A New Way to Pack Eggs.

A writer in the Farmers Journal. who
rarely has broken egg reported, gives
this as hi way of packing: "First, l
wrap each egg with piece of soft paper;
ordinary newspaper answers very well;
twist the ends of the paper close to the
egg, and pack with corn silks gathered
from power shelters that shell with the
shucks on; place in a layer on the bot
tom of the basket, and as I place the
eggs IN, one by one, press portion of
the silks between the eggs, SO that no
two touch each other, and round off the
basket at top in an oval shape, and sew
lightly over them piece of canvass;
making the top oval in shape will pre-
vent anything from lying on top. OF
course l always use baskets, as they are
easily handled, nothing can be placed
on top of them. and carriers are much
more apt to handle them gently, as box
is more likely to be chucked to its place
than gently setdown, and it is these sud-
den jars that interfere with the Matching
of eggs, as rule. OF course all persons
cannot get corn silks to pack with, and
the next best material is coarse wheat
bran, used in the same way, and answers
an excellent purpose"

To Make Lime Useful,

We can state in what situation lime
has been most useful, says the Iowa
Register. From its power to decom-
pose it has been found useful on poor
granite soils. From its caustic nature it
corrects injurious matter, such as sui
phate of iron in soil. Lime breaks up
and pulverizes stiff clays, improving their
texture. 1t decomposes inert vegeta BILE
matter, peat, roots, etc. 1t hastens the
decay OF stable manure and dead car.
casses, putrescent matter, etc., but ia
all such cases if the manurial qualities
are to be made useful they must be
covered with earth during the action of
the lime to absorb the ammonia.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOME.
A Mothers Grief,


BY MIR. Z. v. WILSON
7" All that is left of my darling
Is hid in this little space
And the mother drew with trembling hands
The drawer from its resting place,
And saw a baby's garments,
Fashioned with dainty grace
Out of the finest fabric
Edged with the richest lace.
And tiny, bright-hued stockings,
And little shoes, half-worn,
And broken toys, and picture books
That baby hands had torn.
She touched them with trembling fingers:
Her eyes were filled with tears.
These are all, she said, 'that's left me
Through all hfe's weary years.
These, and little mound of earth,
Oh, God how can 1t be-
That of all the treasures my baby had
Only these are left to me-
For hushed is the merry laughter,
Folded her dimpled arms,
And hidden beneath the coffin-lid
Are all her countless charms
1 could not comfort; ny lips were dumb;
could only her sorrow share
WY shnul3 whisper of heaven above.
She knew that her child was there.
She knew it was .well with the littl, one,
But she longed to see its face,
And to fold once more its precious form
In mothers fond embrace,
And her heart will never be satisfied
Till the River of Death is crossed,
And she finds again in the other world
The child that in this she lost.

Horse shooting.

Secretary j. E. Russell, of the Massa-
chusetts State Board of agriculture, lect-
ured few evenings ago to an audience
of 1000 persons on what he calls a
national system of horse shoeiug. In
the course of his lecture he stated that
Marshal Bazaine told him in Spain,
several years ago, that Napoleon would
have escaped to Russia in safety but for
the failure of the supply of his horse
shoers. His horses being without
shoes, broke down on the rough and lev
roads, and hence the disaster that fol-
lowed. He said he would himself fol-
low the French and Spanish methods of
shoeiDg, which Is never to calk a shoe.
even on the front, except for use on the
ice, and the calk should be removed as
soon as possible. The proper shoe is
broad and fiat and as light as possible.
he would put the strength of the shoe
In the outer rim and use as few nails as
possible. The hoof is elastic, and the
use OF an unyielding rim of iron pre-
vents Its action. For this reason the
material method of shoelng-the nails
only on one side-is desirable if light
shoe is used. He would have a horse
shod every month, and three weeks ia
better. He thought horse-owners would
thus do more for humane treatment of

Sandy Soil for Fowls

The poorest and lightest sandy soil is
better for fowls than any other. The
rains carry downward all impurities, and
such soil is always hard and free from
mud, becomes dry in short time.
Diseases are not 30 frequent on light
sells, especially Group, and gapes in
young chicks seldom occur. This en-.
ables those possessing poor, sandy
soils, to utilize those for poultry rails
ing, and in a short time the land NAV

are benefited by poultry, not only from
the dropplngs left on the ground, but
also through the destruction of insects.
Poultry and fruit should be the object,
and there are many locations that could
be made serviceable in that respect.

John Browns Sword.

L. G.. Baylor, of the firm of Baylor

days ago:

John Brown, taken from him when he
was captured. 1t was given to my father

on is cavalry sabre, with an iron scab-
bard and bone handle. The blade is

etched, and SO plant that you can press
the point around to the handle, and
when it is released, it will resume its
original shape"
"How came your father to get it?"
"When Brown lay wounded, my faith
er went to him and took the sword from
under him. After keeping it while he
carried it to Brown and said: " Capt.
Brown, probably you would want to
give this sword to some of your relatives,
and have brought it to you to make
such disposition of it az you see ft."
Brown said: "No, you have been very
kind to me, for which / thank you, and
in consideration of what you have done
for me, prefer that you should keep
the sword" So my father kept it, and
gave it to me. Up to few years ago
it still showed the stains of blood OBJ
tanned in Browns Kansas raids. He told
my father that the STAINS were Kansas
blood and that the sword never draws
blood in Virginia"
"Most of Browns men who were il
the raid are dead, are they not?"
''All are dead except one. Owen
Brown, brother of Jonn Brown, is the
only survivor. He lives the life of a
hermit on an island in Putin Bay"

A New Theory.


Professor Wortley Axe, of the Roval
Veterinary College, has started totally
new idea of the nature of the disease in
horses foot, known as seedy toe. While
examining some of the broken-up, horny
matter which forms the contents of the
cavity in the wall of the foot affected,
MIR. Axe found immense numbers of the
extremely minute nematode worms, male
ard female, portions of the ova, in
abundance and dead and living embryos.
The male worm is provided with a very
strong boring tooth or spike, and by the
aid OF this instrument the creature can
easily cut up the horn. In some cases of
seedy toe no worms can be found. and
the point can only be determined by
microscopic examination of large num-
Der of specimens. The worms are about
one-t hirtieth of an inch in length.

Manure.

Brother 81. G. Devries, of Howard
County, Nd, gives the Grange Bulletin
his experience as follows she had
hauled out manure in piles to remain
until wanted, but without protecting it,
and that was great failure. He had
raised straw but never heavy crop of
wheat from an appliance of manure to
wheat ground. He had hauled out some
long manure on part of fel3, and
plowed it down. The remainder of the
field received dressing of short manure
on the surface, after blowing, and the
result was in favor of blowing manure
down. The best results in Howard and
Frederick Counties are obtained from
applying manure to corn ground in the
spring of the year, and no more than can
be plowed down. He had been i'm
pressed with the advantage of spreading
straw, coating of which, six or eight
inches thick, in the spring, is equal to
good coat of manure"
