worthy in L. S. Farmers Bulletin 1913
says:
1t is possible for an egg to become
infected with micro-organisms, either
before it is laid or after. The shell is
poruS and offers no greater resistance
to micro organisms which cause dis
ease than it does to those which cause
the egg to spoil or rot. When the
infected egg is eaten raw the micro
organisms, if present, are communi-
Gated to man and may cause disease.
If an egg remains in dirty nest, de-
filed with the micro organisms which
cause typhoid fever carried there on
the hens feet or feathers. it is not
strange if some of these bacteria oc-
casionally penetrate the shell and the
egg thus becomes a possible source
of infection. Perhaps one of the most
common troubles due to bacterial in
lection of eggs is the more or less
serious illness sometimes caused by
eating those which are stale" This
often resembles ptomaine poisoning,
which is caused, not by the micro
organisms themselves, but by the
poisonous products which they elabo-
rate from materials on which they
grow

The cooperative marketing idea is
getting a foothold among the fruit
growers of the Grand Traverse sec
ton of Michigan. For nearly ten
years the producers Of farm wealth
in the counties surrounding the Grand
Traverse Bay have been trying to bet
ter their financial lot. These people
have felt that they were entitled to
more generous rewards than they
seemed TO he getting and so they have
on many occasions discussed ways
and means for combining their efforts
in behalf of more satisfactory econom-
ic conditions. For the third time they
have organized for mutual benefit in
solving marketing problems. The first
effort was rather crude. The intent
was sound, but the lack of experience
was fatal. The organization was not
prepared to withstand the trials Incl
dent to all cooperative efforts. After
a good fight the organization crum-
bled. Upon its dust q new and strong
er association was built. This gave
promise of success, and for a season
the fruit and potato growers were in
an optimistic mood. Some good re-
turns were obtained, but as before
the foundation was not deep nor
broad enough to withstand the stress
and strain of the fierce competition
that prevails in the marketing of
farm produce. 1t, too, finally sue
cumbed and went to the paradise set
aside for good intents.
The third cooperative effort is now
we'll under way. Several of its spOn-
sors are men who lost heavily in the
former efforts. However, they are
profting from the past and are build
ing with the hope of this time win
ming the appreciation of the Goddess
OF Success. They have displayed
their wisdom in many ways. They
have not acted hastily nor without
guidance. One of the best co-opera-
tive organizers in the entire country

ACetylene=GeneratOr Cellar Of
Concrete
Concrete

The acetylene generator used in
furnishing gas for Illuminating rural
houses requires a safe, permanent To-
cation somewhat removed from the
residence SO as to minimize any dam
ger from fire or Objectionable odors.
A concrete cellar located partly un-
foreground serves the purpose admir-
ably. The cellar, when not used for
housing the acetylene generator can
be well employed for storing combus-
tibles, such as oil. gasolene, etc, or
for the safeguarding of farm explo,
sives. The cost of such a structure

The advertisement should be made

The Importance of a circular, well
printed and worded, cannot be too
strongly urged as it will make the
best and cheapest salesman. This
circular or catalog should make it
plain that, not every shell contains an
egg. An egg standard should be
printed in the catalog to acquaint
your customer with the grades of
eggs People who have not made a
study Of these things know but little
about eggs and even a dozen of eggs
AL look alike to them, unless there are
different colors, and two colors should
never be mixed. Another important
thing in this circular that should not

feed and above all, sanitary condi-
tions. The last named is an import

When deciding upon the size of the
cellar it is we'll to make it large
enough to contain the generator, its
accessories and any other material
that is to be stored therein. There
should be provided also space for a
box or container in which to dump
the sludge or exhausted carbide from
the generator. The cellar shown in
the illustration is about 8 feet long
by feet wide and feet deep below
ground level, and has 6-inch walls.

GERMAN SUBMARINE.
Teutons Adopt Search and Seizure
and Send Contraband to the Bot

Washington, July 26.-The sinking
of the American steamship Leelanaw
by a German submarine in the North
sea on Sunday will give rise to new
controversy with the Berlin govern
ment over the rights of neutral ship
ping.
The reports which have been re-
ceived here indicate that the affair
will constitute case similar to that
of the bark William P. Frye, but will
not reach the point at which it will be
regarded as "a deliberate unfriendly
act such as the Lusitania case, Of
which President Wilson gave warning
in his notes to the kaiser's foreign
department.
The report of the latest attack on
an American ship, coming on the heels
OF reports of the unfavorable recep-
ton Of the American note in Germany,
caused a shock to administration off,

The torpedoing of the Leelanaw was
officially reported to the state depart
ment by Consul Dennison at Dundee.
The consul stated only that the vessel
had been torpedoed, that the crew had
been landed at Kirkwall, Scotland, and
that the men were proceeding to Dun
dee.

ground Thursday night in La Pretre

NOTE FROM BRITAIN
REPLY TO PROTEST ON SHIP
SEIZURES CLAIMS JusTIFl-
CATION FOR ACTS.
DEFENDS ITS PRACTICES
Says Acts Are Consistent With Prin-
ciples of international Law For
Which United States Is Contend
ing.

Washington, July 28.-Defending its
practices in the attempt to stop all
trade with Germany, the British gov
eminent, in note to the United States
contends:
That it's acts are consistent with the
principles of international law for
which the United States is contend
ing; that these principles merely have
been given new application to suit
changed conditions on the seas and
the geographical situation respecting
Germany, and that precedent for the
acts under the orders in council to
which the United States has taken
exception is found in the record of
the United States government during
the Civil war and sustained by de-
cisions of the Supreme court of the
United States, which decisions were
accepted by Great Britain.
In regard to reparation for damages
to American shipping, the note con-
tends:
That if American citizens feel they
have been deprived of their rights by
the British governments interfer-
ences with trade, they have first the
prize courts in which to present their
cases, and should the prize court rul-
ings be unsatisfactory, the British
privy council or supreme court, and.
finally, the diplomatic support of the
United States government, with which
arbitration of such claims might be
arranged as in previous instances, and
particularly in accord with existing
arbitration treaties between the two
governments.
The British note is in reply to the
American note of March 80, in which
the attitude of the United States to-
ward certain acts supposedly contem-
plated under the orders in council was
fully set forth.
