PRESERVING EGGS.
Various systems Successfully Employed

Various systems Successfully Employed
by English Agriculturists.
We have good deal to learn yet
about the preservation Of eggs. Our
system OF lining does tolerably well,
but the reason is that well lined eggs
do not "give themselves away" to the
ordinary customer. They may have
nearly the appearance of fairly good
fresh eggs. There are prizes given
annually at the London Dairy show for
preserved eggs. All samples are kept
for three months at the Office of the
society. and are then opened at the
show. The test is considered to be
severe one. This year the prizes for
the best preserved eggs were given.
first, to eggs, described as "packed in
good sweet bran, thin end downward;
second, to some rubbed with mixture
of bees wax and oil, and packed in salt,
and third, to eggs rubbed with mutton
dripping, and packed in dry clear lime
perfectly air tight. II the first prize
eggs had really been simply packed in
bran, no effort having been made to
close the pores of the eggs. il seems a
little remarkable, still we have no
ment.
Eggs kept in q dry place begin at
once to lose moisture, the air bubble In
the thin or round end begins soon per-
ceptibly to enlarge on account of this
loss of moisture. The germs of fer
mentation, which the new-laid egg is
ontirely free from, enter through the
pores and act first upon that portion OF
the contents lying closest to the air cell.
This is obvious when an egg that has
been kept some time, but is still good,
is hard boiled. faint discoloration be-
ing observable next the air cell
The wonder is that eggs kept for
some time, and in which some change
must have begun, hatch and produce
healthy chicks.
If a fresh-laid egg. still warm. be
smeared with some pure oil or tallow,
and then at once packed in bran, it
may be expected to keep q good while.
Butter is excellent for tn purpose but
1t should be melted and heated long
enough to expel all the water. which re-
quires rather high heat-above that Of
boiling water. Treated in tn way, eggs
will be fit to boil for the table many
days, or even weeks, longer than eggs
without treatment.
1t is not improbable that perfectly
fresh eggs gathered warm from the
nests and packed in and deeply COW
cred with dry, sweet bran" at once,
may be sufficiently protected from the
spores or germs of fermentation to keep
AS well as II they were creased. The
white-of-egg smeared over fresh eggs
forms one of the best means for ex-
cluding the air. We have heard its use
well spoken of.
Whatever attempt is made to keep
eggs, the highest success will follow
when the freshest possible eggs are a
once placed where the air and its malgn
influences will have the least possible
effect.-AmeT an DdirymaR.

Treatment Of Chicken Cholera.

Although hundreds Of remedies have
been proposed for bens afflicted with
cholera, it is doubtful II q snre cure has
as yet been discovered for this terrible
scourge. The best mode Of treating a
large flock of fowls is to allow them no
drinking water at all, but add a tea
spoonful of strong liquid carbolic acid
to quart of water and use this water
for mi ing the soft food. which should
consist of two pounds Of corn meal, one
pound of parched flour. half pound of
fenugreck and an ounce of bread soda.
Boil pound of the inner bark of the
red oak tree in half gallon Of water
down to a quart. Take pound Of the
mixture, pour in gill of the red oak
bark decotion, stir it well and then
add the carbolic water until the whole

have it too stiff Give them all they

Suggestions for Those Who May Wish tc

Many have occasiof to dispose of old
art cles. or those no longer wanted, liks
rings, watch chains and the Ike. With
honest dealers there Is no trouble in get
ting their full value, which depends upon
the amount of pure gold they contain.
The particular form or shape. however
much regarded by the owner on account
Of memories or associations, is seldom
OF any value to the purchaser. unless
for rare specimens of bric-a-brac Let
it be understood that very few articles
are ever made of pure gold. That
metal is too soft TO wear well, and of too
pale color to look WELL for most pur-
poses Our gold coins are alloyed with
one-tcnlh the weight of a mixture of
silver and copper. For manufactured
articles, a certain percentage of other
metals is melted with gold. This per-
centage is reckoned in "Carats, or
"karats. a Carat is one-twenty-
fourth. Thus, lS-carat gold means that
lS-2Iths of it, or 3-4ths. is pure
god; II carat means 12-2iths, or one
half gold. The bet jcwelry. such as
rings, bracelets, setting for stones,
etc, are seldom over Is carat.
More articles are made of l6 carat.
Most of common jewelry ranges be-
tween II and 10 carat. Pure gold, and
alloys down to 10 carat, W II resist any
single acd, not being eaten or oxidized
by nitric acid (called aqufortis). A
mixture Of nitric and murlatic acid will

The Is carat gold is a clear yellow;
16 carat has richer reddish yellow: IA
carat is shade between gold and cop
per. Lower grades take on n more
coppery hue, though none but experts
would decide against 10 carat; and a.
nitric acid will not affect il, it passes
for gold. For service. II to l6 carat is
good enough; for expense, or show. Is
carat In buying gold articles, the pur-
chaser, il honest, makes close estimate
by the looks, by special gravity and &c d
tests, and pays fair price for the gold
contained. Sometimes he buys an ar
Gle to be paid for after assaying. An
ord nary price in tn city is cents per
pcnnyweight for each carat. CA penny
weight Is "a grains.) Thus. if an old
cham weighs 10 rennywe ghts. and is
estimated at 10 carat fine, ii VIII sell for

would bring times II, or So cents per

for 10 carat, 40 cents per pcnnyweght.
Gold is reckoned by Troy weight,
having 20 pennyweights to the ounce.
and II ounces of 4S0 grains each in the
