 And be sure to store your eggs in a cold place where there is no damp ness".
 Thus ends a half column of advice to hen-owners, recently printed in a widely circulated farm paper.
 Probably it's very good advice, too
 Now please imagine Hiram Jenks, farmer, coming in some day next July with a hatfull of eggs fresh from the nests, and a few in one pocket which wouldn't go into the hat. The ther- mometer's about 92 in the shade on the north side of the woodshed, and last night was so hot that you couldn't sleep if you had so much as a postage stamp over you.
 Hiram gets most to the pantry with his eggs when he recalls the orders, to keep them in a 'cold place where there is no dampness'' So he turns on his steps and makes for the cellar. That's cool enough, certainly. It fairly strikes a chill through him as he pushes into its dark shadows from the intense heat of the outer day. But how about the ''dampness"?
 Everywhere that moisture can gath CT it has gathered. The walls sweat with it; the Tagging is dark with it; touches of mold or mildew here and there reveal it; even the wooden posts and props are "soggy'' with it.
 = ---.~--
 Farmer Hiram promptly recognizes that here is no place for this precious eggs, if they must be exposed to mo dampness". He backs out into the open and reflects.
 An, yes, there's the ice-box.
 If Mrs. Hiram hasn't got it's shelves already filled with butter and cold potatoes and pie-crust and lettuce and lard and salad dressing and apple nd h1Jfa thousand other trif1es which need to be kept cool, perhaps he can put his eggs in there till they are sold.
 But how about that "dampness"?

Some, which are not air-tight, let in moist heated air from the outside, to be condensed in clamny drops all over the contents. If Hirams refrigerator doesn't do one of these three things, it is an eighth wonder of the world, advertisements and testimonials to the contrary. not withstanding.
 And besides, investigation shows that it is already packed to the last inch of space Mrs Hiram has taken full advantage of the opportunities He couldn't get an egg in, edgewise, if he had one with an edge to it.
 By this time Hiram is beqinnnq to feel lonesome without his hat and anxious to dump it of eggs so he can put it where it belongs, on his hot head.
 The only other cold place on the farm within a mile of it is the well But even the editor of a farm paper !ught to know that there's consider able 'dampness" in a we'll In fact, to
