riculturc, which today set forth lis
hudings in a bulletin entitled "rhe
Care Of the Farm Egg To the iguo-
rance and indifference Of the farmer

part OF the annual loss of millions Of
dollars in spoiled eggs The depart
mfnt also rriticisos the methods Of
production. MARKETING and shipping
OF eggs in many States. These also
play a part IN the yearly loss.
Every year there Is loss of mil
liens OF dollars in bad eggs" says the
report. "thc direct result OF haphazard
methods Of production. marketing and
shipping which. arc now in vogue in
many States The great part OF this
loss Is due mainly 90 ignorance or in
difference on the part OF the farmer
aud producer and only a small part Is
caused by carclessncss on the part OF
the buyer and shipper"
The bulletin reviews the work be-
ing done by experiment stations and
State agricultural colleges in trying
10 eliminate the evils. and says that
"on every hand an interest is being
manifested in improving the condi-
tions in all branches OF poultry work 70

~DARLINc MILNE eRAY.-

UAhtiNN NtlIit NhA1.
There's low green valley ON the old
kentucky shore.
There I've whilod many happy hours
away.
A-sitting and s-singiug by the little
cottage door.
Where lived my darling Nellie Gray.
CHORUS.
Oh my poor Nellie Gray they have
taken you away,
And I'll never sec my darling amy
more:
I'm sitting by the river and I'm weep
ing ali the day.
For you've gone from the old Ken
lucky shore.
When the moon had climbed the noun
tain and the stars were shining
rhon I'd take my darling Nellie
Gray.
And we'd float down the river in the
little red canoe.
While my banjo sweetly I would
play.
One night went to see her, but she's
gone the neighbors say,
The white man bound her with his
chain,
They have taken her to Georgia, for 10
wear her life away.
AS she tolls in the cotton and the
cane.
My canoe Is under water. and my
banjo is unstrung.
lm tired OF living any more.
My eyes shall look downward and my
song be unsung.
While ! stay on the old Kentucky
shore
My eyes are getting blindfold and
cannot see my way
Hark. there's somebody knocking a.
the door;
Oh! ! hear the angels calling. and
see my Nellie Gray,
Farewell 10 the old Kentucky shore.
Oh, my darling Nellie Gray. up I'm
heaven there, they say.
That they'll never take YOU from me
any more
I'm coming. coming. coming. as the
angels clear the way.
Farewell 10 the old Kentucky shore.
