Some ifce that the formation of n complete egg by a hen is a very differ ent thing from making butter fat by a cow. The fat production is the more simple operation. Yet the "dairy type" does not always prove a true guide. There are cases where the use of a Babcock test has shown that well shaped cows were pretty close to robbers —'living on their shape." In like manner the "trap nest" has shown that the true "egg type" in a hen is often inside the feathers and not indicated by the size of the head, the length of the neck or body or the general shape. A trap nest may be called a Babcock test for a hen. The nest Is so arranged that when the hen enters she closes the entrance and must stay there with her egg until released. As each hen Is numbered on a leg band and cannot get out of the nest without help. It is possible to identify every egg she lays. Home careful tests of tills sort were conducted at the Utah experiment station by Professor James pryden. The contrast between individual Brown The Brown Leghorn In the cut has the world's record so far as known. She laid 201 eggs the first year, 241 the sec ond, 120 the third and over 100 the fourth. On the other hand, a Brown Leghorn kept In the same pen and, of course, fed and cared for In the same way laid only 200 eggs In the four years, or less than one-third as many as the other. It Is a singular thing that the record breaking ben was class ed as a poor layer by people who pride themselves ou their ability to pick out a hen by her shape, while the drone was selected as a good type of layer. It will be seen that the hen does not carry all her character on the outside. Mr. Crosgrove of Connecticut from a number of pictures of the liens tested at the Utah station selected the hens with a strong, protruding breast and a ■harp curve under It as the better lay ers, but we have found that different people, when questioned separately, have different types in mind.—Rural New Yorker. f>9 luimuoe Lettuce. An article bus been widely dlssemi noted In the press to Hm» effect that the bureau of plant Industry has inado re markable discoveries In securing new lettuces immune to disease. In view of the misleading statements made In this article and the fact that the United States department of agriculture Is re ceiving many requests for seed Dr. B. T. Gflllowny, chief of the bureau of plant Industry, announces that the statements in question are wholly un authorized; that the department has no immune lettuce nor has It any seed of such lettuce for distribution.—S. E. In Gardening. Hunt For tha Poultry Houae. The dust box ought to stand In the (unshlne out of all drafts. Under the front window Is a good place. Koad 41ust is excellent. We have found dry lifted coal ashes good. A large shallow Lox Is best. Do not fill It too full so th* hens will kick the dust over the floor. In some cases a small quantity of lime Is added to the dust, but we do not like It, as It takes the gloss from tlta feath Do not let the dusf remain too long It must not become damp or caked. In freezing weather the dnst box should be *tuptl«d frequently so fts to keep the dust dry. The Business ITen. Broad Iteana, or KnflUli I.lmaa. For two or three years I have been growing small quantities of the Eng lish broad 1 wans. They are an entirely different race of beans from anything we grow here, Itelng much hnrdler and able to stand as much cold as peas. In England and Germany llmas will not grow at all, and these ben lis tako their plane. They grow In bush form, standing up quite rank and stiff. The pods are ver f Jnrge and heavy and eon tain generally three v«ry large beans. It seems to rue they ore u thing, as they yield heavily and are good eat ing Fruit Grower. BIRDS AND INSECTB. Feedln* Winter Illrda In tha Owr rha>il A (Jaae In l'olnt. XJy 11. A. COMMA HO, Ohio experiment mutton. For winter entomological work I recommend lirst of all that an effort be made to entice the bJrds to the or chard. Orchards having near them thick clumps of evergreens or other similar shelter, Into which the birds can retreat when not hunting for food, are most favorably located, but bird* tvlll go' a good distance to an open Jf the Journey Is made worth their wt»H>, The chickadees, nuthatches ami Wl" un failingly come If refuse mean oi su'-t !Is tied In the treetops. The following account of results In a MiiK*ucbusettH orchard, given by Mr. K. 11 J'orbtish, Is Worthy (if thoughtful attention. An old neglected orchard, overrun with Insects mid n>ade profitless because of their depredations, was cho«.-n for the experiment. It was near a small piece of wvo'iji;;;d, consisting of pines with a few wilij f'«'f bearing trees and ilirubs .Intermixed l.mperlence In One 1 >uring the three years preceding (lie one In which th« experiment ivon made the orchard had been pruned and war hud been waged against the canker worms and tent caterpillars, but no «/ti**r /intention was given It. As a re suit vt ?l»t» /''"Mtiiieiit the orchard hud again uoujinopo.d ><» bear grudgingly. No measures of tny {tort .»y«rv taken the fourth year, and In the fall myriads i of fluktrvm moths vm ni| as-1 ccndlng the trees and depositing their eggs; ulso the eggs of the tent enter- ' pillar niotli were observed to have been laid In abundance. However, during the winter baits of bone, meat and sifet were tied among the branches, uud soon the chickadees, nuthatches, :.tti creepers s-a Trc3Cjec.itera this orchard their headquarters. The chickadees became so tame they would alight upon the person who conducted i the experiment and take food from his I hand. An examination made of the stomachs of some of these birds proved that besides the food supplied them they consumed all forms of Insect life to be found in the orchard and neigh boring woods. The following summer chickadees and woodpeckers nested In the vicinity of this orchard, while it and one other were the only orchards in the locality to harvest a crop of fruit that season, all others being too badly overrun with cankerworms and tent caterpillars. The Mutton Merino. Some people seem gifted in making forecasts of the future and anticipate coming needs. My friend, the late 1". D. Curtis, who, by the way. was a forceful writer on farm topics and live stock breeding, some years since ad vocated the development of a mutton Merino type. What would be the mat ter with such a sheep for present con ditions? Surely it would not be want ing on the score of fleece. I can name two flocks In this section that were developed by mingling the blood of reg istered American Merinos with the French or so called Ilambouillet blood. Each of these flocks has clipped fleeces averaging fourteen pounds, which has a selling value equal to American Me rino clips. These sheep have all the vigor and energy that always result from uniting long separated forceful mother blood, says a New York corre spondent of National Stockman. Hand Picked Ueana. As beans come from the thrashers there are among them more or less that are discolored and damaged and also gravel and dirt of various sorts. This refuse must be removed before the beans are ready for market. Much of this work can be done by machinery, but some of it must be accomplished by hand picking. All the beans going to market from New York are hand pick ed. which means that practically every bean is perfect. The matter of prepar ing the crop is almost exclusively In tho hands of the bean dealers. At a large number of the railway stations In the bean growing sections are boan houses, usually the property of a local produce dealer who buys the crop of the local ity. The farmer delivers his crop at the bean house.—American Agriculturist. Trouble* For the Calf Feeder. Undoubtedly the greatest difficulty that the calf feeder has to contend with Is scours. Here, as elsewhere, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of enre." The principal causes of this difficulty are overfeeding, sour milk, feeding cold milk, feeding grain with the milk, using dirty milk palls, very cold water, too much water after periods of thirst and Irregularity In feeding. The careful feeder will watch very carefully the effect of his feed opon his calves, and as soon as there Ire any signs of scours the milk Ihouhl be reduced one-half or more »nd gradually Increased again as the ?alf Is able to stand It.

The poor people whij earn a precari ous livelihood by gathering amber on the shores of the Baltic sea work only In the roughest westher. When the wind blows In from the sea, »s It often docs with terrific violence, the bowlders are tossed and tumbled at the bottom and great quantities of sea wrack are washed up on the beach. This is the harvest of the waders, for hidden In the roots and branches of the seaweed lumps of the precious gum may be found In other parts of the coast divers go crawling on the bottom of the sea for the lumps of amber hidden In seaweed and under rocks. It Is belloved that once a great pine forest flourished here where U>« groat billows roll and that amber is the gum exuded from tho trees, of which not a vestige remains. Tho llnds are very variable. The lar gest piece known, weighing eighteen pounds, Is In tho Hoyal museum In Ber lin. The usual finds range from lumps as big as a man's head to particles like grains of sand. The larger pieces are found Jammed In rocks or In tangles of marine vegetation. Divers work from four to flve hours a day In all seasons, except when ltio sea Is blocked with Ice. The work Is so arduous tjiat they are Itftthed In perspiration even In tho coldest went liar.

It Is a curious thing and, so far as present knowledge goes, quite Inex plicable liifW n shark seeuis to have nn unerring perception oi ll;<; nresence of carrion. By virtue of what sense does he know Uiat at a distance of perhaps a couple of lullcs there Is food to be had for the up? It can hardly be sight, and to say that It Is the sense of smell presupposes au olfactory ap paratus of such marvelous delicacy that otie gootj whiff from au average "harness cask" would sorely burst the machinery for good and all. Anil yet our shark will bolt a goodly lump of tin: gamiest salt pork without so much as a wink. No, It cannot Ist his nose which loads him. Now a fieory has been put forward by naturalists that the shark possesses, in common with tin* Andes condor, a special sense, or Instinct, which Is tie hied |i) f)enner feeding animals.
