packed in barrels or brick watts, and
kept covered with the lime. Or they
may be preserved equally well for do
nestle use by smearing them, when
perfectly fresh, with inseed-oil. so as
to cover the shell with complete film.

into the soup when done, with sufficient
salt and pepper, and serve Immediately.
The yelk of an egg well beaten, thor
oughly mixed with twice its bulk of the

The best method of applying liquid
manure is to spread it from large cask
or tank mounted upon wheels. 1t can
only be conveniently spread upon grass
or young crops. and it is hardly proba-
BILE that it can be done economically. |
The better way would be to absorb the
LIQUIDS of the manure by the addition |
of litter of some porous kind. and if |
nothing better can be procured, earth
or sand may be used. This can be
spread with less trouble than liquid
manure. and unless it is required
for garden or market crops. young
corn or grass, or similar purposes. the
dry manure will be most convenient.
At present it will not pay to use such
laborious methods with common farm
crops, because the ordinary methods
can be applied as effectively and more
cheaply.
