HOTELS GOOD CUSTOMERS
How Big HosteIries Get Their Sup.
plies of Eggs.

A method Of selling-which, more
than any other, perhaps is the dream
Of the producers the trade with
hotels, sanatoriums, and the like. Ac
cordingly we made a visit to one Of
the largest and most exclusive hotels
in New York city, says a writer in
Farm and Fireside. We were con.
Quoted through the kitchens Of this
hotel, where evidence of management
efficiency was plain everywhere. The
steward later talked with US about
their methods Of purchasing eggs and
poultry.
Both white and brown eggs are
used by these high-class hotels. But
for every use where the shell is ex
posed when the egg Is placed on tho
table-as when boiled-the white.
shelled eggs are used. For cooking
and baking the brown-shelled eggs are
used. About 900 dozen eggs day
are required by the hotel we visited
one-fourth Of these being white. From
95 to SO per cent Of all eggs used arc
purchased from the producers, to
whom two to five cents is paid above
the highest market price quoted for
nearby hennery whites or browns. The
remaining 2 to per cent are emer-
gency orders, and are purchased from
jobbers in the city or from retailers.
The hotels are steady customers, keep
ing the same shippers for many years

Hayana's Orphans.

A whole series of romances coulo
be written round the strange little
opening in the wall below the iron
barred window through which infants
enter Havana's great orphan asylum al
La Beneficencia, says writer In Vida
World Magazine. Parents, guardians
and others DESTROYS of getting rid OF
infants place them within the hoxlike
compartment, which is really stile'
They then give the stile turn, which
has the effect of ringing a bell in the
building, announcing to- the sister on
duty the advent Of another little found,
ling. The identity of the person who
brings the child is never known, and
every infant deserted in this way lie
nourished and cased for by the kindly
sisters. Some Of Havana's most pros
porous citizens were brought up in this
institution.

POULTRY POINTERS

BroilerS shrink about half q pound
each when dressed.
Two weeks is long enough to fatteD
a fowl if highly fed.
Late Matched chicks should be fed
by themselves, not with larger stock.
No man can raise poultry and pro.
duce eggs at so low a cost as the
farmer.
Store away some oats, wheat or rye
in the sheaves for the use of the hens
in the winter.
Both hens and pullets need to be well
cared for during the fall months if
winter eggs are wanted.
Fowls should never be kept in such
quarters that they cannot take sufti-
Gent exercise to promote digestion.
Repair the poultry house if eggs
are desired in winter. The first cold
weather should find all in good condi-
ton.
1t does not pay to kill and sell
young turkeys until they are well de-
veloped.
Young ducks that are to be kept for
sale as breeders should have plenty
Of range and two fair feeds each day.
Do not feed small chicks with big
ones, or the latter will get most OF
the feed and the smaller ones most of
hungry.

ITALIAN A FAITHFUL TolLsR
Does Not Drop His Shovel aa other
Laborers Do When the Whistle
! Blows.

There is a much lower percentage
of criminality, immortality and insanity
among the Italians than among many
other immigrant races, Willard Price
writes in the World Outlook. AS for
dependency, statistics for represent
alive year showed that out of every
$4,000 Italians in the city Of New York
there was only one in the almshouse
on Blackwell's island. James Forbes,
chief of the mendicant department of
the c. o. S., says he has never seen or
heard Of an Italian tramp. There are
practically no drunkards among the
Italians.
The immigrant from Italy proves to
be faithful and cheerful worker.
When a contractor engaged IN building
city sewer was asked why he had
only Italians in his employ he replied:
because they are the best workmen,
and there are enough of them. II an
Italian down in that ditch has q shOv-
elful of earth halfway up when the
whistle blows for dinner, he will not
drop it; he will throw it up; others
will drop it. And when the lunch hour
is over, when the clock strikes the
Italian will be leaning on his shovel
ready to go to work, but the other fell
lows will be out under that tree and
will be three minutes getting to the
job, and three minutes each for $50
men is not small ITEM
The italians are industrious, good
natured, very affectionate toward chill
dren, courteous and polite often to the
point of dishonesty, generous and self
sacrificing. But the impulse Of these
excellent qualities is offset by the,
Italians dense ignorance, which SEN
fences him to spend the rest of his life
after he reaches America in the drudg-
cry of unsl1illed labor.

HARROW TO PREVENT BAKING
Dust Mulch Should Be Prepared Soon
as Grain Has Been Cut and
Removed From Fields.

AS soon as grain is removed from
the fields they should be narrowed to
make dust mulch to prevent undue
loss of moisture and to l-cep the land
from baking or crusting over. If it
bakes, which it will do in hot, dry
weather, it will break up into clods
when plowed and be very lard to put
in good shape for planting. Unless it
is to be plowed right away, while there
is a good season in the land, it should
be narrowed with disk harrow, so
that it will break lip good, if it gets
dry before all can be plowed.

Why There Is a Coin Shortage.

Shortage Of small coins, complained
Of by banks, may be due partly to the
practice of saving buffalo nickels and
the new Dimes bankers believe.
Many persons have formed the habit
Of putting away the buffalo coins OF
the new ten-cent pieces for the well
established theory that the saver can
accumulate considerable sums in this
way and yet do it so gradually that
she never misses it."
Bankers said the penny famine prob
ably was due to recently instilled thrift
among children. Pennies given them
by parents, coins that formerly went
back into circulation as quickly as
little feet could hutter to. the corner
candy store, now find their way into
the toy bank.

How Aye-Aye's Life Depends o
Ein0hrc


What q cat is to a mouse, the aye
aye of Madagascar is to a worm. This
strange tropical creature, which is a
mammal, has paws that are shaped
much like human hand, but espe-
cially adapted for providing the aye
aye with means of securing it's liveli-
hood.
&, The aye-aye is a worm-catcher, for
which purpose the middle finger Of
each of its hands is an extremely at
'tenuated member which can be insert.
ed into a worm-hole and the surprised
occupant thereof extracted and de.
voured.
Naturalists regard the aye-aye as
one of the most curious creatures
known to science. It's very life de-
ponds upon it's two long middle fingers,
the crippling Of which would cause the
aye-aye quickly to starve to death.

But many months later, when on ac-

the prize was his own watch.

A NIGHT IN NIPPON
 AT COUNTRY CLUB

Under the soft and colorful glow of hundreds of gaily colored lanters, in- verted umbrellars and tinkling wind mills that transformed the ballroom into garden spot of Japan, the New Years ball at the Country club last night eclipsed all previous events.
 Every little detail that would add to the Japanese effect was added. The corpulent and genial Mikado, with his austere mein; pretty Japanese maid ems with their mincing, prim steps and significant fans-all were present when the several hundred mem- bers of the club assembled for the so- cial event occasioned by the coming of a new year.
 The touch of Nipon was only one of the features of the evening Mrs George Breinig gave a Japanese read ing. Hundreds of gay colored caps noise making toys and blatant horns were given as favors to the merry makers. They were distributed by Mrs. Culpepper Exum, Mrs. Ross Smith, Mrs. J.

WHAT'S THE USE OF MAKING
 NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS?
By WINNIE FREEMAN

There's no use making New Years resolutions
 They can't be lived up to.
 For instance:
 Just as I had sworn that the year 1917 should not see inflicted upon a dear and unsuspecting public any more bunk from my suited pen (and this secondhand typewriter); and just as I had adopted formal resolution to this effect and made it the first and foremost of an elongated string of such fruitless sentiments, along comes the city editor with an order, doomed ito blast to smithereens the very best intentions I might have.
 Write New Year story.' he said.
 I hated that.
 But, when a city editor speaks, a well trained reporter knows no alternative but to do his bidding, and I fiatter my self that I am a well trained reporter.
 However, I did hesitate just a min ute, just long enough for him to say:
 Just anything; some of that alleged humor. You know"
 Yes, I know.
 But I knew also that the very first and foremost of my resolutions had the others would rapidly follow.
 However, this isn't writing a New Year story.
