As eggs have their season, even
though it be long one, it is very de-
sirable to be able to lay up a supply
when they are abundant. But the
problem has been how to keep them
fresh. A writer in the Country Gen
tleman thinks he has discovered the
way to do it; and as the air is the
source of the difficulty, his plan seems
reasonable. But the proof of the keep
ing will be in the eating. He says:
"After a variety of experiments,
through period of ten years at least,
| succeeded so well last year that eggs
packed away during the very hot and
dry weather of August and September.
1881, were turned out perfectly sound
and sweet, though little shrunken. at
Thanksgiving and Christmas. The
way of doing it is not a costly one, and
the processes are very simple-the Sc
cret being to put the eggs away in q
clean and perfectly inert and inodor-
Gus medium, and one which compactS
itself so that there will be absolutely
no intrusion of atmospheric air, and nc
sudden changes of temperature.
''All it is necessary to do to repeat
these experiments and to keep eggs
through summer, is to procure small
clean wooden or tin vessels, holding
from 10 to 20 gallons and a BARRE
more or less of common, foreground
land plaster. Begin by putting on the
bottom of the vessel two or three inches
of plaster, and then, having fresh eggs
with the yelk unbroken; set them up.
small end down, close to each other,
but not crowding, and make the first
layer. Then add more plaster and
enough so the eggs will stand upright.
and set up the second layer; then an
other deposit of plaster, followed by a
layer of eggs, till the vessel is full, and
finish by covering the top layer with
plaster. Eggs 50 packed and subjected
to temperature of at least So deg, il
not 80 deg. during August and Sep
TENDER, came out fresh. and if one
could be certain of not having tenn
perature of more than 70 deg. to con
tend with | am quite confident eggs
could be kept by these means all the
year round. Observe that the eggs
must be fresh laid, the yelks unbroken

with clean, fine ground land plaster,
and care must be taken that no egg SO
presses on another as to break the
shell. -

That Annie Tree.

Two persons own land separated by
line fence, which is common property
between the two parties. One has an
apple tree on the fence, whose limbs
over hang the fence on the side of
the other. Apple fall on either
side. The question often asked is, do
the apples that fall on ones land be-
long to one or the other, or to both?
This question has been several times
discussed with some contradictory de-
cisions and judgments, but the rules
are now pretty well established. If the
stem or trunk of the tree grows
so close to the line that part of its ac-
tual body extend into each, neither own
err can cut it down without the consent
of the other, and the fruit is to be equally
divided. If the stem of the tree stands
wholly within the boundary line of the
owner. he owns the whole with its pro-
ducts. although the roots and branches
extend into the property of the other.
There was an old rule of law that the
latter might claim from the yield of the
tree as much as would be IN offset for
the nourishment it derived from the es-
tate but this is now obsolete. The law
gives the land owners on whose soil
the tree stands the right to cut it down
at his pleasure. and to pluck all the
fruit from it while it stands.
in New York state the courts have
decided that trespass for assault would
be by the owner of the tree against the
owner of the land over which its
branches extend if he prevented the
owner of the tree by personal violence,
from reaching over and picking the
fruit growing upon the tree while stand
ing on the fence dividing the lands.
The land of the owner over which the
branches extend may lop the branches
close to his line. He may dig down to
cut the roots square with his line, if he
so elects. In plain terms if no portion
of the trunk is within his line he may
refuse all trespass OF the tree upon his
premises eithe1 above ground or below
it, but II ne gives the tree licence to
extend its roots under his soil or to
hang its branches over his premises, he
does not thereby gain any right to its
fruit. He cannot pick it himself or
interfere with the picking of the owner,
as long as the latter remains in the tree
or on the fence which divides the prop
erty This right to the fruit does not,
however, permit the other owner to
come upon the soil on the other side of
the line to gather the fruit, and all the
fruit which falls without to the ground
on that side may thus become the
property of its owner -Thi!adelP!tta

attempt TO prove himself good Indian,

Poundmaker's trial was finished at Regi-

camp, and went into the war in defiance of
the chiefs wishes. The jury brought in a
verdict of guilty, after which Pound

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Glover For Hay

Glover For Hay.
There is wide difference of opinion
among farmers as to the value of clover
for hay, as well as to its value as a
farm crop in rotation. Probably the
majority of farmers in New England
SOW a little clover seed with other
grasses when seeding land with grain
crops in spring, and there is consider
able clover seed sown on the surface in
spring upon fall-sown grain fields; but,
after all, the proportion of clover hay
annually put into the barns of New
England farmers is comparatively
small, probably not more than one ton
in ten or in twenty of other hay. One
reason probably is, that clover is less
salable in market than timothy, redtOp
and witch-grass. 1t is considered I'M
fit for horses, and quite likely to bring
on heayes, though some writer's claim
that this is only because clover is liked
50 we'll that horses will oyer-eat if al
lowed to have all they will take
Chemists give very high value to
clover as compared to other upland
grasses; but it is often so difficult to
cure it perfectly, that farmers who feed
it are not sure to agree in opinion with
the chemists.
According to our experience, clover,
either green or dry, is not eaten by
COWS with the same relish they show
for orchard grass, rcdtop and timothy,
when these are properly grown. Per-
haps clover is too rich, and they can
not eat so much of it, or perhaps it IS
most valuable as a part of ration.
like cotton-seed meal, oilcake and
beans We should certainly not recon-
mend a farmer to give up his whole
farm. nor all his best grass land to the
production of clover, but it should form
a larger part of the hay crop Of the
country.
On moist land that is really adapted
to grass. timothy and redtop, especially
the former. will make a full, or nearly
full crop the first season after sowing
the previous fall, but upon dry land 1t
requires year for the roots to get
firmly established in the soil so as to
produce full crop. BY the old method
of seeding with grain in spring, the
grass often had the first year to grow
without being cut, and what was called
the first. was really the second year of
its growth Green clover, especially if
wet with rain or dew. should be fed
with caution, as it IS liable to fermcnt

that as the Minneapolis July directory

mate difference of population, applying the

of exceeding 1900. The Minneapolis pa
pers treat the matter with great compla-
cency. They say that all relative figures,
such school statistics, election returns,
building records, show that the population
given st. Paul is too high, but that all of
such statistics justify the full number given
to Minneapolis. In view of the fact that
the census figures give them over 1900 in

The London Daily Telegraph says;
There are many advantages in women
clerks. They are found to be punctual
and docile. Their good conduct and
decorume after Office hours insure
a steady attendance not broken in upon
BY Derby headaches or the drowsiness
that follows nocturnal dissipation.
They have not that genius for getting
into debt which is an indication of SUI
periority displayed by their male col
leagues. 1t is also worthy Of note that
the sluggishness of promotion, which
is one of the difficulties of all official
careers where men are concerned, is
got rid of in the case Of women. No
matter how closely they may restrict
themselves to their work from ten to
four, the clever, clear-headed, Wig
orous young girls who are Government
clerks are ready enough for society in

THE GIRLS.



We're often told in woful lay
of poor down trodden mothers;
The fathers, too have had their day,
And ditto all the brothers.
But somehow in this calendar
A few important features
Have been omitted. Well, in short,
Where are the girls. Dear creatures!
The giddy, daisy girls,
Tie fiirty, lazy girls,
With all their giggles, beaux and
curls,
We rather like the girls.
We hear of the maternal drudge
With daughters at croquet;
OF shallow pated misses
Willing sultly hours away;
How they revel in opponents,
And they dawdle out their days;
Oh, bless us How refreshing
Now would be one word of praise
For the silly, Eighty girls.
Will some good mother rise and tell,
In righteous indignation,
That every daughter is not-well,
The bane Of all creation;
Tell how dear one gently slips
Behind your easy chair,
And rest comes when soft finger tips
Smooth back your silvery hair
Oh, the dear housewifely girls
Now, father, brother, pause awhile,
What if the flying feet,
The dainty figure, sunny smile,
The voice so low and sweet,
Were gone forever from the home,
Ard mute the lips you kiss,
How desoiate the old hearthstone
All. then, perhaps you'd miss
The fair, angelic girls.
They seem to be a fixture here,
And now they frankly say,
Though rudely welcomed, never fear,
They're here and here to stay.
They'll whisk the cobwebs from your
brain,
And laugh when you are blue.
In hours of sunshine, days of pain,
Wen try to worry through
With merry, teasing girls,
And stately, freezing girls,
They're sometimes sweet, and some
times well,
They're changeable, these girls.

A LONDON correspondent of the
Philadelphia paper, makes the state
ment that 532 aristocratic families of
Great Britain, with 1891 relatives have
got hold of 13,SSS offices which are
kept up at an annual charge to the
British taxpayers of S16,000,O00. In
the last thirty-fve years the Dukes,
Marquises, Earls, Viscounts and Bar
ons, with their relatives have absorbed
from the taxpayers $40, 600. In
these figures the charge of royalty up
on the people is not included. the direct
levy for the Crown being S4.300,000
per anuum.
