A Agricultural Notes

A CORRESPONDENT of the ohio
Farmer is authority for the statement
that pork packers can tell the breed of
the hog by the shape Of the ham as it
comes from the cutter. The Berkshire
ham is round; the Poland China is
nearly round, little elongated; while
the Chester White ham is long and com
par,tively narrow.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Country
Gentleman recommends aconite in doses
of three fourths of an ounce of the
tincture as a specific for milk fever.
The first dose is the quantity named
above; the second, given SIX hours later,
was half as much as the first, and the
third, half as much as the second. She
was then well enough to eat little hay,
and in three or four days was turned out
with the other cattle, cured.
A CoNNECTICUT farmer and owner of
fine stock with irreproachable pedigree,
sold valuable calf for - cents a year
ago because it would not drink milk
and refused all nourishment. It's new
owner devised a valuable way Of bring
ing the animal up on eggs. These were
easily sent down the throat By being
placed IN the mouth, while the shells
remained behind and could be removed.
The calfthrived, soon learned to eat, and

WHEN spokes and felloes shrink and
the wagon-tires become loose, it is the
custom to have the tires reset, at the
usual expense of 80 cents each. It is far
cheaper and better for the wheels to sat
urate the entire woodwork with hot lin
seed oil. 1t can be applied with rag
tied to a stick. This fills the pores and
causes the timber to swell and fill the
tires as when new. With a coat of hot
oil once in n year or two there Will be
no loose tires, and the wheels Will last
very much longer.
A HORSE appreciates n comfortably
fitting harness as much as he does a
properly fitted shoe. The latter, when
set too tight, or with nail driven into
or near the sensitive tissues, produces a
positive lameness. Under this condi-
tion Of things he is promptly taken to
the shop for relief. But lie may suffer
nearly or quite as much from the chatting
of badly-titted collar, or a narrow
belly-band drawn too tight, or from a
check-rein shortened up so rs to form of
itself one of the severest punishments.
Either of these conditions produce rest
iyeness in the dullest brute, and in the
case of an animal of nervous tempera-
ment and having thin, sensitive skin,
he is liable to become frantic, the obtuse
owner or driver seldom approaching the
origin of the difficulty.

Pre- serving IEgnS.

Although there are dozens of methods
for preserving eggs, yet but few of them
are worthy of notice. LINED eggs have
been almost unstable this year, and the
lime method Will soon be discarded. We
give below a few rules that Will enable
our readers to preserve eggs in good
condition for at least three months,
though eggs have been kept as long as
six months by the process.
!. Always use fresh eggs. and do not
rely on those from your neighbor. You
must know that every egg is fresh, as
one stale egg may iniure all.
2. Use eggs only from hens not in
company with cocks, as such eggs will
keep three times as long as those con-
tanning germs of chicks.
3. Keep them in a cool place-the
cooler the better. Anywhere near 40
degrees above zero VIII answer, though
so degrees Will be cool enough for a few
months. Only be careful that eggs do
not freeze.
I. Turn them half over three times a
week, to prevent them from adhering to
the shells. The turning Of the eggs is
very important, and is one of the secrets
of success.
). No packing material is necessary.
Simply lay them on racks or shelves;
though if preferred they may be packed
in boxes, in dry oats, and the boxes
turned.
6. Solutions, greasing the eggs, egg
preserving preparations, etc, are unnec-
essary, as some of them injure the APP
pearance of the eggs.
7. Wash every egg clean before plac-
ing it with the others.
If the above rules are followed there
will be no difference between eggs so
preserved and those that are fresh. No
person can succeed in preserving eggs
who buys them from all sources, and
who does not know just when every egg
was laid, and it is on that point so many
failures occur. You cannot place any
dependence in eggs except from your
own hens. Even your neighbor is some
times unable to prevent getting stale
egg in among the fresh ones. Never use
stale eggs as nest eggs, or allow sitting
hens to bo in the room with your layers.
The greatest care should be exercised,
and the eggs kept always cool.-F'Grm
and FireSi8P.

sion Lanora saw from her window al
that passed at the gate, and wondered
who the tall, handsome gentleman was
A deep shade of crimson tinged hel
cheeks as the gentleman glanced up al
the window where she sat. His eyes
rested few moments on the pretty face
at the window, while pleased light
shone in their dark brown depths.

And she shuddered as she thought
of all she had endured while she was a
prisoner.
While Lenora was worrying for fear
she might be discovered, and possibly
stolen away from her present happy
abode, Ray Bristol and his mother
were IN the library talking of what
had occurred since they last saw each
other
"Who are the guests, mother, that
are here this year?'
Here is the list, Ray; you know
them all. "
He took the long slip of paper,
and hastily ran down the column.
yes; but, mother, who is that
young lady that occupies the blue
rooms? She has such pretty golden
curls
In spite of his great effort, he could
not conceal the anxious look in his
eyes. His quick, watchful mother saw
it, and could not tell whether she was
pleased or not.
why, Ray, she is very dear little
friend of mine, that is staying with me
for the present. Lima Rice is her name,
but [ call her my little Lima. She
came here in a very strange manner,
but | have not the time to tell you
about it now"
ooh, motherl please do not excite
my curiosity so, and then not satisfy
it,
Il have not the time now, my dear
boy, to tell anything for-harll =
there is the dinner bell now. You must
hurry and dress, for no doubt Jeanette
waits to see you"
Mrs. Bristol left the library immedi-
ately, but Ray sat there for some time
thinking about what his mother had
said, while Il strange, unusual express
sion rested on his handsome face.
Il wonder why mother would not
tell me all about her, and why she
blushed 50 when [ asked her who she
was?7

He seemed somewhat relieved after
coming to this conclusion aud went to
his room to dress for dinner.

THE POULTERER.

Farming is made up of many home in
dustries, and to neglect poultry as one Of
the sources of income is poor economy.
At certain seasons, when most of the
other farm products are disposed Of
eggs and early broilers in the spring
and summer are in the aggregate quite
an item, and may furnish all the store
supplies needed. We have always main
tanned that the farming class have facil-
titles and advantages over the ordinary
village poulterer in the way of range
and keeping them eheaply at all seasons
of the year.
1t costs very little to keep a flock of
fowls on the farm. They usually pro
vide the greatest share OF their own liy-
ing from the stable. the orchard. the
stubble field, and the straw stack. The
grain and seed which they pick up. if
left untouched would be OF no earthly
use to the farmer; and the grubs and in
sects which they would destroy would
lnjure the growing crops, vines, frat

THE HOU SEKEtPER.
To Keep Milk Sweet.

Instead of boiling milk it is better to
put it in glass jars self-sealing fruit
jars-set these i'll wash boiler or fiat
bottom vessel containing cold water of
a depth equal to two-thirds the height
Of the jar. The jars must be left open.
After the water in the vessel has boiled
for at least one hour the jars may be
taken out and closed. After cooling
slowly they should be set away in a cold
place.
Milk thus treated will keep in a cool
cupboard two or three days during such
weather as the present, and for a week
in winter. Heating in a water bath does
not separate the caseine, rendering the
milk ropy or scummy, as boiling does;
nor does it impair It's nutritive qualities
in the least.

cred the train on which the bridal pair
were to leave town, and what baggage

they confded their plan to the baggage
master, and with his connivance they
affixed to each handle of the trunks OF
the bride and groom an enormous bow
OF white satin ribbon. If the groom did
not baspheme when he saw the deco
rated trunks deposited in the hall OF the
hotel to which he went he may take
