Expert Egg Packers.

The Department Of Agriculture
is sending two Government ex.
perts in handling eggs and poul-
try, throughout the country in a
special Car to teach farmers the
proper treatment of eggs. The
car is d complete refrigeratlng
laboratory on vince S, carrying
its own gasoline engine TO op-
crate the chilling apparatus and
to generate electric currents. 1t
is divided into two rooms of diff
ferent temperatures, the first for
cooling fowls and fr, sh warm
eggs and the other for storing
them. This arrangement is nee
essary, because ii unchilled prod
ucts were brought into the cold
storage,room the poultry and eggs
already stored there would gath
er moisture from them.
The engine drives the fan
which forces air through the
false walls and hampers of the
car. This fresh air passes
through large bunkers of ice and
salt, which will reduce the tenn
perature of the car to 80 degrees
in 30 minutes. Eggs can be
chilled to 40 degrees inside of "a
hours.
Scientific handling of the eggs
to determine their freshness is
shown, and a practical demon
station of skilled packing of eggs
for long shipment is given daily.
At the conclusion of the tests
the local owners of the eggs are
free to go ahead and ship them
to their consumer.

Money in Sheep.

A live stock farm at Millers-
burg is reported to have bought
and shipped 5000 lambs during
the present year. The prices
paid for the lambs ranged from
six to eight cents a pound, which
was not bad for the farmers
who had lambs to sell. 1t may
be remembered incidentally that
that Kentucky could produce cas-
ily twice the number of sheep
that are now being raised-and
doubtless would do so but for
the fact that the State is over
run with dogs. There is no mon

A Hundred Point Man.

A hundred-point man is one
who is true to every trust; who
keeps bis word; who is loyal; who
does not listen for insults nor
look for sights; who carries a
civil tongue; who is polite to
strangers, without being fresh. "
who is considerate toward SER
wants; who is moderate in his
eating and drinking; who is will
ing to learn, who is cautious and
yet courageous. Hundred-point
men may vary much in ability,
but this is always true-they are
safe men to deal with, whether
drivers on drays,, clerks, cashiers,
engineers, presidents o f rail-
roads, congressman or men and
officials in all high places in life.

AS the people of this country
view the horrors of the European
situation they may well take
courage and thank God that they
live in a land free from such con-
Gitions as those prevailing in Eu-
rope. While moved by profound
sorrow for the awful tragedy
that is being enacted, and SYM
pathizing with the suffering on
the battlefield and the greater
suffering of broken hearts in
homes made desolate by wars
destruction, we yet have a right
to lift up our hearts in thanksgiv-
ing for the blessings of this coun.
try in material things and in the
conditions prevailing in Europe.
In the light of the contrast be-
tween the blessings which the
people of the United States are
now enjoying. with the magnifi-
cent crops of the year and all
other privileges vouchsafed to US,
how small and petty seems our
thoughts when we mourn because
business is not quite so good as
1t might be and because our
chances of making money are
for the moment not quite so
abundant as in tines past.
Let the people of the country
put behind them such pessimism
and such narrowness, and in a,
spirit of enthusiastic optimism
carry forward the work of the
day without hesitating or hault-
ing, and then there will be bust
ness enough for all and room
enough for all when the tempo

In the race for Congress in
the Ninth District the republi-
can candidate, @. b. Slenp was
re elected by about twelve hun
dred majority. While the fig.
ures are not official 1t is thought
that complete returns will not
change them very much.
The vote in Big Stone Gap
was we're heavy, there being u
total of 426 votes cast. Irvine
received 22l, Slemp 1879, Rose 4,
Dutton /, II were thrown out.
Although both parties worked
hard, the election passed off
quietly and no disturbance of
any kind occurred at the polls.
Indications are that Hooper
has been defeated for governor
of Tennessee, the Nashville Ban
ner having conceded Rye's cleo
ton by about ten thousand ma
jority. The race in New York
and Massachusetts liz close but
will probably result in IA victory
for the republicans. Nothing
definite could be obtained about
the governors race in Ohio, but
womau's suffrage and statewide
prohibition have been defeated

state.

Wealth From Calamity.

The war in Europe is n ca
lnmity-a world calamity-but
from it will come great wealth
for the American farmer.
He will reap the greatest ben
eft of all.
When the war is over Europe
will awaken to the fact that it
is destitute of foodstutfs.
Fields will be untitled except
by aged men, women and
young boys, and the little pro-
duced by them will supply but
n fraction of the demand
IL is then the American far
mer will step into the breech
with his hundreds of millions
OF dollars worth of farm prod
ucts.
The demand will be great aud
prices will be correspondingly
high, aud the farmer will reap
golden harvest such as he has
never before.
And the farmer will spend
literally in turn, and the mer-
chant, and the professional
man, and the mechanic, and
all of the people, even unto the
humble editor, will share in
the newly accumulated wealth
that is to come TO us from across
the seas.
Tremendous crops are report
ed, the government estimating
corn at 2,Gs6, 900, 900 bushels,
wheat at 500 900, 900, oats at
1897 100000 barley at 1877 ,0o0,-
coo bushels, and other crops in
proportion.
When the great surplus of
this crop is marketed in Europe
at war prices it will pour 80
much wealth into the pockets
of the farmers that our country
will be flooded with gold, and
the liberality OF the farmer in
his own prosperity will radiatc
TO all branches of trade.
Patience is the watchword
today, but tomorrow differ
ent story will be told.
And with patience we should
combine enough common sens,
TO keep us free from all entnn
clements in the present con
tiict.
