Give the hens clean nests and plenty
of them.
Gather eggs twice daily during warm
weather and daily during other sea
sons.
Handle eggs just as little as possi
ble. Every time they are handled they
deteriorate.
Market eggs of the correct size, 24
to 28 ounces per dozen.
Overly large or very small eggs
should be culled out.
Clean eggs only will bring best
prices. Have clean nests and clean
houses. Never wash the eggs as it
spoils the bloom and spoils the keep
ing quality. The last thing a hen does
before laying air egg is to deposit a
fluid about it which seals it, as it were,
and acts as a protection.
Produce infertile eggs. They stand
shipment better than fertile eggs; they
do not develop germs, withstand the
heat, cost less to produce, and seldom
decay from any trouble In the Interior
of the egg. Kill, sell or confine the
mature male birds as soon as the
hatching season is over.
Keep the eggs in a cool place. A
dry, cool room, or a dry, cool basement
or cellar, will prevent shrinkage, mold
and chick development.
Don t let eggs come In contact with
bad odors such as paints, kerosene,
cabbage or decaying vegetables or
meat.
Held eggs deteriorate. They shrink
in w eigne, evaporation takes place and
they lose their flavor and freshness.
Market the eggs twice a week in hot
weather.
Keep one variety of poultry and pro
duce eggs of one color.
Market your eggs in clean, 30-dozen
cases, or in cartons holding one dozen
eggs, depending upon the demand.
Don’t expose eggs to flies and dust
and dirt and thus s]x>il their appear
ance.
Confine broody hens or remove them
at once to the hatching department.
Never expose market eggs to the di
rect rays of the sun, to extreme heat
or to rain.
Keep the poultry houses free from
vermin, clean and sanitary.
Feed wholesome food and provide
pure water in clean vessels.
Sell your eggs only to buyers who
buy loss-off and who are willing to pay
you for quality.
How to Keep Bread Fresh.
Bread may be kept a long time In a
suitable oxygen-free atmosphere. In
a recent American Chemical society
paper, Arnold Wahl pointed out that
as the bread cools, the carbon dioxide
in its pores is condensed and dissolved
in the free water of the bread, and the
resulting vacuum causes an absorp
tion of gases from the atmosphere.
Cooled in ordinary air, oxidation of the
protein by the absorbed gas renders
the bread stale in a few hours. Mr.
Wahl has found preferable an atmos
phere of carbon dioxide freshly pro
duced by fermentation, and when
cooled in this the bread is so modified
as to remain fresh several weeks.
f Ignoring Each Other’s Faults
Brings Happy Wedded Life
By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY.
ji'u lam wc i r-ciu ui auc—
We two once more? •
Are these your tears that wet my face
Just as before?
It does not augur well for fu
ture happiness for a bride or groom
to commence
finding fault
with each other
ere the honey
moon has barely
waned. Marriage
is always an eye
opener to the
most romantic,
deluded pair. It
is wisdom for
both to hold the
tongue concern
ing what they
have found out
about each other.
If the wife
likes to set up in
to the wee sma’
hours reading
Inov t
the husband never dreamed she pos
sessed—he will not gain in her opinion
or affections by railing crossly at
her. The memory of an unkind word
can last for years. Wise is the man
who would calmly remark: “When you
iiave finished reading, be sure you
turn the light quite out and see that
the door is locked,” then turn his back
and drift peacefully out into the land
3t dreams. Wifey would not be half
so apt 10 turn me pages over tania
lizingly until broad daylight.
If a wife discovers her bridegroom
spends half of his salary in cigars
and treating friends—is actually a
spendthrift, a fact she never knew be
fore—instead of raising a great row
over the missing sum from his week
ly pay envelope, stie should by wom
anly tact and loving kindness wean
him from his fault by degrees with
out giving him so much as a hint that
she had discovered his weakness and
was devoting all her energies to but
tling silently against it. If she de
nounced him as a spendthrift, he
would lose at once his fear of her
finding it out.
And so on with the trifling faults
of each to the greater ones. The rea
son why some married couples cannot
agree Is because they find singular
pleasure in throwing up to each other
the faults they have discovered.
Married life, in the majority of
cnses. consists of keeping tab on each
other and keeping to oneself what she
or he finds out. Those who adhere
to this plan have a fairly happy life
of it together. The couples who taunt
each other with what they know of
each other’s faults or follies wrangle
all through their wedded days, having
a wretched existence of it.
Eve could not keep a secret. She
divulged what she had found out. It
is natural for her daughters to fol
low her example. Then trouble will
catch them if they don’t watch out.

Race Origins.
Herbert Bruce Hannay, an English
man, has written a book on “European
and other Race Origins,” In which,
taking various peoples back to their
earliest ancestors, he sets forth that
the Prussians are the descendants of
the Ishmaelites, the Dutch and Hes
sians of the Hlttltes, the French of the
Canaanites, the Slavs of the Medes,
the non-Prussians and non-Hessian
Germans of the Persians, and the Eng
lish of the house of Judah. He is
quite certain that the English, not
withstanding their alleged descent
from the Angles, the Saxons and the
-- W
Jutes, are not Teutons, but hark back
to the Hebrew race. It will be re
called that a theory like unto this was
advanced by a Lieutenant Totten, who
proved to his own satisfaction that the
people of England and most of the
people of America were of Saxon ori
gin and that the word Saxons was
itself a corruption of “Isachsohns,”
that is, sons of Isaac, the son of Abra
ham.—Indianapolis News.
To Tell Pure Butter.
In these days when oleomargarine
or process butter can hardly be distin
guished from the genuine article, it is
well for every woman to know a simple
test or two that will aid in detecting
the genuine from imitation. Pure but
ter, if melted, should be clear; if it
is cloudy, it is the manufactured prod
uct. Put a little butter in a spoon, and
hold it over a flame. If it sputters and
crackles noisily, it is oleomargarine;
pure butter bubbles without sputtering.

BARREL OF APPLES PAID
FOR HURLER NOW FAMOUS
—
That Is All Connie Mack Got for Stan
ley Coveleskie, Star Pitcher of
the Cleveland Team.
Every once in a while the papers
used to print a story about a pitcher
who was with the Washington club,
and who, according to the yarn, had
once been traded for a hunting dog.
Whether the tale was true or not, it
made good reading for the fans.
But Connie Mack has that beaten.
The Washington pitcher never amount
Stanley Coveleskie.
ed to anything as a big leaguer. Con
nie got a barrel of Oregon apples for
one of the present hurlers of the
country. And he wasn’t even asked if
the price was satisfactory.
Stanley Coveleskie, who has been do- i
ing great work for Cleveland, got his !
first major league trial with the Ath
letics a few years ago. He pitched
three or four games, in one of which
he shut out the Tigers.
Connie didn’t think the lad was quite
ready. So he sent him to Portland,
Ore., with a proviso that he could be
repurchased. This was very necessary,
inasmuch as the Cleveland club, for
several years, has had first call on all
Portland players.
While Coveleskie was with Portland
there was some change in the organi
zation of the club, which involved the
making out of new papers. The owner
ship forgot to protect Mack’s claim
to Coveleskie, and when the deal was
completed Cleveland had a grip on him.
Mack naturally protested, holding ;
that the player belonged to his club, j
in which he probably was right. But
he never got any action. All that he
did get was the barrel of Oregon ap
ples, sent to him by the club owners,
apparently as a peace offering.
Connie says that a pitcher is a pret
ty cheap buy at the price of a barrel
of apples, even if fruit is away up at
this time. Anyone with another Cove
leskie to peddle can get a carload of
apples from Mack, or from any other
manager.
Silk Net Is Durable.
Silk nets, expensive, of course, but
more durable than tulle, come in every
color of the rainbow and every shade
of the colors. They have less crisp
airiness than tulle, but are very lovely
and so soft that they allow great full
ness of skirt or flounces.
Made over chiffon, they must be
held out by crinoline or a petticoat, if
they are to stand out; but many wom
en like fullness without exaggerated
flare or silhouette width, and a satin
lining with enough satin frankly used
on the outer part of the frock to raise
the slip from the rank of linings, is
often used in place of chiffon. A bit
of plain color in substantial material
is, in fact, introduced upon the out
side of many of the filmiest frocks.
Restricted Means.
She—Somebody said you were loony,
but 1 wish you were more like the
moon than you are.
He—Why do yon wish that?
She—Because then you would put
off getting full till you had gm» down
to your last quarter.
LIVESTOCK IS NECESSARY FOR FERTILITY |
HERD OF DUAL-PURPOSE SHORTHORN COWS.
itiy u. tomsunj
Comparatively few farms are adapt
ed to strictly special purposes and
fewer farmers are inclined to special
ized vocations. The income on the
farm is usually of larger value when
derived from several sources. The
maintenance of live stock is a neces
sity in order to maintain fertility. The
production of live stock necessitates
grasses for pastures and meadows
which' conserve and build up the soil
fertility. Crop rotation naturally fol
lows.
The question arises as to what breed
of live stock is best adapted to the
conditions and will insure the largest
returns. Long experience has proved
the combination of beef and milk pro
duction the most profitable and best
adapted to the varying conditions in
all parts of the country. Here and
there a man devotes his entire atten
tion and resources to beef making; ex
clusive dairying is engaged in by a
limited number; but the great mass
of farmers are neither inclined to nor
situated so that they can engage to the
best advantage in these individual or
specialized lines.
The breed of cattle that meets the
needs of this large aggregation of av
erage farmers, that suits their condi
tions. that may be relied upon to yield
a profitable return, is the breed that
experience has shown combine a prof
itable yield of both beef and milk.
There are several breeds that combine
to a greater or less degree these char
acteristics. The Shorthorn is the
most widely disseminated and has
been bred in greater numbers for
many generations. The distinctive
characteristics of the breed are adapt
ed to the conditions described. When
not in milk the cows readily take on
flesh, and if occasionally one does not
yield a liberal flow, she quickly con
verts the feed consumed into beef and
is thus working toward the profit mark
through one channel or the other all
of the time. The calves, if the owner
desires to dispose of them, are eagerly
sought for feeders and butchers at
advanced prices. If they are devel
oped on the farm they make liberal
gains and attain larger weights at a
given age than most other breeds. The
quality of flesh has always made the
Shorthorn popular at the packing cen
ters. Combined with these advantages,
i tne hnortnorn nas a aociie tempera
! ment that has long been a factor in its
I popularity. Shorthorn blood has a
very decided potency and improves all
classes of stock upon which it may
be used.
The Live Stock Journal, London,
England, July 20 issue, states edito
rially as follows:
“In the matter of the adaptability
of breeds let it never be forgotten that
the great source of improved beef
blood the world over has been the
Shorthorn. The milk stock of New
England and the Longhorn of Texas
! both received their first improvement
through tne heritage from Bates and
Booth and the Codings. In the blue
grass region the sons and daughters
of Durham found their best environ
ment, and the Shorthorn became then,
as it still remains, the backbone of
the corn belt and the stay of the gen
eral farmer. In the West and South
west the first ‘warming up’ given the
scrub and Mexican cattle was at the
hands of this breed; the rise in the
beef industry in the Argentine is al- :
most inseparable from the expansion
of the Shorthorn interests, while from
70 to SO per cent of the Australasian
chilled beef is evolved from grass be
neath red. white and roan pelts. In
such a manner this British breed of
generalized achievement encircles
the world. Its adaptability grants it
the pioneering quality; its all-around
usefulness decrees its permanence.”
The Polled Durham is the hornless
Shorthorn, and a favorite with many
on account of its hornless feature. The
red Polled breed is also a favorite in
some sections and combines the beef
and milk characteristics. But the
Shorthorn has been the favorite from
one end of the country to the other
because of the several qualities that
are combined and that are produced
from generation to generation, work
ing improvement wherever applied.
It is this dual purpose characteristic
that suits the purposes of the great
mass of farmers who, for various rea
sons, do not engage in specialized
farming. Mixed husbandry has long
been recognized as the foundation of
our agricultural prosperity and the
Shorthorn has admirably and success
fully contributed in large measure to
the advancement of diversified farm

DISINFECT POULTRY
HOUSE FOR VERMIN
Sunshine Is Most Effective and
Economical Germicide That
Can Be Thought Of.
(By N. L HARRIS, Kansas State Agri
cultural College.)
One is safe in using almost any of
the .-ommou coal-tar dips that are on
the market for disinfecting poultry
houses. The most Inexpensive of these
products are the common stock dips
which should be mixed at home. Most
of the poultry sprays on the market
are nothing more than the stock dips
ready for use.
The eggs of mites hatch in from
seven to ten days, so In order to get rid
of vermin It Is necessary to follow the
two-week rule. Occasionally the en
tire honse should be sprayed. The
spray is made up to a strength of 3 per
cent cr three parts coal tar dip to 97
parts of water. Common kerosene is
also effective in getting rid of lice and
mites. It is used in proportion of 97
parts kerosene to three parts coal-tar
preparation. The ordinary hand or
backet spray pump is used. The most
effective and economical germicide
that can be used at any time of the
year Is sunshine.
COLT REQUIRES BOTH
ATTENTION AND FEED
Growing Foal Needs More Food
Than Milk Given by Dam to
Make Mature Weight.
(By PROF. M. G. THORNBURG, Depart-'
aient of Animal Husbandry. Iowa State
College.)
To make an 1,800-pound horse at
maturity, the colt should weigh from
BOO to 700 pounds at- weaning time
and 1,000 pounds at one year. To
make the usual standard of 60 per
cent mature weight at 12 months,
the growing colt needs more food than
the milk given him by his mother. -
Some oats, fed in a separate box so
bis mother cannot get it, is better for
growth than com because it is a more
balanced feed. A little bran and corn
will do if the oats are not available.
Even if the colt is on pasture, he needs
a little grain.
If the mare is working, the colt
should not follow her, wearing him
self out in the hot sun. He should
have a clean, well-ventilated box stall
or lot to run in where he can get his
feed while his mother is working. A
little clover hay and water will keep
him contented. The fences and sides
of the stall need to be in good shape,
else he is likely to get tangled op and
hurt himself.
If he has the run of the lot, he will
get more exercise, which is essential
in developing a strong colt. If the
mother and colt are out on grass on
idle days and nights, the grass will in
crease the mother’s milk flow and the
colt will soon learn to nibble at the
grass. If the colt eats grass and hay
when he is weaned, he will not notice
the change and keep right on growing.
COW IS DESERVING
OF ESSENTIAL REST
Without It Animal Cannot Lay Up
Requisite Supply of Fat for
New Lactation Period.
(By CARL K. JOHNSON. Idaho Experi
ment Station.)
The accumulated experience of pro-,
gressive dairymen proves that a cow
should have a rest between lactation
periods. If milked continuously up to
the time of freshening, the period into
which she freshens will be less profit
able than the preceding. Without rest
it Is impossible for her to renew her
depleted strength or to lay up a sup
ply of fat for the new lactation period,
nor can she properly nourish the now
rapidly growing foetus.
It may seem like wasting feed to lay
fat on a cow’s body, but In reality It
is not, for the fat will later appear as
fat in the milk. Moreover, when a cow
freshens she Is usually more or less
feverish, and her digestion impaired
to a certain extent. To place her on
fall feed at this time is to invite trou
ble. But if she is in good condition
the withholding of her feed will result'
In uo harm, inasmuch as her needs
will be taken care of by the fat stored
on the body. A thin cow has no such
reserve and one has to choose between
decreased production or take chances
on her powers to stand up under full
feed.
A cow should be given at least six
weeks’ rest. If intermittent and par
tial milking fails to dry her up, with-,
holding the grain ration and feeding
roughage such as timothy and straw
will be found helpful. Ten day*! or
two weeks should be allowed a cow to
reach full feed after freshening.
Orchard Neglected.
A large orchard poorly planted and
poorly tended will not produce as good
results as fewer trees well cultivated.
Keeping Fat Record.
Are you keeping a butterfat record
at your cows? If not, try it, and you
will find many surprises.
Sharp Teeth.
It pays to keep plow points and cul
tivator teeth sharp. A dull tool will
sever do effective work.
Fresh Air and Sunlight.
Fresh air and sunlight In the farm
er’s house and barn will promote the
health of his family and his cattle.
Using Old Methods.
There is no need for any farmer to
keep on farming in the same old hap*
hazard way.
Cause of Epidemics.
Epidemics of scarlet fever and diph
theria are caused. by contaminated
milk.
Fine Expression.
In a review of a novel we come
across this suggestive sentence: “Here,
too, characters that transmute com
mon things into gold by the alchemy of
tlie spirit.” The finest thought of the
day is expressed by that modest sen
tence. The great problem in religion,
education, business, politics, and so
ciety concerns itself with that trans
mutation. It suggests a finer life than
one gets out of the materialism of the
age, with its luxury, pleasure, selfish
ness, ill will, spite, and overreaching.
The evolution of the day is toward the
sanctification of every-day experience
and infusing heroism into common life.
That is what must eventually happen
if humanity ever gets to be what it
should be. It is a long way to that
end, longer, perhaps, than from the
monad to man, as Emerson expresses
it, but thither the evolution proceeds.
Its Purpose.

GRAND AMERICAN HANDICAP
The Greatest Trapshooting Event of
the Year, Won with Winchester
“Repeater" Shells.
The Grand American Handicap, the
trapshooting classic, equivalent to the
World's Series in Baseball, the highest
honor the world has to bestow in trap
shooting, the event that marks the cli
max in the trapshooter’s career, was
won by Capt. J. F. Wulf, of Milwau
kee, with the wonderful score of 99x100
from the 19-yard mark. In making this
great win he shot Winchester “Re
peater” loaded shells.
The National Amateur Champion
ship was won by F. M. Troeh, of the
State of Washington. Mr. Troeh also
took second place for National Ama

so won the Mound City Overture, and
the General Average on all targets, and
General Average on 16-yard targets.
In winning all these events, Mr. Troeh
used a Winchester repeating shotgun.
The Women’s National Champion
ship, the first event of the kind ever
staged at a Grand American Handicap,
was won by Mrs. J. D. Dalton, of War
saw, Indiana, with a Winchester re
peating shotgun.
The Dunspaugh Trophy, emblematic
of the Professional Championship, was
won by Phil R. Miller with a Winches

The Hercules All-round Amateur
Championship was won by Edw. L.
Bartlett, of Baltimore, with Winches

match to win, as it called for 50 singles
at 18, 20, 22 yards, respectively, and 25
doubles at 16 yards.
This was a great cleanup for Win

COLLIE SAVED CHILDS LIFE
Dog Pulled Little Girl From Track as
Car Was Running Her
Down.
Buster, a handsome collie, known to
the friends of his mistress. Miss Lil
lian Matteer, as a dog of unusual sa
gacity, is a neighborhood hero, says
the Boston Post. Especially is he a
hero in the eyes of Mrs. Lizzie Cock
burn, mother of eight-year-old Jennie
Cockburn, whom he saved from death
when he pulled her away from a track
just as an electric car was running
her down.
Miss Matteer is a friend of the Cock
burns and a frequent visitor at their
home. Buster often accompanies her
and is weii acquainted with little Jen
nie. When Jennie saw Miss Matteer
and Buster approaching the Cockburn
house, she ran across the road to meet
them, stepping directly into the path
of a trolley car.
Then, when she realized her danger,
Jennie became confused and stood still
on the track. As the white-faced motor
man started to apply the brakes, Bus
ter darted forward and seized the lit
tle girl by her dress, pulling her to
safety.

pect kidney trouble. When the kid

symptoms; scanty, painful or too fre
quent urination, headaches, dizziness,
or rheumatic pains. Don't wait for
these troubles to become serious—use
Doan’s Kidney Pills at once. You’ll
find no better-recommended remedy.
