Quality Of Eggs.

A gentleman once demonstrated with
his market-woman on the high price of
her eggs, to which she replied: Eggs
is eggs now-a-days. would have YOU
know" meaning that they were scarce.
II am very glad to know it." said the
gentleman, for the last l bought of you
were chickens"
Eggs are eggs, whatever may be the
price, but there is q difference in the
quality even of fresh eggs. They are
all manufactured alike, but they are not
all made of the same material, and hence
the difference. tits a well-established
fact that the food of fowls affects the taste
of the egg as well as the taste of their
flesh. The flesh of water fowls that
live on fish has fishy flavor, and their
eggs partake of the same. So the odor
and flavor of onions may be detected in
the eggs of barn-yard fowls, and it does
not always require detective to per-
ceive it. All this might be inferred from
the slightest knowledge of animal physi-
ology. and it is proved by actual expert
ence.
The quality of eggs cannot be ascer.
tanned in the market, excepting as to
whether they are fresh~pr added; the
proof is the same as in the case of a pud-
ding-it is in the eating. But those who
keep fowls and have their eggs laid to
order may know beforehand what
is to be their quality. If you have
the right kind of fowls it de-
ponds largely on their food. Fowls
should be kept in clean, wholesome
place. They should have clean food to
eat and only clean water to drink. They
should not be allowed to live on the
dung hill, but should have plenty of good
and wholesome food. Corn and wheat
are good enough for staple diet. Buck
wheat will not furnish as rich eggs as
either of these. Fowls should have some
kind of green food. In summer they
gather it for themselves when they run
at large; in winter it should be provided
for them. Cabbage and other vegetables
should be laid up expressly for their use
in the winter season. In order to ensure
their laying freely they require some
kind of animal food. In summer they
gather it by catching grasshoppers and
various kinds of insects, but in winter
they have no such resource. Refuse
pieces of meat, liver, etc., may be OBJ |
tained at the butchers. and scraps OF |
meat from the table should be given
Them.
But whatever they feed on, care should |
be taken to have it Clearly. It is well |
worth the experiment to try different |
kinds of food. and then test the quality |
IT the eggs. Great satisfaction will be |
ound in the result Of good care and clean |
eeding.--M Y. Observer.

FARM AND rIREsIDE.

Potash Is necessary to successful
potato growing. The easiest and besi
way of supplying it is in the form OF
wood ashes. 1t is also contained in soft
coal ashes and well rotted stable manure.
"A New York farmer says he has
found by experience that an acre OF
Hubbard squashes willgo farther in fat
tening hogs than the corn raised ON the
same ground.
AT the recent meeting of the West.
ern New York horticultural Society at
Rochester, the reason for the failure of
the apple crop of 1882 was summarized
to be the bad weather in the spring, the
apple curculio, the drought of the pre-
vious year and the severe wind and
hailstorms which blighted the blossoms
in some sections. These would appear
to be sufficient reasons.
Deep drains are best because they
secure the slow percolation of the water,
giving the soil a chance to take up or
absorb the nutritive properties which in
the other case would go directly into the
drain and be lost. The drain first car
ries off the very cold water of the sub.
soil. and the warmer surplus moisture
from above taking its place, warns the
land and hence offers large area for
the roots of the crops to amplify and
thus gather up greater stores of plant

A Mouthful Of Money.

Eighteenth-ward politician, had funny
experience with q pet monkey yester-
day. He tells the story as follows.
''Along with two friends / went into 4

for three beers and placed Nequarter on
the counter. A monkey was scratching
his ears at the end of the bar and blink
ing his eyes at the boss NV friend

Self-Care in Nursing the Sick.

To those who are called upon to nurse
the sick through a long and severe ILL
ness 1t is of the utmost Importance, not
only to themselves, but to their patients,
that their own health should be preserv-
ed and their own strength maintained,
not only throughout the critical stage,
but during the period of convalescence,
oftentimes 50 tediously prolonged. To all
such we submit the following simple pre-
cautions to aid them in preserving their
own health while nursing the sick: If
the malady of the patient be such as to
cause any marked odor of the breath or
noticeable exhalations from the skin,
take care always to sit on that side of
the bed or sick person which is opposite
to or away from the direction which the
ef1uvium takes toward the windows or
draught of fireplace. Sit so that their
breath, etc., is carried away from you.
DO not sit too close to them. or take
their breath if you can avoid it. To
keep ones own strength in case of
prolonged care, and particularly If
obliged to sit up all night for many
nights in succession, great benefit viii
be derived from taking q warm bath
early in the morning. and putting on
fresh undergarments every second
morning; or if the disease be partic-
ularly infectious in its nature, it is best
to change the Undertaking every
morning. 1t will be found that the
warm bath, followed by brisk rubbing
OF the whole body with coarse Turkish
towel or flesh brush, will refresh the
wearied body almost as much as sleep.
At the same time keep up the appetite /,
and strength by small doses of quinine,
two to five grains three times day
and nourishing diet.-St. Paul Pioneer
Prees.
