ARIZONA'S SENATORS.

No state in the union presents such
an astounding variety and amplitude
of talent to the United States senate
as Arizona. There is good old
a colored brother in the Willard
House elevator who replies impolite-

carried past the floor where the SEN
ator desired to disembark Then he
autos down to the senate chamber
and whacks $15O,OOO for Arizona out

eight-hour law, and reciprocity, and
the building of battleships and other
trifling and inconsequent issues. Not
so with Henry. He saddles his Pc
gaSus and, with rhetorical spurs
makes him soar into the very acme
of the empyrean. He has what
the New York Sun calls "a haunting
facility of expression" To quote
the discriminating words of praise
bestowed upon him by a Montana ad-
mirer, ''He can spout the English lam

that no one can take part without hay-

themselves in a circle. with leader in
the center. who gives to every one the
name of fruit, also number and i'm
mediately counts also a number. He
then calls out a number and immedi.
ately counts 10 very rapidly. The per
son who has the number must answer
with his fruit name before the leader
stops counting. II he does not do this
he has to give up his seat to the lead

leader continues with other numbers
until he catches some one Every lit

To which the reply is:

And he neither laughs nor smiles,
In spite OF all your cunning wlles,

holds as in the running OF any other
manufacturing plant-it is run most

Everyone who feeds cows should
know first of all, that the animal
must use a certain portion Of her food
to maintain the body THIS is the
first requirement of the animal. and it
is the first use to which It puts ITS

maintenance, and It is practically a
fixed charge. That is. it is practically
the same whether the animal is oe

or Is merely kept without producing
any milk at all
1t should be clear that after going
to the expense OF giving the animal
the necessary amount to keep her
alive it is the poorest economy to re

SELL ONLY THE FRESH EGGS
Some Farmers Deliberately Impose on
Small Merchants by Giving
Goods Known to Be Stale.
By A. @. PHILLIPS, Kansas)

By A. @. PHILLIPS, Kansas)
Selling eggs is one OF the handiest
ways for the farmer to get a cash
or trade return for his produce, during
all parts OF the year. and II he can
increase the efficiency OF the machin-
cry which produces and handles these
eggs he is putting into his pocket good
hard cash.
Almost every housewife who is
compelled to buy eggs constantly
clamors for some method which she
may pursue in order to always get
fresh eggs. There is no housewife
who has not some time or other had
the great displeasure of handling spoil
ed or rotten eggs. This almost con-
stant occurrence, with the possible
exception OF the winter months, prac-
tically compels those who lecture and
carry on experiment station work to
plead with the farmers who produce
the eggs to put onto the market bet
ter produce.
The egg loss each year is enormous
and is beyond all reasonable justifica-
tion, and the blame lies, at least in
part, with the farmer for the following
two reasons:
First, some few farmers deliberate
ly take to market eggs which they
know are not fresh, because they know

terial which has been accumulated in

AS a rule, all heavy-milking cows
decline in weight for the first two or
three weeks, and occasionally for ten
weeks, after calving This means that
milk production has been in excess OF

same thing happens in the case Of a
COW that is not being fed a sufficient
ration for the amount Of milk she is
producing. She may continue to pro

Eggs SnouIo DC packed IN Neat cases
that the merchant is compelled to take
them or lose their trade. Second, and
by far the greatest reason, is because
of ignorance on the part OF the farm
er as to what and how to sell eggs.
When the hens on the farm are
producing enough eggs to warrant the
farmers taking them to town, ar
rangements should be made to handle
all Of them properly. A convenient
and clean place should be provided
wherein the hens can lay. The nat
ural tendency of a hen is to go of
in the weeds and make her nest. This
should not be tolerated and any eggs
found in such places should be marked
and kept at home.
When the clean, fresh eggs are
battered they should be put in a
clean, dry, cool place until marketed.
Even though the place is clean and
cool, If It is not dry, molds, etc. will
commence development and the eggs
will soon spoil If the eggs become
damp and they happen to be in con-
tact with any colored material they
will Immediately become stained.
Good egg cases in a cool, dry. clean
place kept up off OF the floor, make
an excellent receptacle in which to
keep eggs previous TO marketing.
Before these eggs are set aside for
market, they should be gone over by
the farmer as he collects them, and
all small, stained, dirty, doubtful, in
cubator and rotten eggs should be
removed. Small and dirty eggs, II
used Immediately, are just as good as
large clear ones, but they will not
sell well on the market, and II sent
IN with good eggs will spoil the trade.
Therefore, they should be kept and
used at home. No eggs should be
washed, for the packers claim they
will not keep well. All eggs from
stolen nests. whose freshness is doubt.
full, and all incubator eggs should
either be thrown away. boiled for the
little chicks or used at home. They
should never be sent to market. Rot
ten eggs need not be discussed Any
person who will send one to market
deserves all the penalty possible from
the pure-food law.
When eggs have been properly
gathered, handled and kept previous
to taking to market, the question
Of the number Of trips to town should
be considered. In hot weather the
eggs should be marketed two or three
times per week, and oftener II pos
sible. II that number Of trips cannot
be made, cooperate with a neighbor
and have him alternate days in the
trips which must be made.
In the fall and spring eggs should
be marketed at least once a week.
Many buyers have had trouble in No
vember with eggs classed as held
eggs" These are common, because
most farmers believe that after frost
eggs will not rot 30 quickly, but never
theless they do evaporate and the air
cells in them show the candler that
they are stale.
Therefore, the more often eggs are
marketed, the greater are the chances
that they will be good.

The first line illustrates the proper
feeding of heavy-producing COW,
which is usually the one underfed
The line A to c represents the total
capacity OF the animal for food. or a
full ration. The first half, from \ to
B, represents the amount Of food re-
quired to maintain the animals body,
or the ration OF maintenance. The
second half, that portion from b to c.,
represents the portion OF food used
for the production OF milk In 'his
case there is no fat being produced on

posed to be OF such dairy quality that

tion Of maintenance remains practic-
ally the same as in the first case. The
cut Of onefourth will be seen to come
entirely on that available for milk pro
duction, and reduces that amount one
half.
Suppose that the ration Of such a
COW be still further reduced to one
half of the full ration, or that re-
quired for maintenance alone, as rep
resented by the third line In this
case the cutting down OF the ration

is capable Of utilizing for milk pro.

is not utilized for milk production. but
