MIDDLE NAMES.

In England middle names were once
illegal. English statutes of other days
were most definite as to the naming OF
children, as will be seen from Coke.
. who states that "a man cannot have
two names of baptism. " i"It is requi,
SITE" states the old English law. that
the person he named by the name of
his baptism and his surname and that
special heed be taken to the name Of
baptism"
Persons of royal extraction In Eng.
land have always been allowed to pos
sess more than one given name. but, II
Is said, SO late as the year 1900 there
were but four persons in all the king
dom who possessed two given names.
Even one hundred and fifty years ago
double names were very uncommon.

Authorities claim that the eggs
from a hen will be fertile for ten
days after the removal of the male
from the flock.
Do not let your young birds roost
with the old hens, as they are liable
to catch diseases which old hens are
more subject to.
All hens which have completed their
second laying season should be dis
posed of at once, to make room for
the young stock.
Save the small potatoes and imper.

vegetables. They will all be relished

Eggs Should BE 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 hen is to go off
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, If
used Immediately, are just as good as
large clear ones, but they will not
sell well on the market, and IL 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 IL pos
sSble. If that number of trips cannot
be made, cooperate with 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 so quickly, but never
theless they do evaporate and the air
cells in them show the Gambler that
they are stale.
Therefore, the more often eggs are
marketed, the greater are the chances
that they will be good.
