A series of interesting experiments in the preservation of eggs, carried on last year, in Germany, has just been published in an official consular report. After eight months of preservation, 400 eggs, divided into twenty different parcels for that many methods of ex periment, were examined, with heter ogenous results. Upon opening for use, the eggs presented the following results, according to the parcels origin ally numbered: 1. Eggs put tip for preservation in salt water were all bad, not rotten, but uneatable, the salt having penetrated Into the eggs. 2. Wrapped in paper, 80 per cent bad. 3. Preserved in a solution of salicylic acid and glycerine. 80 per cent bad. 4. Rubbed with salt, 70 per cent bad. 5. Preserved in bran, 70 per cent bad. 6. Provided with a covering of paraf fin, 70 per cent bad. 7. Varnished with a solution of glycerine and salicy lic acid, 70 per cent bad. 8. Put in boiling water for twelve to fifteen sec onds, 50 per cent bad. 9. Treated with a solution of alum. 50 per cent bad. 10. Put in a solution of salicylic acid, 50 per cent bad. 11. Varnished with water class. 40 rcr cent bad. 12. Varnished with collodion, 40 per cent sneuac varnish), 40 per cent uau. i. Varnished with sward. 20 per cent bad. 15. Preserved In wood ashes, 20 per cent bad. 1G. Treated with boric acid and water glass, 20 per cent bad. 17. Treated with manganate of potash. 20 per cent bad. 18. Varnished with vaseline, all good. 19. Preserved in lime water, all good. 20. Preserved In a solution of water glass, all good. The last three methods are conse quently to be considered the best ones, and especially the preservation in the solution of water glass, as varnishing the eggs with vaseline takes too much time, and the treatment with lime water sometimes communicates to the eggs a disagreeable odor and taste. There Is one drawback' with eggs pre served in a solution of water glass the shell easily bursts when placed In boiling water. It Is said this may be avoided by cautiously piercing the shell with a strong needle. Small Capital for Poultry. It Is an advantage with poultry keep ing that the beginner can make his capital; that Is, he can grow his capi tal if he will be patient, says Cole man's Rural World. What is meant is that if one commences with fifty hens he need not be compelled to buy more stock immediately, as he can prepare one year for the next He may have 200 hens the second year, and have all accommodations complete. The third year he may have a fiock of 500, and then increase every year, so that in five years his farm may contain 1,000 hens. It will extend the period over five years, hence as the beginning is with a few, the capital will be small, and, as he adds to the number of his hens, ho at the same time enlarges his capital. Now. that is a point in favor of the poultry business this gradual enlargement of the capital which makes it so attractive to many, and which also makes the business possible to those who cannot derive as large profit In proportion to capital Invested in any other pursuit. But the great difficulty is the fact that nearly all who turn their attention to poultry arc unwilling to wait five years. They are not In clined to build up a business, but en deavor to get into it the first year, with a proof from limited capital and no ex perience, the result being that the list of failures is a long one. The one who begins with a few and increases his flock gains experience as he travels along the road of progress, and, while increasing his capital through the nat ural increase of his flocks, is adding to his experience and becoming more capable of accomplishing the objects sought. The capacity of the plant is made the greater by the production of the flocks, the eggs and poultry sold being the sources of income. It may be a hardship to support a family while getting well Into the business, but the sacrifices made will be well repaid later. While building up a business, the selection of good layers from pure breeds and the escaping of disease will also assist in insuring success. Sheep liaising in Illinois. In the course of an address on thi3 subject, Hon. J. M. Bell, president of tho Illinois Sheep Breeders' associa tion, said: Fifty-five years ago we had the poor est sheep you ever saw. They would not be called sheep now. After a while we realized we had to have better sheep or quit the business. When we had to fence the sheep we got better sheep. As time went along the business didn't pay as well as we wanted it to, and we had to hav3 heavier fleeces, and they grew heavier and heavier, and then came this depression, and mutton was in demand, and the sheep we used to have were not quite the thing we thought Then we had to have a larger sheep. We put on the mutton attach ment, and I found when I made Inves tigations for the agricultural depart ment that the m?n in 18S9 who had mutton in their Cocks were pretty well satisfied, and the men who didn't have mutton in their flocks didn't know .what they were going to do. In Illinois our situation Is particu larly happy and p?rticularly sorry. We have the best land on earth. We can raise more corn than anybody. We can raise as much clover hay as anybody. We can' have the best blue grass pas tures of anybody, and just as much of them; and as yon have heard of the excellence of blue grass pasture for cattle so it is for sheep. But we are drifting in the right direction. We kept sheep a long time ago and thought we never would raise mutton in this country. It is raised everywhere now in the United States. There isn't a district out west where mutton is not included In their flocks. We can" beat the world If we try, and It Isn't v;ry hard for Illinois people to try. We are today surfbunded by corn fields. In my own county we have corn to burn. It is cheaper in Macon county than anywhere else. Why? Simply because there is no corn fed' there. Why is Nebraska 'so successful and prosperous? Why are they getting 40c a bushel for their corn fed to sheep? jrhey arc raising the corn and feeding it to the sheep right- on their farms and paying off their mortgages. Why. should wo not do the same way? This -thing will have to be done, and I in sist upon it we shall breed our own sheep. It will pay as better to feed oar corn -and oar oats and onr hay to well bred sheep than to range sheep. There" are thousands of acres of land In this country that ought never to be 'plowed another time. They should be aot Into pasture. These lands must be kept ap. These poor tanas mast a recuperated', and nothing can do It a thoroughly and quickly as afaeep. I be lieve the time Is coming, has coma, when we will have to Improve oar lands or abandon them, as theyaave la t!as older states. I have great hope in the young men of our state. They will "catch on" to the best methods of rais ing sheep, adopt all the system there is in (Commercial sheep raising, study the adaptation of breeds to tho purposes they want, and the adaptation of breeds to soiL If we will adopt commercial sheep raising in Illinois, with all it means, and breed our own sheep on our poor lands, our state will be more prosperous than it has been since the war, when our lands were newer. The flatter Conflict Abroad. The American butter-makers have a hard fight before them in their at tempts to capture the butter market In this connection the Dairy World of London says: "The high hopes of American producers do not appear to be approaching speedy realization so far as the trade in butter with this country is concerned, for if we take the season represented by the first two months of the year and compare it with the preceding season, we find that the receipts from tho United States have fallen from 46.873 cwt to 8,410 cwt The imports from Denmark, Sweden and New Zealand have, on the other hand, materially increased. An other factor which is calculated to tell against the American product is the increase in the supply of butter from Ireland, and with this increase a de cided improvement in the quality and uniformity of the article, resulting from a careful study of the require ments of the English market. It can not be said that American makers have altogether "hit off" the taste of the English consumer, the preference for a less highly flavored article being to the disadvantage of the American product The competition in butter being so keen, and the sources of pro duction so numerous thereby giving almost unlimited choice to the British purchaser it is indispensable, apart from the question of flavor, that the choicest grades only should be put upon the market, and that the greatest attention should be paid to uniformity of quality, in which there is certainly much room for improvement" Robertson Combination Silage. Prof. Henry, in his new book on "Feed and Feeding." has this to say about the Robertson combination silage: "Robertson, of the Dominion station, Ottawa, in the effort to secure a silage containing the nutrients of a balanced ration, concluded that the following mixture would prove satisfactory: Ten tons of green fodder corn, three tons of English horse beans, and one and one-half tons of sunflower heads. To secure the proper proportion of these crops under Canadian conditions, for each acre of corn there should be planted half an aero of horse beans and one-fourth of an acre of sunflow ers. This mixture was found satisfac tory In feeding trials with dairy cows and fattening steers. Since the horse bean does not thrive in the United States, except possibly in the extreme north, some other plant must be sub stituted in mixtures of this character. Mr. G. F. Weston, superintendent of the Biltraore estate. North Carolina, reports to the writer that he has found that one load cf cow pea vines mixed with two loads of green corn forage produces an excellent silage for dairy cows." Tul.crciiiotls in l!aw Milk. Conflicting testimony as to contagia bility of milk is to hand from various quarters, writes John McDougall in the' Dairy World (Loudon). Professor Law says milk is more to be dreaded than meat, being uncooked, and an infant's principal food, but that a strong con stitution protects, and instances a two months old pig fed on affected milk for six weeks, and when killed, found perfectly free and healthy, whereas rabbits inoculated with the same milk were affected in six weeks. Nocard and M'Fadzcan hold that milk from a tuberculosis cow, unless the udder is affected, is non infecting. Bang says he has examined sixty-three tu berculous cows with healthy, udders, aud found milk Infected in nino cases. Ernst testifies to the same ex perience. Dr. Amoback instances the death of his son, a healthy boy of thir teen years, suddenly taken ill and diet" in live weeks, and revealed, on post mortem, tubercular inflammation of the lungs. This boy's parents were free from any hereditary taint, but the cow, whose milk the boy had been con suming, was found suffering from ad vanced tuberculosis of the lungs when killed. I.lmlipr Neck. The newest and most fatal disease that we know of among chickens and turkeys i3 what is called "limber neck." This name is very suggestive of the prevailing symptoms of the dis ease. The first trouble one sees with a fowl is that In trying to pick up food they seem to peck everywhere but the proper spot Their necks are ab solutely so limber they have no con trol over their heads at all. In a short time often but an hour or so they squat down, stretch their necks out straight and when approached make a heart-rending squawking but are unable to lift their heads at all. There are no symptoms of cholera or any other fowl trouble present We know of one poulterer who lost over one thousand chickens last year, every affected one dying. The only recom mendation that "limber neck" has, is it doe3 its work quickly, one is never in doubt about the matter from the very first Farmers' Guide. Outlet for Our Cutter. Addressing Wisconsin dairymen. J. H. Monrad said: "During the past year several experimental shipments of creamery butter have convinced the dealers in England that if they can afford to pay our price they can get as good butter from here as anywhere. It remains to convince the consumers in England of this fact. The trouble Is that our home market in reality is the best, and for that reason It may be years before we establish a regular all-the-year-round export, but as my own private opinion I may state that I have been convinced that we have a safety valve for our pro duction and that there is no need of letting extra creamery go below 15 cents in Chicago if we will only deliver per fect milk or adopt Pasteurization, In order to secure a uniformity. It is to be hoped that this safety valve will be used pather than the usual cold storage speculation, which only depresses the market later on!" Coffee Growing in Hawaii. Coffee growing in the Sandwich Islands Is at tracting a good deal of attention at this time. Some men in the United States are ready to put money Into the business there, and are asking a great many questions of the United States consuls in the islands. All reports by the consuls are favorable, as the in dustry is being carried on bow with a good deal of success. Agates Frost. Iadiaaa Experiment Station: The direct loas from injury due to frost is of coasl'derable Importance. We hear most frequently of damage to fruit buds In the spring, and the damage to the peach crop .has become a standard joke for the funny man. The-loss of early garden crops receives less at tention, but If the total were known, it would reach quite a respectable figure. Both spriag and fall frosts often in jure the corn corp to the extent of many thousand bushels. Water is the best protection from frost The air always contains some water vapor, and the wprmer the air is the more water vapor it can contain. At 50 degrees a cubic foot of air might contain four grains of water vapor, and usually con tains about three grains. When the air cools, a point may be reached at which it cannot hold up all the water which it contains. If this is above the freezing point, some of the water vapor Is deposited ia the form of dew. But when the water changes from water vapor to liquid dew, a large amount of heat is given off and this prevents a further fall of temperature. But if the air contains so little water vapor that It can cool below the freez ing point before the water begins to deposit, the water Is deposited in the form of icy crystals and we have a frost A moist air then Is a protec tion from- frost The frequent shallow cultivation that saves soil moisture, will at the same time keep the air above the soil more moist, and will to some extent serve as protection from frost. Dr. Kidzie quotes a cir cumstance where a iecentiy cultivated corn field was not injured by a frost that cut down the corn on surround ing fields. A more diiect and effective way of protecting plants from frost Is to irrigate the land or to sprinkle the plants with water at the time the frost Is expected. In this state few farms have means of irrigating in the usual way. But there are many farms on which fruits are sprayed, and the spraying machinery may easily be used to sprinkle plants with water to protect them from frost This method has proved practical and profitable on a variety of early spring crops. An other method is to form a cloud over the field which will protect it. This Is usually accomplished by burning material at such points that the wind will blow the smoke across the field. The purpose is not to warm the air but to Interpose a layer of smoke be tween the plants and the sky, and so prevent the loss of heat For this pur pose, smudge fires giving much smoke are best Special torches made of muck and clay have been patented for this purpose. Those who have ex perimented In frost protection, seem to think that the sprinkling method is the most practical and efficient H. A. Huston, Chemist forage riant. The Nebraska Experiment Station, summarizing some experiments, says: Permanent grass pastures may be successfully substituted by certain an nual forage plants. A quick-growing variety of sorghum affords pasture fully equal to native or cultivated grasses. Sorghum has the advantage of afford ing more forage per acre, and in being green and succulent throughout the en tire summer. Its disadvantage consists in the necessity of plowing the land for each crop. One acre of sorghum will furnish pas ture for ten cowb twelve days. The most profitable time to pasture iorghura is after it has attained its height, and before heading. irnttpnine Beeves. Corn will bo higher than it was last year. Wc will feed our young steers more corn fod der and less grain because of this, but the steers designed for market will re ceive all the grain they will be able to digest With corn at 40 cents per bushel and a large quantity of low priced roughness, it would pay to feed freely of the latter anu less or xne former, taking a longer time in fatten ing. Years ago the writer satisfied himself that it did not pay to feed young steers grain whan they wero on good pasture in Illinois, and that, on the other hand. It was a mistake to drop the grain feed for. cattle de signed to be marketed fat during the summer, however good the pasturage was. Wallace's Farmer. Suggestions on Fruit. In his annual ada;es3 President Goodrich of the Illi nois Horticultural Society remarked that it was a strange fact that many men place fruit in the list of luxuries and tobacco and cigars in the list t necessities. In reference to treatment of the orchard after it begins to fruit he considered it a good plan to put in tho hogs when the apples begin to Tall, for they will cat the fallen apples as fast as they fall and thus destroy the worms contained in them. He called attention to the fact that California fruit and fruit grown on the irrigated areas Is coming more and more intc competition with our fruit In the east ern markets. Trees in Commerce. At an Illinois horticultural meeting Geo. J. Foster read a paper on trees and their effects on man. He advocated the better pro tection of the forests and the encour agement by forestry, and lamented the disappearance of our magnificent trees. In reply C. G. Winn said: "This Js an iron age and not a wooden one. -Wood as a building material Is pass ing. Our lumbermen used to sell large quantities of fencing lumber. Ask them how much they sell now.and they will tell you, 'nothing. Wire has taken the place of boards for fences, and other forms of iron are rapidly taking the place of wood everywhere." Attacking the Lice. The first at tack made on the lice in the spring should be in the way of burning their resorts, the old nests and the old roosts. When these arc disposed of the way for further attack will be paved. If the walls are smooth and without cracks It will be easy to put on a good coating of whitewash that will put to rest all question of red mites. New roosts can be made and new nest boxes. The dust box can be emptied and refilled with new and fresh dust. The hens will then take up the work and will rid themselves of lice by means of the dust bath. Meat In Berlin and Paris. Paris de vours yearly 100,000 head of cattle .more than are eaten in Berlin, but the Berlincrs find a market for 2o0,C00 calves, while the Parisians use but 50, 000; and 700,000 hogs are eaten in the Prussian capital to 330.0C0 in Parte. Paris eats 1.800,000 sheep, however, or four time3 as many as Berlin, and 20, 000 horses, er five times as many as are used by Berlin. Ex. A cattle boom is on, and farmers should be careful not to lose their heads. If not very .careful they will find themselves paying big prices for poor animals. This Is always the ex perience la boom times. TWO COSTLY TRAINS. Chleago, auiwaakee aad SC Paal Now Beats the World.

Smith, BO Summer St., Biddefonl, Me.: "For several years I suffered with various diseases peculiar to my sex. Was troubled with a burning' sensation across the small of my back, that all gone feeling, was despondent, fretful and discouraged; the least exertion tired me. I tried several doctors but received little benefit. At last I de cided to give your Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. The ef fect of the first bottle was magical. Those symptoms of weakness that I was afflicted with, vanished like vapor before the sun. I cannot speak too highly of your valuable remedy.. It is truly a boon to woman." From Mrs. Melissa Pnnxips, Lex ington, Ind., to Mrs. Pinkham: "Before I began taking your medicine I had suffered for two years with that tired feeling, headache, backacl-e. noap pctite, and a run-down condition of the system. I could not walk across the room. I have taken four bottles of the Vegetable Compound, one box of Liver Pills and used one package of Sanative Wash, and now feel like a new woman, and am able to do my work." From Mrs. Molliis E. IIj:r.nEL, Pow ell Station, Tenn.: "For three years I su ffcrcd with such a weakness of the back, I could not perform my household duties. I also had falling of the womb, terrible bearing-down pains and headache. 1 have taken two bottles of Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound and feel like a new woman.
