The lime process OF keeping eggs is
to take one pint of salt and one quart
of fresh lime, and slake with hot wat
er. When slaked. add sufficient water
to make four gallons. When we'll set
tied pour off the liquid gently into n
stone jar. Then with a dish place the
eggs in, tipping the dish after it fills
with the liquid, SO they will roll out
without cracking the shell, for if the
shell is cracked the egg will spoil.
Put the eggs in whenever you have

eggs should be thoroughly washed,
and rubbed in with vaseline previously

from the eggs. Eggs thus treated are
said to keep perfectly fresh for a year.

A stock company for the manufac.
ture of liquid cheese is preparing to

A local paper insists that there have

Statistical calculations show the
wheat crop prospects of Virginia to

due to the damage done to the crop
by the extreme cold weather.
