To KEEP EeGs OVER W1ETER-The
Farmers Advocas recently offered a
prize for the best method of keeping eggs
over winter. The receipt given below
took the prize:
Whatever excludes the air prevents
the eggs from decay. What have found
to DC the most successful method of do
ing SO IS to place a small quantity of
salt butter in the palm of the left hand
turn the egg around in it, so that every
piece of the she'll is closed then dry a
sufficient quantity of bran in an oven
be sure you have the bran well dried or
1t will rust Then pack with the small
ends down, layer of bran and another
OF eggs, until your box is full; then
place IN cool dry place. If done when
newly laid, they will retain the sweet
milk and curd of new laid egg for at
least eight or ten months. ANY oil viii
DO, but salt butter never becomes rancid
and very small quantity of butter Will
do Tor very large quantity of eggs.
10 insure freshness / rub them when
gathered In from the nests; then pack
when there is sufficient quantity.

Fencing has become one of the most
important considerations demanding the
attention of the farmers and it is won
derful that they should so long submit
to the want of proper legislation in their
respective States, which would relieve
them from this most expensive burden.
An impression, almost as old as our
country itself, seems to exist that public
roads are public property, and that
grass which grows upon them is
the common property of all the inhabi-
tants. upon which their cattle NAV be
turned to pasture. This is great mis-
take, and one which requires immediate
correction, If for no other reason than
that it Is very expensive one for farm
ers. Public roads are, to be sure, pub
lie property. but only for special pur
poses. While the public have the right
to pass and repass over them, they have
no other right than this, which the law
gives them, and no more substantial
claim to pasture their cattle upon the
road than upon the other side of the
fence, In their neighbor's field. The law
allows the public to use the land occu-
pied by the road to travel over, and
whenever they cease, either by operation
of law, or otherwise, to use it for that
purpose, 1t becomes the property of the
owner of the farm through which ii
passes He is the fee simple right. II
is very unjust that either he who own.
the land, or, owning it, prefers to use
that of his neighbors, should be INDUCED
In 50 manifest wrong. 1t is the dut,
Of the Legislature of all States to protect
the agricultural interests Of the country
BY providing that cattle shall not run al
large. but that every man shall be com.
PEELED to take care of and feed his owl
stock, instead of turning it loose upor
the highway to depredate upon the DOS
sessions of his neighbor.-Honaestead.

MAKING CIDER.-A correspondent of
the Massachusetts FIOasgllnan says: Be-
fore speaking of my mode of preparation
l wish to protest against the use of sui
phlte' (not sulphate) of lime, recon-
mended by Prof Horsford. l tried it
many years since, and was entirely dis
gusted with the experiment. Others
may have had better success. 1t NAV
keep cider sweet, but in my case it i'm
parted vile favor, and no man would
recognize the vile fluid as cider.
My manner of refining cider is as fol-
lows: Fill clean, strong forty gallon
cask with cider made from sound apples
late IN the season On cool weather)
Place it in cool cellar as soon as made,
add one gallon pure spirit. one quarter
Of pound of white mustard seed at
once; take one-quarter of a pound of
American sheet islnglass fish glue, cut
IN small pieces place If In mil l-a~
cider from the barrel to cover well, let it
stand few hours in warm place, draw
more cider, and let it stand again; in
twenty four hours it will be well dissolv-
ed; turn this into the barrel, stirring
the whole thoroughly, and bung it up
tight In three or four weeks it will be
fit to bottle.
My original receipt called for twice
the quantity of spirit, ETC., above emu.
merated to barrel, but / have good
success with the quantity herein given.
Please bear in mind the importance Of
clean, strong casks and good late made
cider. Ny prOhibitory friends enioy and
compliment my cider, and, like Oliver,
''call for more"
