A Qualer's Recipe for Koeping Eggs

Being subscriber to the LADY's
Book for very many years and liking it,
I send thee the following receipt for
keeping eggs for winter use. One can
commence packing them now while eggs
are low. 1t is called Crooks receipt"
One pint Of alum, ane pint of unslacked
lime, to bucket of water; allowing it
to remain all night, stirring it we'll. In
the morning, look your eggs over care
fully, seeing that they are all fresh and
sound; place them in large jar, pouring
the mixture over them. Then cover
them over with a number of newspapers,
then muslin cloth.
I have seen sixty dozen put up this
way, and they keep elegantly. If thee
thinks it is worthy of place in thy in
valuable hook, shall be pleased to see
it among the receipts.

MOONS PHASES.
Humus and Fertilizers.

: The Southern Cultivator publishes
communication calling the attention of
planters who have used commercial fer
tilizers to the condition Of their crops,
with especial reference TO any difference
observable in the size and growth Of the
cotton-plant in the same field, manurcd,
cultivated and in all respects treated
alike, or on land which, to superficial
observation, appears to be the same in
different fields. 1t is desirable to know
why the same amount of fertilizing pro-
duces much better effect on one field
than on another, both seeming to casual
observation to be the same in quality
Giving his own experience in the matter
the writer says:
rented to a freedman an old field
which has not been cultivated in fifteen
years. 1t was utterly exhausted before
it was turned out, and was ms poor as it
could be. It grew broomscdge until the
pines sprang up, and then the grass and
pines grew together. My cattle ran on
it. The freedman cut down the pines,
plowed the land twice with scooter,
and with small plow made what he
called beds, and in shallow burrows,
made with a scooter, scattered about $50
pounds fertilizer to the acre, and upon it
dropped his cotton-sccd, and covered
with board. On III adjacent field of
the same quality Of land originally, but
which had been kept in cultivation, and
mannred every year, | planted cotton,
plowing deep with two-horsc Dodge
plow, and applied 200 pounds of ammo
mated phosphate, with ten bushels rotten
cotton-seed to the acre, and cultivated
we'll.
The frecdmans cotton is better than
mine. Why?
Because his ground had vegetable matter
derived from the broomscdgc and fine
straw, of which my field had been de-
prived by cultivation. conclude,
therefore, that fertilizers put on land, no
matter how literally, without due sup
ply of humus, that is. vegetable matter,
is thrown away.
And the complaints we often hear of the
worthlessness Of the fertilizer is due to
this cause.
Experiments during two years obvi-
ously point to the fact that manures
having carbonnceous matter in the form
OF humus act better upon the soils dcsti-
tute of vegetable matter, such as n large
proportion of southern soils. reduced by
repeated cropping in corn and cotton,
both of which tend to humus destruction.
The commercial manure acts chemically
upon the soil which has little but mine

PoETlR Y
ODE:
To the Survivors, Association, at Anniyer-
snry of 1878.

Still mirthful mood and stiae idle jest.
Ask not for inockery of souls possessed,
OF hallowed thought. The prayer suppressed,
So long, hath fragrant promise still,
To soothe the breast
flushed be the din; from cares entliral release
This solemn scene. Throw restrained SUI
AS calm as Hero's rest Oh let the peace
From gybes and bitterness ,enfrce.
This hours short lease.
And DER the glebe OF consccrated earth,
Pile laureled heaps, MS high rs martyr worth,
And cypress strew, for Fame that had its birth
In freedoms fall The life though brief was
grand,
Ere it went forth.
The dinted shield, neglected lies apart,
And glaive no more out ready sheath doth start.
The trumpets blare, the graphing hand-the
heart
All sleep; the rest of never ending truce.
Well done; their part.
Adown the track of lifc's uncertain way.
Hope wearic,l prys, amid the cleaning gray,
And pilgrim like looks long for distant day,
That night defcls, and darkness mantlcs DER.
With gloom Away.
Yet falter not the march we tread is just,
Truth must be truth though tramplcd to the
dust
Forward guide right; in God be all your trust,
They fell for Right, and, falling, spurncd the
wrong
Survivors must.
