SOME EGG FACTS The outside of a fresh egg is coated with an albuminous of mucilaginous substance. The moment the egg is laid this substance is of a sticky nature, but readily hardens when it comes in contact with the air, The purpose of thio coating is to prevent the eggs from spoiling; if the egg should be washed, this coating is re, moved and the keeping qualites are greatly lessened. After being laid a portion of the matter containedin the egg is lost daily, by transpirtation, notwithstandv ing the compact tissue of the obeli, and the close tissue of the flexible membranes lining it and enveloping the white. A fresh egg is practically full, while in a stale egg there is more or less vacancy in proportion -to the loss by transportation. This is shown by holding the egg to a strong light. The average length of a hen's egg is 2.27 inches. The average diameter at the broad end i$ 1.72 inches. The color of the brown eggs be- comes lighter as the number of the product increases. Eggs contain four per cent. less protein, and six per cent. less fat, than sirloin steak; half as much pro- tein, and one-third as much fat, as cream cheese; twice as much protein, and ten times as much fat, as oysters. Fuel value, about two-thirds that of beef and one- third that of rich cheese. The life of a fresh egg is three days. The older the egg the less is that sweet, rich flavour noticeable. The fresh egg beats to a froth eas- ier than one that is stale. It requires a longer time to boil a fresh egg than it does a stale one. In a fresh egg, when boiled, the white will stick to the shell. When the egg is a few days old the shell peels off smoothly, Eggs lose in weight when cooked. A writer figures it up that the egg crop each year would 1111 43,127,000 crates, each crate holding 360 eggs; and it would require a train of re- frigerator cars nearly 000 miles in length to carry these crates. This train would necessarily be composed of 107,813 cars. -Farm Life. Catarrh Gannet be Gured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mucous surface. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two in- gredients is what produces such wonder- ful results in curing catarrh. Send for testimonials, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Props., Toledo, 0.

TIPS TO THE POULTRY MEN Mr. Poultryman, if you take pride in marketing good eggs at a good price; consider the following, says the Colorado Agricultural College. Do not keep mongrel stock. They are not high producers, and their eggs are not uniform as to size and color. Keep laying hens separated from setting hens. Gather eggs carefully in warm weather twice daily. Insist that your buyer candle and grade your eggs and that he pays a premium for "firsts" over "seconds". You cannot afford to produce the best and take a flat "case -count" price along with the producers of small, dirty, stale, inferior eggs. The sale of infertile incubator eggs will never help you to establish a higher market price for your product. Separate the male birds from the flock except during the breeding sea- son. Fertile eggs are poor keepers. Keep nests free from filth and pro- vide plenty of them. It is the foul, dirty, unattractive nest that compels the hens to seek the weeds or some other undesirable place. (Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S / CASTORIA EVERY DAY EXPLOSIVES. Some one has discovered that every nickel "contains enough explosive to blow a man's head off." This announce- ment is based on the fact that nickel combined with picric acid produces a powerful explosive. The purpose of the alarming announcement is not en- tirely clear. If it is intended as a warning to let nickels alone, a number of other common substances, quite as dangerous as nickels, should be included. Dimes and quarters are even' more deadly than nickels, The silver fulminate that can be made from thein is one of the most irritable and destruc- tive of explosives. The fulminate side of it comes from alcohol, so that the THE WINGHAM TIMES HEALTHIEST ONE IN THE FAMILY No Sign Of Dropsy And Kidney Trouble Since Taking "FRUIT.,i1-TIVBS'M 'HATTIE WARREN Port Rohlnson, Ont., July 8th, 1915, We have used "Pruit-a-lives" in our house forover three years and have always found them a good medicine.

Cotton batting', the basis of gur- cotton is an equally dangerous sub- stance, as it is also glycerine, because it ean be made into nitro-glycerine. The nitrogen is a lamp chop, combined with the necessary carbon, hydrogen and oxygen to make picric acid, would probably blow half a dozen men's heads oft. So we can see the common or garden variety of bravery shown by every one of us every day in the calm handling of these potentially devasta- ting substances- potatoes and bread are almost as dangerous as cotton bat- ting and lamp chops -is something the race has every reason to be proud of. We may also note the justice of Andrew Lang's observation that tco frequently popular science is nothing more. than "expenditure of rhetoric on erroneous conclusions." -New York Evening Post. CASTORIA For infants and Children in Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Signature of �f�-t-'�i���� SUMMER TIME IS FLY TIME Summer time is fly time. Enough house flies live over the winter to give the species a start for another season, and no means as yet have been discov- ered for giving perfect immunity from the pest. Comparative immunity may be secured only by the practice of con- stant and unwearying vigilance. That freedom, or comparatively freedom from flies is worth all the effort it costs is becoming more and more generally re- cognized, for their is a better knowledge than formerly of the manner in which the house fly interferes with human comfort, and human health, and the menance that it is to the human life. To avoid the fly nuisance the first essential is to deprive the insect of food, water, lurking places and breeding places. Food that is to be used should be kept covered and, that which is not for use should be destroyed. Dirt must not be permitted to accumulate, indoors or out Stable manure should never be permit- ted to accumulate, or if it must accumu- late for a short time in warm weather, it should be sprinkled with kerosene. Premises should be kept "pricked up" all summer Iong. This requires less labor than a case of typhoid, and costs less money than a funeral. The house itself should be protected by having doors and windows screened. And whenever, after all these precautions have been taken, a fly makes its ap- pearance, "Swat It." Piles Entirely Cured . Mr. Wm. Woodell, 107 St. John St., Carlton, St. John, N. B., writes: -"I have used Dr. Chase's Ointment for itching. bleeding piles, and as a result have been entirely cured. For years 1 was a great sufferer from this dis- tressing ailment and can say that three boxes of Dr. Chase's Ointment cured me. You may use this letter for the benefit of others."

Barrel Out of Doors, When the eellar is too warm and you must devise a plan to keep a few cabbages for family use try put- ting them in a barrel out of doors. Put a headless barrel into the ground, leaving the top slightly above the surface, and put in. the close trimmed heads. Leave room enough at the top to put in a little clean straw or hay --or papers -and spread an oilcloth over it or some boards to keep the rain out. It does not harm even if the cab., bage freeze, and you can open your cache any time in winter and take out a head. But one may say: "Oh, that's no good. I've tried it and they all rotted." The answer to that is, "You may have tried it, but you didn't do your work carefully." Failure will follow shiftless disregard of rules. In following any such plan use a little good horse sense. you must plan to keep water out of the barrel, so let it be tight enough to keep out seepage. Then so fill up and level the surface that the drainage will be Page 3 'The Gold Dust Twins Philosophy di ..s THE floors and doors appear to wait until the dust germs con= gregate; the housewife hails each dawning day with grins and harrowing dismay. Says she : "My work will NEVER end; o'er dusty stretches I must bend # until, with aching back and hands I finish what the day demands." Then Mrs. Jones, one afternoon, drop- ped in, at time most opportune. An optimist, she knew the wiles of house- hold work -its sighs and smiles. She told of how she polished floors and wood- work and the endless doors, until when Hubby saw them, too, reflections said: "Why, howdy -do!" "The Gold Dust Twins," said she, "1 find, help leave the woes of dust behind. Each mark of sticky hands on doors, each tread of muddy feet on floors, all fade before M,. the slightest touch of Gold Dust, and the work is such that, when ' the woodwork has been done, I find said work was only fun." This line of reasoning must show that those who've tried it OUGHT to know. "If you, in one day's duties, find that there's a Grouch in ev'ry Grind, invite the Gold Dust Twins rhe "17cor-and-Door-a" Girl ., to share such tasks as tire and fret and wear. From kitchen floor to bedroom suite these tireless little chaps make neat, and best of all, the sum expense is measured up in meager cents. They put both dust and dirt to rout and run the last old microbe out. ary s�i°x±f�• ,,,t K CABBAGES WORTH STORING. away from the barrel. Another point is that the cabbage must be carefully trimmed, removing every broken or decaying leaf and putting in only sound, smooth heads. It you put in any rubbish you not only in- vite decay, you make it certain. It is well to put a few sticks in the bottom to leave au air space. And do not try to see how closely you can pack them, but rather lay them in loosely and so place them that there will be air spaces all though. If you aim to keep the frost out it will require considerable covering, and if you do that you wilt be likely to make your cache too warm and that will induce rot. The best way is to plan to keep the cabbage close to the freezing point and far better have it frozen than too warm. But if it freezes it must be kept frozen, for it will never do to have it freez- ing and thawing out a half dozen times during the winter. After the cabbage is in and you have filled up the top of the barrel with a little clean straw or hay, rounding it up in the centre, then put over a piece of oilcloth or heavy canvas. This is to turn off the water. Have it large enough so that all of the dripping will be outside the bar- rel. Then turn a square box over it and it is done. The box should be just big enough to hold the cloth in place. Barnyard Manure. Barnyard manure has value on the farm aside from that as a fertilizer. It improves the physical conditions of the soil and makes it easier to handle. Its decay produces heat and its presence aids chsmical and bac- terial processes. Moreover, it ab- sorbs and holds a Iarge amount of water and helps to aerate the soil. The benefits of these indirect aids to plant growth are in some cases worth as much as the fertilizing power of the manure. When it is added that barnyard manure is worth perhaps $2.50 a ton and that each farm animal produces from five to seven tons per 1,000 pounds of live weight each year, it is easy to see that as a fertilizer the material should not be wasted. The best practice is to haul the stuff directly from the barn to the fields. If this is done there is little loss through fermentation or leach- ing. Marketing and Co-operation. It is not enough to grow a good crop or even to grow a good crop at Iow cost. To make a big crop a business success it must be disposed of as efficiently as it is grown --must be so graded and packed as to meet market standards and so marketed as to bring the farmer the highest current price. Tile farmer who is too suspicions to get together with his neighbors in order to do co -open atively what no one can do alone is Aare to pay dearly for his incapaeits' for team work.
