KEEPING EGGS.

A writer IN an exchange gives the follow
ing methods Of preserving eggs. whicl
might be worth trial By experimentin,
when eggs are worth fifteen and twent,
cents dozen, the loss will not he much i
the plans fail The writer says:
! Take fresh eggs when they are plent,
ana cheap, and coat them with lard or oil he,
clean grease. Iplefer lard. put a umr

(not boiI) it; then with small rag grease

or cut straw will answer. prefer bran |
have Kept eggs twelve months as good as
when put away. and have no doubt they
can be kept any length OF time. .t'++r7a ia@
Another PLAN Use the patent stopper
glass jar. with vulcanized India rubber
joints to make it perfectly tight, like the
Jars for preserving fruit. AS soon as the
eggs are collected put the Jars into hot wa
teirr, and when thoroughly warm. SO as to
rarity 1r The air. put the eggs into the jar the
pointed ends upward, and pack them with
paper or something to prevent them break

and the jar is tight. the eggs will keep Tor
many months and be as good for the break
fast table as the day they were laid. 1t is
said they will be fiji for Matching, also. a
year after so packed, btlt we cannot saw from
experience.
Another is the common lining process. A
tight barrel is half filled with cold water
into which is stirred slaked lime and salt in
me proportion of about one-half pound
each Tor every pail or bucket of water. Some
dealers use no salt, and others add q small
quantity OF hitre. one-quarter pound to the
half barrel of pickle. Into this the epos

WARM WATER FOR FOWLS,

Many farmers would not think OF denriy
ing their fowls of drink during the warm
weather, make no effort TO snpnlv then,
with water in the winter. They seem to
think that the fowls can get along somehow
without drink. Probably they can "set
along without good many things that
the successful ponltry-raiser supplies, but
the fowls that get along somehow" are
not the ones that pay dividends. -z.
How to secure a constant supply of un-
frozen water in the fowl house during the
winter montlls, is problem that vexes the
mind of tile poultry raiser who is not for
tunate enough to own 4 hennery SO con-
structed that the mercury never gets below
the freezing point inside. One wav to set
tie the matter is to let the fowls do without
drink, but as have already hiuted, that is
