HOW TO COOK EGGS IN THE

A correspondent of the Agricultarist
writes some way to cook,eggs is to drop
them into boiling water, and let them re.

while within it is still uncooked. Another

DISEASES FROM AMMONIA IN
STABLES.

Nothing is more common than diseases
among cattle, especially horses, arising
from foul stables. Horses are more troub-
led with it than cows, probably from the
fact that their dung is generally richer and
undergoes a more rapid fermentation,
throwing out ammonia in large quantities.
In close stable the gas is so strong that
the eyes are painfully effected with it.
This is an alkali, aud is classod among
the most powerful stimula nts, the constant
respiration Of which predisposes to the eff.
fcctions of the lungs The strength of the
gas may be judged from the odor that
arises from common hartshorn smelling
bottle. In many stables no provision
whatever is made to guard the animals
against this subtle poison The floor is
always saturated with urine, and the pun
gent odor Of this gas is always present.
There are many cheap experiments
within the reach of most farmers to pre-
vent this nuisance, and to save the ammo
MIA for the manure heap. As all the AMI
mails are now coming to the stables, par
ticular attention should be paid to this item
of economy. Common ground plaster is a
absorbent, and few quarts sprinkled daily
in the manure cutters, will keep them
sweet and clean. Sawdust from the shin.
gle and saw mill will make good bedding,
and if renewed often enough, it will retain
all the amonia In most mills in the coun-
try, this article aocumuatcs, and has to be
thrown into the stream, to get rid of it,
1t may be turned to profitable account for
bedding.
Some farmers living near tan works,
use the spent tan bark for this purpose.
If kept under cover and used in the dry
state, it makes very valuable manure
Shore farmers have an unfailing resource
in sea weed, particularly the eel grass.
If this is spread and dried upon the shore
it makes good bed, and has great power
of absorbing gas. Better still is dry muck
and peat kept housed for the purpose. A
half cord of this under horse with lit
tie changing where the water falls, will
keep stable sweet for two weeks. This
is within reach of most farmers, and h,
perhaps, the cheapest and best method of
enlarging the compost heap Leaves gath
cred from the forest, or straw, make a
suitable covering for the muck at night,
and keep the animals clean. As ammonia
is the most valuable constituent of the
manure heap, it ought to be point point
of honor with every eultivator not to have
an ounce wasted. 1t is the very life of his
business-good for the eyes of potatoes,
beans and other plants, but very bad for
the eyes of horses and cattle.
