HOUSEHOLD HINTs.-The most cleanly method
of preserving eggs is to smear them with cotton
seed or linseed oil, and pack them, with the large
end down, in dry brsI, or wheat or oat chat. -
Keep in dry, cool cellar; they will remain in
good order for six months.
To remove egg stains On spoons: take a little
common salt, mois;snsd, between the thumb and
finger, and briskly rub the stain.
Boiling in a wsll-fsursd cloth will make
meat white. Cloths fer this purpose should be
carefully washed and boiled in clean water be-
tween each using, and not suffered to hang in a
damp place, which would give a bad favor to the
meat. The same applies to tapes and pudding
cloths.
Apple marange Nine large apples, peeled and
prepared the same as apple sauce, 8 tablespoons
of sugar; cover tight in saucepan, when done
strain through a colandsr, beat the yolks of a
eggs, mix with this the rind Of lemons, put it
in the pudding-dish and cover it with the whites
beaten to a stiff forth with tablespoonful Of
sugar and juice Of one lemen. Place the whole
in the oven until the narange is slightly brown

MELLOW Son AROUND TREEs.-Unless the sur
face of the ground is mulchsd around young
trees over an area Of six to ten feet in diameter
the ground should be kept clean and mellow.
Every farmer knows that a bill of corn or pota-
toes will not amount to much unless cultivated
and yet there are many who will neglect to give
the same care to tree which is worth hundred
hills Of either of the former. In rich SOIL trees
may grow rapidly witheut cultivation, and no
amount Of grass or weeds will retard them; but
there are other things besides growth to be looked
after. If the weeds and grass are allowed to
grow up around the stems of apple, peach or
ounce trees, the bark will become soft near their
base by being shaded, and thereby be in suita-
BILE condition for the reception OF the eggs which
will eventually become peach or apple borers.-
Take any dozen young apple trees in the sections
where the apple-borer is abundant, and allow a
portion to be choked with weeds and the remain
der we'll cultivated, and then watch the result
From our own experience, We believe that the
chances are nine to one in favor OF those cultiva-
ted being exemptfrom this pest Western Farmer.

From our exchanges we CLEAN the
following in relation to the Troupesburg
tragedy, of which we made mention
last week: For the last four years Mr..
Dildine had lived in Wellsville with his
wife, to whom he had been married
about seven years The couple did not
live in perfect accord, aud she foaly
left him aud went to her parents iu
Troupesburg. Dildine also went to
Troupesburg and called at the house OF
his father-in-law where he stw and
spoke TO his wife, her mother aud her
brother Eugene, Dildine said to his
wife "Helen, you came away pretty sud.
denly" Her answer was, "Yes, rather
suddenly" He then asked 10 speak
with her privately in another room,
which she refused, being afraid of her
life, as he looked very desperate. lie
attempted 10 force her into another
room, but was prevented by the help Of
her mother. Some talk was had about
the children, at the conclusion OF which
Dildine said he was going 10 take that
10y home with him in spite Of.
Hrs Hendricks said, "Wili, you have
got to be careful what you do here, as
there are loaded weapons in this house"
His reply was Il don, care Tor all the
loaded weapons this side Of, am
goug to have that boy" He then
seized the boy from It's mothers lap,
where it had fed for refuge and pro
lection, and started out OF the door to
his wa gon. Just as he was passing out
of the door, Eugene Hendricks took the
revolver and shot at him, the ball strik
ing below the shoulder blade in the
back, passing through the lett lung and
heart, aud lodging in the right lung
DiIdine took few step; towards his
wagon, when the pistol was again Gred,
the ball taking effect iu the left hip
lie still kept On his way, his vile To-
lowing az short distance crying out ioi
her child. Eugene shot the third time
this ball taking effect below the right
knee. lie probably aimed low to save
the child. Mrs. Di;dine by this time
had come up closely to her husband
She thought ne was about to strike her,
'tut it was noticed that his footsteps
we're becoming uncertain and then that
he fell to the ground. Mrs. D.ldinc

do you see your dying hu,band?" She
answered, Yes, viii. Is there any
thing IN DO for lou?" He mado no

to the house. Young Hendricks asked
the dying man if ne had any hope i I
