THE WAY OF BAD EGGS.

The other day a New York firm
which in the past has Dpen doing a
pretty heavy business in riots and
spots" was handed a tne of $500 and
costs for selling rotten eggs in a liquid
form This is but one of a number OF
instances in which the chaps who
make the final disposition of the trash
that is taken in 10y the accomplishing
country merchant from their crooked
customers have been sailed heavily
for violating the recently enacted pure
food law. New York Is the great egg
market of the country. and many of
the commission men doing business
there have notified their correspondents
in western states that they want no
more rotten eggs, that they can't sell
them and if they should attempt to do
so would likely have to go to Jail for it
This is Wholesome news indeed, for it
will put a little more stiffness in the
country merchants backbone and give
him the courage necessary to notify
his patrons that he can use no more
rotten eggs for the very good reason
that he can't in turn load them off on
some dealer In the larger market.
When this notice has been given the
rotten egg nuisance will have been
chased into its hole-the farms and
poultry yards of the country. And
when the keepers OF poultry can get
nothing from the home merchant for
added eggs they will quit taking them
to market and will forthwith set about
correcting the conditions which pro-
rotten eggs. When these condi-
tons shall have been corrected eggs
will sell for much petter prices and
sellers of fresh eggs will get some

AS the mother had expected, she and

from her daughter was not to be de-

A Potato SPECIALISTS WORK.

- NSElHN
Probably no n man has done or is
doing so much for the potato industry
OF the country as Professor c. L.
Fitch. who is the potato specialist of
the Colorado Agricultural college. He
made an exhaustive study into the
origin of American varieties of pota
toes as a foundation study which
would help him in the work he had in
hand of improving Colorado varietie,,
His findings, which of necessity are In

ers in Colorado. but in other sections
Of the country MS well. Among a num-
Der OF interesting facts which PROBES.
sor Fitch has demonstrated perhaps
the most important is that a fungous
growth called riZoc is responsible
chiefly for the tendency in potatoes to
run out The spores of his pest
live on the mature potato in It's place
Of storage during the winter and are
visible as brown Specks or spots on
the surface. but do not usually injure

thread and netiike growth 10 the new
and tender shoots that grow from the
seed piece AS a result these are either
killed outright o. greatly or slightly
weakened, and on those stalks that do
live through the season only runty
tubers are produced Of a low vitality.
Mr. Fitch asserts that most alfalfa
land. as well as land on which pota-
toes have been grown for number
Of years is likely 70 be more or less
infested with this riZoc; hence, treat
ing the seed with the formalin solution
does little good. In his opinion, the
selection of clean seed and having the
soil well drained and giving the grow.
ing crop deep and thorough cultiva-
ton are the best methods Of reducing
damage from riZoc to a minimum.
The addition of fresh manure is not
advisable on land which is to be used
for growing potatoes. Soil which con.
tains a good deal Of sand is freest
from rizoc. and Il is for this reason
that II is so well suited to growing
them. Relative TO the selection of pc
tatoes for seed, Professor Fitch recon
mends those that are comparatively
short and fat for the variety, not
pointed or teated, shallow eyed and
without prominent Jokes or yoke
points; for most varieties recessed a
little at the stem. and If of a red or
pink variety, light in color for the
variety. In the selection of the seed
they should be medium sized and tax.

By EDNA TROWBRIDGE

Viscount Hurleigh was dead, and his
son inherited the title, with the entail
ed estates. Dowager Viscountess Hur.
leigh was now face TO face with q
family problem. Her son was provid-
ed for, but she had Il daughter,
Gladys, for whom there was no pro-
vision whatever and whom her mother
considered entirely incapable of pro-
viding for herself. Lady Gladys had
she been born in America. where new
fields are opening to women every
day and where the daughters in
mere preference. might have done very
well. In England she was bound to
he Il failure. There is just as much
especial fitness for society as any other
department of life. and Lady Gladys
Hurleigh did not possess such fitness.
When the young swells were brought
up and introduced to her they got no
response to their society chitchat and
left her as soon as they could politely
do so. Some Oxford or Cambridge
professor might draw out what there
vas in her, but not the dancing man
of the smart set.
The dowager viscountess was a
practical woman, who instinctively
understood the laws of supply and de-
mand. American women Of fortune
were marrying titles in England, but
she could not recall a single case of
an Englishwoman of noble family
marrying a rich American. British
went to America for their
wives. Why should not a British girl
Of a titled family go to America for a
husband?

THE HIRED MANS VIEWPOINT.


In an article contributed a short time
ago to a northern country weekly pa
per by a bright hired man several sug-
gestions were made that were decid-
edly timely and which. IL needed by
farm proprietors, would do much not
only to solve the hired man problem"
but also to simplify the dairy business
and some other problems that the
farmer has on his hands just now.
The correspondent in question states
that hired men do not kick so much
on the wages they receive as on the
hours which thay are asked to put in
ON so many farms, beginning at 4:30 or
4:45 In the morning with milking the
cows and. after a hard days work in
the field. winding up the day at be-
tween 8 and D o'clock at night with
these same cows. He rightly contends
that II these cows were given the
care which they ought to receive and
which It would pay their owner to
give them they should be MIXED at
intervals of twelve hours apart, instead
Of fifteen and nine. Another excellent
point he makes is that the average
hired man is just human enough that
he appreciates courteous and cordial
treatment from his employer, and that
II 50 treated he win do enough more
and better work to make good interest
on the investment Of such treatment.

Owing to their heavy natural coat
of wool, breeding ewes do not require
the same degree of protection during
the winter as do brood sows, but their
housing should be so arranged that
they can have a dry bed in which to
rest during the day and sleep at night
and will be sheltered from direct
winds and sleet or rains. If these con
ditions are provided they should be al
lowed to range at will during the day
and will be much the better for the
exercise which they get.

Professor Bolley of the North Da-
kota Agricultural college, who has
achieved a national reputation in con-

simple reason that it tends to insure
soil sanitation. He explains the mean.

ton of crops tends to hold in check
