MARKET FOR GUINEA
EGG NOT ATTRACTIVE
Cannot Compete Successfully
With Ordinary Hen.
owing to Natural Tendency of Fowl
TO Nest in WeII-Hidden Place,
Many of Eggs Are Not Found
Until Nearly Spoiled.

AS profitable egg producers. gr,inea
hens cannot compete with ordinary
hens, but during the latter part OF
spring and throughout the summer
they are persistent layers. The eggs
are smaller than hen eggs. weighing
about Ia ounces each, while eggs ~
the common fowl average about two
ounces each; consequently guinea eggs
sell at price somewhat lower.
There Is no special market for
guinea eggs. and they are usuallv
graded by dealers as small hens eggs.
Owing to the natural tendency of the
guinea hen to nest in patch Of weeds
or some other well-hidden place. MANY
OF the eggs are not found until they
are no longer fit for market. The
shells OF guinea eggs are 80 thick and
often so dark that It ia difficult TO test
them by Gambling. For this reason
and also because tho eggs are small
dealers do not like % aandIe them.
For home use, however, guinea esrs
can be made to take the place Of han
eggs, and many regard them as supe-
nor In flavor. In composition the
greatest difference is that the shell I,
thicker and the yolk makes I'D a slight
~ larger proportion Of the total egg
contents than In the case of hen eggs

When he refused to pay this fare,
Legg asserts, he was 'threatened and

locked in the Pullman all night, not
even being allowed to leave for meals.
The next day the car was taken back

HERMIT'S LIFE TOO SEVERE
Wealthy EnoIishman Unable to Find
Man Who Would for Long Main
tain Required Pose.

The grounds Of Pains hill, near
Gotham, Surrey, were considered a
marvellous achievement Of landscape
gardening when first laid out during
the ownership Of the ninth duke Of
Hamilton. The head gardener, who
was given free hand. produced a
bewildering variety of supposed
neutrality-suspicious., cascades. chapels.
temples, and even hermitage.
When the job was finished the noble
owner Of Pains hill advertised for a
hermit willing to live there seven
years. 1t was stipulated that he
should wear a camlet robe, never cut
his beard or nails, and never stray
beyond the limits Of the grounds. He
was to sleep and eat in the hermitage,
a mat serving as his bed, and food
(washed down solely with water) be-
ing sent him from the house. He was
strictly forbidden to exchange syl
liable with any servant or to speak to
anyone who visited the hermitage. If
he lived there the full term of seven
years under these restrictions he was
to receive 700 guineas ($3 ,5OO. but he
was liable to instant dismissal with
out any payment if found departing
from the regime laid down for her
mits.
The advertisement attracted several
applicants, one of whom was select
ed; but he fled at the end of three
weeks and henceforth the hermitage
was untenanted.

DOCKAGE MAxIMS

The percentage Of dockaSe is
an essential factor in arriving
at the true value of a lot or
wheat. This dockage may con-
sist Of either useful or harmful
foreign materials.
The various methods of ham
ding dockage should be carefully
investigated and the one that is
best suited to the needs of the
local conditions should be adopt
ed.
When q large percentage Of
dOckage is present in wheat 1t
is advisable to remove it on the
farm or at the point of shipment
and thus avoid paying the
freight for the dirt, chaff, weed
seeds, etc, on the basis Of the
rate for wheat.
The farmer gets q higher
numerical grade for his wheat
under the dockage system of the
federal grades than he would I'M
der a system of grading that
does not require a determination
for dockage but lowers the grade
on account Of the total foreign
material present in the wheat
marketed at country points.
The dockage system in opera
ton protects the farmer from
the possibility Of low prices fixed
by the local buyer in order to in
sure a safe purchase on q fiat
rate basis.
