''The new rates do not satisfy either tho ship

that they arc too high, especially from Chicago,
where the lake competition has to be met. Al
these rates most Of the bua!ness will 70 by lake,
nnd the railroads will get very 'itt'e. 1t ii
probable that tie managers think IL is better
policy to get little business at paying rates than
a large amount At losing ones. This would bo
PENNSYLVANIA and the Noy York Central l,ave
which they aro compelled to give
certain amount Of business. And I'M:
less they make such rates as will
intluce shippers to forward at those rates, they
cannot comply with The agreement, and tho re-
suit will, be al 1t has been heretofore, they will
e'vo special rates to large shippers, and whou
this Ia found out there will he another break

We desire particularly to recommend to
farmers the use of more milk and eggs in
their families. There is no food so economi-
cal and at the same time so healthful and
nutritious as milk. 1t is both meat and drink.
1t contains every element essential for the de
velopment of the animal system. The pro-
portions of these elements also are Just right.
There is nitrogen to form muscles, oil for lu-
IRRIGATION and generating heat and saline mat
ter for forming bones. Fortunate are those
children that are brought up on milk diet.
They are unconscious of having stomachs,
their muscles are well developed, their skins
are smooth and their cheeks rosy. 1t is a
great mistake to suppose that a milk diet is
suitable only for children. Milk is just as
well adapted for men MS boys. One of the
best developed men, both physically and
mentally, Massachusetts, ever produced, DIR.
Griffin, once pastor of Park street church,
Boston, and afterwards president of Williams
college, loved milk when boy and continued
to love it all through life, preferring break
fast of bread and milk to anything else. Few
men ever filled Park street pulpit with a lar
ger physique or more mental power Milk
is emphatically mans food. In every thirty
gallons of it there is pound of phosphate of
lime. Why it is not more used in farmers
families we do not know unless it is so cheap
lightly appreciated Eggs are another arti-
Gle of cheap and nutritious food which we
do not find on farmers tables in the quantity
which economy demands. They are very
convenient to take to the store and exchange
for sugar, spices, etc, and this is the DISPOSE
ton which too many farmers make of them.
They probably do not fully comprehend how
valuable eggs are as food that like milk, an
egg is a complete food in itself containing
everything necessary for the development OF
n perfect animal, as is manifest from the fact
that a chick is formed from it. II seems a
mystery how muscles, bones, feathers and
everything that II chick requires for its per
feet development, are made from the yolk
and white of an egg; but such is the fact
and it shows how complete food an egg is
1t is also easily digested. if not damaged in
cooking. A raw or soft-bOiled egg is almost
as easily assimilated as is milk, and can be
eaten with IMMUNITY by children and inyaids
The average egg weighs a thousand grains
and is worth more as food than so much beef
steak Indeed, there is no more concentrated
and nourishing food than eggs. The albu
men, oil, and saline matter are, as in milk. il
/ the right proportion for sustaining ANNA
life. When eggs bring no more than twenty
cents per dozen, it is much better economy
to find market for them in the family than
at the store. Two or three boiled eggs, with
the addition of a slice or two of toast, vii
make n breakfast sufficient for a man ant
good enough for king.-Mass. Pl0UghmGR

The Lima bean is one of our most popular
vegetables but for one reason or another
many people have trouble in getting them to
do well, and some people in getting them at
all. This bean loves heat, dislkes cold mois-
ture, and delights in loose rich soil Those
who wish to succeed have to be careful that
all these conditions are fully insured. In or
der to guard against damp the earth is drawn
into hills, so that any superintendent mois-
ture can pass rapidly away. If the soil be
heavy alarge portion ofroad-sand is mixed with
the soil in these hills, and if one can have ac-
cess to a cow-yard, well decompOsed manure
from such locality is the perfection of food
to the Lima bean. Then in planting, they
ought to be set but Just beneath the surface,
or they will be very liable to rot in pushing
their way through. 1t does no harm either to
push them in the dirt edgewise, as the sprout-
ing germ comes up all the sooner therefor
But with even all those precautions for dry
ness, food and warmth, people often plant
too soon a cold rain follows and the seed
rots A first-rate truck gardener tells us that
he never sets his beans until the warmth in
the hills rises to 60 degrees, as he tests it by
thermometer, and he has a tolorable GER
tanty that it will continue at least this. In
this way he avoids re-planting as so many Of
his ueighbors do who plant on the hap hazard
system. Four sound-looking beans are set to
each hill, and if all grow and do well, one is
taken out He regards three plants as fully
enough to remain. GeymantOarR Telegraph

THE EVAPORATION" OF FRUITS AND VEGET-
ABLEs-The preservation of apples, potatoes
and the like by evaporating their juices rap
idly, is becoming an important industry in
Ohio and Michigan. A correspondent of a
Detroit paper describes the operation of a
factory in Lenawee county, having capaci-
ty of 400 bushels day. The apples are par
ed, cored and sliced at once by hand machin-
cry. The slices are then spread on galvanized
screens and placed in the evaporator, a cham
Der running from the top of a large furnace
in the basement upward, out through the roof
of a three story building. The current of
heated air is kept as near as possible TO 240'.
The screens of fruit rest on endless chains
that move upward at intervals of three to five
minutes, when fresh screen is put in below
and one is taken of at the third-story COM
pleted. The dried or evapOrated produce is
then packed in pasteboard boxes holding
from one to five pounds and these in turn
are packed in cases of 200 pounds each. A
bushel of apples makes about five pounds of
the dried fruit and the process of evapora-
ton is so rapid that the fruit loses none of
its freshness and flavor. In some of the fac
tories the cores and peelings are converted
into vinegar in others into apple Jelly, out
of which every variety of fruit Jelly is made
by the addition of flavoring extracts. Sweet
