SELL ONLY FRESH EGGS Some Farmers Deliberately Impose on Small Merchants by Giving Goods Known to Be Stale. (By A. G. PHILLIPS, Kansas.) Selling eggs is one of the handiest ■ways for the farmer to get a cash or trade return for his produce, during all parts of the year, and if he cah Increase the efficiency of the machinery which produces and handles these eggs he is putting into his pocket good hard cash. Almost every housewife who is compelled to buy eggs constantly clamors for some which she may pursue in ordeiytw always get fresh eggs. There is no housewife who has not some time or other had the great displeasure of handling spoiled or rotten eggs. This almost constant occurrence, with the possible exception of the winter months, practically compels those who lecture and carry on experiment station work to plead ’with the farmers who produce the eggs to put onto the market better produce. The egg loss bach year is enormous and is beyond all reasonable justification, and the blame lies, at least in part, with the farmer for the following two reasons: First, some few farmers deliberately take to market eggs which they know are not fresh, because they know

Eggs Should Be Packed in Neat Cases.

that the merchant is compelled to take them or lose their trade. Second, and by far the greatest reason, is because of ignorance on the part of the farmer as to what and how to sell eggs. When the hens on the farm are producing enough eggs to warrant the farmer’s taking them to town, arrangements should be made to handle all of them properly. .* convenient and clean place should be provided wherein the hens can lay. The natural tendency of a hen is to go off in the weeds ar l make her nest. This should not be tolerated and any eggs found in such places should be marked and kept at home. When the clean, fresh eggs are bathered they should be put in a clean, dry, cool place until marketed. Even though the place is clean and cool, if it is not dry, molds, etc., will commence development and the eggs will soon spoil. If the eggs become damp and they happen to be in contact with any colored material they will immediately become stained. Good egg cases in a cool, dry, clean place, kept up off of the floor, make an excellent receptacle in which to keep eggs previous to marketing. Before these eggs are set aside for market, they should be gone over by the farmer as he collects them, and all small, stained, dirty, doubtful, incubator and rotten eggs should be removed. Small and dirty eggs, if used immediately, are just as good as large clear ones, but they will not sell well on the market, and if sent in with good eggs will spoil the trade. Therefore, they should be kept and Used at home. No eggs should be washed, for the packers claim they will not keep well. All eggs from stolen nests, whose freshness is doubtful, and all incubator eggs should either be thrown away, boiled for the little chicks or used at home. They should never be sent to market. Rotten eggs need not be discussed. Any person who will send one to market deserves all the penalty possible from the pure-food law’.

When eggs have been properly gathered, handled and kept previous to taking to market, the question of the number of trips to town should be considered. In hot weather the eggs should be marketed two or three times per week, and oftener if possible. If that number of trips cannot be made, co-operate with a neighbor and have him alternate days in the trips which must be made. In the fall and spring eggs should be marketed at least once a week. Many buyers have had trouble in November with eggs classed as “held eggs.” These are common, because" most farmers believe that after frost eggs will not rot so quickly, but nevertheless they do evaporate and the air cells in them show the candler that they are stale. Therefore, the more qften eggs are marketed, the greater are the chances that they will be good.

Make-Up of Broilers.

A should have a good, plump breast, broad back, clean yellow legs and yellow skin, and small comb. Such is the American epicure’s ideal but these requirements bar out such breeds as Brahmas, Cochins, Langshans, or any crosses on them, on account of the feathers on their legs. They bar out all white-skinned fowls, and put a damper on all large-comb birds like Leghorns, M inorcas, etc. Such being the case, the Wyandottes have easy sailing; and, besides, being quick growers are more desirable for this purpose.

ADMIRES PASTOR RUSSELL’S BOOK.

“The Divine Plan of the Ages." Every One Should Read It. Atlanta Constitution says—“Thlf wonderful book makes no assertions that are not well sustained by the Scriptures. It is built up stone by stone, and upon every stone is the text, and it becomes a pyramid of God’s love, and mercy, and wisdom. There is nothing in the Bible that the Author denies or doubts, but there are many texts that he throws a flood of light upon that seems to uncover their meaning.” It Comforts the Bereaved. "Bill Arp” says—“lt is impossible to read this book without loving the writer and pondering his wonderful solution of the great mysteries that have troubled us all our lives. There is hardly a family to be found that has not lost some loved one who died outside the church—outside the plan of salvation, and, if Calvinism be true, outside of all hope and inside of eternal torment and despair.” 355 pages—cloth bound, 35 cents, postpaid.

Last Excursion (LAST PRIVATE CAR EXCURSION OF THE SEASON. DEC? 10th.) >IY FAITH in Western Michigan is recorded in the Registers’ offices of II counties, which show t,hat I own lands in 53 townships The bulk of them lie in Mason, Manistee and Lake counties and compose what is known as the Swigart Tract—in rhe center of Michigan s Fruit Belt. So well and favorably known is this tract becoming throughout this broad land that there is' not a state in the U. ,S. which is not representsd in my list of customers. MY PLAN of selling and my methods have stood the test of time and are appreciated, as is proven by their popularity. They are co-operative, make land investment to be desired and give those with small capital, as well as'large, an opportunity. It is a selling plan that has made many friends. Below’ are samples of testimonials which I receive almost daily.

“George W. Swigart, Dear Sir:—l received the warranty deed you sent me. Thanks. I also wish to express my appreciation of the fair treatment I received from you in all my dealings in the past five years. Yours truly, L. C. Mangnus,” (Formerly of Wisconsin.)

“Mr. George W. Swigart, Dear Sir: —I beg to acknowledge receipt ol warranty deed and abstract of the land sold to me in Michigan. Thanking you sos your fair and most courteous treatment accorded me at all limes, and wishing you continued success in the upbuilding and betterment of the community in and around Mason Co., I am yours for progress. Respectfully, A. Meguire.” (Trustee of the Knights and Ladies of Security of Chicago.) “George W. Swigart, Dear Sir:— Enclosed find check for S6O to apply on contract. We like the country fine and the climate is immensely fine and am very well satisfied generally. Yours very truly, James G. Henshaw.’” (Formerly of Nebraska.) I STARTED acquiring lands 17 years ago. But I did not put them on the market full blast until I had over 65,000 acres. Then I commenced advertising steadily and conservatively. I adhered to the principle: The truth is good enough. I want' to hear you say, “just as represented,” or as most visitors to the tract say “better than represented.” I bought the land to sell direct to settlers.

WHEN THE NEWS about this largest and best tract of land in Michigan became well circulated, farm renters, home and land seekers came in such numbers that I was obliged to run special cars regularly on my semimonthly excursions 10 months of the year. My sales have been enormous and it; has only been by large additional purchases that I have been able to keep the tract up to the 50,000 acre mark, and the time is fast approaching when. I can not get any more in this district. I have settled several hundred people on the lands. This year I have given more deeds than any three years previous. Next spring settlement will be that much larger. This is one of the biggest colonization movements in this country. The great majority of buyers become or expect to become settlers.

THIS DISTRICT has awakened to a new era. Many new homes, new barns, new fences, new roads throughout the tract are enhancing the valued of all the lands around them. Settlers are writing friends and relatives to come. We have settlements of farmers who were neighbors in their home states;. It makes it pleasant. They are estimable, earnest people. Some are former farmers' sons, who went to cities but were eager to get back to the advantages of farm llfb—the surest weapon in the fight against the increased cost of living. These settlers find the conveniences in this tract much the same as back in their old homes, with telephones, many good roads, handy schools, and churches, and nearby markets. The great power dam project in the center of this tract, with its coming interurban lines apd the inducement of cheap power, gives promise of attracting a

I urge no one beyond his requirements. I also have some fine 10-acre tracts just right for fruit, poultry and truck, ideally located and near towns. Ail my lands are close to stations.
