PRESERVING EGGS.

This is the season to put up a store
of eggs, against " time of need" There
are various modes Of preserving them.
Lime-water has been found to answer
well. Mr.. X. A. Parsons Of Buffalo, in
forms us that he has been successful in
preserving them with salt. He takes
large stone jars, or tight kegs, and packs
the eggs on The small end, first putting
in layer of salt, and then layer OF
eggs, taking care that the eggs do not
touch the keg or jar. In this way the
vessel is filled to near the top, when it
is carefully covered over and placed in
a cool dark place. Mr.. P. has kept
them in this way perfectly good for three
years. 1t is important that the eggs
should be new, not more than ten days
old, when put up, if it is intended to
keep them great while.-.1lbany Cul-

ALBUMEN-A CURE FOR DYsENTERY
The following is translation of {
recipe for the cure of this complaint
which was published by the physicians
of Spain in the Gazettes of Madrid dur
ing 1910.
Prepare a draught of Albumen, by
taking the whites of forty eggs or more,
and, after whipping them well, sweeten
the same, if necessary, with a small por-
ton of the best double refined sugar.
Let the patient drink large quantities OF
this repeatedly, inasmuch as to fill his
stomach, administering clysters of the
same as often as possible. The patient
must maintain total abstinence from
diet of any kind. In few hours after
the pains will abate, and in twenty-four
hours the disease will disappear; il
it do not, it will be sure to disappear in
forty-eight hours, provided the patien,
repeat the draughts as usual. 1.-THE adj.
dition Of a few drops of orange flower
water is highly beneficial. l-Ea.
