PRESERVING EGGS FOR COOKING,

In late summer and early autum when
fresh eggs are plenti ul, gather the requisite

ing eggs in state OF comparative freshness,
ald there is little need of doing without this
desirable diet. Ii one does not raise the

May or June ana packed down or preserved
Be sure that the eggs are fresh laid and have
not been set upon. even ior twenty-four

ia the nest and the hen suddenly takes a
notion to sit, one day and night, will spoil
the keeping qualities of the eggs.
Eggs may be kept in good order for six
months (and that period is reasonably long

them with the sawdust, making the package

The eggs may be dipped in strong gum wa

They will keep quite a length of time if

germ and coats the inner shell, closing the
pores. Eggs Will keep comparatively fresh

poses for The winter. although for boiling or

A FAMOUS WHEAT.

Sandomir wheat is variety of Irltlcurn
OF Poland, but which has been well known
in the ports OF the Baltic and the German
seas tor many years. Where it is known it
is looked upon, for its perfection almost of
qualities. as the ideal wheat. Throughout
the Continent and England every effort has
been made TO accimate and reproduce it,
but it rapidly GegeneraEeS, losing the grand
qualities for which the home product IS
distib luished, and all these efforts, accom-
panied with carefal analysis OF the soils,
seed, have so far tailed. Twenty years ago
our agricultural bureau took special pains
TO obtain information from Polish scientific
aericuturists, with specimens OF grain tor
cultivation in the United States, where the
great varieties of virgin soil, admirably
adapted to wheat cutare, would, it was
supposed, offer the required favorable con.
ditions, but so far as we know America as
vet produces no such wheat.
The true Sadomir wheat resembles the
prolific Spalding's variety, the latter, how
ever. being twice as long and twice as thick,
and its straw longer and harder; it closely
resembles the best Hungarian wheat. There
are two varieties-with beard and spines
and withoat them, both being winter and
snrino wheats. The variety without spines
is the one which is so much priced its ear
is small. quite regular, and of red color;

To REMOVE Spors FROM Woop-I

To REMOVE SPoTs FROM WooD.-It
often happens that the woodwork on
doors, particularly near the handles,
will become quite dirty and badly
stained by the frequent running back
and forth of careless children, and it
is sometimes found impossible to re-
move the marks with cold water or
without the use of soap. When this
is the case, throw two tablespoonful
of pulverized borax into pail of hot
water, and wash the paint with it.
Do not use brush but if found i'm
possible to remove the marks in this
way, then soap must be resorted to.
Rub the soap on the cloth, sprinkle
over it dry, powdered borax and
rub the spots faithfully, rinsing
with plenty of water. By washing
the woodwork in this way the paint
will not be injured, and the borax
will keep the hands soft and white.
Borax is not half as freely used in
domestic labor as it would be if all
its usefulness were better known.
It's help in increasing the cleansing
properties of soap, and at the same
time correcting its corrosive tenden-
cy, is one of its most valuable prop
erties.-Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher.

PRODUCTION OF SEX AT
WILL.

The results of the latest expert
ments concerning the controlling OF
sex ova, as the method of producing
male or female at the will of the
breeder, have proved exceedingly
interesting. Fourteen of these ex-
periments were made by close and
watchful observer, and these as well
as numerous others made by other
interested parties evidently prove
that the following theories are cor
rect: When first developed so as to
be viable, the ovium of viyiparous
domestic animal is male, and if vivi-
fed at this stage, the offspring is
male; and at some period in its pro-
gressive development, before its via
bility is lost, it becomes female, and
from conception at this stage the off
spring is female. This is in accord
ance with s'Adam was first formed
then Eve;'' and thus perhaps crea-
ton is the precursor and type of pro-
creation? At least we have many
hints of harmony between the two.
If this theory is true, when we wish
to breed a male, the female should
be mated at the earliest hour she will
bear population. If female off
spring is desired, mate as nearly as
practicable to the close of the cheat"
period.
A few of the most eminent Eng
| fish breeders have come to the con-
clusion that the following cardinal
points in the art of breeding have
been fairly established First, That
from the male parent is mainly de-
rived the external structure, confgu-
ration and outward characteristics
the locomotive peculiarities inclusive.
Second, From the female parent are
derived the internal structure, the
vital organs and much greater pro-
portion than from the male, the con-
stitution, temper and habits. Third
That the purer the race of the parent
the more certainty there is of trans
hitting its qualities to the offspring

HINTS FOR THE COOK.

TO prevent the juice of pies soak
ing into the under crust, beat the |
white of an egg and brush the crust
with it. To give rich brown to the
upper crust brush that with it also.
A good way to cook liver is to first
fry some thin slices of breakfast ba-
con, and then fry the liver in the
gravy, or you may broil the liver and
pour the gravy over it, serving it on
the same plates with the bacon.
A new way to make tea is, pour
into the teapot freshly-boiled water,
and Immediately throw in the tea to
float on top. The quantity of tea
used should be a good spoonful for
each person. Do not letit stand
more than five minutes.
Oyster pot-pie is made just like
any stew, except that you have some
nice light dough cut in small squares
and steamed for fifteen minutes.
Then, just as the oysters come to a
boil, drop the dough in. Serve very
hot. OF course the squares of dough
are not to be steamed over the stew,
but over a kettle of water.
An inexpensive and good dessert
is made of one quart of sweet milk,
two-thirds of cup of uncooked rice,
and little salt. Put this in tea or
coffee cups. and set them in steam
er over kettle of boiling water.
Let it cook till the rice is almost like
jelly. When cold, turn it out of the
cup. Serve with sugar and cream or
with pudding sauce.
An excellent and economical dish
for breakfast can be made from the
remains of yesterdays dinner. Cut
some cold roast beef in small pieces,
warm them with a little gravy, to
which add one cup of stewed toma-
toes. Another way to prepare cold
meat for breakfast is to cut it in thin
slices, lay it on wire grdiron and
heat over bed of Goals; put little
lump of butter Oh each slice and
sprinkle pepper and salt over it.
Send to the table with mashed potatoe
cakes, mullins and coffee.
OF all fish, trout are most easily
spoiled in cooking. They are only
eaten in perfection when thrown
from the brook into the frying-pan,
as their flavor is impaired by hand
ling or by being kept over night.
There are several ways of cooking
trout, but epicures prefer them fried
After removing the entrails do not
wash the fish, but wipe with a clean
