People who 20 to the market to buy
| eggs or poultry always want the best
they can get. And the only way they
can tell is by the looks. SO il you
want to get good prices for your poul-
try products, you must make them
look NICE
At this time of year your most I'M
portant product will be your eggs. The
boy with only few hens will hardly
be able to do any shipping on his
own account, but must depend on his
home market. There are, however.
several ways in which he can get a
little more than market prices for his
eggs.
One way Is to arrange with your
home dealer to furnish him strictly
fresh eggs, graded and guaranteed.
for his finest class of trade. Any
grocer likes to get eggs that he knows
he can recommend, and is willing to
pay a good price for the same. AS
many town customers buy their eggs
just a dozen at time it adds to the
attractlveness and stability of your
goods If they are put up in neat car
tons holding just that number.
or course your eggs must be clean.
II your hens are of several kinds, you
are likely to get eggs that are not uni
form in color. Sort them so as to put
each color by itself If you have
never tried this plan, you have no
idea how much nicer your eggs will
look, and anything that adds to their
appearance helps your price.
Net long ago the following little
everyday occurrence was noted in a
grocery where many eggs were being
brought In. A great bucketful had
been offered for sale, and the clerk
was busy counting them out. They
were like Josephs coat, of many col
ors,' but 1t is to be hoped his coat
was not like them in being stained
and dirty.
Anything with a shell on passes
for an egg with some folks" grumbled
the disguised clerk, as he gingerly
tished out two or three specimens that
were most indisputable old" and laid
them carefully to one side. "If these
old things didn't come out of last
years hens nest III miss my guess"
At last he finished his counting and
returned to the counter to settle with
their owner.
Twelve cents IL the best we can
do on that grade of eggs" he said.
Were overloaded with them now"
81 thought you were paying more
than that" protested the woman who
had brought them in.
81 had to lay out over two dozen

WOMAN RIDES ON PORP0ISE
Has Startling Experience While
Bathing on Coast.

Venice, Gala ride on the back of
Z huge playful porpoise caused Miss
Violet Nathan of Minneapolis to have
Mysteries while in bathing.
While large number Of bathers
were enjoying the surf near Maier
Pier avenue a school OF porpoises sud
denly appeared and began to frolic
with the barhers. All except Miss
Nathan fed to the beach. When she
observed the monsters she started to
flee, but big porpoise, in a playful
mood, swan up and rubbed against
the young woman. She screamed and
jumped.
The porpoise then swan directly
under Miss Nathan and she was car
ried several feet astride of the crea-
lures back.
She called loudly for help, tainted
and fell off.
David Moreno, life guard, rescued
Miss Nathan and she was revived.

ESSENTIAL PART
IN TOMATO CARE
Pruning Vines Is Most Conven-

l also find they must be cared for In
the proper way and manner. One Of
the most essential parts in the culture
and production Of the tomato Is the
pruning OF the tomato vines in the
most convenient way and manner to
aid In a stronger vine or stalk, and to
give growth to larger crop OF to-
matoes which. without doubt, will give
to the grower the premium much
above his work
If the pruning is not done, the plant
will grow slender. tall, and have an
ugly shape and when the crop OF to.
matoes get to a very great size the
plant will bear down to the ground
and the tomatoes will rot.
Another thing is If the tomatoes set
well on the unpruned plant they will
not get to any size for there is too
much of the leaves and stalk to sup
port
The first pruning is to take place as
soon az the plants take start to
grow after they have been set In the
six-inch cold frame. The plants should
be about eight inches high. and only
the top pinched of. Next. In day or
two, pinch the tops Off OF the second

weeks the tops Of the stalks should

OF
RAINY WEATHER
Horses Neigh, Cattle Low, Pea
cocks Scream, and Ducks and
Geese Are Noisy.
(RY A. Y MEERSCHl


1t is well known that animals and
fowls give notice of the approach Of
rainy weather by their peculiar ac-
tions. Dogs and cats are less ener-
getic and show an unusual disposition
to sleep. Sheep crowd together in a
shelter place. Horses neigh, cattle
low. peacocks scream, guinea fowls
squat, and ducks and geese are more
noisy than usual.
All this is due to the decreased sup
ply Of oxygen in the air and to the
depressing effect of damp air on their
nerves. 1t gives them some difficulty
in breathing and makes them listless
and uneasy.
Another sign of rain Is seen when a
cat rubs her ears and sometimes ey-
reach. This is due in part to the
dampness of the air, which penetrates
the hair and makes the skin itch, but
is chiefly due, perhaps, Nto the air be-
ing heavily charged with electricity.
The hair OF the cat becomes heavily
charged. too and she rubs it to make
1t smooth, and to brush away the
peculiar sensation electricity causes.
Perhaps you have noticed that the
leaves Of the dandelion and clover
fold up and go TO sleep, so to speak.
when the rain is near. AS these plants
never open their leaves without the
stimulating influence Of sunshine. the
cloudy sky puts them to sleep. An
other reason for the change Is the ex-
pansion OF the air vessels Of the
plants, due to the damp air which
close, just as paper curls when one
side OF 1t is moistcned.

right now. Jim, go and phone to Mrs.
Grant and Mrs. East that we've got
those eggs they want"
And that is the difference. When
the grocer knows what he can depend
on, he is willing to pay for it. He
does not have to hunt market for
his best eggs, any more than you do.
Another good way is to sell your
eggs directly to individual customers,
thus making til middleman's profit,
too. There are many people who arc
willing to pay rom Eve to ten cents
dozen more than the regular mar
ket price for eggs that they know will
be fresh and good. A very good plan
is to mark each carton with your
name, the date the eggs we're gather
ed, and the words quality guarap-
teed." 1t does not take long to work
up a fancy trade in this way, but Of
course 1t takes little more time than
to sell direct to the grocery

sorted your eggs might have done
better for you"
or course she did not like 1t, but
whose fault was 1t If she could not
get the highest market price?
little later another lot was
brought In. There were two boxes Of
them, in each Of which were twelve
cartons, holding dozen eggs each

eggs, clean as pearls, uniform in size,
