New York Law Knocks Cold Storage
Corners Into a Cooked Hat.

According to eastern papers con-
siderable speculation is being In
dulged in about the price of eggs
Several papers have gone so far as to
state that during the coming winter
hen fruit would sell for 60 cents per
dozen at retail. This statement did
not seem to square with local condi-
tons and caused careful examina-
ton to be made of the situation
which seems typical OF the whole
northwest country.
1t was found that out Of thirty
nine cold storage houses reporting,
fully 1876, 900 more cases of eggs
were now in storage than one year
ago at this time. 1t also disclosed
that the excess of butter was H.
100000 pounds. Nothing but rad
ical falling off of the local supply
can cause eggs to raise to the figures
quoted early. Locally eggs are re-
failing for Fl cents per dozen and
this price may be raised somewhat
later in the season.
The situation in New York state is
peculiar on account of a law which
recently went into effect in that
state, which prohibits the sale OF
cold storage eggs at retail unless
they are plainly marked as such.
This is one reason, perhaps, which
has given rise to the wild stories re-
garding excessive prices to be paid
for the morning luxury.

Future Eggs.

Do you know that $3.50, 100000 OF
three-quarters of billion dollars, is
the annual value of the country's
crop of eggs, and that of this vast
sum $15.OOO,0O0 in cash is the an
nual loss to farmers? The reason
for this great loss is that farmers
generally are careless in producing
and handling eggs for sale. An
average of one egg out of five goes
from the farm to the consumer in a
rotten or a spoiled condition so that
it must be thrown away and be-
comes total loss, not counting the
heavy expense of expressing and
handling Besides this, large per-
centage of the eggs goes to dealers
dirty, checked, shrunken and in the
first stages of spelling. Most of
these are sold and used in some way,
but they must be sold at a reduced
price, which reyerts to partial loss to
producers. Eggs for all the seasons
would be much higher in price than
they are at present if farmers would
give more attention to marketing
only fresh eggs

THIS is SEED CORN WEEK.
Farmers Throughout Iowa Are Urged
to Make Careful Selection
This Week.

This is good corn week in Iowa,
and an effort is being made by COM
mercial as well as agricultural inter-
ests to see that extreme care is taken
in the selection and preservation Of
the most important element in the
production OF the great state of Iowa.
The wealth OF Iowa is largely gov
erned by its corn crop, and the proper
selection of seed corn has much to
do with this wealth. Make a care
full selection of seed corn this week,
hang it in a dry place where it VIII
be preserved properly until spring,
and you have already done much
toward insuring yourself d good crop
next year. Start right, and you may
always depend upon results in Iowa.
Select your seed corn this week,
twice as much as you think you will
need.

Watching Numbers ON Automobiles

Special police have been sent out
from Des Moines to see whether or
not the law in reference to automo-
bile numbers is being enforced. A
number of these state officers were
at the Eldora fair and they made
many arrests there. b. Minders, OF
Parkersburg, was one of those ar
rested and fined. He failed to have
a number on the rear end OF his
car. Several others who were driv-
ing under demons trating numbers,
were compelled to pay fine.
1t seems as though there has been
misunderstanding OF the privilege
that a demonstrating number gives
to one who has a dealers license.
1t has been generally understood that
any party taking out dealers Ii
cense had a right to use his dealer
number on any car that belonged 10
him. This seems not to be the case.
The dealers number gives car
dealer the privilege only OF driving
car that he is showing to someone
with view of selling it. The dealer
| If he takes one of his own cars and
takes his family out in it, must have
a private number in order to com
ply with the law. The dealers num-
Der is a business number only and
can be used for no other than bust
ness purposes.
These state officials are liable to
drop into any town and 1t is best to
| be prepared for them.

in getting the flames eXtinguished.
The poor girl was terribly burned

q question. Mason City recently
voted in quite an addition of acre
age to the city. This land had been
taxed for school purposes by the
township ont of which it was taken
and when it became a part of the
municipality the city put on a school
tax, and now the question arises who
should have this tax? OF course 1t
is up to the board of supervisors. 1t
