To Keep Eggs Over winter.

The Farmers Allocate, London, Ont,
recently offered prize for the best meth
cd ofkceping eggs over winter. The fol-
lowing recipe took the prize: Whatever
excludes the air prevents the decay of
eggs. What have found to be the most
successful method Of doing so is to place
. small quantity Of salt butter !. enc
palm Of the left hand and turn tho eggs
round in it so that every pore Of the shell
is closed; then dry a sufficient quantity
Of bran in an oven, (be sure you have tho
bran we'll dried or it will rust), then pack
the eggs with the small ends down,
layer Of bran and another Of eggs until
your box is full !; then put away in
cool and dry place. If done when laid
they will retain the sweet milk and curd
Of a new laid egg for eight or ten months.
Any oil will do, but salt butter never be.
comes rancid, and very small quantity
Of butter will do for large number Of
eggs. To insure freshness / rub them
when gathered from the nest, then pack
when there is sufficient quantity.

Practical Suggestions.

Creaking, halfhung farm gates are
nuisances and annoyances. Any man
with ordinary intelligence can make =
good gate of rough boards, and hang it
SO that it will open and shut conveniently.
Bars are old-fashioned nu;sances, difficult
to construct, difficult to open and more
difficult to shut. A good farmer nova
days discards them, as he should.
In open weather take the opportunity
to put the fences in thorough, repair;
straighten up posts, replace old plank
with new, and drive a nail wherever
needed. Worm fences are effective bar.
riers, but the corners are hot beds for the
production of noxious weeds. If planks
E wire are not handy, it would be better
to stake the corners and lay tho rails
straight, SO that the pillow may run CLOSE
up to the fence line.
Don't leave your wagons, moving ma.
chimes, ETC., in the weather. 1t rots the
wood and rusts the metal. A shed built
with rough posts and covered with straw
will save many dollar as . covering for
such things. Paint the, woodwork Of
wagons, hay frames, ETC., AMI sec that all
the metallic parts Of machinery are well
coated with oil.
1t not unfrequently happens that, with
an open season, sod blowing may be com.
menced late in the fall and be con-
tinued by spells through the. entire win
ter in this latitude. Besides advancing
spring work and enabling the farmer to
thus accomplish more in the year, winter
blowing is in itself i. benefit, when the
ground is in good condition.

show Mr.. Brlstow's connection with the
Ring, the following is published in the
interest of the Secretary of the Treas
ury:
The meaning of the Inter Oceans at.
tack on Brist0w is understood to be-
first, that Ham, its editor, was lately
kicked out OF custom-house sinecure;
second, that Babcock impressed the
Whisky Ring here with the necessity OF
assuming the offensive against Bristow;
third, that the Grant Ring believe it TO
be the White House cue to attack the
Secretary as preliminary to his dis
missal, and that Bristow's unlucky con-
nection with the Cunningham. whisky
gives these two factions { II they are not
one) the assailable point to begin upon.

We find the following credited to a
rural paper in Illinois: "Dr. Wilkins, of
Fairmount, recently visited a man and
woman in Montgomery county, Indiana,
whose ages are respectively 113 and Iii
years. and who have lived together in
the married state So years. The name Of
this ancient couple Is Fruits, and they
are the parents OF Mrs. Thomas Williams,
of Catlin township. The old man stands
up. as straight as ramrod, and does
quite good deal of work every day He
has always been moderate liver, and
uses no tobacco, which is an argument
against tobacco-users. But his wife has
been q steady smoker for sixty years,
which.is an argument in favor OF tobac-
co... The old lady is afflicted with can
Ger, which made its appearance upon her
forehead forty years ago, and which she
is how doctoring with coal oil. At one
time in her life she weighed 225 pounds,
but gradually shrank away till she now
tips the beam at 125."
