Twas to pay him noehtns. consented and he ap-
pied it nearly every day for five week D. when tlis
Ssease entirely disappeared. livery cheerfuny paid
m the amount agreed upon, and then asked him
what this remedy was, and he replied that it was no
other than CUTICURA.
Since that time have had no trouble from this

THE POULTRY YARD.
PRESERVING EGGS FOR WINTER.

Put the eggs into large pail and pour
boiling hot water oyer them, then put a
cover over them and count sixty very slow
". Take them out, wipe dry with a thin
towel, and pack with little end down in
buckwheat-hulls, oats or bran. Put in a
place where neither frost nor damp can
touch them, and they will keep for months.
The boiling water shuts up the pores OF the
eggshells, and keeps them fresh, while it
does not cook them. Another way is to
rub each egg over with linseed oil, put on
with cloth. Lay them on q table to dry
and then pack away tightly. Lime-water
and salt will aso keep eggs, but they are
not so well kept as by these other methods,
as they absorb the salt, and the white loses
its freshness and will not beat to a froth or
give lightness to cake. Poultry World.

OFFICIAL reports Of the areas sown to
wheat and of the crops have been received
by the State Commissioner of Statistics from
forty-two counties, covering about two
thirds of the titled areas Of Minnesota The
reports from these torty-two counties, COM
prising two-thirds of the wheat acreage and
fairly representative of the wheat area in
different portions of the state, show an in
crease OF wheat breadth of 211 ,S76 acres,
which ratio OF increase applied to the total
area will make an additional wheat area OF
about 436,Oo0 acres, and a grartftotal OF
2,S00,000 acres, which, at an average OF Ill
teen bushels for southern Minnesota, being
two-thirds of the wheat area and seventeen
for northern Minnesota, will give an aggre-
gate of 43, 1866, 900 bushels. If the average
for the whole state be estimated at sixteen
bushels, the result is 4i,S0C 900, If the es-
tablished annual average of seventeen bush
els be justified, the result is 47,600,O00 bush
els. Even making due allowance for the
probable light yield in some Of the south
ern counties, from local and other causes,
the Pionee7-Press, in estimating on the sub
ject, thinks it is certainly safe to assume for
the whole state an average Of fifteen BUSH
els per acre, which will give us total pro-
duct OF 42 900 900 bushels, and this estimate
may be fairly taken.-Anae,5caa Miller.

ANCIENT WHEAT.

The discovery Of a quantity Of wheat in
an excavation under the site of the s'Old
Baptist church, on the East Side has eXcit-
ed a good deal Of interest among tle old
settlers. A good many people have visited
the place. and numerous sample packages
of the moldy grain are being handed around
as curiosities. The wheat was found about
foot and half beneath the surface, in a
shallow trench OF the following dimensions,
SO far as developed this morning: Two feet
deep, ten feet wide and eighteen feet long,
estimated to contain between $50 or 200
bushels. 1t is remembered by the old set
tiers that in 1858 there was a gang Of sneak
thieves in and around St. Anthony. headed
by man named Shea. This gang was
broken up by sheriff Lippincott and driven
out Of the state. It is supposed that the
wheat in question was stolen and secreted
by this gang just before they were broken
up and driven off, hence they never got q
chance to dispose of it. 1t is quite likely
that it was stolen in small quantities at di f.
ferent times, from Capt. Rollins, who was
shipping wheat here at that time. It is al
so rendered that in 1853 Capt. Rollins safe
was broken open and $500 in money taken.
Twenty sacks of flour stolen from him at
the time were found soon after buried di-
rectly opposite the location of the present
discovery. Minneapolis tribune.
