DIRTY EGGS DECREASE VALUE
Agricultural
Loss to Farmers at $5,000,000
Every Year.
Department Estimates
‘While there are a few egg producers
who take the best of care of their
product, the average farmer considers
the eggs produced on the farm a by-
product and makes very little pro-
vision for their care, aside from gath-
ering them. A large loss is caused
by dirty eggs, the number being enor
mous, and according to the estimate |
of Secretary Wilson of the depart-
ment of agriculture this money loss
to the farmers in the United States
amounting to about $6,000,000 annual-
ly.
This loss is very largely brought
about by not gathering the eggs often
enough. In wet weather more dirty
eggs are found than at any other time,
This is caused by the fact that the
hen’s feet are often covered with mud |
or other filth, and in going on the nest
to lay she soils the eggs already im
the nest.
An insufficient number of nests is
often the cause of many of the dirty
eggs found. Eggs are laid on the
ground and around the hay and straw
stacks, and becoming stained, are
classed as “dirties.” Again, when too
¢ many eggs are allowed to remain in a
: pest some are broken and many of the
others become smeared with broken
yolks. This condition is often brought
about by allowing the broody hens to
use the same nests with the layers.
On a farm where one nest to every
ee four hens is provided and the nests
are kept clean and well bedded, it is
found that very few dirty eggs are
Lone produced
After gathering the eggs, care
should be taken not to put them where
they will become heated, or near oil,
onions, or other vegetables, as they |
readily absorb odors.
Although dirty eggs may be perfect-
ly fresh, they invariably sell as “sec-
onds,” and when but a few dirty eggs
A are mixed with an otherwise fresh,
elean lot, they materially decrease
the price of the clean eggs.

was standing in a cor
sed barrel plugged with a cork. The |
pur and the amateur |
collector was just about to leave the |
ghop when his curiosity to see what |
was insidz the gun got the hetter of
him. He pulled the cork and lowered |
the gun. A stream of the sparkling |
stones poured outf, bouncing this Way |
and that into the dust-filled@ corners of |
the shop. Whea the men recovered |
from their surprise they were both on |
their knees scrambling for the gems. |
Immediately a dispute arose as to
their ownership, and this was con-
tinusd for mere than half an hour as
the two men, both of a naturally dig-|
nified disposition, crawled about the |
dust and cobwebs hunting the jewels. |
“They're mine!” cried the shop-|
keeper. “For years this gun has be- |
longed to me; therefore its contents |
are mine.” i
“But I have bought the gun and
er, its long un- |

| paid for it!” was the retort from be-
hind a stack of other firearms of past |
ages. “I have bought the gun, and
what the gun contains is mine.” !
After a time the search for the tur |
quoises was finished, but not so the |
argument, which was rising in tem- |
perature every moment. Finally both |
men agreed to turn the jewels over to |
the police and let the commissary de- |
cide to whom they belonged.
Possibly in some desert camp some |
Arab chieftain sits by his lonely fire |
and wonders, cursing the while the |
i white man who years ago robbed him |
of his fortune and the weapon with |
which he won his place at the head of
his tribe.
What's in a Name?
Mayor Brand Whitlock, of Toledo,
was talking about a certain trust mag-
nats. “He's got a bad name,” sald
the mayor-novelist. “Hence he can’t
get a square deal. He's got as bad a
name for a lawsuit as Dodgin had for
a manager. Dodgin was the new man-
ager of a biscuit concern. There was
a workman at the concern who liked
to sneak off to a shed at about three
o'clock in the afternoon and smoke a
pipe and look over the afternoon pa-
per for half an hour or so. Well, one
day, as the workman sat reading and
smoki in the shed, Dodgin ap
peared. “Who are you? Dodgin asked
sternly, frowning at the idle work
man. The workman frowned back.
‘Huh, who are you? said he.
Dodgin, the new manager,’ was the,

A New York surveyor had an as

from
from the nearest railroad station. To
his surprise, he heard the sound of

found a busy woodsman at work. He
had cleared the timber away for a
few rods about, and on that space had
put up a snug log cabin. All the rest,
on every side, was the profound, ak
most untrodden wilderness. The man
stopped his work and greeted the sur

you come from?” he asked. “From
New York,” answered the surveyor,
said he. “Yes.” The

by and by said: “Well, welll Gosh!
I don’t see how you can bear to live

Why a Tallor’s Thimble.
If you have ever noticed a tallor's
thimble ycu must have observed that
it is not like the one your mother or
your sistess use, because it has no top.
As there is a reason for everything,
there is a reason for this, |
The stuff your mother sews on is
usually very light and the needle is
easily pushed through by pressing the
top of the thimble against the needle.
But taflors often have to sew very)
coarse and heavy material and they
cannot get enough pressure oa the top |
of the thimble, so they use the side!
and therefore they have no use for a

At the Acorn Club in Philadelphia
a young lady was praising the wit of
the late Bishop Mackay Smith.
“He always had a pun ready” she
sald, smiling pensively. “I remember
meeting him once in Broad street stae
tion. I was on the way to Florida at
the time, and I said:
“ ‘Will it be very wrong, bishop, for
me to bathe on Sunday in the Atlantic
off Palm Beach?
“‘The Atlantic off Palm Beach

which I have no jurisdiction.’ ”
