Ways of Preserving Eggs for winter
Prairie Farmer

AdAIS
AS the season is close at hand when
fowls quit laying, the provident house
keeper desires to put away enough
eggs for winter, and various methods
are employed. They NAY be packed
IN oats, small end down, but if the
dish containing them is set where it is
damp the oats will be likely to become
musty and burt the flavor of the eggs.
They will keep a limited time packed
IN salt, but the yolks will often settle
against the shell, rendering the eggs
worthless. They are sometimes pack
ed in dr. ashes, but if these are very
strong, they are apt to cook the eggs,
and this way is not to be recon-
mended. / have seen good house
keepers fill colander with eggs and
pour over them a whole tea kettle of
boiling water before packing them
away. The theory of this is that the
hot water slightly cooks the outside of
the egg next the shell so that the re-
mainder is perfectly air tight, and
thus preserves the inside parts
Another way S to slake fresh lime,
making it about the thickness of
hasty padding. Then to one gallon
Of water pat two teacupfuls OF this
and one teacupful of common salt.
Stir this until dissolved, then put in
an egg, and if it rises to the top it is
too strong. Add water until the egg
will sink to the bottom. When of
the right strength, pack the eggs in
jar, put plate Or board on the top
to keep them under the liquor, and
rour it over them. The eggs must be
covered by the mixture or they will
spoil. They will keep this way long
time; but if the liquor is made too
strong it will eat the shell.
Another way is to pack them in
small boxes, and when one is full nail
it up and turn it over once a week.
They should be packed in salt or brs a,
SO as not to touch each other. This is
said to be the surest way to keep eggs
for a few months. Some claim to
have good success by greasing the
shell with lard, and then packing in
bran. Cold storage is also a good
thing, but unfortunately every one
has not such convenience.

Strong and brave and willing,

And many a good fat fee.

Alone meath threat'ning sky.
You've braved the rushing river,
And gained the steepest hill;
With all your nerves aquiver
You've struggled onward still.
And many a stricken household

Have we gone through the night.
oh, ever at my service
Since you and l were young,
Good friend, you've neighed me welcome
The sweetest song e'er sung
And now, my horse. they tell me
That you're too old for use.
And ask, why don't sell you
To sorrow and abuse!
Oh, never fear, old Godfrey,
Together we've grown old,

Crushing Corn for Stock

J. w. L, Kosclusko county, Ind,
says: Is there any real benefit IN
crushing or grinding grain for cattle
or hogs? Would it be advisable for q
farmer to put up building fer the
purpose OF grinding grain for stock?
Many farmers have the necessary
power, which could be employed in
grinding feed for himself and his
neighbors. Ground grain, judiciously
fed, will pretty certainly be better di-
gested than will grain fed whole; this
is especially true if the meal be mixed
with cut hay, straw or chaff; Or with
bran, corn-crushed cob and grain to-
gether, will generally be better masti-
Gated and digested than that fed in the
ear. Vast quantities Of corn are fed
in the ear, without crushing or grind
ing. Where hogs follow the cattle
there is comparatively little loss. A
number Of experienced cattle-feeGers
are using the Porter cob crushing ma
chine, some counting it great help
to have the husks on the corn, thus
making a thorough chewing more GER
tain. The question is largely one Of
cost. When corn is low priced grind
ing will hardly pay. Most of the corn
and cob crushers of the older styles
did their work rather slowly; so the
usual grinding mills work the same
way, and if the grain must be carried
to and from the mill, the cost in time
is considerable. do not oppose grind
ing Or crushing, but the question OF
cost should be carefully considered.
AS yet, In the west, I would not advise
any large expenditure for buildings or
mills, especially if most of the cattle
feeding is done In spring or autumn,
and in the fields Or feed lots. For hog
feeding, I doubt whether grinding
often pays. Even for comparatively
young pigs, soaked corn has some ad-
vantage over cornmeal. For mich
COWS, ground feed is very desirable.

Prevent the Spread of Hog Cholera.

If hog cholera breaks out Ia herd,
keep the. herd completely isolated SO
long as danger exists. Separate the
sick from the apparently healthy, and
give the latter in their food carbelic
acid Cos per cent at the rate of ten
drops to each $50 pounds of live hog,
three times day. This will not cure
badly diseased animals, but it will
have tendency to destroy germs that
may obtain access to the food or feed
ing places. Pens where the disease
has existed should be thoroughly
cleared and drenched with weak Sc
lutions of carbolic acid. If the
weather will permit, the manure
should be carted to the field and
pIoWed in. A sandy soil is to be pre-
ferred, as favoring more rapid decon-
position. Piling the manure and
forking it over two Or three times till
it is thoroughly heated in all its parts
will tend to destroy the germs of the
disease AS freezing does NOT destroy
but only SCENE to render the germs
still more viruient, it cannot be
deemed safe to introduce new lot Of
healthy swine into pens where the
disease has existed till several months
have expired, and not till after the
heat of summer has had its purifying

magnitude of the company's business
shows to what an extent life insurance Is

written by the Equitable in 1855 was over
$96,O0O,000, being nearly thirty millions
more than that written by any other COM

writes larger amount OF insurance an
nually than any company In the world.
Its business at home-ip New York--far

The Weeks Attractions a. the Theatre
Aimee and Rose CoghlAn.

Aimee and Rose COghlan.
The first attraction at the theatre this
week will be Aimee on Wednesday night
in "The Divorce Bill" satire on the
divorce question. In it Aimee appears in
the character of "Cyprienne." The plot
Of the play is said to be a little suggestive
OF the naughtiness and to have a slight
flavor, but none of the situations or dia-
logues are so broad as TO offend or pre-
vent just appreciation of the exquisite
piquancy and irresistible fun and wit of
the burlesque of gallantry in married
lite. 1t is pronounced play that
abOunds in delightful frivolity and
salaclOus inuendo without outraging
delicacy. 1t illustrates that most of the
fascination of married Irritation arises
from the fact that it IS forbidden by
morality, and the susceptible wife, after
divorce, leaves her at liberty TO marry
an ardent suitor, finds O lover in Der
husband, and at a rendezvous Of intrigue
at restaurant supper, realizes most
powerfully her love for her husband in
the role OF her gallant. The sale of re-
serve seats for Aimee's performance will
begin tomorrow morning at Davis Bros.
On Thursday night Flora Moore will
appear in tine Toy Pistol" Friday and
Saturday nights Miss Rose Coghlan will
appear in "Our Joan.' Miss COghlan has
for several ears been one of the most, if
not the most, popular leading lady on the
New York stage. For the past several
seasons she has been leading lady at
Wallack's. 1t was made known last
spring that Miss COghlan would take the
field as star. Performers Of less talent
and OF far less experience have been sue
cessful in this bOder and more adventur-
Gus course, and Miss COghlan, therefore,
had good reason to wish to try her for
tune. The play, sour Joan,' in which
she appears, was written expressly for
her by Herman Merivale, author of For
get-Me-Not." This will be Miss Coghlan's
first visit South. She is now playing at
the National theatre, in Washington.
