Storing Eggs the Large End Down.

We have seen the directions given nu.
merous times to pack eggs with the little
end down, which Is decidedly wrong.
After careful observation and comparison
for two seasons, we have proved indis
putably that both for eating and setting,
eggs do keep much better the large end
down. There is after week marked
difference In eggs kept in positions as re-
CARDS the spreading of the air bubble
which is well known to affect both the
freshness for eating and vitality for setting
Of stored eggs--and after three weeks the
difference can be discerned even by the
taste alone. 1t will, of course matter lit
tie which mode is adopted, provided the
eggs are used for either purpose within q
short time; but the longer kept, the great
er the difference increases from the two
positions; and while eggs stored with the
small end down cannot be depended upon
after fortnight to produce more than a
proportion Of chickens, those kept In the
way we now advocate will keep perfectly
good for Matching month, or even
more.
We have known eggs kept a month
hatch. fairly, even on the old system
but we are now speaking of usual and
average results, and simply place at the
service of fanciers in general the results
of patient trial, which have abundantly
satisfied ourselves that there is real diff.
ference in the product Of the two posi-
tions. With regard to packing, so far as
actual injury Is concerned, we believe
there is no difference whatever in the two
WAYS; but if the journey occupy any time
the same position should be maintained
for similar reasons.
Our attention was first called specially
to the subject by most intelligent lady,
who advocated this plan, alleging as the
probable reason of its superiority, keep
ing eggs on the small end appears to me
to cause the air bubble to spread, detach.
| ING it from the shell, or rather from its
membraneous lining; and after being SO
kept for fortnight the air bubble will be
found to be much spread, and the eggs to
have lost much vitality, though still very
good for eating."-Nep York Herald.

It danced along united with the warbling

mountains rose almost perpendicularly,
but here and there the declining sun would
suddenly break through some open place,

rock back upon itsclfand reared temple,
whose massive proportions and sublime
yet awful grandeur seemed to picture in
Imagination the wild glens of Scotland,
where alone the prosecuted Covenanters
dared to meet and worship after the die
states of their own consciences. No wonder
their lives were pure and spotless-no won
der they were encouraged to persevere,
and their faith became as rigid and en-
during as the rocks themselves. Tell OF
