cupful of milk alternately and gradual
" into the other ingredients; bake at
once.
To KEEP EGas FOR W1NTEr.-The
eggs must be perfectly fresh. Wrap
each egg in newspaper, or any other
soft paper, twisting each end of the pa
per SO that it cannot loosen from the
egg; take q bag of coarse muslin, made
in the shape OF @ pillow slip, pucker mp
one end in your hand and tie q strong
string around it tightly, leaving the
ends long enough to tie O loop; place
your eggs in this bag, putting the ends
all downward. It does not matter which
end, but you must be sure not to have
them on the side. About fifty is a good
number to put in N bag. Then puck
er up the open end of the bag firmly
against the eggs, and tie it up like the
other end. Be very sure to use Irvine.
Hang them up in a cool place, and turn
them upside down every day, hanging
first from one loop, then from the other.
I have eaten eggs kept five months in
this way, and they were not in the least
ususty, and could not be told from new
laid ones. The meat Of the egg was full

ECONOMY OF STATE GOVERNMENT.

The statement of this years state taxes,
given i'm our last issue. appears to have
been Inexperienced in part. The
amount, 1,103,53l 80. is about 100000
less than some newspapers have said was
to be raised this year, but it should be
stated that it covers a great deal more
than the running expenses of the state
under Gov. CrOswell'S administration
The item of $32.5O0 for n stone cornice
on the new capitol is Il deferred tax, left
over from the previous administration :;
the same is true of another item OF $50
600 in the new capitol appropriations.
There was also IA building deficit OF &c.
600 at the state public school. and de-
ferred expenditure of $4,000 for the
IOnia hOnSe of correction. which should
have been met from the state tax of last
year. Another item ebargeable to- last
year is the $500 deficit in the Centennial
exhibit, paid from the general fund of
this year Worse than all is the swindle
by which, as the direct result of the Mon
roe decision of the Supreme court, the
counties in arrears with their taxes take
from the state treasury the sum of $685.
rs u. This must ali come from taxa
ton of the present year. chiefly from
counties that do not shirk their taxes.
Deducting these six items, S4S0.3lS u
in all. none of them being in any sense
chargeable to operations of the present
administration. there remains the sum of
$7232l3 90; this covers the entire eX
pense of running the government and
institutions of Michigan so far rs de-
Ponds on general taxation. This is one
and one seventh mills OH the dollar on
the entire valuation. Some of our COM
munities have taxed themselves as high
as six per cent. on their valuation, 80
times az much as the tax for the current
expenses of the state this year. As
burden the latter is almost inappreciable,
and if communities managed their local
affairs with the same economy practiced
i'm the state government. they would be

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1877.
A COUNTY FAIR.

The TRIBUNE has, on several different
occasions, through its columns, urged
upon our citizens the importance OF or
ganizing an agricultural society. We
believe that it would be paying society
and do much for our county. 1t might
not be that any immediate pecuniary re-
turn would be had from such
an organization, but we believe
that the future benefits to
be derived from it would be incalculable,
and that it would do more to promote
the agricultural interests of the county
than any other measure that could be
adopted. 1t seems TO us that now is a
favorable time for some action to be
taken looking to the forming of such an
organization. In former article on the
subject, We suggested the propriety of
making an effort To secure the use of the
grounds belonging 10 the Horse jassocia-
ton, believing that it would be to the
mutual benefit of both societiesto join
in the improving of the grounds. We
are glad to see that the project of holding
n county fair is favored by those inter-
ested in the Horse association, and hope
that our citizens will take hold of the
matter at once and see if something can
not be done towards effecting tn e organ
iZation of an agricultural society at as
eaIly day as possible, so that every ar
rangement could be perfected and a
county fair held this fall, where the pro-
ducts of the farms of our county could
be exhibited, and all see what ChebOy
gan county is capable of producing. We
are of the opinion that even our own
citizens would be surprised at the result
We are confident that these yearly eX-
hibits would do more to foster
and encourage the agricultur-
al interests of the county,
aud, in fact, of this whole northern Sec
ton, and de'more to encourage the SET
Element of this section and developing its
resources, than any other plan that could
be adopted but 10 make it sIccess

citizens. 1t will not do to have portion

about it ''never going to amount to any

their power. Such a society can certain

by all means have the organization.

DEMOCRATIC Performers" generally in
terpret the constitution according to
their political interests. For example,
Gov. Robinson, of New York, vetoes an
appropriation of $1,000 for the benefit of
agriculture In that state, although the
constitution requires the Legislature to
encourage agriculture; but on the other
hand he approves an appropriation OF
$4,000 for Roman Catholic protectory
for children. although the constitution
forbids appropriations for sectarian in
situations. Votes are TO be made by
ctrrying favor among the Catholics,
while there is not much danger of losing
them among the intelligent farmers, fol
the great bulk of that class vote against
the Governors party anyway.

A WASHINGTON correspondent of the
New York Graphic claims to have dis
covered the reason why the extra session
of Congress was deferred. and says it
was owing to the tact that the adminstra-
ton had learned that the great and des-
perate army OF office seekers in the Re-
publican no less than in the Democratic
party, had organized n vast conspiracy,
having tor its object the inauguration of
Samuel j. I'ilden, and so giving us two
cOntesting Presidents of the United
States The design was to introduce a
resolution into Congress as soon as it met,
which would in effect declare that as Sam
uel j. Tilden had the undoubted major
ity of the popular vote. and, as the rec
ords how. majority of the electoral
vote, he is, in the opinion of Congress,
the honest President elect, and that he be
invited to take his place in the White
House. 1t was expected the party ma
chinery would be used i'm the caucuses of
both the Senate and House to force the
Democratic majority to indorse these res
olutons, and it was believed thai there
were sufficient number of angry Re-
publican Senators especia lily, those known
as carpet-baggers, reinforced by the dis
contented oflice-seekers of both parties.
to give the resolutions small but de-
cided majority in both Houses of Con-
gress. The person expected to push this
matter i'm Congress was none other than
David Dudley Field, and this is the Sc
cret of the great anxiety of Mr.. Tilden's
especial friends to have a Democratic
Congressman resign so that Mr.. Field
could be chosen..a representative in his
place.

AN Indiana court has decided that the
Utah divorces are not legal. In the trial
of the case in which the decision was rem
dered, the court instructed the jury that
the law courts of Utah had no jurisdic-
ton in cases of this kind over residents
of other states, and the divorce is not le-
al. A verdict was rendered accordingly.
This decision will upset q large number
of supposed divorces throughout the
country. and will probably break up this
