A Texan Invention.


The Lone Star state has had the
honor of placing before the general
public some of the most wonderful
and important culinary inventions OF
the age. Borden's celebrated "con-
densed milk" an article in general
use throughout the civilized world,
was the result of the genius of Gale
Borden, Texan. The various meth
DDS now in use for the canning and
preserving of fresh meats, are due, III
the main, to experiments made anu
perfected in this state. Recently
however, the public mind has been
startled by the PRONUNCIATION of pat
ent process for preserving, for any
length of time, and In "A perfectly
fresh and natural state, not only all
meats, fresh and saltwater fish, &c,
but also vegetables and fruits OF all
kinds. Mr.. Maxwell, of Texas the
original inventor of this process, dis
covered some five years ago, that by
simple, cheap, and perfectly harmless
process, all vegetable or animal mat
ter might be preserved for an linden
mite length Of time, and in any Gil
mate. Not being able TO perfect b''
invention, he ascot ted with him Dr
J. w. Davenport, now q resident o
Dallas, who brought the process inI'
perfection, and took out letters pateh
for il in Mr.. Maxwell's name. Sine
that time DIR. ID. has been workinl
and experimenting with the process
but hes not been able to throw 1t on
TO the public until within the past lev
months. A large number OF citizens
not only Of Dallas, but Of various othe
sections Of the state, have eaten OF til
delicaeies preserved by this process;
and, in every instance, have pre-
nounced them as fresh and as natura
as If just plueked from the parentsten
The advantages OF this process are
first, cheapness In preserving; second
durability In keeping, whether exposes
% the atmosphere or not and, thirdly

the fact that it should not be forgotten
that il is to the south we owe the first
efforts to make a home for religious
freedom in America. The editor says;
at is a remarkable fact that the ear

liberty in state polity was in the Catho-
lie colony of Maryland by the tolera-
ton act in the charter of Sir George
Calvert. Quite as noteworthy is it, too
that the south to-day has more free

Dried Eggs.

A large establishment has been opened
in st. Louis for drying eggs. 1t is in
full operation, and hundreds of thou
sands of dozens are going into its insati-
able NAV. The eggs are carefully
'candled' by hand-that is, examined
by light to ascertain whether good or
not-and are then thrown into an
immense receptacle, where they are
broken, and by centrifugal operation
the white and yolk are separated from
the shell very much as liquid honey is
separated from the comb. The liquid is
then dried by heat, by patent process,
and the dried article is left, resembling
sugar; and it is put in barrels and is
ready for transportation anywhere.
This dried article has been taken twice
across the equator in ships, and then
made into omelet, and compared with
omelet made from fresh eggs in the same
manner, and the best judges could not
detect the difference between the two.
Is this not an age of wonders? Milk
made solid, cider made solid, apple butter
made into bricks What next?

The Bee Question.

A subscriber from Somerset county,
Ohio, sends the following:
Mr.. Editor: In reply to the inquiry
of subscriber as to the cause of his
bees dying, will state my experience.
l have lost three hives during the past
winter one was very strong in the fall,
but through the cold weather some of
the lower bees froze, and stuck between
the combs so tight that the rest smother
ed. The other two died in the spring,
and on close examination found they
had gathered some cider and it had
soured, which would naturally kill them
by feeding on it even if the sour spot is
very small; they will all feed wherever
they cut the first caps from the honey,
until the honey is all gone before they
cut any more. In my hives the soured
place was not as large as the palm of my
hand. w. III. X.

The Potato and the Beetle.

AT the present writing, indications are
that farmers will cultivate but small
acres in potatoes the coming season. The
dread of the potato beetle is at the bot
tom, and hence few words of warning
will not be inopportune.
A small crop means high prices; con-
sequently, if the majority of farmers
cease to grow the potato, the farmers
who do succeed in getting a crop, will
reap the benefit from the scarcity, in
high prices.
The potato beetle is no great hindrance
to the growing of potatoes, but only an
everlasting bother. The good farmer
will use Paris Green, and an expenditure
here in preserving the crop, will be
amply repaid by the increased price,
which will follow a diminution in the
culture.
Then, let those parties who have
potato land, and who have themselves
the determination to thoroughly protect
their crops from the beetle, confidently
continue in potato cultivation, and hope
for satisfactory prices for their product.
Let those farmers, however, who are
too careless to protect their crop, see to
it, that they do not embark on losing
venture. The wise few are bound to
profit by the acts of the negligent
many,

Cleaning Carpets.

The subject of carpets and disease Is
one am often troubled about. They
are so continually quite overlooked in
cleaning rooms where contagious dis
eases have been, and are doubtless the
means of carrying diseases to others. 1
use damp cornmeal and salt. TO sweep
a carpet thoroughly with broom, take
q pint of meal and a half pint of salt and
moisten them together with just water
enough to keep the meal from flying
about, not wet enough to stick to the
carpet; sprinkle pretty thickly on one
side of the room, and sweep straight
across ; add n little more meal as the
dust begins to fly-this cleans the carpet
nicely, too. But for daily sweeping L
use carpet-sweeper this eflectually
gathers up the dust, shreds, and particles
of lint which usually fly furiously, and
must settle down on to every particle of
furniture in the room, and then be re-
moved with the dusting-cloth. 1 have
found the carpet-sweeper q grand helper
all around, saving dust, labor and weary
backs. Even in the sick-room it can be
used slowly, and thus guard against the
noise which sweepers make. The cost
of it will certainly be made up to the
woman who has many rooms to sweep
think it will sweep room sufficiently
four times out of five; the fifth time 1

broom.-E. r. b., In Herald of Health
