/ they find stolen nest OF eggs about
which they are in doubt market them
rather than keep them at home as
/ they should The only fair way of
| selling eggs is according to quality.
Every one should learn to candle eggs
so as to be able to pick out the poor
ones, and no farmer would receive pay
for poor or partially rotten eggs
The creamery operator can probably
sell eggs to the best advantage. He
will also be apt to care for them prop
a perishable product. Therefore, the
average creamery man will keep eggs
in cool place away from bad odors.
On the other hand, too many grocers
handle eggs about like they do po-
tatoes, with the consequent spelling of
many eggs. If eggs were marketed
drought the creamery a large per
centage of this loss could be obviated.
Many people seem to think that the
loss of eggs caused by careful hand
ling helps increase the price, but this
is far from true, because very poor
eggs have tendency to decrease con-
sumption. For instance, if the city
man who has been enjoying soft boiled
eggs for breakfact happens to get
spoiled egg some morning he imme-
diately loses his appetite for eggs and
eats other things. If the housewife
buys dozen eggs and finds one or
two poors ones in the lot she immedi-
ately begins to devise methods of
baking that will allow her to get
along with as few eggs as possible.
If, one the other hand, she is able to
secure good eggs she will use them
literally, many times regardless of the
price. firmly believe that the aver
age housewife would far rather pay As
cents a dozen for good eggs that are
genuinely dependable than to get eggs
for % cents and find one or two bad
ones in each lot

poor handwriting, typewriter Is
more than business luxury; it is
often necessity. Besides, efficient
typewriters may now be bought so
cheaply that there is little excuse for
not possessing one. AS very few farm
houses are properly protected against
fire, it may often be advisable to buy
a small family safe in which to keep
money and valuable papers. In case
this costs more than can we'll be at
forded, it may be advisable to rent a
safety deposit vault at the local bank.
Every farmer needs a working library.
This should consist of carefully Sc
lected books dealing with all phases
of agriculture, besides bulletins of all
kinds properly filed. Good farm pa
pers should also be on every farmers
table for it is important that the
farmer, and every other business
man. keep in touch with his business.
No farmer who seeks to build up a
reputation should use poor letterheads
or envelopes, as any appearance OF
cheapness produces bad impression,
Letterheads, catalogues and other
printed matter should be neatly and
attractively printed on good paper.

BY w. A. FREEHOFF,
College of Agriculture,

Every farmer and stockman finds 1t
necessary to keep some sort of office.
Either it is a room devoted entirely
to business purposes or it is part OF
another room fenced off" AN idea
OF what such an office should be was
obtained at the recent live stock eX-
position held in connection with the
ten-day farmers course of the college
ri agriculture where the department
of agricultural journalism had ar
ranged a model stoCkman's office.
In this ohice was included roll
top desk arranged to support type
writer. a small bookcase "A revolving
book rack, with a dictionary support
attached. a swivel chair, and a table
supplied with leading live stock jour
nails, Pictures of good live stock were
hung upon the walls. The bookcases
were filled with agricultural books and
farmers bulletins filed in special Ii
brary eases.
This office was not intended to rep
resent perfect equipment for the
business farmer. 1t simply suggested
plan which every one could modify
to suit himself. as some would be able
to do their work With less elaborate
equipment than others.
The tirst piece of furniture for
every farm Office should be small
roll top desk. In this the business
papers may be properly filed and
"pigeon-holed," and accounts kept \
roll top desk which automatically
locks itself and all drawers when
closed will prevent the papers from
being molested by children or lost in
other ways. A few twenty-five-cent
letter files should supplement- every

WIZ TuSLl6Q CQ6In.
So Jed Parker set out to discover
his man with nerve.
1.-THE Man With Nerve.
At about ten clock on the Fourth
of July rider topped the summit of
the vast swell of land and loped his
animal down into the single street of
Pereza. The buildings on either side
were f1at-roofed and coated with
plaster. Over the sidewalks extended
wooden awnings, beneath which
opened very wide doors into the COOL
ness of saloons. Each of these places
ran bar, and also games of roulette,
faro, craps and stud poker. .-. ...
The day was already hot with the
dry, breathless, but exhilarating heat
of the desert. A throng of men idling
at the edge of the sidewalks, jostling
up and down their center, or eddying
into the places of amusement, ac-
knowledged the power of summer by
loosening their collars and carrying
their coats on their arms. They were
as yet busily engaged in recognizing
acquaintance. Later they would
drink freely and gamble and perhaps
fight. ....
AS the rider entered one street,
however, a more definite cause of ex-
element drew the loose population
toward the center of the road. I'm
mediately their mass blotted out
what had interested them.
The stranger had pushed his horse
resolutely to the outer edge of the
crowd, where, from his point of van
tage, he could easily overlook their
heads. He was quiet-appearing
young fellow, rather neatly dressed
in the border costume, rode ''cen-
ter-fre" or single-cinch saddle, and
wore no chaps. He was what is
known as a, "two-gun man.; that is
to say, he wore a heavy Colts re-
volver on either hip. The fact that

ENLARGED AND IMPROVED.
The Bryant & Stratton School,
Boston.

In its new building, the school is removed
from all surrounding influences which
might distract the minds Of pupils from
their studies. The extension OF Arlington
Street during the past year has bounded
the building by three streets, Boylston,
Arlington and Providence, and made every
foot OF floor space desirable for school pur-
poses As one inspects the various rooms
he is impressed with the abundance of light
and purity OF the air-two qualities SO
essential to the health and best progress of
the student.
The schools record is its reference, and
the very best possible guarantee OF its abil-
ity 10 prepare earnest young men and
women for responsible positions In the bus
mess world.
Its patronage comes to it unsolicited,
because the merit of its work makes II un-
necessary TO adopt the practice common
with many schools Of sending solicitors
from house TO house seeking patronage.
Plans for the practice of business IN
which the individual teaching system is
employed originated with this school. Each
pupil has special course Of study planned
out for him and carefully adjusted to his
personal requirements. This splendid sys-
tenn of combining study with practice en-
ables pupils to advance in accordance with
their ability and application, and graduate
at any time when they have passed the
established requirements. The demand
from business houses for graduates OF the
school the past year has been the greatest
in the schools history.
Another feature which makes this school
unique is the adherence to the calendar
governing the regular academic institu-
tons. The sessions are from 9 to daily
with no attendance on Saturdays or even
ings, or during the summer season.

! bulous times incident to the establish
ment of new administration, does not
bear out the stories told of growing
| differences between President Wilson and
his secretary of state. On the contrary,
the appointment seems to indicate that
Secretary of State Bryan is not only
still in the good graces of the president
but that he stands high in the chief
executives estimation, else Wilson
would not have appointed this man to a
very responsible position who, so far
as known, has never had any experience
with Latin American peoples and coun-
tries and who does not speak the Ian
guage used in Mexico and whose qualifi-
cations for the work must have been
urged largely by his most indebted
friend, William j. Bryan, who has rea-
son for gratitude to exGoy. Lind, for
loyal support in campaigns in years
past. But whatever may be the merits
of the appointee as personal representa-
tive and perhaps later as ambassador,
it seems quite likely that the Wilson
administration will have at Mexico City
a man who will not be running contrari-
wise to the wishes and policies of the
administration, as former Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson has apparently done
during recent months. Mr.. Wilson was
too independent in his thinking and ac-
tons to suit the present administra-
ton. So the new arrangement will per-
init the carrying out of the cherished
plan of the American administration to-
ward settling the differences among the
warning elements in Mexico for the time
being at least. In Lind it has man
who will do its bidding.

THE PROMISED THEATRICAL
SEASON.

Early season announcement of the at
fractions booked for the Barre opera
house gives promise of much entertain
ment for theatre goers of Barre, Mont
peler and vicinity, as the plays already
secured are of an excellent class and
they are likely to be presented by com
panies of recognized standing in the
theatrical world. For few years back
the Barre opera house has been outliv-
ing reputation which was none too
good in the theatrical world and Barre,
by the aid of the present management
of the house, is once more back on the
small city circuit of the best shows on
the road in this part of the country.
Barre now is favored with attractions
which play the larger cities of New Eng
land and oftentimes it secures dates for
the Boston and New York companies
which are trying out plays at the open
ing of the season or which may be in
transfer between some widely separated
large cities like Boston and Montreal.
Thus the theatre going people hereabouts
are afforded first-rate opportunities for
seeing leading stage performances. And
not only are they given many good
shows but they are protected from poor
shows so far as the management is
able to do so. The Fox & Eaton cir
cult and Resident Manager Hoban are
careful not to infiict cheap shows on
the Barre public and it has been very
rare in their encumbency of the lease of
the local house that the public has felt
imposed upon; and the people here
abouts have shown their appreciation of
these efforts by giving uniformly good
support. The coming season bids fair
at least to equal the record of most
recent years in high-class attractions, we
are pleased to state.

Flushed and breathless, young Binks
at last succeeded in picking up the hat,
blown by the wind, which ne had been
chasing vigorously along the street, and,
with sigh of relief, leaned up against

recover some of his exhausted energies.
Just then another man, also breath
less, came running up, Pd, taking the
