On Oct 31 the Inteniatlnnal egx Uy Ing contest, which hud been cointnctrd for a full your ut tho KtoriB Agrj.-ui tural college. In Connecticut, came li a close. The contest, which has been frequently retried In this department has been one of unusual interest m well as of treat prnctjcnl value. Pn feasor Congrove, who ha bad super vUlon of the contest, lu speaking of the practical value of the contest culls particular attention to the fact that with projier care the tenderest breed were kept In the severe and chuugenble New ICuglund cllniuto In open front hoimes night nnd day, with too few birds In a house to affect Its tempera ture. Only seventeen birds died dur ing the year, which waa less thuu 30 per cent, which shows the healthful ncHM of plenty of fresh nlr ns well hm the splendid care nnd feeding whicb the fowls huve. The dual count, as kept, gives first prize for best pen ot tlvo hens to tho White Leghorns of K. G. Yost of I'enriH.vlvunla, bis fowls having In Id 1.071 e'gs. or an average of 'JM.2 each. The owner gets as rewards two $100 silver cups, n cash prize of Jf.0 and several minor prizes. Swond pln'e In tho contest was won by u pen of White Wyaudottes owned by lieu lab farm, Ontario, these birds making a score of 1,011) eggs, but two eggs be:. hind the winning pen. The Mar wood farm pen of White Leghorns made a score of 1.012 eggs and was tho only other pen to umke a score better than n thousand eggs. The next six places In the contest were won hy pens of White Leghorns with scores ranging from KS2 dowu to 018 eggs each. The remaining seven pens to make a score of more than IK0 eggs were respective ly In order of performance. Huff Leg horns. Brown Leghorns, 8. (J. Itluxie island lteds (two peimi. White Wyau dottes, 1 1 n r red Hocks and White Plym outh Hocks. The best authenticated record of any Individual bird was made by n H, C. Uhode Island red pullet belonging to Mrs. Harris Lehman or Kentucky, her scoreca rd sho w I ng I'M eggs. I ro fesaor Cosgrove contends that special 'mention should bo made of the pen of Kngllsti White Leghorn belonging to Mr. Itnrrnu. which led in the early mouths of the race, and for some time after until two of the the layers died. It Is thouuht that had this pen remain ed Intact It would have won tlrst place with ease. Immediately upon conclu sion of the contest summarized above another contest, to last a year, was started. Tho contest Is valuable chief ly because It has directed (he atten tion of poultry raisers to practical per formance In oyg production rather than to tine points and tine fenthers, features that are unduly emphasized lu tho average poultry show. "MULTUM IN PARVO." It Is quite natural that the Individual creamery patron should consider It h small matter that his cream Is of such quality as to reduce the price of his pro rata shnre of the butter product a cent a pound, It Is true, perhaps. (hat In his case It would not amount to very nuiny dollnra a year. Hut when all or a considerable number of the dairy farmers of a state take this same nttltude and continue to be careless with their milk and cream the total amount Inst runs Into a huge amount In bulletin No. 220 of the Wisconsin experiment station Professor Menken dorf takes up this very question ami proves iH'yond question that If the quality of the lu",0OO,isiO pounds ot luittfr which the farmers of that stilt produce annually tvnld In improved so that Its value would be Increased 1 font lor pound the butter output ot the slate would I worth a mllltou dollars more than It Is now. This Is a nice Illustration of ttie old truth "much In little." PRIMITIVE AGRICULTURE, In purl lens uf Kcypt the raising of : wheat Is carried on in the Mine prlmi live way thai was In vogue when the ' I'tumiolts were building the pyramids The sell Is milled nlxut n bit with a I primitive plow In Die sb.iie of a crook ed slick. Ibe seiil wheal Is sown by j hand mid covered by crude nikes, while ; In ibe luirvesilng process the hand ' sickle Is still used, the grain being J placed In piles and loaded by hnmi on i Hie backs of camels for transportation ! to the ilimshlng places It Is a far ! cry from these primitive tilling and harvesting processes to the triple Kits tractor oulllts which turn over a win bine! furrow fifty-four feet wide an acre every four minutes and the reap ers pulled In gangs hy tractors and cut ting UuudrvOs of acres lu a day. CUBAN QUEEN CORN. A nurtti Iowa reader or this depart ment recently brought the writer a sample of the variety of field com known as the Cuban Qneoa. It l a yellow dent variety, having a color nud Kernel formation somew hat resembling Rcld'n Yellow IVnt. However, tile Kernels are coarser and not bo deep The cars run from eight and a balf to nine Inches In length and have a cir cumference near the butt of eight niches. The cob ta large, and the ear rsper rather sharply at the tip ed In our fneud'a ease this variety yleul inI seventy bushels to the acre on bled that up to a year ago had been pretty vistenwtioally salnneiV A strong po'ot in r:ivir of this variety seems to he that It matur.- well In latitude 43 degrees.

That the merchantH of Roseburgi will refuse to pay their occupation taxes in the event the proposed in crease is embodied in an ordinance to come before the council for finnl consideration tonight, was tho decla ration of a well known merchant here this afternoon. "Mlcelll and. his council cannot Impose on the mer chants of this city," said this parti cular individual, "neither can we be made to pay a legitimate debt con tracted by the city through an illegit imate tax as proposed. We have em Now for Christmas We are prepared to t?Je your order for Fancy Dressed Poultry Turkeys, Ducks, Geese and Chickens Leave your order early. We will deliver it when and where you want it Try Us For Christmas Candies ployed Attorney Dexter Rice to rep resnt us In this matter, and in the event the ordinance Is adopted. It will be enrried to the supreme court for final settlement. The figures pre sented by Attorney Rice indicate that the city neither needs an Increase in the occupation or property tax to meet Its expenses therefore we in tend to stand pat. We will not be bluffed, and most especinll by a few persons who are disgruntled over the results of the last election." "The Quality St fl
