HABIT OF EXCHANGING EGGS
Exercise of Little Care in Gathering
and Selecting Will Net Advance
Over Common Price.

There is no satisfaction and but
very little money in exchanging eggs
for groceries or grain. By being care
full in gathering eggs, SO that they
won't become chilled in winter and
SO the hens won't sit on them over
night and using a little care in sizing
and selecting, quite an advance over
the common prices may be obtained.
When possible, sell your eggs direct
to the consumer If not possible, get
a market in your nearest city with
some grocer who deals in strictly
fancy groceries and provisions Agree
to furnish him only strictly fresh
eggs, and then, for your own sake,
live up to the agreement Carefully
clean all the eggs; don't send small
misshapen or large ones. Stamp each
egg with a rubber stamp, using your
initials or the name of your farm, and
in a short time you will have created
a demand for your eggs, and when
you have created such demand your
eggs will bring the highest prices,
considerably more than your store
keeper would pay.
Several neighbors should send their
eggs together, paying a cent OF two
per dozen to one of their number for
doing the business, and in this way
all would gain little.

IDEAL MENU FOR TWO PERSONS
is GIVEN HERE.
Suggestion for Solution OF Problem
Which Is One of the Hardest
With Which Housewife Has
to Contend.

One OF the difficulties of family o:
two. man and wife. is to prepare A
bill of fare from week to week and
not have to eat the some kind of meat
several days in succession. If the
man is not one who works at manual
labor he is quite likely to have a
small appetite. The woman does her
own homework. perhaps, and she, too.
is not large eater. Now ten-pound
roast would last two people of this
kind much more than week TO
buy less prevents them securing the
best cut Of beef, although when they
buy lamb it is quite possible to get
good roast much smaller. An excel
lent idea Is to lay out course in adj
vance. Say something like this:
Roast beef one week, lamb the next
week. turkey or chicken or roast pork
the third week, then miscellaneous
dishes the fourth week, like salads
from chicken. lobster, if not too high
shrimp boiled dinner once This
would give a change sufficient to salts
fly most tastes.
Let the roast be, say, seven or eight
pound sirloin. Have it boned and one
slice of steak cut off of it. The steak
will do for the Sunday dinner, the
bones will make splendid vegetable
soup for Monday dinner. and by Tues
day the beef will be ready to roast. 1t
will surely last the ordinary family OF
two Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day, and, perhaps, there will be
enough left for stew on Saturday.
Fish may be served Friday one week,
oysters another Friday in their sea-
son. The second week an efght-pound
leg of lamb will give chops for Sun
day. Cut the bones and take them
off both ends of the roast, and
vegetable stew may be had again
Monday, and the rest the next three
days So on, with the other meats
provided for the different weeks. It
Is possible and advantageous to use
fish twice during the week. Seal
loped fish makes an excellent dish oc-
casionally.
scribed above is meant for dinner
only, whether served at noon or at
night 1t is for the man with lin
tied income, say from SIS to $50 per
week, where the wife does her own
work. For those of smaller incomes
perhaps roast sirloin Is too expensive,
and also roast lamb. Then rib or
rump roast and mutton may be substi-
tuted. A slice of cold roast beef or
lamb will be acceptable in the morn
Ing often with the egg
Cold corn beef for an excellent dish
to keep in the pantry in case Of un-
expected demand. 1t makes a good
relish at night with supper If that
meal is served instead of dinner.

and invests in a few, well-mated work
ing birds. Then, having posted him
self as fully as possible by reading
good pigeon literature, let him give
his stock that careful attention indis-
pensabie to the we'll being of all living
things, and it will not take very tai
ented prophet to predict result quite
at variance with the one first outlined.
Squads die in the nest or are found
on the floor or do not fatten up prop
erly, when the old birds are not fed
properly. A young squad is not to be
compared with a young chick. A very
young chick can run about and help
itself to food and water and the other
necessities of life; whereas the squad
is utterly helpless at its birth, and is
unable to walk and must be fed in the
nest by the parent bird and with what
ever the parent birds may feed it.
The watchful pigeon man is the one
who gives his fiocks the best of care.
He keeps them in health by noting the
first signs of ailment.

How tuberculosis is Spread.

Based on figures obtained from
eases of tuberculosis reported in
Cleveland, New York and other cities
where thorough registration of con-
sumptives is employed, it is esti-
mated shat for every death from con-
sumption in the United States, of
which there are on an average 200,-
000 annually, there are constantly
more than five living cases, making
at least 100000 in all. Of these mil
lion living cases. it is estimated that
the health authorities have records of
not more than 100000 to 100000, or
one in every eight or ten, and that,
for the great majority of cases re-
corded, no hospital, home or dis
pensary care is provided. Practically
nothing can be done to control the
spread of tuberculosis in the uEre-
ported cases.

There is nothing the matter with
the hen that shows a bright eye and
a. red comb.
Exercise is a better laying stimu-
liant for the hens han heat-producing
condiments
Establish, If possible, a brand of
eggs which will in itself be a guar
antee of good quality.
Green food of some kind is neces-
sary to make hens do their best in
the line of egg production.
Eggs ought to weigh pound and a
half to the dozen or ffty-fve pounds
net to the thirty dozen eggs.
1t is poor policy to change the quar-
tiers OF hens or pullets while laying,
for it usually checks or stops egg pro-
duction.
Experiments show that chickens
with strong vitality and plenty of
masculine characteristics make the
largest gains.
The best place for the incubator is
the one where the temperature is
most nearly uniform from day to day.

Collect the eggs regularly at least
once, better twice, day in moderate
weather and more frequently in very
warm and very cold weather

Meat Ration for Hens.

The effect of meat rations for hens
was tested at the West Virginia ex-
pertinent station, where one pen Of
fowls received ration largely of corn
and other starchy grains, while another
pen was fed partly on meat and fresh
bone. The meat-fed fowls laid 1855
eggs, while the granted fowls laid
3,431, or less than one-half as many
as those receiving the heterogeneous ra-
ton. The eggs from the meat-fed
fowls were larger, much firmer, rather
better and produced far more vigorous
chickens than those of the others.
Both lots of fowls remained IN
healthy, vigorous condition

SOWING SEEDS TOO DEEPLY
Smaller Vegetables and Flowers Can
Hardly Be Covered Too Lightly
With the Soil

More seeds are probably killed by
sowing or covering too deeply than
too lightly.
1t is no uncommon thing to find
small seeds covered with a quarter
or over half an inch Of soil.
Thousands SO deeply sown perish,
germs either never come to life at all
or are quite unequal to coping with
such a weight of covering earth.
Only the larger seeds of vegetables
should be sown from a quarter to one
inch in depth.
Peas, beans and such like seeds may
go underground two or three inches
but the smaller vegetables and flower
seeds can hardly be covered too light
ly, provided they are covered.
1t should always be borne in mind
that deep sowing ruins more seeds
than any other fault or mistake.

ERRORS OF BEGINNER
Element of Common Sense Often

Practically all beginners are honest
In their belief in the business, but 1t

The feeding value, as well as the
market value, and palatability of hay
is lowered by being sunburned. The
feeding value is probably hurt most by
the loss of leaves. Sunburned clover
and alfalfa lose a large part of the
leaves in handling, and this is the
best part of the crop.
When the sun is shining very bright
ly the alfalfa or grass should not be
left in the swath long. A large part
of the curing should be done in the
windroW and the cock. Most Of the
hay is then shaded and so the damag-
ing effect of intense sunshine is re-
duced to the exposed portion. And a
stock cover will still further lessen
the injury from the sun as well as
from rain.
