Richard Harding Davis and Medin Nc
~. COrmick Leaving Mexico.
Vera Cruz. May Little anxiety
is felt here for the safety Of Richard
Harding Davis and Medill Mccormick,
who went through the
lines to Mexico City last week. Davis
carried credentials from the Brazilian
legation here and Mccormick had
letter from the British consul. These
were accepted by General Mas, and
the two correspondents were sent for
lard, although Frederick Palmer, who
attempted to go through the lines as
an american v az turned back.
Describing their experiences at Cen
eral MASS headquarters at Paso del
Macho, about thirty or forty miles be-
yond the break in the Mexican rail-
way, Palmer said he felt certain Davis
and Mccormick were safe and credited
the report that they were on their way
to Puerto Mexico.
The dispatches to the Brazilian am
bassador states that Messrs. McCor-
mick and Davis had left by refugee
train for Vera Cruz. 1t was said that
the correspondents had asked for per-
mits to enter the Mexican federal
lines, but without waiting to receive
the permits, had taken the chance Of
going to Mexico City.

Testing Eggs.

substantially increased by establishing
a private trade in eggs of good quality
with hotels, restaurants, etc., in towns
and cities.
A good homemade egg tester or
candler can be made from a large
shoe box, or any box that is large
enough to 60 over lamp, by remov-
ing an end and cutting hole a little
larger than the size Of a quarter in
the side Of the box, so that when it
is set over a common kerosene lamp
the hole will be opposite the blaze.
A hole the size of a silver dollar should
be cut in the top Of the box to allow
the heat to escape.
A fresh egg held at the hole oppo-
site the blaze of the lamp will show
perfectly clear through the shell. A
stale or bad egg viii show dark spots.
This egg tester may be used with
excellent results in determining
whether eggs are fertile or infertile.
Many eggs that are laid in late winter
and early spring are infertile. For
this reason it is advisable, when Set
ting time comes, to set several hens at
the same time. After the eggs have
been under the hen for seven days
they should be tested to see whether
they are fertile or infertile. lnfertile
eggs should be removed and used at
home in cooking. for they are just as
good as others, and the fertile eggs

FEW PRACTICAL. DUCK NOTES
Avoid Danger of Fowls Becoming
Frightened and Smotherins Each
Other-keep Food Clean.

Shavings make the best beds for
ducks. Let the ducks make their own
nests in the shavings.
Unless lantern or some other light
is kept burning at night in sheds
where large numbers Of ducks are con-
fined, they are apt to become fright
ened and huddle together and smother
each other
1t doesn't pay to feed duck after
it is ten weeks old.
Ducks will eat anything that is set
before them, but their food should
always be clean. If it is sour or con-
tains tainted meat, it will cause death.
If much green food is fed ducks be-
fore marketing, it will produce yellow
flesh. Some poultry dealers like this
c6ior and others do not, and there
you are.

Homemade Egg Tester.

should be put back under the hen. In
this way it is often possible to put
all Of the fertile eggs under fewer
hens and reset the hens from which
the eggs have been taken.
In testing these eggs, an infertile
egg, when held before the small hole
Of the egg testing box, with the light
ed lamp inside, will look perfectly
clear, the same as fresh one, while
fertile egg will show small, dark
spot known as the embryo, with a
mass Of little blood veins extending
in all directions if the embryo is liv-
ing. If dead, if the egg has been in
cubated for at least sc hours, the blood
settles away from the embryo toward
the edge of the yolk, forming what is
known as a blood ring. The testing
should be done in dark room.

IMPROVED SPADE oH BUTTER
implement Devised ~ Minnesota Man
Cuts Through Print Easily, No
Matter How, Hard 1t Is.

When knife is too dull to be OF
much use people are fond Of referring
to it is "too dull to cut butter" Who
ever originated this remark evidently
had small experience in cutting butter,
for a good, cold, firm print is not so
easily divided as most folk imagine.
Warm butter may not have much con-
sistency, but cold butter has. A Hin
nesota man, who IS not necessarily
farmer because his first name is Reu-
ben, has invented butter spade which
creameryssn and dealers will find
