cred with cloth. This method of pack,
Ing may be used where eggs are
shipped both by express and by par.
Gel post.
Extra stiff cardboard cartons made
to hold from one to several settings
are used to ship eggs. These cartons.
or egg boxes, are fitted with handle
for carrying. similar to that on a
market basket. Bushel baskets are
commonly used to ship from ten to
twelve settings of eggs, the manner
OF packing and covering being the
same as in common market baskets.
1t is customary TO "rest" eggs for
Matching for about 70 hours after
they are received to allow the germ to
regain Its normal position before the
eggs are placed in the incubator.

WHAT is CHEAP FERTILIZER
Cost Per Ton Does Not Always Mean
Most -High-Analysis
Is Always Best.

The fertilizer that is cheap per ton
is not necessarily the most profitable
one to use. IN case Of factory-mixed
fertilizer, the reverse is generally
true. Invariably high-analysls mixed
fertilizers furnish plant food at lower
price per unit than do those of low
analysis. and will generally be found
to return greater profit on the invest
ment.

The discovery of human hair in the
tomb Of Tut-Ankh-Amen suggests a
parallel between Korean and Egyptian
funeral customs. The Korean. when
be buries his ancestor, places with
him in the grave not only the precious
porcelain vessels from which he ate
and drank, but also all the nail par
ings and hair combings of his life.
Similar customs are said to exist in
many other countries. Probably the
custom is due TO the widespread su-
perstition that in order TO bewlteh a
person It is necessary to have some
part of his body, such as hair or nail,
and that these remnants are bhried
so that they may not fall into the
bands Of an enemy of the dead man.

Along the north shore of Cuba, near
the sea at its eastern end, in three
areas which formerly appeared to be
simply expenses of barren ferruginous
soil, recent exploration and test have
shown that there exist deposits of a

100000 or 3.n0OO00,O00 tons. When de.
prived of the large percentage of wa.
ter which 1t contains, this ore will

Ore from this source has already been

One Man Is Killed
 And Woman Missing

RENO, New, July 6.-Goldfield "boom" gold mining camp, estab- lished in 1904, was swept by fire to- day. Reports from Tonopah, 30 miles from the burned town, were, that at o'clock this evening, the flames, after doing damage estimated at S1,- 500,00O, were burning themselves out Nine city blocks in the heart of the town were burned out by flames famed by a wind of 40 miles per hour velocity. Telephone and tele- graph wires were severed by the blaze soon after the fire started at e:45 o'clock this morning and all word since then has been received by courier.
 One man is dead from causes at- tributable to the fire; Q woman is missing and is believed to have per ished and several persons were treat ed for burns.
 'Goldfield will come back" was the word sent here after the camp had made hasty estimate of it's losses and placed them at perhaps s1,5OO.O 900.
 Foodstuffs and clothing were be- ing rushed into the burned town to- night from nearby communities. principally from Tonopah, where the Wye county commissioners hastily formed relief committee during the day.
 Many refugees had opportunity to salvage their household effects and truck them into the hills, despite the heat of the flames.
