds in weight also causes
me to want to testify to the value OF
Grape-Nuts.

New York.-A ten dollar bill lost on
Broadway October II Is now In the
hands Of the owner, after having been

lice Commissioner Waldo. More than
1000 persons applied to the commits
