The Washington correspondent Of the
Co1tr1er-JournaL says that in view of the
elections already and the political drift
manifested in Ohio and other States, the
politicians here are beginning to prophe-
sy an anti-administration majorityin the
next House of Representatives. The
body is composed of 292 mambers. The
Democrats now have 80 members, and
have to gain 81 members in order to Sc
cure majority. They have gained al
ready, 2 in North Carolina; z in Ohio; l
IN West Virginia; and in Indiana; to-
tai, IA. Gains are claimed as follows;
Alabama, 4; Arkansas, q; California, 2;
Connecticut, 2; Delaware, i; Florida, 4;
Georgia, 2; Illinois, 4, Maryland, 2; Mas
sachusetts, 1; Minnesota, Missouri, l.;
New Hampshire, /; New Jersey, 2; New
York, 8; Pennsylvania, 5; South Carroll
ma, 1; Tennessee, 3; Virginia, 3; Wis
consin, 3-making in all "a members. =
This would give an opposition majority
of about 90 votes. The gains above
claimed in Delaware, Arkansas, Geor-
gia, Virginia and Tennessee, from:a4ltae
information received here, may be re-
garded as positively certain, and the rest
are sufficiently probable to justify the
hopes thus confidently ihdu1ged

How to Prepare and Pack But
Ter and Eggs for Market.

+
20 Permit me to make to shippers of cOun-
try produce a few suggestions how to
prepare and pack butter and eggs for
market, that it may, if good article,
sell readily and at the highest market
price: \ ar 9.-aa rl.2
Butter should be packed only in ash,
beech, chestnut, oak, maple or poplar
| packages, and these should be thorough
! ly steamed, in order to extract all color
ing matter and flavor from the wood,
both of which materially iniure the but
ter. Just before packing the butter, soak
the package, for a few minutes in fresh
water, then dip it Immediately into a
! strong brine. This viii prevent the but
ter from sticking to the wood, Never
use pine packages nor pine covers The
pine impregnates the butter with the
turpentine flavor, which greatly dePre-
ciates its value. Butter left for one night
in pine box or tub is injured for the ta-
BILE or bakers use. - 4 s.,-.-5.-- ......,
Eggs are an article en- trade of great
magnitude. The crop of the United
States is equal in value to one-fourth
that of the cotton crop. Egg shippers
are often careles in their selection and
packing, and common carriers handle
the packages very roughly. Fresh and
clean eggs sell quickly; stale and dirty
no one wants, The washing of them, or
leaving them in the sun, hot room. or
damp place causes them to rot in a short
time, 70 have them keep well, they
should be kept always in a cool dry place.
Eggs before being packed, should be ex-
amined in dark room by candl light to
see that they are clear and good. Pack
always in dry clean and sweet oats or
cut straw Never pack over seventy doz-
en- eggs in barrel.
