A skillful device for furnishing p-een feed to poultry consists of a frame made several inches high and covered with netting. Oats, or any pre ferred crop may be sowed arid the rack with netting placed over It when of suitable size and the fowls then turned loose. They seem to delight in walking about on the netting and snipping off the green blades within reach. Yet, they cannot get at the roots to scratch and the plants have a chance to renew their growth thus pruned off, and the fowls are contin ually adding fertilizing material. For poultry kept on close range as a means of furnishing food the plan is certainly commendable.

No test of human endurance from the physical standpoint can compare in severity with that Imposed upon the workers in the steel and Iron mills of the Pittsburg district, de clares a writer in Current Literature. By a slngilar paradox an idea prevails among the workers themsolves that these labors of theirs are healthful. The whole subject has just been In vestigated with pains and thorough ness by the export of the New York state department of labor, John A. Fitch, who finds the workers for the most part healthy, but he suspects that this excellent physical condition is duo to the precautions taken by the men, and not to the capacity they possess for withstanding the terrlflo strain to which they are subjected dnily. The severity of the strain lt self is due to the incredible heat, im posing, as It does, the most tremen dous of all physical te,sts to which tho human organism is subjected in any form of recognized human activ ity. What Mr. Fitch has to say on the subject Is confirmed by the best medical opinion he was enabled to consult In tho course of the long study of conditions made for the Rus sell Sage foundation. The beat hat effects so marked that on a street car the men employed where the high temperature strikes their faces can bo singled out because of their pe culiar complexion. Sometimes their faces are red. (Written by Professor James Dryden, Poultry, Husbandry Department.) Ore. Agricultural College, Corvallis. Farmers of this State are losing thousands of dollars every year by the present system of marketing eggs. It is one thing to get the eggs; it is another thing to lose the profit through faulty methods of handling and marketing. With more care in handling and more speed in marketing ,the poultry producers of this State would add about half a million dollars to their returns each year. In every case of eggs that goes to market, there are a number that are cracked, and there are a number that are stale. It is safe to say that by the time the average case of eggs reaches the consumer it has lost at least 25 per cent of its real value. . The first trouble is that some farm ers hold their eggs too long. Every day an egg is kept there is a loss in its quality and value. Sometimes broody hens are allowed to sit -on them for a day or two, and incuba tion Is started. Sometimes the eggs are not gathered often enough; they become stale and are otherwise in jured. Then, again, after being gath ered they are frequently stored away in the pantry or in some place where it is warm, and they lose their fresh ness. Sometimes they are put in a cellar on the damp floor and they become musty. ? Sometimes they are stored near onions and other vegeta bles and absorb a flavor of the onions and other things. That is all a question of care and handling and could easily be obviated by poultry producers. The next trouble is in the market ing. The eggs are stored away and sometimes the farmer forgets about them or he wants to hold them for a month or bo to get a rise in price. Then he carts them to a store where he trades them off, good and bad, for merchandise, and he gets just what the eggs are worth. Another farmer, who carefully gathers his eggs and carefully handles them and carefully takes them to market every two or three days and trades them off at the same store for merchandise, gets the same price that the other man got, though his eggs are of good quality. They are all dumped into the same hopper and the store keeper is unwittingly paying a prem ium on carelessness in handling, if not on dishonesty. The egg is a perishable product and It cannot be too strongly im pressed on the producers, that the egg; when it is two or three weeks old, or a month old, has lost a large part of its real value. If the farmers or producers would club together and agree on a certain system of handling and marketing the eggs, they would make more money than they are now making on the eggs. The city consumers are clamoring for fresh eggs, and it is almost inv possible to get them in the city dur ing IJhe winter. Some Portland stores are now retailing their best quality of eggs at 60 cents a dozen, while many , other eggs are selling for as fbw as 30 cents. That shows the difference in the quality of the eggs. With a view to encouraging a little co-operation among the poultry pro- uucers, l give the following Bugges tions as to how to proceed in organ lzing and carrying on a little asso ciation for marketing; Suggestions for Forming Egg Circles or Associations for Marketing Eggs. Purpose. The purpose of organiz ing for marketing eggs is, First: to improve tho quality by giving greater care to the handling of the eggs be- tore shipping. Second: to get enough producers together who can furnish the necessary quantity to make regit lar shipments to city marlcets and get , better prices. Regulations. The first duty of the members will be to meet together and decide upon a set of regulations for the grading, packing and shipping or tne eggs, These regulations should Inclmlo specific recommendations as to handling the eggs before being brought to the shipping point, and as to tho manner or system of grading, packing and shipping. Poultry yards nnd nest boxes should be kept clean. Eggs should bo gathered once a day, and in warm weather twice a day, and be kept in a moderately cool place where no vegetables or other things are kept that will give them an undesirable odor. They should be delivered nt the shipping or gath ering point when not over five days old. Grading. It will be well to make at least two grades of eggs, one large nnd one small. Where the market demands it and there are enough members in the association, another grade could be added: one extra large in size. As to color, white eggs should be packed In one caso nnd brown eggs in ' another. Grade No. 1 would be eggs averaging 24 oz. per dozen, no egg less than 1 5-6 , oz. No large or double yolk eggs should be packed. They Bhould be clean but not washed. Pack the eggs In good substantial cases with clean fillers. Grade No. 2 should it- name ember to rernerri en vou need a remedy for COUGHS and COLDS average 20 oz. per dozen, no eggs less than 14 oz. It is understood, of course, that all eggs are of num ber one quality as to freshness. Guaranteeing , Quality. The name or trade mark of the association should be stamped on each egg, as well as on each package. Every pro ducer or member should have a num ber and this number should also be stamped on the egg. This will ena ble the consumers and officers of the association to locate the party who may be guilty of selling any bad eggs. Where candling is carefully done, however, this, last may not be necessary. Every producer should be furnished a small rubber stamp for this purpose. This will cost but a few cents. Shipping Station. The egg3 should be brought to one central place where they can be graded, packed, and if necessary candled. There should be a room provided for packing, grad ing and candling, with tables, equip ment for testing, etc. Officers of the Association. One member of the circle or association should be selected to attend to the business of packing, shipping, grad ing and selling the eggs. Where enough producers unite it will be well to have a set of officers, includ ing a president, vice-president and secretary and treasurer. The latter should be responsible for the proper grading and packing of eggs, as pre scribed by the regulations. A com mittee should . also be appointed to make regular audits of the books. WHAT WORRIED THE OLD MAN Peculiar Instance of Connubial Affec tion Concerned More About -Himself Than Wife. A peculiar instance of connubial af fection occurred some time ago in Vermont. An aged couple, who through half a century of married life had wrangled with each other, were in all probability soon to be separated. The husband was taken ill and was be lieved to be near his end. The old wife came to his bedside, and after carefully examining and taking stock of his condition, exclaimed: "Well, daddy, your feet ar,e cold, your hands are cold and your nose is cold." "Wa'al, let 'em be cold." "W'y, daddy, you're goin" to die." "Wa'al, I guess I know what I'm about." "Daddy, what's to become of me if you die?" "I dunno, and I don't care.

So familiar have electric bells be come to most of us that even their sound at unexpected times tr in un usual places rarely startles us. Not so with birds, to which the sudden ringing of a boll on a tree or a post means something far more uncanny than any scarecrow flapping in the wind. Knowing this, the head master of an Austrian school has patented an electric scarecrow system in which s clock makes the connections at Irreg ular Intervals to lectrlc bells scat tered over the orchard.

Can B Kept Fresh In Solution for Eight to Twelve Months An other Excellent Formula. Water - glass can be obtained of most druggists and Is a heavy, almost colorless liquid, costing from 10 to 80 cents a pound. Eggs will keep per fectly In this solution for eight to twelve months, says the Agriculturist The other formula is to mix one pound fresh stone lime and one-half pound table salt with four quarts boil ing water. After slacking and settling draw off the clear liquid and pour over the eggs so as to cover them. This is an old-fashioned method, but is very effective. Eggs kept in water glass may be taken out during fall and winter and sold for packed eggs at about five cents a dozen less than the price of fresh eggs. Many fam ilies can safely pack a few dozen to UBe for cooking purposes in winter, but whether it Is a safe business ven ture to put down several hundred dozen is another question. The safest method, and the only one available on a large scale, is to use cold storage, where the eggs can be held at 28 to SO degrees.

Why actually, I've Just had to wire to New York for two extra salesmen." "But what has that got to do with the uncuts?" the reporter inquired. "Uncuts," said the dealer, "are books with uncut edges. They orig inated In Scotland. In Scotland, in the past, a man would enter your shop today, read a chapter of some book or other and saunter out with out buying anything. Tomorrow he would read another chapter gratis, and by the end of the month he would have finished the volume and be well into another.
