People who go 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 if 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 a 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
ne can recommend. and is willing to
pay good price for the same. AS
many town customers buy their eggs
just dozen at a time, 1t adds to the
attractiveness and STABILITY Of your
goods if they are put up in neat car
tons holding just that number.
OF 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.
Not 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 Joseph's coat, of many col
ors," but it 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
fished out two or three specimens that
were most indisputable "old," and laid
them carefully to one side. eff these
old things didn't come out of a last
4 years hens nest I'll miss my guess
AT last he finished his counting, and
returned to the counter to settle with
their owner.
! Twelve cents is the best we can
do on that grade of eggs" he said
We're overloaded with them now"
Il thought you were paying more
than that" protested the woman who
had brought them in.
Il had to lay out over two dozen

OLD GAMES FOR THE YOUNG
RiindfoIded Player Must Recognize
Others by Feeling With Large
Spoon Instead of Hands.

In the game called "a Spoonful OF
Fun instead of feeling with his
hands in order to discover who it is
that he has caught, the blind man is
given a large spoon which he uses as
wand. AS in Silence" the players
must all remain perfectly still. Direct
ly he succeeds in finding some one
the blindfolded player tries, by deity
touching him here and there with the
spoon, to discover who it is. AS it is
much easier than anybody who has
not tried can possibly imagine to dis
cover the identity of a person by
spoon touching, it is best for the I'M
bitndfolded players to try and disguise
themselves as much as possible
Some might stand on tiptoe to make
themselves appear taller, others tie
handkerchiefs round their necks or
wrap themselves up in shawls; and
the boys might remove their telltale
collars or put on their overcoats

PATHETIC APPEAL OF A WIFE
Heart-Rending Letter Written to Edi-
tor Of Oregon Paper by Spouse
Of Confirmed Drunkard.

A drunkard's wife recently wrote
most heart-rending letter to the editor
of daily paper in Portland, Oregon.
Il come to you with my trouble" she
said, because your paper seems to
have mighty power. for good against
evil. Can't you start something
against the saloons, or have we drunk
ards wives got to endure hell on
earth continually? Whisky is bad
enough for the drunkard, but oh, l
have not words to express how awful
it is for drunkard's wife. am
only one out of million who endure
this torture and unusually without
word of complaint because of the
shame and disgrace. l would not tell
my name for anything. My husband
is a business man, makes plenty OF
money, and when sober is very kind
to me. Sometimes pity him as
mother might crippled child; some
times hate him, thinking--oh, / can't
tell what / have thought"
This, and much more, is confined
in her desperation to the editor, and
she concludes with questions that
must strike home, to the heart and
conscience of every voter:
But, oh, why are the saloons? Why
are saloons? Must we endure this suf-
fering worse than death so that the
pockets of a few may be filed with
money? Must our homes continue to
be broken up, our children made ia
therless, or have such father that
is worse than none? Must our boys
be given up to these saloon hells?
Must our girls marry them and suffer
as l have suffered? Where, oh. where
is help?"

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 a market for
his best eggs, any more than you do.
Another good way is to sell your
eggs directly to individual customers,
thus making the middleman's profit,
too. There are many people who are
willing to pay from five to ten cents
a 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 were gather
ed, and the words quality guaran-
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.

that were cracked, or otherwise unsal-
able," replied the grocer. IF you had
sorted your eggs 1 might have done
better for you"
OF course she did not like it, but
whose fault was it If she could not
get the highest market price?
A little later another lot was
brought in. There were two boxes of
them, in each of which were twelve
cartons, holding dozen eggs each.
One box was full Of white-shelled
eggs, clean as pearls, uniform in size,
and packed with the small end down.
The other held brown-shelled eggs.
some cartons being light brown, and
others dark brown. The clerk smiled
as he lifted them out.
Eighteen cents a dozen, and glad
to get them. Orders waiting for them

over forty years has been the most

OF the ruler of Bulgaria he remarks
that his habit of total abstinence Is a
matter of policy due to the advice Of
his wonderfully clever mother and
most sagacious political adviser.
King George of England quietly cut
off all alcohol without any fuss or

Wales. Queen Mary allows no alco-

PREDICTIONS OF
RAINY WEATHER
Horses Neigh, Cattle Low, Pea
cocks Scream, and Ducks and
Geese Are Noisy.
By A. v. MEERscH.>

1t is well known that animals and
fowls give, notice of the approach of
rainy weather by their peculiar ac-
TONS 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
squall, 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 ev.
cry part of her coat that she can
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, to 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 tbs
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
causes the leaves to contract ant
close. just as paper curls when one
side OF it is moistened.

ESSENTIAL PART
IN TOMATO CARE
Pruning Vines Is Most Conven-
lent Way to Secure Stronger
Vine and Stalk.
By ]. ]. cAsEY.l

The tomato is raised in this country
almost entirely for shipping purposes.
They are dedicated as a food for all
classes of people, the laborillg classes
especially, who buy them of the mar
keters.
l find the tomato easily grown, but
1 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 stronger vine or stalk, and to
give growth to a 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 very great size the
| plant will bear down to the ground
and the tomatoes will rot.
Another thing Is Ii the tomatoes set
we'll 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 as the plants take start to
grow after they have been set in the
six-incb cold frame. The plants should
be about eight inches high, and only
the top pinched OF. Next, In a day OF
two, pinch the tops OF of the second
