CHINA is RAPIDLY
BECOMING CIVILIZED.
San Francisco, May 14.—Speaking
here before a meeting of Methodist
ministers, Dr. N. W. Brewster, a mis-
stnaerv of Hing Wha, Fukien prov-
ince, Southern China, asserted that
China la rapidly advancing toward a
prominent position among the highly
civilized nations of the world. He
said China is taking ambitiously to
world movementa, has gained an un-
derstanding of the necessity of re
specting modern commercial values
of credit, and that men of modern
thought and education are directing
its development. The change in the
arose of the people, improvement of
foods and in other conditions of liv-
ing were emphasised by the speaker
as evidence in support of his conten-
tion, and be said that in the adoption
of those modern methods China was
becoming an important factor in the
world’s markets.

DAINTIES FOR CHILDREN’S PAR-
TIES.
It ie often a difficult problem to flr.d
the right kind of a sweet to serve at
a children’s party, whom the food
must be simple, attractive aad whole-
some.
The birthday cake ia something that
every child may look back upon as
the most wonderful of all cakes. If
an angel food is baked, frosted and
the center used for the life candle,
with little tapers around it number-
ing the yearn, the edge finished with
a beading of tiny colored candies. It
will not be much work or expense,
and the joy of the little people will
be ample reward for the effort.
Pineapple Lemonade—This is a de-
liclous drink enjoyed by young and
older people. For each person allow
a half cup of grated pineapple, the
juice of one lemon, two tablespoonfuls
of sugar and a half cup of boiling wa-
ter. Whoa coot add a cup of cold wa-
ter for each person. Strain and chill

Speaker Says Rooster is To Blame
For Large Percentage of Eggs
Are Spelled.
it the egg you, get for breakfast is
a little stale. If the yolk betrays a
disposition to run and mix up with the
white, if it has a blood color or if it
tastes a little off, blame it on the
rooster. He's the guilty party three
times out of four. That’s what the
demonstrators of the bureau of chem-
istry here today with the poultry
packing and egg candling and re-
frigerating car operated by the United
States Department of Agriculture told
their audience.
■ That seventy-five per cent of the
lessee in esks was due to their fer-
tility was a fact they sought to im-
press. Kill or pen up the roosters in
the summertime when eggs are not
wanted for hatching and save $7,500,
uuo of the annual loss of $10,000,000
from bad eggs, was the moral.
Many Visit Car.
All throughout the day from the
time the car was opened on the
switch near the Wichita Ice Com-
pany’s plant “at 8:80 this morning,
crowds thronged the demonstration
car, whose experts conducted demon-
strations in egg handling and pack-
ing. Hundreds of people visited the
car, some of the visitors being egg
dealers who had come from points aa
far distant of 150 miles from points
along the Northwestern In Oklahoma.
H. 0. Merce of the bureau of chem-
istry was ia charge of the car. Other
demonstrators were M. C. Kilpatrick,
11. Shoader and A. J. Sullivan. W. L.
Evans, agricultural agent of the
Katy, also accompanied the car.
Visitors in groups of about fifteen
each were taken into a darkened com-
partment in the car, where the can-
dling and packing demonstrations
were conducted.
The Appearance of Eggs.
In the candling demonstrations, the
following points were brought out
about ths appearance of eggs:
Fresh eggs—Air space small, not ex-
eeding the size of a ten-cent piece,
white firm, yolks sluggish, dimly visi-
ble.
Stale—Air space large, white, thin,
yolk moves, quickly, plainly visible.
Heated—Air space either large or
small, white, thin yolk, plainly visi-
hle. showing distinct reddish glow.
Bloody-game as heated.'
Cause of Losses.
Heated or stale eggs due to hold-
ing for higher prices, keeping in warm
places, preserving, stolen nests, eggs
candled from incubators.
Spots due to dead germs caused
by incubation, stolen nests, intense
beat or from molds developed in cel-
lars.
Cracks due to Improper packing
by the producer and careless band-
Hag by shippers.
Rots caused by careless handling,
incubation, stolen nests, not gathered
often enough.
Dirties due to dirty nests, dirty
vards, not cleaning nest often
enough. .
The speakers pointed out that the
practice of some dealers and produc-
ere of packing eggs in cotton seed
caused them to sell from three to
four rents a dozen under the market
price in the big centers whether
there was anything the matter with
them or.not. The cotton seed stains
the egg shell and is enough to bar
them from the first class.
The car came here last night from
Gainesville and will leave tonight for
Denison, where II will be In the shop
for a short time for repairs, after
which it will leave for points in other
states on the Katy.

State Average in Estimated at 1,082,
000 and Present Condition
Ninety Per Cent.
Texas, wheat crop this year will be
15,600,000 bushels, according to agents
of the United States department of
agricuture who have recently com-
pleted their estimates after a survey
of the Texas wheat belt. Such a yield,
it realised. Would be approximately
two million bushels more than last
year and would be the largest showing
Texas has made since 1903, when
nearly twenty million bushels was
raised.
Crop failures this year have caused
the abandonment of only about five
per cent of Texas wheat acreage and
it ia estimated that 1,082,000 acres re
main to be harvested. The condition
of the Texas crop on May 1 was esti-
mated at ninety per cent of normal;
last year on the same date it was sex-
enty eight par cent.
Local estimates are that Wichita
‘ county will raise about.a million bush,
els of wheat within her borders this
year. Considerably more than that,
of course, will be raised in Wichita
Falls’ immediate trade territory,
which includes more than Wichita
county.
