this, the bad eggs are charged against

nothing.
The department argues that the In

mately react to their own good. It also
is urged that cash be paid for eggs
instead Of offering merchandise in re-
turn.

fects would affect the use Of the egg
for cooking purposes. Active efforts
are being made to bring about more
extensive use of the various preserv-
ing processes. DR. DooIittle, acting
chief OF the pure food board, IS an en-
thusiast on this subject, and probably
will institute an extensive campaign
for the PRONUNCIATION Of the process

A table Of prices Of eggs since 1906
shows how steady has been the rise.
In 1907 there was an artificial rise,
probably on account Of the panic,

SCIENTIFIC plan
TO KEEP down
EGG PRICES
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT HE-
LiEvEs FARMERS WILL
BENEFIT sY IL


Washington. Sept. 8. Eggs have
doubled IN price during the past ten
years, but if the agricultural depart
ment Is successful in the movement 1t
is undertaking to teach the scientific
production and handling Of eggs, it Is
expected the present price win be
greatly reduced.
Over $45.OOO,OOO worth of eggs an
nually are lost from causes which are
preventable according TO estimates Of
the department Onethird Of this loss
Is due to the premature development
Of the embryo chick. Farmers are
urged by the agricultural experts to
segegate the roosters after June i,
and SO eliminate this Loss. This sim
pie expedient, they declare. would be
effective and equivalent to saving Of
as much as three cents dozen on
the marketed eggs. The fertile eggs
keep longer with less care and it is
declared are produced equally as
abundantly.
Almost another third of the loss ID
due to habit Of farmers and egg
dealers Of holding back eggs during
the fall months Prices are then RAJ
pidly advancing, and in the belief that
a great8f return will be eralized, the
eggs are not allowed to go on the mar
ket when they are flesh. Owing to
the porous construction of an egg
she'll, moisture can evaporate through
II. The result OF holding the eggs,
therefore, is to cause a shrinkage Of
the contents, reducing their value
and preventing their sale in the bet
ter class Of markets. If the farmers
would discontinue this practice the
agricultural experts DECLARE they ac-
tually would get more for their eggs.
Dirty eggs are the cause Of a loss
OF nearly two per cent Of the entire
crop produced. Broken eggs cause a
like loss. Both Of these factors are
preventable Contrary to general
opinion, only about three per cent, Of
all the eggs are lost on account Of

The ordinary form Of ''bad" egg is
the least dangerous, and possibly the

comparatively large pores OF the egg

GEORGE I. BAER
TO Retire
SOON
PRESIDENT Of PHILADELPHIA
AND READlNcs sIs REMARK
ABLE MAN

Philadelphia, Sept. 6.George F,
Baer, president Of the Philadelphia
and Reading Railway company, will
attain his SEVENTEEN year on the
twenty-sixth day Of this month. Ac.
cording to the rules OF the company's
pension system he will then cease
to be the active head Of the great
railroad and coal properties Of the
Reading company SO far no official
announcement has been made con-
corning Mr. Baer's prospective retire
ment. It is not believed, however,
that any exception to the retirement
rule will be made in his case and 1t
is expected that he will relinQuish
his duties as president as soon as
satisfactory arrangements can be
made in regards to his successor.
The retirement Of Mr.. Baer will re.
move from the active ranks one Of
the most dominant figures in Ameri-
can railroad and industrial circles.
For more than 40 years he has had an
intimate connection with Pennsylva-
Mas leading industries and during
nearly half Of that period he may be
said to have guided the destinies of
the whole field of anthracite coal
mining and the numerous allied indus
tries.
Mr.. Baer is a native son Of Penn
sylvania, having been born in the
town Of Somerset in 1912. At the
age Of 1S he quit school to learn the
printers trade. He saved his small
earnings with a view to attending col.
lege and securing a legal education,
This plan was interrupted by the civ,
il war. In 1862 Mr.. Baer went to
the front as captain of a company Of
volunteers. After the close Of the
war he resumed his law studies and
was admitted to the bar in 1865.
In 1870 Mr.. Baer, who had already
attained prominence in his prdfes
sion though not yet 80 years old, pro
secuted an action for damages
against the Reading railroad 50 ably
and successfully that he was mads
counsel for the railroad company II
this position he was able to extent
the field Of his operations, and 81
successfully did he embrace the op
portunities offered to him, that he
soon became an important factor IN
many industrial and financial enter
prises and especially in coal mining
companies.
For a considerable time Mr.. Bael
was the confidential adviser of J.
Pierpont Morgan The two co-operat
ed in the plan to unite under one
management Of the coal-carrying rail
roads with terminals in New York
City. When the reorganization took
place in 1901 Mr.. Baer was elected

Water in the Roads.

There is considerable complaint
being made about water being run in
ley, Especially is complaint made
of the road leading to the Yerington
Copper mine This road has been so
full of water on recent occasions that
it was impossible for ore teams to
get over it, 1t would seem that the
water users would be more careful
of water in season when it is so
short. also that they would assist
rather than retard the shipping of ore.
which means development of the
mines and consequently more sale for
produce at good prices and the en-
HANGED value of farm lands.

GYPSUM BUILDING BLOCKS.
New Material Being Tried That Will
Aid the House Builder.

The Carson Appeal says that at the
Nevada Gypsum Company's works at
the Mound House there is a new ex-
pertinent being tried that promises a
cheap and most durable building ma
terial. that will make a substantial
house and one that can be easily
erected. The company is expert
menting with building blocks made of
gypsum, or plaster of Paris. Instead
of mixing with sand or other mate
rials, the hard wall plaster is used 1t
is reduced to a paste so that it will
pour. This is then turned into molds
where it is allowed to set By this
means the blocks are made exactly
true, they do not shrink. and make a
light yet durable building material
that excludes cold and retains the heat
of the rooms The cost of the mate
from all appearances it will in the near
future be rival to the stone and con
crete building material Several
thousand of these blocks have. been
manufactured at the Mound House.
1t is possible while manufacturing to
make the blocks any color desired
This does away with painting as the
color when in the blocks is practi-
cally everlasting The material is also
one of the best non-conductors known
Refined gypsum is now demanded in
every modern house that is erected
1t keeps the nearby factory hustling
with two shifts to keep up with the
orders. and with this new utility com
ing into the market there will be lots
of additional work at the factory. 1t
is understood that an experimental
house is to be erected in Carson of
the blocks. 1t is conceded to be cheap
er than lumber and far more durable
The blocks now manufactured are uni
form i'll size. as hard as rock, and from
all appearances will make an ideal
building. As the supply of the mate
rial is inexhaustible at this quarry
and others in the State it may be that
the owners OF gypsum properties will
be i'll the money when this material
becomes universally used for build
ing houses
