Testing Eggs.

substantially increased by establishing
a private trade in eggs of good quality
with hotels, restaurants, ETC., in towns
and cities.
A good homemade egg tester or
Gambler can be made from a large
shoe box, or any box that is large
enough to go over a lamp, by remov-
ing an end and cutting a hole a little
larger than the size of a quarter in
the side of the box, SO that when it
is set over a common kerosene lamp
the hole will be opposite the blaze.
A hole the size of a silver dollar should
be cut in the top of the box to allow
the heat to escape.
A fresh egg held at the hole oppo-
site the blaze of the lamp will show
perfectly clear through the shell. A
stale or bad egg will show dark spots.
This egg tester may be used with
excellent results in determining
whether eggs are fertile or infertile.
Many eggs that are laid in late winter
and early spring are infertile. For
this reason it is advisable, when set.
ting time comes, to re- several hens at
the same time. After the eggs have
been under the hen for seven days
they should be tested to see whether
they are fertile or infertile. Infertile
eggs should be removed and used al
home in cooking, for they are just as
good as others, and the fertile eggs

And yet again experiment.

HINTS OF HORSES AND MULES
Pleasure and Inspiration in Breeding
and Handling of High Class Ami
mals-Money in Drafters.

In the fields a big team makes haste
by the width of the furrow or swath
they cut.
There is pleasure and inspiration
in the business of breeding and hand
ling high class horses.
Bear in mind in breeding horses
that it is just as essential to breed
good feet on to them as to get weight
and blood in them.
The pure bred mare is a good in
vestment to the small farmer, and II
he will allow her to share the work
of the place she will do nearly as
much work as a gelding, and raise a
good colt beside
The drafter can make more money
by his great efficiency at heavy work
than the light horse can by his greater
speed On the road.
Nowadays farmers are awakening to
the act that it k strong horses to
do good work on the farm.
The stall-foor in the horse stables
should be level; inclined planes are
injurious. The horse is forced to
stand in a cramped position. and if
continued through a lumber of years,
generally becomes permanently dis
abled.
1t does not matter so much h
sort of a floor is put in. as the care
taken of it. Plenty of bedding must
be used at all times. If cement is
used. rough-furnish it to prevent slip
ping and Gripping.
Wooden floors are too dry, and have
and injurious effect upon the hoofs;
beside there is the ever present dan
ger of splintering.
A clay floor. tamped down well, and
then covered with cinders. makes an
ideal floor for such stalls.
The man who will put frosty bride
bits in the horses mouth ought to
have the same frosty pair rammed
into his own mouth a few times To
show him Just how 1t feels.

MORE MONEY IN EGGS
Improper Handling Causes Loss
of Millions of Dollars
Good Homemade Gambler Can Be
Made From Box That Is Large
Enough to Cover Lamp-Ex-
celIent Results Secured.

The improper handling of eggs
throughout the country causes an
enormous loss, the amount extending
into many millions of dollars annually.
1t is an established fact that strictly
fresh eggs command a higher price
than those commonly designated as
store eggs, and if the farmer, who is
the largest producer of this we'll
known perishable commodity, would
take more care in selecting, grading
and marketing this product he would
receive a price higher than the aver
age market one for his eggs. On
many farms throughout the country
the money derived from the sale of
poultry and eggs buys the groceries
and clothing for the entire family.
The money from this source may be

BILE. but where this is not available
a portion of one of the regular farm
buildings may be utilized. One side
of a wagon shed can frequently be de-
voted to this purpose. A work bench
can be fitted up n provision made
for the care of tools n supplies. An
abundance of light in the work shop
is essential to good work, and as
much of the repair work will be done

h year is dying in the hight;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow,
The year is going, let him 90:
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more,
Ring out the feud Of rich and poor,
Rims in redress to all mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause.
And ancient forms Of party strife;
Ring in the nObler modes Of life,
With sWeeter manners. purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care. the sin,
The faithleSS COldneSS Of the times;
Ring out, ring out my mOurnful rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
RIM out the false pride in place and blood.
The civic SANDER and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love Of good
Ring out old shapes Of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust Of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars Of old,
Ring in the thousand years Of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free.

Ring in the Christ that is to be.

CHANGING THE WORLDS SHIP
 PING MAP.

Mammoth dredgeS that have been eating their way for months through the barriers which ma ture established between the At- lantic and Pacific in prehistoric ages. have practically completed their work, and, with the use of a little dynamite will have paved the way for sliding the trade of the world along new route.
 This is the most conspicuous, tha most marvellous, example of the influence of the race upon the evolution of the globe. But it is only an incident of the process which has been going on for many years. Counting by cen turies, it is wonderful; measured by the shorter span of genera tions, we must note the stupen- dOus acceleration of the advance within even the life of men now remaining upon the field of ac- ton.
 In the lifetime of men still in their prime, the Atlantic and Pa cific seaboards were separated by vast, wild regions over which communication was possible only by slow moving trains of wagons or broken stage routes. Palace cars from the Atlantic to the Pa cific today carry tourists past stupendous fields of cultivation into resorts of natural beauty unequaled upon the face of the earth, and loaded trains bring to the Eastern consumers the sub tropical fruits of that prolific land.

RAISING A BOY ON HARD KNOCKS.

M An inquiry into the questi of swhy a boy thrives on hard knocks Shas been undertaken, with grow ing wonderment, by a parent who only recently discovered that such theme is a reasonable pos sibility. A long list of anxious parents will greet his findings with an active curiosity stimu- lated by personal interest.
 It is, indeed, easier to produce the proof of the proposition than to indicate the cause, which has more diverging angles than the surface solution would indicate.
 Parents who have reared a del- icate child and watched him grow to school age in hourly fear that he may be bumped severely by some rude boy, have marveled at the robust change that comes Ov- er hi when he comes in contact with the rough and tumble world bl StIiOol ll1C.
 The volunteer investigator will be asked to explain why a boy may be pulled by the leg over block of hard, graveled play ground, and come home glow ing with health and hungry for dinner. He will be asked to i'm form a waiting world why it helps boy when his playmates throw him through confection- CTS display window. Why should a boy fall off the roof of a wood- shed and thrive on it? Why should youths appetite be stimulated when twenty boys pile up on him in a football scrim- mage If it requires great care to raise delicate child, why should the same child thrive when he is banged about like a dice in a box?
 These are questions that fond parents have asked themselves, in daZed beWilderment: parents who have seni their child to school in fear and trembling, and watch ed him. with surprise, grow to rugged health by dint of sundry bangs and bu1l'eIingS.
 There is a great deal of expert testimony along this line that would prove highly interesting 10 parents who have been gropins blindly with the old. cid problem of raising a boy, a problem. It would appear. that should have long ago been settled, and de- tached from the realm of uncer- tainty throuh the long ages of human eXperience.--EX.

The prompt action of Col. O'NeiI, in dispatching the launch Lieut.. l.. V.

The Donaldson is a powerful craft and. under her present. efficient officers would easily weather any storm liable tu br encountered in these wa ters. But it is different with smaller boats, for should any thing happen to put their motive power out of commission while Ducking the elements their occu- pants would be completely at the mercy of the waves. It is just such kindly and thoughtful ac- tions on the part of the con- manding officer of the post which has given him such a big place in the esteem of the people of this community.

fruitful territory Ul Lne repuD- lie. Samoa was unknown; til. Philippines were outside tht range of progress under etfetc spanish possession.
 In the development of such ter ritory upon the face ot the globe as has naturally or incidentally come within our touch, the Unit ed States has already made rec ord which, we may devoutly hope, will not be marred by future in discretion on our part. Outside our own dominion, our national influence has been for welfare. in the middle of the last cen tury, Mexico was in the grip of the feeble imperialism of France. When our own Civil war was end ed, MaXmilian was forced out. The little Central American States, always at war, were ce- mented into a union more or less stable; Brazil became a republic; on the other side of the world, the most ancient of all systems of dynastic rule was overturned, and today in China itself the will of the people is formally recog- niZed.
 The world has almost been made over in the last half cen- tury and the removal of the final barrier between the oceans at Panama ushers in a new era for the world and a particularly new and potential era for the states of the union that border on the Pacific. No man can foretell the extent of the changes that will be ushered in with the opening and operation at Panama of the realization of the dream of cen- turies, a ship canal between the oceans. Bankers, iinancicrs, shiphuilders, the captains of trade and industry have sensed
 he change and forecasted it's possibilities. The result of their foresight in being echoed in the whirr of saws, the pounding of hammers, the gnawing of drills and the pounding of rivets in ev- cry shipyard of the world. Their dream is of commercial conquest. To us on the Pacific coast, whe- ther newcomers or descendants of the pioneers who fought their way against Indians and cold and thirst and hunger back in the 40's and sos, the change means more than additional ships and ship ping. It means new problems of populuation and immigration, rCW questions of housing ana employment, new phases to our educational and moral status, new opporN unitits for develOp- mcnt and expansion, new issues and new questions whichever way we turn.
 Yet, our civilization and our nature are such that We welcome these changes and innovations. if our civilization is not the best in the world. we want to know It ourselves. Ii We can not stand the test of these new questions and new problems, We want to find out the defects and plan to remedy them promptly. Serene in the confidence that our instl- tutions are basically sound, we await the coming of the new ships and the problems they car ry.--TacOma Tribune.
