THE FARM REFUSES TO STAND
ARDIZE.

Cost of production on the farm is
hard to figure. In the past the de-
partment of agriculture has had some
unhappy results in trying to arrive
at estimates that could stand the test
OF analysis. The fact is, of course,
that each farm is pretty much law
unto itself, and, as in other indus
tries, has costs of production that are
particularly its own.
Upon the proper procedure for dis
covering the reasonable cost of pro-
duction OF a farm product the secre-
tary of agriculture has taken the ad-
vice of a committee. and in order to
follow out the committees conclu-
sions now asks congress for $780,
600 to spend in the next IL months,
largely upon cost of production. but
also in studying farm labor, the
proper organization of farm, and
farm finance.
All of this should assist in getting
farming upon a business basis.-The
Nations Business.

LESSEN LOSSES OF EGGS;
SAVE VALUABLE FOOD


:: =
!. :. :. :. :. !. :. :. :: : !: !. i : : ! i
In marketing poultry and eggs
there is an enormous preventable loss
in quality and value between the pro-
Queer and the consumer. 1t has been
conservatively estimated that this
loss amounts annually to SIS, 100000
IN poultry and $45,000,O00 in eggs
While this loss falls upon all who
handle poultry and eggs it is borne
chiefly by the producers and the con-
sumers. The producers loss, caused
by decrease in price, under present
conditions represents that due to
spoilage or poor quality The con-
sumers' loss is due to curtailed sup
ply because, of the pounds of poultry
and dozens of eggs that are either OF
poor quality of a total loss; hence
the consumer has to pay a higher
price for that portion which finally
reaches him.

OLD MEN FOR WAR.
Most Generals of High Command of
Mature Years.

''Old men for counsel and young men
for war is an adage old as history Near |
ly all wars have been fought by young
men. The young men had a great part
in the great war, although the age per
centage was higher than in wars of the
past, because OF the enormous demand
for men, But the distinction of this
war is the fact that most OF It's generals
In high command were men Of mature

EGGS FRESH FROM CHINA.
Shipment of $500 Gases Arrives Here
in Good Condition.

China, the ancestral home Of the do.
mestic hen, has long been one of the
worlds chief sources of supply of dried,
powdered, and canned eggs, but it is only
recently, since the war changed so many
old-time ways of doing things, that the
experiment has been made of sending
fresh eggs in crates from China, half
way around the world, to England,
France, and the Eastern United States:
Eight thousand miles is long way to
ship even such imperishahle foods as
grain and fruits, and not long ago such
shipment of eggs would have been
laughed at. But now it has been done,
and many an omelet has sbeen eaten right
here in New York made from eggs that
first saw daylight ON the banks of the
Iangtse Kiang or In the Thibitan noun
| tains. \ shipment of $500 cases of Chi
nese eggs recently arrived in New York,
| travelling by slow boats and ordinary
| freight from Hong Kong by way of Van
| couyer.
When they arrived at New York they
were examined by a representative of the
/ department of agriculture, who reports
/ that the eggs packed in cases similar to
/ the ones used in domestic trade, but
/ made of heavier material. resembling
/ pine, of about the same thickness as is
used III domestic export cases. The ave-
rage net weight of eggs per case was
about 40 pounds.
/ The Chinese eggs were of deep brown
color and slightly smaller than the ave
rage domestic egg The shipment showed
losses from u to Is eggs per case. Tn
der the light some OF the eggs showed
quite heavy shrinkage. while others
were very full The whites were weak in
a number of eggs, and when they were
broken showed watery, though the eggs

Dissatisfied With Labor

Woman's Committee Recommends More
Use Of Electricity, Central Heating
and Ideal Coal Ranges-Will Start
In New Houses.

LONDON, April 16.-British women
are tired of pottering around in the old
fashioned houses of the country They
cannot strike against the work they
have to carry out under labor making
conditions but they intend to see that
the new houses constructed in the fu-
ture have all American labor saving de-
vices included in their design
The government, at the request of
the women s societies, appointed q com
lnittee of women representatives of all
classes to 90 into the details of the
home from the housewives standpoint
This committee has just issued its final
report.
The committee s recommendation if
carried out will cause a revolution in
women IS work in the home and the
British housewife will for the first time
look forward to life containing an OPP
portunity for leisure.
The women who served on the com
mittec have vision of the coming
time when electricity will be generally
used in the home for lighting and cook
ing. They claim that the problems of
heating, hot water supply cooking,
washing and drying can be solved by
cheap electricity and that the general
use of the electric current would rem
der half the domestic work now per-
formed unnecessary
Central heating is also advocated as
saving of labor At present not one
house in thousand in the United
Kingdom is fitted with central heating,
while practically all rooms other than
kitchens arc warmed by open fires
In connection with the provision of
supplies of hot water the committee has
tested many appliances and now gives
its support TO system consisting of a
combination water heater and storage
cylinder, which is adaptable for either
gas, oil or coal heating. 1t contains
two storages, one for domestic purposes
and a larger for baths This heater
raises five quarts of water to boiling
point in eight and half minutes at {
cost of ono cent, with the price of ga,
at $1.25 per thousand feet
The committee is of opinion that al
provision for cooking purposes SHOULD
be placed in the scullery and not in The
living room, as is generally the custom
1t asks that experiments should be
made for the purpose Of deciding thu
best system Of providing q back to bacl

JURY IN ANDERSON
CASE DISAGREES
AND Is DISCHARGED

Prescott, AriZ., June 22.-After
eighty hours deliberation the jury try
ing Mrs. Bernice Anderson the charge
of having murdered John Wilson, a
returned soldier, May 2, last. finally
reported last night that it was unable
to agree and was discharged. The
jury stood eleven to one for acquittal.
The county attorney intimated that
the charge against Mrs. Anderson
would not he dismissed since, he said,
the woman had testified she had shot
Wilson and that she would do it again
under the same circumstances.
1t is understood counsel for the de-
Tense will make another effort to
nave Mrs. Anderson committed to an
insane asylum.
Mrs. Anderson shot Wilson at a
sanitarium here at which she was en-
ployed as 4 nurse. She then fired two
bullets into her own body. During
the trial, she took the stand in her
own behalf and testified that Wilson
had ruined her life after persuading
her to seek a divorce from her hus-
band, Capt. David Anderson, who was
in active service overseas.
