Why Do Eggs Spoil ?

We fnd lining the shell. thin skin.
which, when kept In healthy condition
by the albumeu OF the egg, Is impcry ious
to air. but II the egg remains too long in
one position. the yolk being heavier. the
alhumen gradually sinks through it. and
having none OF the qualities requisite for
keeping the skin fabricated and healthy,
the skin soon becomes dry aud pcr,ious TO
air. which pcnciraics through Il TO the
yolk. causing the same to rot Therefore
the true plan Is 10 keep the yolk In its
central position. By doing this. the egg
can be preserved for . long time our
plan for accomplishing this. l. to take a

Thinning Fruit and Vegetables.

To most persons 1t seems like waste
ful practice to pull of nice specimens OF
fruit and throw them away, before they
are ripe, g. well as TO cut up large and
thrifty stocks ~ Indian corn, End To pull
up half the turuips in q row, before they
have attained one-fourth their accustomed
size. But thinning must be done Mel
Their fruit vegetables or grain, can grow
larg and fair where the parts are crowded
into small compass. Plants and frut
will thrive luxuriantly for short time.
when growing as close as they can stand /;
but when IL becomes necessary orthree to
suhsist In the space and on the nourish-
ment that single specimen requires, their
growth is checked. and they increase IN
size slowly, until ripe, when, instead OF
one large specimen, there are several small
ones when apple or pear trees produce
more than one in a place. IL Is a good prac-
iice 20 thin ont the young fruit. Some
times the ripest specimens may he gather
Ell and In other instances the small and
inferior ones should be clipped of. One
large apple or pear Is more valuable than
twl small ones The same is true OF veg
etables, they must have room or they can
not grow large. Their leaves and fruit
need the space above ground, a. well A.

dian corn stands too thick. II 4 a good
plan to 90 through it and cut up those
stocks that do not promise to produce a
large ear and either feed them to animals
or cure for fodder. Four good stalks will
Weld more grain than Eve or six bad ones.
In some instances. farmers feed green corn
in the stalks tp their working oxen, cut
ting the hills clean as they go. much
better way would be to go twenty or more
rods into the field. and cut all the superuu-
mary stalks from ono or two rows. This
would give the good ears a better opportu-
nifty TO attain a larger size, while animals
would be supplied with the same GU tntiy

oLEANsE AND 'ESTnArE YOUR CELLARS.
Most cell rs contain large amount of de-
composing vegetable matter, in the form
OF decaying fruits and vegetables, which
give on their foul and poisonous gases
during the process OF decay. Then again
they are usually damp. close, unventils:ed
and unsunned. Air which is kept confined
and without the purifying Of sunlight soon
becomes impsre and unft to breathe. and
II TO this We add the dampuess and the
constantly escaping gases OF decomposing
vegetation. We have the condition of the
atmosphere Of cellan. This atmosphere
Is constantly finding its way into the dwell
ling above often causing dangerous fevers.

Make HnmA Affracflye.

There is among the sons and daughters
of farmers, widespread eagerness to
leave the old homestead. In order TO seek
a better fortune in the over crowded city.
We do not say to young farmers, :. Stay
away from the city" buy land" and such
like advice. which Is always volunteered
to them on all occasions, in season and out
of season. II the son of q farmer has an
aversion to agricultural labor. II he Is
continually trying to get away from 1t. he
had better. by all means, he allowed to fol-
low the bent Of his inclination. But In
MANY cases. Thu aversion To the labor of
the farm arises from the shiftle $. thrift-
less, u happy surroundings of the home
stead. rather than from any constitutional
dislike to farming. II Is no more than
probable that no efforts have been made to
render home attractive as well a. useful.
With the advantage of plenty OF room,
the farmers house may be made pai sdise
to The eve, by means OF trees. shrubbery
walks. mounds. glens, and tastefully con
structed and arranged farm buildings.
MANY a farm has the facilities of an artitc-
ial lake, a trout pond, or q cascade, that
could be constructed at very little expense
OF labor and money. All this would be
pleasing to the eve, and would. in some
measure. satisfy the longing for the beauti-
| ful, which exists as well In the minds OF
farmers sons and daughters As in the mind,
OF those city born and bred.
Another way OF furnishing means o
| contentment to farmers sons is 10 provide
them with tools and facilities 10 do differ
cnt kinds of work. Almost every boy ha,
natural inclination for using tools. |
