ceives the value of the eggs less this
commission. Many practice selling
eggs the age of which is question
able, thinking that the middleman or
consumer stands the loss. There
could be no more serious mistake.
On a trip through commission houses
of New York, the writer watched the
Gambling of eggs. About one out of
every five was thrown out. Who
stands the loss? Does the commits
sion man? He knows from experience
the quality he may expect. Does the
consumer? He pays for what he gets.
The man who stands the loss is the
producer, and the loss is the lower
price he receives because Of the aver
age low quality of the eggs.
A better quality would eliminate
this loss; and eventually the producer
will reap the benefit, not only be-
cause of the increase in price which
the commission man can afford to pay,
but also because of the demand which
would be created for his goods on
account of their improved quality. It
is a fact that eggs from certain locali-
ties and states demand a premium of
two or three cents a dozen because
Of the good reputation their goods
have attained.
At the present time there is an
enormous loss in the eggs marketed.
About II per cent, or nearly one-1fth
Of the eggs marketed, are unfit for
food. The elimination. of this would
mean an addition of $4,000 900 to
100000 to the Missouri farmers in
a single year. The loss which occurs
in eggs is classified as follows:
Chick development .......5 per cent.
Dirty eggs .............2 per cent.
I:reakage ................2 per cent.
Shrunken or held eggs....5 per cent.
Rotten eggs ............2.5 per cen
Mouldy or bad favored
eggs ...................5 per cent.
The farmer, Of course, is RESPONSE
BILE for only a portion of this loss,
because of delays in transit. Yet he
can do much toward the improvement
in quality. The following suggestions,
il carried out, will help greatly:
(1). Market only eggs of standard
size: "a ounces or more to the dozen.
(2). Sort out exceedingly large or
very small eggs.
(3). Avoid dirty eggs by use of
clean quarters. Dirt may be removed
by a damp cloth, but the keeping
qualities of the eggs are not as good
as of those which are unwashed.
az. Remove males as soon as
breeding season is over. Fertile eggs
do not keep as we'll, and the S per
cent loss can be eliminated. 1t costs
more to feed surplus males, and the
hens are more productive when nc
males are. present.
(5). Collect eggs from regular nests
) daily, or even twice daily in hot
weather. Stolen nests account for the
: rotten and moldy eggs.
: ICY. Store eggs in cool, well venti
: lated places. Heat assists chick de
velopment, and also increases the
shrinkage. Eggs are very susceptible
: to such odors as kerosene, cabbage
rotten fruit, fresh paint, etc. Feet
also influences favor. Only clear
, foods should be fed.
; Cd. Market eggs once or twice
weekly. An egg deteriorates in quail

command a premium of from 1 to

Rehuked.

A distinguished English surgeon,
who was rather untidy in his attire,
was one day called for hurriedly by
another doctor. When ready to start,
however, his friend demonstrated with
him ON the shabbiness Of his dress.
and suggested that as Lord - was
a most particular man, he should at
least change his hat, which, after some
grumbling, the surgeon consented to
do.
The caller waited for him impatient
ly for some time on the pavement, and
at last was surprised to sec the door
partially opened and a new silk hat
thrown to him, with a curt remark;
There's the hat; but l thought you
wanted the man Good-day."

How kahn Is COLLECTED on the hocks
nand w., who, in order to attract in
habitants to a spot otherwise some
what uninviting, proclaimed 1t an asy-
lum to murderers, swindlers and
thieves, and promised to levy no
taxes on imports and exports. In 1915
the second siege took place, when the
Arabs under Ismail ben-Ferez at
tackled it, and were defeated. In 1888,
however, the governor, Vasco Paez
de Meira, having allowed the defenses
to decay, was obliged to capitulate to
Mahommed w. Almost Immediately
the fourth siege began, under Alfonso
XII. Of Castle, "The Avenger." His
attempts, though heroic and pertina-
cious, were in vain; and he was OBJ
liged to content himself with a trib-
ute for the rock from Abdul Melek
Of Granada. In 1910, October 29, as
leader Of the allied armies Of the
Christian kingdoms Of Spain, he won
the great victory Of the Salado over
the kings of Granada and Morocco,
after which the booty was so great
that the value Of gold fell one-six-
teenth. He followed up his successes
In 1912 by laying siege to Algeciras,
where for the first time in Europe
cannon were used-by the Moors de-
Tending. After a two-year siege they
c~apitulated, on condition Of a ~ten-year
truce; but the king Of CASTLE broke
his word in 1349 by again besieging
Gibraltar. This, the fifth siege, re-
suited in the transference of Gibraltar
from the possession Of the king Of
Morocco to that Of Yusuf III, Of
Granada. The seventh, undertaken by
Enrico de Guzman, count of Niebla,
proved fatal to the besieger and his
forces. In 1852 success attended the
efforts of the Spaniards under Alfonso
de ARGOS, and in August Of that year
the rock was lost to the Arabs forever.
By the ninth siege the rock fell to
the duke of Medina Sidonia, who won
1t from the Spanish crown; in 1859
Henry ". was constrained to declare
his son and heirs perpetual governors
Of Gibraltar. Ten years later Ferdi-
nand and Isabel created the second
duke Marques of Gibraltar; but In
1901 Garsilaso de la Vega was or
dered to take possession Of the rock
for the crown, and 1t was formally in
co%rporated with the Spanish domin-
ions. After the death Of Ferdinand
and Isabel, the duke Don Juan tried
In 1906 to recover possession, and
added a tenth siege to the list; his at
tempt was In vain. The eleventh siege
took place In 1910, when the pirates of
Algiers tried to regain 1t for the Mos
lem cause; the conflict was severe,
but resulted in the repulse Of the be-
siegers. s,
During the wal Of the Spanish sue,
cession 1t was taken by a combined
English and Dutch feet under Sir
George Rookie.
