GRIDDLE GREAsING 1t is stated that a
griddle may be prepar, ID for baking cakes

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Rural Gen

A MAN in Jay, Me, obtained, not long
since, pair of fowls, which were styled
Msgentas, from their plumage, which was
OF beautiful magenta color. The owner
engaged more eggs than his handsome
"biddy" could probably have laid in a
lifetime. Unfortunately the pair were ex-
posed to the lamp weather, and got thor
oughly wet when the magenta disappear
ed, leaving nothing but pair of common
white barn yard fowls.
PRESERVING EGGS "A fresh egg fills
the shell and will not make noise when
shaken. In short time portion of the
albumen will escape by transpiration-a
partial vacuum will be created, and the
value of the egg diminished rapidly till it
becomes rotten. If the air could be who'll
ly excluded from the meat of the egg it
would remain in an eatable state for years.
The best ordinary preservative is to place
the eggs in lime, apex downward, and fill
the crock or tub with water In this way
they will keep quite well for months.-Ru-
rat Neao Yorker.
HINTS FOR HE MoNTH-Stock at this
season of the year requires particular care.
Horses that have been stabbed up during
the winter, with but little labor or exercise,
are somewhat tender, and should not be
pushed too hard until lhey get seasoned to
the labor and warm weather; they are
shedding their coats, which of itself is
weakening Now word as to their gen.
eral treatment. The morse has more intel
llgence than he gets credit for; if GU treat
him kindly he will return the favor. II is
useless and in bad taste to be bawling at
him and whipping him when he does not
know what you want him to DO. Speak
gently to him and by gentle means get him
10 understand what you want him to do
and he viii obey you 10 the best of his
ability.
Cows should have extra care at this sea-
son, and some grain added to their allow
ance of food, but the grain should not be
fed whole, unless it is steamed.
Ewes that are sucking should be well
fed, as well to keep up their own cOndi-
ton, as to bring their lambs the sooner in
TO market
Poultry ought now to be filing the egg
basket, and will, if they have justice done
them. 1t is not enough that they are
well fed, other conditions are required.
Their houses should be well cleansed, heir
nest-boxes scrubbed, and little quick
lime sprinkled In them; the floors OF their
houses or roosting sheds should also be
well sprikled with quick-lime, and the
roasting poles white washed All these
are necessary to purify the atmosphere,
and destroy the vermin thai infest these
places. The lining process should also be
applied to the horse. COW and sheep sta
