ST. LOUIS, May i.-The reason of the cor .

Indian Territory, to St. Louis, than has

fore has been the chief shipping
points for Texas cattle. The Atohison, To-
peka 4 Santa Fe rate has been $75 per car
Tue ST, Louis n San Francisco proposed to
make their rate s65, This difference was
exhaustively argued throughout the meet.
ing, when General Manager Rogers, of the
st. Louis Il San Francisco, In n spirit of
compromise, agreed to make his rate S67. so.
This was not satisfactory, however, to
the other roads, and as Rogers would make
no other terms the meeting adjourned
Captain ROGERS justiies his action on the
ground that his road has over a hundred
miles shorter haul than Atchison, Topeka
Santa Fe; that Redtork shortens the cat.
tie drive about 100 miles, and that he is
drumming up new business for his road
and must offer some inducement to shin.

cattle rates remains to be seen.

Preserving Eggs for Cooking.

In late summer and early autumn,
when fresh eggs are plentiful, gather
the requisite number for family use, and
place them on either end-the large end
is always preferable. There are many
methods of preserving eggs is state Of
comparative freshness, and there is lit
tie need of doing without this desirable
diet. II one does not raise the eggs, they
can be purchased reasonably in May or
June, and packed down or preserved.
BE sure that the eggs are fresh laid, and
have not been sat upon, even twenty
four hours. Many times, if eggs are
left in the nests, and 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 reason
ably long enough ordinarily by dipping
them into warm tallow, and after they
are cool, packing close in sawdust, and
covering them with the sawdust, max
ing the package as nearly air tight as
possible, and placing it in a dry, cool
place, being careful to remove before
cold weather sets in. The tallow should
be the hardest that can be had. The
eggs may be dipped in strong gum
water and dried, and then packed in the
same manner. The object is to exclude
the air. They will keep quite a length
OF time if dipped into boiling water.
This kills the germ and coats the inner
shell, closing the pores. Eggs will keep
comparatively fresh if packed down in
dry salt late in the season. This is suf-
iicient for all culinary purposes for the
winter. Although for boiling or for
omeets there is nothing like fresh laid
egg, the preserved one answers well for
every other purpose. | have often
heard a city lady say that she never
could make good custards or cake with
fresh laid country eggs, so accustom-
ed was she to the preserved or stale
article.
Where fowls are kept, there need
never be any lack of fresh eggs at any
time Of the year. But there are many
city people who value fresh eggs and
cannot have them in the winter when
VIC iVNdit i'ilcc -otn b'N puu IItIl lcNCll,
but might purchase fresh ones in sum-
mer, and by packing down at home,
have better article than can be pur-
chased in the winter season. For lin
ing eggs, pickle is made of pure stone
lime, fine, clean salt, and pure water, in
the following proportions: Six to eight
quarts OF salt sixty to siXty-fye gallons
of water, and one bushel of lime. The
stronger the lime water, and the more
free from sediment, the better. Stake
the lime with portion of the water;
then add the remainder of the water
and the salt. Stir well three or four
times AT intervals, and then let it stand
until well settled and cold. Either dip
or draw off the clearpickle into the cask
or vat intended To preserve the eggs.
This is on large scale, but may be
proportioned according to judgment for
family use Co'ntry Gentleman.
