Dedicated Eggs.

The business of desiccating eggs as a mer-
camille commodity, though yet in its infancy,
has lately assumed extensive proportions.
One establishment, 'sthe American Egg Com
pany," of Keokuk, Iowa, desiccates daily
5000 dozen OF eggs. This is the third year of
the company's successful progress in the
manufacture and sale of the desiccated ar
ticle, and the product of its labors is already
largely appreciated by bakers, confe;tioners,
hotels, on ship board, in mining regions, in
the army, navy, &c. Sales and shipments
have already been made to Europe, South
America, West Indies, &c. The demand is
said to be on the increase, and is now quite
equal to the supply. The process of desiccat-
ing eggs, as adopted by the American Egg
Company is as follows:
1.-The eggs, after careful Gambling, are
broken and cleared of their shells BY ma.
chinery and delivered in the form of batter,
the whites and yoks thoroughly combined.
This batter is then discharged by peculiar
arrangement, upon rapidly revolving metal
lie cylinders, under strong blast OF heated
air. These cylinders are automatically self
cooling, remaining at a temperature of zoe
Fahrenheit, and so maintaining at that point
all the egg dried upon them, in spite of the
greater heat of the blast. The dried egg is
scraped from the cylinders in graduated
form, very much resembling coarse ccrn
meal, and is subjected to subsequent curing
process which lasts about thirty days. The
desiccated egg rapidly dissolves and returns
to its former condition of batter when the
requisite proportion of water is added, and
thus, if beaten the same as shell eggs it gives
the same results in cooking. AS five hum
dred dozen of desiccated eggs are packed in
single barrel, the saving in transportation is
enormous, and the other savings, from loss
by breakage, decay, &C., can be more easily
imagined than estimated.-Taf, Field and
Farm,

Green food is essential to the well being of
poultry at all seasons of the year. When
fowls are limited to confined quarters, this
must be supplied to them artifcally, to keep
them in good health.
In winter time we can give them cabbage
or chopped turnips and onions from time to
time; short, late dried hay Tor rowen) is very
good for change; corn stalks, chopped fine,
they will eat with relish.
In early spring-time, when the ground first
soitens from the frost, pasture sods thrown
into their pen will be ravenously eaten by
them; and as soon as the new grass starts
unless they can have free access to the field
or lawn they should be supplied with this
excellent succulent daily. For the young
chickens, nothing is SO beneficial and so
grateful. as run upon the newly moved
grass; and next to this indulgence they
should have an ample supply of cut or pull
ed grass every day.
1t should never be forgotten, that one of
the most important things to be observed to-
wards keeping our fowls in good heart, is the
regular supply we should furnish them of
green food.

Remedies for Choked, Cattle.

A Quaker has remedy for choked cattle.
which has never failed when tried. 1t is a
teacupful of soft soap, dissolved in pint. or
little more OF warm water, and poured
down the throat of the choked animal. AS
soon as administered the apple or potato is
thrown up instantly upon passing the hand
up and along the throat. He allows his cat
tie to eat apples and potatoes without cut
ting, being positive that.if one should choke
he could relieve the animal. A correspon.
dent says that cattle may be relieved when
choked by being made to jump over bars left
as high as the animal can be made to jump.
j.. b: Jones says that good way is TO make
ball of tobacco. and put it in the animals
mouth as far back as possible, which will
cause vomiting and speedy relief. Now as
the first is a dangerous method. and the
second may not be handy, the best thing
ever saw (and never knew it to fail,l is to
take round stick as large as can be put in
to the mouth. 1t can be fastened by strings
tied to the horns. Turn the animal loose,
and it will soon throw the article out, and it
will not make it sick like tobacco. 1 have
seen it tried great many times in this Sec
ton.

Washing Milk Dishes.

/ was somewhat. exercised in mind by d.
rections lately read in farmers paper for
washing dishes. The writer bids us wash
our milk-pans, etc., first with boiling suds,
then rinse them in boiling water, and then
wipe them with damp cloth. She says she
cannot tell the reason, but she finds that if
tin things are wiped with a perfectly dry
cloth there is sickness left behind which
soon becoms sourness. I think I can tell
her the reason. 1t is because the cheesy
part of the milk has been scalded on the tin.
and is only taken of land but partially then
l am afraid) by the cold damp wiping cloth.
I think that most good housekeepers prefer
to wash the milk-pans first in water below
scalding heat. 1t is very common in good
diaries to wash them first in cold water
(Which does not remove the cream, then in
hot suds (which does,) then in clear hot
water rinse, wiping or setting them in the
hot sun. Since reading the article referred
to have never found that the cleanest and
driest of wiping-cloths left any sickness be-
hind; but never wash dishes in scaldinq
water. see people pile their dirty dishes
into the dishpan and pour boiling water over
them, and feel sure there will be some
sickness left behind. Warm water, but be-
low the scalding heat is best, unless your
dishes are soiled principally by fat and butter.
Everything but grease scalds on instead of
off.-Agricuiturol

Farewell IN The Ruas.

We are told by farmers living in several
different counties THAT during the
past week the potato bugs have almost en-
tirely disappeared from their vines and bur-
rowed in the ground. We hope this IS gen.
orally true, and that for this season at least
we have seen the last of this most trouble
some pest. He has appeared in nearly every
town In the State, but has not as a rule been
very destructive. For some reason the bugs
have not here grown to more than half the
size which they attained in their palmy days
in the West, and though it has taken great
deal of work to do it they have been disposed
OF before they have become very destructive.
The rnst is damaging some potatoes just now
now, but we are sure of one of the largest
crops ever raised in the State. Even now
the best of Early Rose can be bought in
the up-country towns for fly cents bush

To grow verbenas well it requires a good
bed in the right place. But it should he
where there is plenty of sunshine, as they
will not succeed in the shade. Any good,
sufficiently deep, rich and friable soil will
grow them. A lawn too is a fine place for
them. Cut out round bed, or any other
shape desirable, on lawn or grass-plat; in
vert the sods and place them in the bottom
of the bed put six or eight inches of good
soil on the surface; set good plant of double
zlnnia or geraninm in the centre. Buy or
beg dozen or more of good strong, growing
plants, not high-spindling affairs particular
ly if you have to buy them); set them so
that the bottom of the verbena will be six
inches deep.
If the plant is branching as it should be,
bend off the branches in slanting position,
and fill the centre with soil nearly to the sur
face: water freely to settle the soil around
the roots; and then fill up the space With dry
soil to prevent baking. Peg down the plants
as they spread, and keep the soil well Guilt
waited, and of course free from weeds. You
will then have fine bed of verbenas.
LII you should want 10 grow seedlings, get
good plants to begin with. The best YER
benas produce the best seed, especially the
scented and red colors, just as the best peach
es do, but you can entirely rely on either.
The probability is you will be satisfied with
without troubling yourself about your own
seedlings. This is more the province OF the
professional Tourist.
When you tire of your verbenas or they
should perish, or grow too rusty and black
you can spade them in and this process will
enrich the soil sufficiently, especially if done
yearly. The plants that have blue, purple.
and white colors have the most seed and the
flowers of most of them are sweet scented.
A few years past fragrant verbena was a
novelty. We have now quite a variety of
them. Gather your seed early in the morn.
ing when the deu is on, or after a shower.
Do not use heating manure, as it will make
the plants rusty black.
The bright and showey flowers of the YER
bena, makes it the most popular bedding
plant in cultivation. We here give The
names OF a few of the best: Verbena nv
