Top Price Always Paid
for First Glass EGGS

Here are some suggestions for the
production of good eggs. and for mar
keting them to get top prices:
Keep hens that produce, not only a
goodly number Of eggs, but eggs Of
moderately large size averaging two
ounces
Be sure the laying fiocks are well
housed, are fed and watered regularly
and, above all, have clean, dry nests.
Gather the eggs every day and,
when the temperature is very hot or
very cold, gather them twice a day.
Pen up all broody hens as soon as
discovered and keep them off the lay
ing hens nests
Place all summer eggs, as soon as
gathered, in the coolest place avail
able.
Get rid of young cockerels before
they begin to annoy the hens. Also
sell or confine old male birds from the
time spring Matching Is over until cool
weather In the fall.

Tomatoes Rank Third
Among Truck Crops
Need Improvement in Grow
ing, Grading and Packing.

| prepared by the United States Department.
VI Agriculture.l
The tomato now ranks third In Inn
portance among our truck crops, and,
according to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, the demand for
high-quality or slicing tomatoes is In
creasing. Because there is need for
improvement In the cultural methods
and quality of the tomatoes grown for
the early market, the department has
published Farmers Bulletin 1898,
which Is largely summary of the
methods and results Of tomato grow
ers who have been especially success
full. The present need of the early
and truck-crop tomato industry Is not
increased acreage but general i'm
provement in the, growing, grading
packing and marketing of the crop.
Suitable soil, good seed, and we'll
grown plants are the foundation for
the production OF early tomatoes Of
high quality, and a number of seed
firms are now making speciality Of
strains and varieties that are adapted
to the work. Marked progress has
also been made In the development OF
strains that are resistant to disease,
Eight or ten varieties of tomatoes are
included In the list for early growing,
but the bulk Of the southern crop
grown for shipment consists of Globe
Acme, Beauty and Early Detroit. In
the North Central and Eastern states
the Bonny Best, John Baer, Earliana,
Greater Baltimore, Acme and Stone
are leaders. In California the Stone
Is most generally grown.
The bulletin discusses in detail the
culture of tomatoes as a market-gar-
den crop and will be found of value
to those interested in the production

cured free OF charge from the United
States Department OF Agriculture

ply lasts.

mobile traffic in Michigan boulevard.
The check made at the bridge was
part Of comprehensive tabulation ex-
tending from the bridge to Twenty
second street. One hundred and sixty
men were engaged In the compilation,
as many as thirteen working at one
time on one particular intersection.
Not only were vehicles enumerated,
but their speeds were checked, their
direction noted, and the difference in
flow between north and south and east
and west traffic noted. The results
will be applied to the arrangements
made for the signals in the new tow
ers, further compilation being made
after they begin operation for the pur-
pose of checking up.
Special attention was paid to the
figures for the bridge for the two rush
hours of the day, 8 to in the morning
and 5 rs to 6:15 In the evening. In
the morning it was found that success
sive tabulations every Is minutes gave
the following figures: North bound,
POI, 2Os, 257, 301; south bound, sol.
766. 634, COZ, giving a total for both
ways of 1886. In the evening similar
enumerations revealed: North bound.

Big Memorial to Big Educational Idea

This spring satisfactory bowlder
was located on the south bluff of the
Illinois river opposite Peru The stone
was blue-gray In color and ideal in
shape for marker. 1t rested In a
bed of limestone ON the side of the
bluff. But it weighed 10000 pounds !
The problem was how to get this great
mass of rock to Granville.
The bowlder was lacked up out Of
it's resting place and put on rollers.
An incline plane was constructed down
the bluff to a roadway. The huge
stone was eased down an inch at a
time until it rested on heavy stone
wagon. Three teams Of heavy draft
horses pulled the wagon with its ten
ton burden by easy stages to the high
school grounds, where it was depos-
tied upon a steel REINFORCED concrete
base.
The plans upon which the Univer-
sity of Illinois and SO other colleges
in the United States were created as
concentrated in the monument, was
first proposed by Prof. Jonathan Bald
win Turner Of Jacksonville, pioneer
educator Of Illinois, who is said to
have done more for education In this
state than any other person. The plan
was fought for by Illinoisans and final
ly the law was signed by an Illinoisan
as president-Abraham Lincoln.

liable to charge horse and rider. You
punch cattle years an years an years
and then you punch buffalo as post
graduate course"
Bob was asked to tell something Of
the wonderful herd of Yellowstone
buffalo, which now has grown to pro-
portions assuring the preservation Of
this historic American animal
First you should understand" he
said, that there are two bands of wild
buffalo In the park. About thirty
range in the Pelican creek section and
about forty-seven in the Lamar river
valley.
"The tame herd Is kept at the buff
falo ranch, about twenty-five square
miles, from Lamar valley to Cold
creek. There are 578 big ones. About
40 calves were born this spring.
"The monarch of the herd is now
Commodore He's six foot one inch
high at the hump, and the buffalo on
the nickel, modelled from the bull at
the New York zoo, was only five foot
eight inches. The biggest buffalo ever
weighed was about $500 pounds, and
/ think Commodore and one or two
other bulls are as heavy, If not
heavier"
The ranch is now a show-place of
the world.

Buffalo Punching a New Art and Fast

ODY, WYO.-Llfe in the "wild
n West" has changed a lot in
4 the last few decades. Never
theless the changing times
have brought to the West at least one
Sew vocation which Is as wild and
dangerous as the most ardent old
timer ever dreamed Of. That is the
pleasant job of buffalo herding. OF
course, there isn't very big demand
for buffalo punchers and the only ones
ever met around here are Bob La
combe. chief buffalo herder at the yell
lowstone National park, and his as
sistant, Jimmy Dupuis.
Bob and Jimmy, aided by "Scotty"
Bauman OF the Tower Falls ranger
station, recently drove herd of IT
buffalo bulls from the buffalo ranch,
In the northeastern part of the park,
to the buffalo corral near Mammoth
Hot Springs. so the tourists wouldn't
fail to see the animal that made Bill
Cody famous.
Buffalo-punching is much like cow
punching" Bob said, shut it's much
faster-maybe five times faster. A
buffalo can get over any fence lower
than eight feet, and our fences at the
ranch are twelve feet. Buffalo are
dangerous at all times, especially in
the rutting season, when the bulls are
