A large loos is caused by dirty eggs, the rumber 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 $3,000,000 annual ly. This loss is very largely brought about by not gathering the eggs often enough. Jn wet weather more dirty eggs are found than at any other time. This is caused by the fact that the lion's feet are often covered with mud or other filth, and in going on the nest to lay she soil3 the eggs already in the nest. An insufficient number of nests 13 often the cause of many t,f 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 nest 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 four liens is provided and the nests Ere kept clean and well bedded, it is found that very few dirty eggs are produced. After gathering the eggs, card should be taken not Lo put them where lliey wiil become heated, or near oil, Diiionj, or other vegetables, as they readily absorb odors'. Although dirty ogts may be perfect ly fresh, they invariably sell as "sec- Dnds,-' and when but a few dirty eggs J are misd wi..h an otberv.-ise frerh, ;c&n lot, they material!:. decrease j iu- p"5ea of ihe clean egsa. To Get Correct Proportion and Still Make It Light is Matter Requir ing Thought and Experimenting. To build a strong shipping crate in the correct proportion and still make It light in weight is a matter that can not be carried out without, some thought and experimenting and for :his reason I have drawn plan 3 and built sample crates in an experiment il way until the result is satisfactory ;o.me, and I feel sure will be to those . -j. a ..s " 'Mj fi k- Pcultry Shipping Crsts. vho wish to build crates after this pattern, writes E. F. Barry, in tha Successful Farming. The drawing will give a corect idea )f how to put the crates together and .he following lumber bills will if fol owed give correct results. The material, if a person is to use my number of these crates cf a cer :ain size he can best go to a box fac ;ory or mill and have them cut to or ler. The long stock should consist cf oards any length six inches wide by hree-eighths inch thick to be used for )cttcm. Slats any length three nches wide by three-eighths inch hick. Frame stock any length three nches wide by three-fourths inch hick. Common slock spruce surfaced wo sides. It will bo found desirable to make hree sizes of these crates of a suit ibie height for broilers and fryers and it least two sizes for mature fowl ami or turkeys. Eating cf Steaming Hoi Food Respsr eib!e for Prevalence cf Disease In China, when a, native family sits down to dine, the men of the house-' held and the male guestp, if there be ' any, are served first. Their food ; comes to" them steaming hot. The women must wait untir later to be ' c-erved, and by that time! the food has grown cooler. The men -.commence to '. i eat immediately the di-hs of steam-1 ! ing hot food are set before" them. ' i Rice, cow peas and other things are i j bolted hot. The women have to bo : satisfied vkb only lukevf.irm dishes, j I So much for etiquette. Now for the ; I consequences. In China cancer of tho I oesophagus, or throe, is common among men. Among Chinese women the disease is very rare; practically unknown. All of this, and more, was reported by Dr. E. D. Eashford at the recent annual meeting of the Imperial Can cer Research Fund held in London. He said, in referring to the alarming in roads made by cancer among China men, that the frequency of the disease would be diminished if such practices as the eating of very hot rice wrere discontinued. The rice the women cat is cool and non-irritating, and they rarely contract cancer. Big Buck Shot i:i the Adirondacks. D. P. Webster, Ernest Hendricks and Clarence Lapp returned Monday from the Adirondack's with the larg est buck brought from the north in many years. It was shot by Mr. Lapp and weighed 310 pounds, measured nearly nine feet from r"i3 of nose to tail and had a most perfect head, each antler having five uniform ana nicely formed prongs. The huolc must havo been irodding tho Adirondacks fc-r years, as it was without teeth and tho Antlers indicated that ho was well alon.

Japanese Royal Palace Is Separated From Other Places in Tokio by Trip Is Moat. The mikado, earth-born son of heav en, and hi3 court of demigods dwell in a forest solitude'in the midst of tho great city of Tokio. The palace world is separated from the world of the people by a triple moat of dead water and a double wall of granite crowned by twisted pine trees and mottled with the moss of ages. Except upon staled occasion's, the mikado is as invisible and well nigh as inacces sible cs tho sun goddess amid the herf dicary treasures of the Ise shrine. I his august person the hotly dis puted origin of his race finds its re flection, for he has. tho eyes cf the IMougol, the coloring and facial struc ture of the Malay. Unlike the reigning houses cf Aus tria, Russia and Prussia, the bouse of Japan, which, thanks to the system 'of riural wives and the custom of adop tion, has survived so many hundred years in an apparently unbroken line, has no family name and the given names of its members are not by any means what they seem to be or to mean upon a-superficial examination. The Mikado Mitsuhito is not the "meek man" nor is Prince Hartt a "verdant" or "springlike prince." These names have an occult meaning which is probably hidden from all ex cept the princes of the blood and it is in a close family council that they aro decided upon. Behind the moss-grown battlements and the stagnant moats, the Lord of Ten Thousand Years leads a singular ly sober and frugal life. It has been suggested that he is still haunted by the memory cf the threadbare court of his father, the Emperor Komei, where not seldom even food was lacking. The j support of hawking and of the old swordmakers with their secret meth-! ods of tempering steel and his efforts ' to collect the widely scattei"ed books relating to the Shinto cult are his only extravagances.

IT PREVENTS Croup Whooping - Cough Bronchitis Loss of Flesh and many other troubles ALL DRUGGISTS 11-13 Gather eggs daily. Tho profits in poultry culture are cneasured by the caro given. It i3 useless to expect many eggs from old fowls cf any variety. All scraps of vegetables from the :able should be given to the hens. A poultryman is judged by his sur roundings and the condition of his fowls. Hens need to be provided with a summer dust bath as well as in the winter. Grit enables the gizzard to prepare the food for digestion. It is a fowl's calse teeth. The dropping-board-3 should bo reg ularly cleaned and the filth removed from the housen. It is of little profit to have a good supply , of eggs if we cannot market them to advantage. A large part of the heavy loss from bad egg3 can be obviated by the pro duction of infertile eggs. The market age . of goslings - is twelve weeks, which is a short time after they' have feathered out. Chickens are creatures of habit.' Whether they are lazy or active- de pends largely cn the way they are raised. - . - The enemies of the fresh egg mar ket are the preserved and the tested out incubator eggs. Be above such trickery.. Guinea fowls do not mate in pairs like pigeons or doves. One male to several, fowls is the proper way to mate them. At the present day many poultry men grind part of their chicken feed into a meal so it can be fed into either a dry or wet mash. Any breed of hens will consume an enormous quantity of feed before commencing to lay, but after having once begun will not require so much grain as, before.
