Preserving Eggs in Winter.

"E. A. B." Herkimer Co ~ Y, asks
how to preserve eggs for winter use. We
have kept eggs perfectly good from Octo-
Der to March in the following manner
A piece of lime, as large as a quart dip
per, is put into five gallons of water, and
salt added until an egg will float. This
is strained and put into clean keg, into
which loose head is made to fit easily;
a knob is fitted to the head for a handle
The eggs are put, as they are gathered,
into the liquid, and the loose head placed
on them to keep them below the surface.
The keg should be kept in a cool place
in the cellar. The liquor will not freeze
except at a lower temperature than lreez-
ing point. Eggs thus preserved will sell
readily as lined eggs until fresh eggs
come, and are almost as good as fresh
ones -Er

Why Horse Carries his Tongue Out.

In answer to the Ohio correspondent, !
would cay, the reason why horse carries
his tongue out of his mouth is because
the tongue is over, instead of under the
bit. | cured a mare of mine last year of
this habit. by fixing wire loop in the
joint of the bit, so as to run up into her
mouth three and half to four inches. |
also buckled strap around her mouth
close to the bit, SO she could not open it
wide enough to work her tongue over. l
made complete cure in three or four
weeks, and now if the bit is placed under
her tongue she will work until she gets it
over.
All horses carrying their tongue out of
their mouths will be found to have them
over the bit. Great care should be used
the first few times bride is put on a
colt to have the tongue under the Bit

FARM And HOUSEHOLD.
THE AGE OF POULTRY.


Few housekeepers, and fewer cooks.
are as good judges of the age of poultry
as they ought to be. We all know when
poultry comes upon the table, whether it
is tender or tough and there should be
no difficulty of knowing just as certainly
whether chicken, duck, goose Or turkey
lie old or young. VIII II ii is offered for sale.
Now, the following is offered as a rule by
which, if read over few times. and then
laid away for ready reference when
needed, 10 person need purchase old,
tough poultry unless fiom choice:
If hens spur is hard, aud the scales
on the legs rough she is old. whether
You see her head or not; bu, the head
will coIroborate your observation. II tie
under bill is so stiff that you cannot bend
it down, and the comb tl.ick and rough,
leave her, no matter how fat and plump,
for some one le-s particular. a young
hen has only tie rudimenls of spurs the
scales on the legs smooth, glossy, and
fresh colored, whatever the color may be
the claws tender and short, the nails
sharp. the under bill soft, aud the comb
thin and smooth
An old hen turkey has rough scales Oh
tie legs callosiiies on the soles of the
feet, and long strong claws a young one
the reverse of all these marks. When
The feathers are on, the old turkey cock
has long tuft of beard youcg one bu,
sProuting one; and when they are off,
the smooth scales on the legs decide the
point, besides the difference in size of the
wattles of the neck and in the elastic
shoot upon the nose
An old goose. when alive, is known by
the rough l. gs, the strength of the wings,
par'icuilrly at the pinions, the thickness
aud strength OF the bill and the fineness
of the feathers and when plucked, by
the legs, the tenderness of the skin under
the wings, by the pinions and the bill,
and the coarseness of the skin.
Ducks are distinguished by the same
means, but there is this dfereuce-that
a duckling's bill is much longer in pro-
portion to the breadth of its head than an
old duck \ young pigeon is discovered
by its pale colors, smooth scales, tender,
collapsed feet, and the yellow leng down
interspersed among its feathers. A pig
con that can fly has always red-colored
legs and no down, and is then too old
for use.

Uses of Rawhide.

The skin Of an animal, whether cow,
calf, colt or horse, that dies on the farm,
is worth more at home than at the tan
ner's. Cut it into narrow strips and
shave off the hair with a sharp knife be-
fore the kitchen fire, or in your work
shop on stormy days and evenings. You
may make them soft by rubbing. A raw
hide halter strap, an inch wide, will hold
horse better and longer than an inch
rope. 1t is stronger than hoop-iron and
more durable. and may be used to hoop
dry casks and boxes, and for hinges.
Try it on broken thill, or on any
wood work that has been split. Put it
on wet and nail fast. Thin skins make
the best bagstrings in the world. A
raw hide rope is gooc substitute for a
chain.

DESTROYING WEEDs-Our Legisla
ture is being peIitioned TO pass an act
providing for the destruction of weeds in
this State. Owners, occupiers, or lessees
of land are to be compelled to keep no:
only their farms free from such weeds as
muIens, wild carrot, Canada thistle,
horse nettle and oxeye daisy, but those
portions of the public roads which pass
through or adjoin their properties. Rail
road companies are to be amenable to
the provisions of this act. As very much
mischief has been done by selling grass
seed foul with all these and more wild
seed, persons who knowingly or even in
advertently do so should be brought
within the scope of this act. If it is
true that "the destruction of the poor is
their poverty" it is equally true that
weeds produce poverty both of the farm
end the farmer.
