Preserving Eggs.

Eggs, if carefully packed and put
in the cellar, may be taken out
when prices are higher, and will
pay good profit tor the trouble of
packing.
A number of methods are pro-
posed, but probably none are more
efectual than the two following
The tirst ID prscticed by many of
the farmers in the neighb0rhood of
the large cities, and the second
method in the Fanciers' Gazette,
England.
We premise the matter by saying
that the eggs must be fresh. 1t is
folly to expect an egg already stale
to keep well, and come out fresh and
sweet.
First method: Take butter fir
kin or any tight package, and place
a layer of fine salt over the bottom !;
into this set the eggs, large end
down, as closely as possible, with
out touching each other; fl with
salt until the layer is covered, and
then proceed as before. Care must
be taken that the salt is dry, and
that it be kept SO, else it will cake
and make it very troublesome to
get the eggs out without breaking.
SECOND method: Take a vessel
of any kind, 90 long as it is tight
The bottom should be covered 9th
lime wet to consistency
that will allow anything put into it
to stand upright. The bottom Iay-
ers of lime viii be two inches thick.
The eggs are stuck into this small
end downwards, close together, but
not touching. When the bottom is
full, then a fresh mixture of Stacked
lime is poured in till thick enough
or the eggs to stand up in it, and
so on till the pan is fpll. The eggs
should be perfectly sound in the |
shell, not cracked or In any way in
ured, and they must not touch each |
othef.
Eggs packed in either of the
above ways will keep for twelve
months or longer, and will be near
y as good as fresh for all culinary
purposes.

1t is said that plums, pigs and
poultry flourish well together. If
plums are planted in ground occu-
pied by pigs and chickens good
crops nearly always result The
pigs continually disturbing the soil,
and thus prevent the growth of
weeds, hinder the curculios from
secre.ing themselves at night.

1t is gratifying to know thai
thous ands of dollars have beer
saved to the farmers of the state
this year in the single article Of
clover seed. The crop gathered the
past eeasop for hay was the lar
gest ever harvested in the states and
we are safe in saying more seed
were saved than for any two years
previous.
But in counting the profits de.
rived from our hay and seed, we
only estimate half the value of the
clover crop, for on every acre OF
clover land the farmer has, he can
certainly calculate that he has made
a deposit of 10 per cent. of it's
value, that will be paid him in cash
by an increased crop next year, as
surely as it had been gold and de-
posted IN a National bank; one OF
the best evidences of prosperity
amongst our farners, is the in
creased acreage that IS eve y year
being sowed down TO clover. 1t is
difficult TO see really how any farm
er can refuse to make use of this
crop; it is the cheapest of all RENE
dial agents for that most dircful of
all diseases to farmer, soil power
ty, which is next akin to soul pow
erty. 1t is at once the most nutri-
tious forage, and efficient fertilizer
and subsoiler; it attracts the am
monia from the atmosphere and
changes the carbon and oxygen in
to matter which, when they have
completed the growth of this plant,
are deposited in the sill to be used
in feeding other crops and making
marketable products; the roots are
quiet little workers that go deep
down in the soil. seize upon every
ingredient that can be seryiceable
in the growth of the plant, brings
it to the surface, enriching what
has been worn out, at the same
time making the soil loose and mel
low, so that the shallow roots of less
vigorous plants can penetrate it. As
\ farW crop it pays three-fold--first
as hay, second in seed, and third,
the most profitable of all, as fer
tilizer. As a grazing crop, while in
its prime and its luxuriant growth
shows that it is especially adapted
to our soil and climate.-@Spirir of
the Farm.

Talking about the annoyances one
has to sometimes put up with be-
cause the i'll nature or incompetence
of the hired help on the farm,an old
farmer, who knew what he was
talking about and who was a good
Judge of character, once said he
would not have hired man on his
farm who did not habitually
whistle. He always hired whistlers
said he never knew a whistling
laborer to find fault With his food,
his bed, or complain of any little
extra work he was asked to perform.
Such a man was kind to children
and animals in his care. He would
whistle chilled lamb into warmth
and life, and bring in his hat full of
eggs from the barn without break
ing one of them. He found ouch a
man careful about closing gates,
putting up bars, and seeing that the
nuts on the pillow were properly
frightened before he took it into the
field. He never knew a whistling
hired man to beat or kick COW, or
to run a COW into the stable. He
had noticed that the sheep he fed
in the : ard or shed gathered around
him as be whistled, without fear.
He never had hired 8 whistler who
was not thoughtful and economical.

Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood estimates
that in order to make reasonably
sure the defeat of Ell Mahdi, an eK

have ample means of boring wells

everything is going on quietly and harmon

Bowdoin. In regard. to the change one OF the
professors says that the old system had its
good points and its bad points as we'll the latter
in excess. But all things grow old and wear
out The old system accomplished its purpose
in its day, but the time is ripe now for a better
system. In adopting this new plan of putting
the government of the college to a certain ex-
tent into the hands of the students, a step in
advance has doubtless been taken. Among
the students generally the change is regarded
with great favor. 1t has diminished the habit
OF Cutting" recitation. And sickness" as an
excuse has greatly fallen off in consequence.
