If BacK Hurts Flush Kidneys INFLUENCES ON VALUE OF EGGS but Investigations show that healthy hens, fed normal rations, lay eggs thut are Howconsistently of good quality. ever, there ore many factors that Influence the,niarket value of eggs, most of width are within tlie control of the producer nnd dealer of eggs. Eggs are not bought and sold by tbe pound, but the size of the eggs causes considerable difference in their value. "Extras" must weigh 40 pounds net per case of 30 dozen. This Is an average of slightly over two ounces per egg. "Extra firsts" must weigh 44 pounds per case. The proper selection of breeding stock Is undoubtedly the biggest factor In securing eggs of good size, although the size Is Influenced to some extent by proper feeding. Cleanliness has an Important Influence on the value of eggs. Dirty eggs deteriorate more rapidly than clean eggs, do not present ns pleasant an appearance, are not fit for storage, ami, therefore, do not sell for ns high a price as eggs that are clean. .Dirty eggs nmy be largely eliminated hy providing plenty of clean nests which are well supplied with dean Utter. On rainy days It may be helpful to keep the hens confined until 10 a. m., when most of the hens will be through laying for the day. Some markets pay a premium for white eggs. A few markets pay a premium for brown eggs. Dealers seldom pay a premium for eggs of one color, as compared with mixed colors. In shipping eggs, it Is necessary to take this characteristic of the market Into consideration. Uniformity of color Is always appreciated and tills Is one of the advantages gained by improving tlie Ilock through the use of Improved stock. Eggs may be of the same size nnd color but vary considerably In market value. This Is on account of the difference In quality of the interior. Most eggs are good when they are first laid, hut different methods of handling Influence the quality to a large extent. Therefore, the problem of handling eggs is important ns well as proper management of the flock. Eggs Auot (Tl J'.TL Qii ?: 'Ah'rfarJ "i U&V I -- - )A! h;v Ha. 118.

Burns, The Rise and Tail of Jesse James by Robertus F. Love, and Wild Bill, the Frlneo of ristoleers by Walter .J. Wllstueh.

If you had a copy of them now, wouldn't need to hide It away as you once did. You could exhibit It proudly to your friends ns "collectors Item or "rare Amerl- enna" which has taken a place In American literature" and which not so long ago was the thesis subject by which a student won his rh.D. degree In. the English department of one of our largest universities. If you wanted to sell your copy, you could probably get anywhere from five to ten dollars for what originally sold for five or ten cents. At least. If the prices paid for Dr. Frank P.

Ills collection of 310 volumes of thrillers, which represented 20 years of searching through 20 states In order to secure these rapidly disappearing little hooks and pumphlets relating to pioneer Amerlcun life, were auctioned off for a total of $3,108.20. Individual volumes brought vurlous prices but the top price was $1,023 for 28 volumes of Beadle & Co. weekly magazine, the Saturday Star Journal. It Is not likely thut another such collection will ever again apcar In the auction rooms hut from time to time ludlvldunt volumes bob up Nomewhcre snd they are quickly snapped up hy collectors who know their value. Other echoes of the old dime novel dnjs are heard occasionally to recall to the hojs of yester day the favorite literature of their youth. One of them was heard a year or so ago when press dispatches carried the news thnt T. C. Ilarhnugh had sold off his meager possessions and entered an Ohio poorliouse, there to spend his declining jenrs. This T. O. llnrhaugh was one of the most prolific of Beadle's dime novelists him) between 1S09 nnd 1897 he wrote nearly h thousand volumes of this type of tlctiSn, or more than 5,0uc,0(i0 words of thrills, of which It wits once said, There are ten thousand shudders In Ills writing!', Imt not one Ilarhnugh was paid $230 each for the dime novels and $130 for the half-dimnovels, and he made a fortune at the work, only to etui Ids days In poverty. other echoes were heard lr more recent press dispatches when the original ''Dead wood Dick," whose real name Is Richard Clark ami who lives near Whltewood. S. I)., was quoted as protesting against the news thut he was dead, as It had bom reported from California, ami when, from Norfolk, Neh., came the news that the original Diamond Dick" was still living there, lie's not Inown as Diamond Ilek, however, hy (he people of Norfolk, but ns Dr. Richard J. Tanner, one of the foremost physicians In the county. Although neither Dendwood Dick, nor Diamond Dick. Imd one tenth of the thrilling adventures credited to them In the dime novels, both have lived snfll clcntly interesting lives and had more than their share of narrow escapes from death. Dead wood Duk was a miner nnd stage driver In the Black Hills of 30 yeurs ago. Diamond Dick also Imd a varied caret r In thut country In the old Indian-lightindays hut he was best known for Ills later career ns a fancy rifle nnd pistol shot with a ilrcus until he gave tills up to study medicine. In fact, a great many of the dime novel heroes were real persons and In some eases the events nm rated In the hooks were autobiographical, since the nulhors themselves laid lived on the frontier and hud their share of thrilling experiences.
