LOSS IN BAD EGGS.
Government Will FRY Out a Campaign
of Education.

Washington, May 9.-The undesira-
bility of the bad egg, from an economic
standpoint, solely, has been looked into
by the department of agriculture,
which today set forth it's findings in
a bulletin entitled 1.-The Care of the
Farm Egg
To the ignorance and difference of
the farmer and producer and not to
the buyer and shipper is attributed
the greatest part of the annual loss OF
millions of dollars in spoiled eggs.
The department also criticizes 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 a loss of mill
lions of dollars in bad eggs" says the
report, 1.-THE direct result of haphaz-
ard methods of production, marketing
and shipping which now are in vogue
in many states. The great part of this
loss is due mainly to ignorance or in
difference on the part of the farmer
and producer and only small part is
caused by carelessness on the part of
the buyer and shipper"
The bulletin reviews the work that
is being done by experiment stations
and state agricultural colleges in try
ing to eliminate the evils and says
that. ION every hand an interest is be-
ing manifested in improving conditions
in all branches of poultry work"

But when the elders of the church

there was no doubt about who nailed
up the door. w. R. Isenhart sat on

displaced willow plumes in woman's

losses on feathers throughout the
country. A change in the style of
shirt waists was followed by the de-
struction of numerous shirt waist rae

more than a coincidence.

WAS A fine MONTH.
April Broke All Records for Sunshine
and Warmth.

April broke all previous records for
the amount of sunshine received in
Kansas, and was one of the warmest
and most favorable Aprils on record,
as shown by a summary of weather
conditions at 125 stations of the wealth
er bureau so well distributed over the
state that they represent practically
every county.
The amount of rain that fell, while
below normal, was generally sufficient
for present needs. There were no
peratures and no abrupt temperature
changes during the month, so that
while conditions favored the growth of
vegetation it was not forced ahead of
the season.
The months temperature was above
normal in all parts of the state. except
a few extreme southwestern counties.
The average for the state was Sc de-
grees, which is degrees above nor
NAL. The highest temperature record
ed was s5 degrees on the 9Th at Cool
idge; the lowest was Is degrees on the
4th at Coolidge and also Leoti. In
many parts of the state the last day
of the month was the warmest and the
18th the coolest.
The two eastern tiers of counties
were the only ones that escaped freez-
ing weather during the month, but
there was very little damage from low
temperatures in the other counties.
The average precipitation for the
state was 1.S6 inches, which is 062 of
an inch below normal and makes this
the 9Th driest April in &c years. Over
the northern half of the state the pre-
cipitation generally ranged from ? to
inches and was ample for present
needs. In the southern half there
were several counties especially in the
south central portion, that received
less than an inch and reported the

Roosevelt would have the United

That was an expression he used in

peace among English speaking peoples
as their host at luncheon at his home
at Sycamore Hill. Newspaper men
were not admitted to the function, but
a summary of his remarks, approved
by Mr.. Roosevelt" was made public.
Although it was said that he did not
specifically mention the Panama canal
dispute, members of the foreign dele
cation said that he Enthusiastically re-
ferred to that question as one which
should be settled by arbitration if set
t!ement could not be reached by nego
tiation.
Would Keep All Promises.
II am not one who readily makes
promise, but once made I should think
it should be kept" he was quoted by
Ii. F. Ferris, secretary of the British
delegation, as saying in apparent ref
erence to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
which was signed in Colonel Roose-
velt's administration.

would accept arbitration methods in

eyes of his friend, Mr.. Carnegie (who
sat on the right, as there were GER
tainly some subjects which under GER
tain conditions he never would consent
to submit to arbitration, but he would
assure him of this-that so far as the
British empire and the American re-
public were concerned, he was pre-
pared to agree in advance to the set
tlement of any question that might
arise, either by mutual agreement, by
arbitration or any other method that
would not produce friction"

War between these two countries was

the presence Of the Canadian and Austria

expressed his hope that the Dutch and
British in that country might blend to-

public.
Mr.. Roosevelt gave first the toast to the
king and emperor of the British empire
