HAD BAD EGGS STORED; FINED.
Armour and Swift Taxed Twice As
Much As Others.

New York.-For having in their
storehouses eggs unfit for human con-
sumption Armour & Co. and Swift G
Co. were fined $500 each. In the same
court eight smaller dealers were fined
S25 each for similar offenses. The
court explained that it was the duty of
the large companies to set an example
to the smaller ones and for that rea-
son they deserved severer punishment.

SPRAYING FOR SOUND FRUIT
Experiments in Missouri Show That
Practically All Unsprayed Fruit Is
Ruined by Disease.

The man who still clings to the idea
that spraying does not aid in the pro-
duction of fruit should be convinced
by the report of w. L. Howard of the
Department OF Horticulture of the Uni
versity of Missouri. By taking or
chards here and there over the state
of Missouri, Prof. Howard has just fin
ished a series of experiments that
show that practically all unsprayed
fruit is ruined by diseases or insects
In one orchard where a part was
sprayed and part was left unsprayed,
only IL per cent of the Arkansas
black apples could be classed as clean
fruit after the trees had been left un-
sprayed. In the same orchard, where
the same brand Of apples had been
sprayed, the crop of clean fruit was
1871 peY cent. Another orchard of
Missouri pippin apples experimental
with the same way resulted in 81
clean fruit for the unsprayed part and
Ss.5 for that part which was sprayed.

CONCRETE AND GRAVEL ROADS
Time Will Come When Permanency
in Thoroughfares Will Be More
Highly Appreciated Than Now.

A prominent good roads advocate be-
longing to the American association
says: 1T is waste of time to build
roads of anything better than gravel
and not SO good as concrete" By
which he means that If the road is to
to be anything less than absolutely
permanent, 1t should be of gravel or
plain earth. One thing is sure, the au-
tomobles are putting macadam roads
in the category of things which will
not do, says the Baltimore American.
Concrete roads built over 20 years
country-town conditions at an annual
expense rate of SIS a mile, and are
still better than any macadam road
is likely to be In one-tenth the time
In this age of rubber tired vehicles
The ideal road would seem to be q
narrow concrete roadway with earth
or gravel ways at the sides. The mo-
tor cars will follow the concrete. and
in ordinary going the drivers who con.
slider their horsse feet will keep on
the pleasanter and softer track at the
side. In bad weather all could use the
narrow concrete roadway with earth
gravel road should run alongside every
macadam, brick or concrete way. 1t
keeps teams off the motor path and
makes pleasanter going for both horse
and horseman. The time will come
when permanency in our roads will
be more highly appreciated and work.

Raising Calves.

The way we do is to feed milk until
the calf is three or four weeks old
then give porridge made of oil meal
and wheat shorts commence with
about one spoonful Of oil meal and a
handful Of shorts, increase the guam
tity as the calf gets used to it, and in
addition, we feed whole, oats and
wheat bran dry, says Hoard's Dairy
man. We send our milk to the cheese
factory, so have to feed somethne
Besides milk
We raised one calf in this way that
gave us, when COW, $3.50 pounds
milk in 105 days, and made pounds

have one this year years old, that
gave 81 pounds 13 ounces milk in one
day, and others doing nearly as well

You can put as much expense on
the building as you want to, or you
can build it almost as cheap as any
other house of the same size by using
cheaper materials. Sometimes house
cheaply built and well painted looks
better than a more expensive house
that has been neglected in the final
finish. There are many such things to
consider when building.

Posy RINGS.

Somewhere back in the sixteenth
century the posy and motto rings
came into vogue. 1t is said that the
famous ring which Essex sent to Good
Queen Bess by the countess of Not
tingham, and which the woman did
not deliver, was posy ring.
Lovers as well as friends all over
Europe exchanged these rings. Some
Of the notices on the old rings are
very quaint indeed. Here are few:

May God above increase our love-"
