Prusslng's Vinegar.

AS the picking season is now at hand,
and many housekeepers are concerned
about getting Vinegar That will keep their
pickles, we deem it our duty to inform our
readers that Prussing's Vinegar is ad-
mitted by all who have tried it to have no
superior in the market for this purpose.
Mr. Prussing warrants his Vinegar to be
free from all poisonous acids, and to pre-
serve pickles. His works are the largest
of the kind in the United States, and
owing to the extra quality Of his Vinegar,
it is rapidly superseding all others with
the city and country trade. Dealers and
consumers should not fail to ask for it
when replenishing their stock.--Spriag.

Wintering Sheep.

Farmers keeping sheep ought to see
that their quarters for winter are comfort
able. Plenty Of room should be provided
for sheep will not do well when crowded
into close quarters, Their pens or sheds
should be well ventilated. 4 covering of
straw makes frst-rate roofing. The
floor ahould. be well Uttered, with straw
once in or 4 days, and as often cleaned
They should be ted regularly. Hay should
be disposed in racks, easily reached while
feeding, vet high enough TO be clear Of any
contact with their feet on the ground
They should have oats, or whatever Is
given beside their hay, at regular hours
Much advantage is gained by regularity in
all matters appertaining to the farm or
iarmyard. If farmers understood this fact,
and put il more into practice than they do,
theyswould be gamers by it.
Sheep should not be fed too highly.
More is lost by high feeding than is
gained An old uncle of mine, having
had long experience in sheep raising and
keeping, used to say that one spoonful of
oats day was sufficient and that sheep
would do well enough on that allowance
with plenty Of hay. Salt should be given
at least once a week.
Care should be taken in building pens
or sheds to make an entrance large
enough. Sheep ought not to be crowded
in going in or out Many fine animals
have been injured-in that way, for sheep

feeding time comes, with a rush, and hud.

Preserving Eggs.

At late meeting Of the Western New
York Farmers club, Mr.. Quimby, as re-
ported by the american Farmer, gives his
method of preserving eggs considering
it timely as the season for packing for
winter use is at hand. His practice is to
gather the eggs from the nests, and when
two or three dozen are obtained, to place
them in dish and pour scalding water
over them, and Immediately turn it of.
This process is repeated three times, by
which means the albumen is fixed or coag-
ulated-the pores Of the shells closed, and
the egg, as it were, canned in its own COW
ering. Thus prepared, the eggs are ready
to be packed away in the cask designed to
hold them for future use. Spread a layer
of salt over the bottom of the cask or
crock, sufficient to steady the eggs and
then set them in circle, apex downward,
till the surface is covered with eggs Add
more salt, and proceed as before till the
cask is tilled-the top layer being covered
with salt for the exclusion of the air. Put
down in this way eggs will keep, as fresh
as when first laid, for long time. They
have been found as fresh at the end of the
year as when first laid, with no perceptiblc
change in their flavor
