A SIMPLE WAY TO KEEP EGGs.-
A correspondent gives the following to
the Rural WeU Yorker:
'In August / generally commeece
saving eggs, aud am very careful to save
only good aud fresh ones. l take boxes
which hold about 200, put on the bot
tom layer of oats, sud set my eggs all
point downwards, SO that not one touches
the other, until the layer is full, then
cover with oats aud make another layer,
and so on until the box is full, and then
cover and set in a COOL dry place, where
it does not freeze, until used. l have
followed this way for the last twenty
years, and cannot say that ever los:
more than one or two out of fifty, and
then generally found that it was knocked
or put down unsound. / use small
boxes, SO that | can use first the eggs
which put down first. | have never
thought of changing my way, although
| hauc read go many ways to do it, for
snstance, in ashes, in fat, iu lime, in
lime water and even vanishing them,
because my way seemed to be the
simplest and cleanest and am Just as
sure to have good eggs next February
and March, which lay 10 now, as can
have good eggs now. There is no
danger Of having any musty taste to
the eggs if you keen them in in dry
place and are careful to use dry oats"

Lazy Dick.
BY AUNT MERCY.

A friend of mine in the city has a
dog named Dick. My friends parents
live three or four miles out of town
and Dick is very fond of visiting them,
as they are in the habit of saving choice
bits of food for his supper.
For sometime Dick never made his
visits except in company with a member
of the family; but, after a while, he
began to go away alone, about once a
week, spending the whole day, and
returning at night.
To the question, "Where have you
been, sir?" he gave DO other reply than
satisfied bark, which seemed to mean
that he had been having a good time.
At last his mistress determined to
watch him; and one morning, as he
left the house, she followed him at a
distance that he did not notice her.
Dick ran to the corner of a street
through which the horse-cars passed
every half-hour, for the home of. his
friends in the country. Here he sat
down and waited and, as soon as the
right car came along, he jumped into
it boldly, and took seat with the other
passengers. Cas-, .....
On inquiring Of the conductor, Dicks
mistress learned that he was in the
habit of riding out in the morning, and
back at night, for some time.
He never failed to get in and out Of
the car at the right place; but, whether
he remembered to pay his fare OF not,
I cannot tell you.
Now, if any, OF my little readers CAL
Uniform me how Dick knew what car tC
to take, and where to get out, [ would
be very glad to know.-Ihe Nursery

Remedy for Painful Wounds.

The Country Gentleman says /: Take
a pan or shovel with burning Goals and
sprinkle upon them common brown
sugar, and hold the wounded part in
the smoke In a few minutes the pain
will be allayed and recovery proceeds
rapidly. In my own case a rusty nail
had made bad wound in the bottom
of my foot. The pain and nervous II
ritation was severe. This was was all
removed by holding it in the smoke for
fifteen minutes, and [ was able to re-
sumo my reading in comfort. We have
often recomme ded it to others with
like results. Last week one of my men
had finger nail torn out by pair of
ice tongs. 1t became very painful as
was to have been expected. Held in
sugar smoke for twenty minutes, the
pain ceased, and it promises speedy re-
cOyery.

Clement. Morton & Co.

The extraordinary career of this wholesale
clothing house is a striking illustration of the
marvellous pluck and enterprise which has
given Chicago and Chicago business men
world wide renown. In the fall of 1870 this
firm lost their stock of about 100000 by fire,
but Immediately resumed business with a
largely increasing trade. Again in the great
fire of October, 1871, their stock of over
5000, 200 was entirely swept away. Meeting
every engagement promptly on time, they were
the first i II their line to resume business in
full, having their manufacturing department
in running condition early in November, giving
employment during the winter to 400 work
men; and to-day they offer to the trade a
stock of nearly half million dollars. with a
daily business more than double that of any
former year. With their enterprise, facilities,
and high reputation for honorable dealing, we
predict for thema brilliant future = Chicago

The Prospects of DaIry5ng.

During the last SIX or eight years but
ter and cheese making have been all
the rage. The cry went forth that the
dairymen were the only farmers who
were making any money. So everybody
engaged in agriculture was inclined to
rush into dairying, as just before every
body rushed into hop-culture. Their
experience with hops, however, told
them that crisis must sooner or later
come in daiTying, but each hoped to
get rich before the business got suffi-
GENTLY oveIdone to make it unprofita-
BILE; and we think everybody has been
disappointedin two ways: LIST. Because
wealth has been accumulated so slowly
by dairying and I'd. Because the crisis
has not sooner come.
On the whole, as regards prices, the
prospects Of dairying this. season have
not been encouraging. The price Of
butter has dropped off fully 20 per
cent, and butter making has been no
more profitable than cheese making,
while we do not consider the future of
the butter market any more promising
than the cheese market. Still, nobody
has suffered badly, except those who
made such poor butter or cheese that
buyers would not pay a remunerative
price for it. Such ought to suffer until
they leave the business or learn to
make a better article.
Prices, though low as compared with
the quotations of the last few years,
have not been so much lower. if COM
puted in gold, nor SO low as to not pay
the first class dairyman, who has the
proper facilities and farm suited to
the business, as we'll as anything else.
Bat we think they have been low
enough, and the outlook threatening
to drive out of the business those who
have no right to engage in lt-those liv-
ing in localities, and occupying farms
better suited to other branches of agri-
culture than to dairying. We believe
many factories in the West that have
run this year, will not open next spring,
and that such will be the case with most
of the unsuccessful factories in our own
State.
We therefore consider the prospects
of legitimate dairying never better than
they are now. Speculative dairying has
had its day We must now settle down
to solid business. Our past exper-
1eHce WIS ne6ued TO determine VINO
should do the dairying and who should
not. And even those who have lost in
the dairying have gained something
they have gained the knowledge that
dairying is not the Business for them to
pursue. --.-.
We say, then, to the man who knows
he has a good dairy farm and how TO
manage the business, be not discourage
ed, though you may not have made
anything this year, and may not next
year Better times are coming stick
TO your legitimate business; for If you
cannot succeed in that, you cannot
succeed in anything. Ii you have lost,
the adventHrer, who does not enjoy
your natural advantages, has lost more,
and must go at something else as he
ought. But you need not change, and
should not. Even though your advan-
tages are no better that others, it is no
sign you should go out of the business
because they do. The time to stick to
a business is when others are leaving
it Utica Herald.

Glover as Il Shade.

There is probably no other plant in
the word of such value to the farmers
for this purpose. 1t furnishes the most
perfect protection to the soil during
the fierce dry heats of summer. Being
a constantly deciduous plant, its leaves
are perpetually falling, and soon form a
delicate covering for shade, and easily
penetrated at all points by the air, which
is the great career to the worn out soil
of those atmospheric elements that
are to enrich it. In this way the clover
plant not only contributes directly to
the fertilizing of the soil by giving its
own substance to it, but it furnishes q
protective covering to the entire ground,
which encourages and stimulates those
chemical processes by which the hun
cry and exhausted soil is recuperated
from the first supplies of nutriment
that are held in the atmosphere. 1t
becomes to the farmer the most valua,
BILE fertilizer in the world, as it imparts
fertility 30 the entire soil.
