To preserve EGes.-To keep
eggs, take of good salt half a pint,
of unslacked lime a piece the size
of q teacup. Put both in stone
jar. Pour into the jar two gallons
of boiling water. Let il stand un-
til perfectly cold, then put in your
eggs. Be sure that your eggs are
all good. Care must be taken not to
crack any of them in putting them
in or they will spoil immediately
The eggs must be entirely covered
with the brine and kept in cool
place. Be careful not to have too
much salt or the yolks may harden.

SIDE HILL FENcEs.-One fact
connected with the building OF fen
ces on side hills is commonly over
looked: the surface is not q fixed
fact. Like a glacier, the soil is IN
motion imperceptibly, but surely
the particles of earth composing
the surface move each upon the
other. The result is seen in the
position assumed by a majority Of
such fences. However plumb they
may have been at first, they soon
begin to incline with the hill, and
before long present a disagreeable
tumble-down appearance. Much
Of the difficulty may be avoided by
proper care. If, instead of sitting
the posts absolutely plumb, they
are given a slight inclination to-
ward the ascending side, the move
ment of the surface will have far
less hold upon them, and will really
tend to bring them to the vertical
position, and keep them there much
longer. An angle. say of one de
gree from the absolute vertical line,
will be enough, and will not be Of.
fensive to the eye. The reason for
the greater stability of this position
is found il the fact that in the shift
ing over Of the post as thus set, the
rotary motion of the body OF 1t,
over the foot, compels slight rise
of the upper part, which the adhe-
sion of the earth, when closely ram
med down, as constantly resists.

An EvcFr1EST ART1cLE-A French

An EXCELLENT ART1cLE-A French
journal states that chloride Of lime
scattered about where rats and
mice frequent will cause them to
desert the spot. A solution of it
brushed over plants will efectually
protect them from insects. If scat
tered over ground infested with
grubs it will free it from them en-
tirely. Bunches Of cotton or tow
smeared with a mixture Of chloride
of lime and hogs lard, and tied
about in different parts of a tree,
will guard it against the attacks Of
insects, slugs, grubs, etc., and drive
away those already in possession.

SEED PorAToEs.-The Committee
of the International Potato Exhibi-
ton declares that the practice Of
planting a small refuse seed has
contributed in a most material de-
gree TO the deterioration of the po-
tato, not only in ireland, but
throughout Europe. Any seed tu-
Der Weighing less than one ounce
and half is unfit for planting, and
it is to be preferred that tubers
averaging two to four ounces should
be selected. Seed that has sprout-
ed but little, or not at all, is to be
preferred. to that which has made
much growth in store.

LIGHTNING RoDs.-Look to your
lightning rods; the thunderstorm
season is here. Insulated lightning
rods are a dangerous delusion; they
are the reverse of a protection.
So is every rod which does not run
up to every high point on the house,
not well connected with all large
masses of metal-roof ornaments,
water spouts, etc., and we'll sunk in
the ground. It ought to come in
contact with the damp earth bet
ter yet, with water.
The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1880-08-18


DURABLE WHTEwAsH.-Take a bar
rel and slack q bushel of fresh lime
in it, by covering the lime with boil
ing water. After it is Stacked add
cold water enough to bring it to
the consistency Of good whitewash,
then dissolve in water and add one
pound of white vitriol (sulphate of
zinc) and one quart of fine salt.
This makes a fine whitewash that
will stick as we'll as paint. It
owes it's durability chiefly to the
vitriol, which hardens and fixes the
wash.

4. NOVEL PRocRss.--A London
gardener planted a strawberry bed
four feet wide across his garden, on
one side of which potatoes were
planted. These were dug up about
the end Of June, the ground leveled
and raked smooth, so that the run
ners established themselves and
formed new bed. The next sea-
son similar process was pursued,
and thus movable strawberry bed
was created. At the end Of three
years the original plants were ex-
hausted and dug up, though the
bed annually grows wider, without
renewal or transplanting.

BANKRUPT LAW.
New York Chamber Of Commerce Takes

New York Chamber Of Commerce Takes
Exceptions to Judge Lowell's Bill.
New YORK, Dec. 2-At the regular meeting
OF the Chamber of Commerce :oday report OF
the special committee on ankruptcy laws was
submitted that Judge Lowels bill should not
be accepted by the country without important
amendments and additions. Neither should SO
valuable beginning be allowed to pass into
obscurity. The report was accompanied oy
resolution that national bankrupt act for the
dstributipl,Of 1nsOlvent estates and for the dis
couragernent of insolvency was only second in
1mportanceto to uniform measure of value or
the national banking law.
After a long discussion a resolution was
adopted In the following form:
Resolved, That the national bankrupt act
for the distribution of insOlvent estates aid for
the encouragement OF insolvency will promote
the general well-being by confirming conf
dence III business transactions and greatly in
crease Interstate trade.
Resolutions we're offered and referred to
committee declaring Congress should early
enact suitable legislation for the distribution
OF the Geneva award to persons entitled to ii,
deprecating delay in distributing the award
aud declaring this neglect to act regardless of
the causes that may have produced it was de-.
veioping widespread and well-founded senti-
ment that international arbitration was useless
and abortive il rewards resulting from it were
to be detained in the Treasury, whose authori-
ties used the national power aud influence to
secure 1t and collect / from a friendly power;
also that copy of the resolution be sent to the
Senate and furnished Senators and Congress-
men of this stale.
