New Egg.PreseryIng Process.

"a new process of preserving eggs
has been discovered. said a grocer to
a reporter. land 1t Is going to have an
important effect on tho trade" The
speaker then opened an egg that
looked fresh without and within, and
explained that 1t had been laid months
before and subjected to the new treat
ment invented by resident Of Copen-
hagen. The process consists in sub
jecting the eggs to a oarbonic acid
bath. They are kept in dramatically
sealed tank that is filled with carbonic
acid, and not taken out until they are
to be placed on the market The eggs
subjected to this treatment show a
sharply-defincd yclk and an unchanged
white. Eggs preserved by coating
Of lime do not maintain this condition,
Carbonic acid tanks can be made espe-
cially for shipment and eggs thus pre-
served can be sent on long voyages =

VALUE OF DRAINAGE.
why 1t Pays to Drain Dry Land Under Al
Circumstances.

why 1t Pays to Drain Dry Land Under All
Circumstances.
The past two years Of drought. and
the pretense Of some unwise writer's
that the drought was caused by the
tile drainage, has greatly demoralized
the business. 1t will take some time to
recover, But it will again resume its
place in good farm Improvements. 1t
is benefit to the farm in any kind Of
season. too wet. too dry, or medium.
1t prepares the soil to stand better the
extremes Of the seasons. Plants mostly
get their moisture from the ground,
and it is better brought up by capillary
attraction when the soil is rendered
loose and porous by underground tile
drainage. And underdrains are ten
times better than open bitches to take
the surplus water off. When the water
passes through the soil to the drain.
there is no loss of fertilizing material
by washing and the ground will be
found ready for tillage in a few hours
after the heaviest rains. In case Of
tile drainage the soil will catch up and
retain for plant food all that the fall OF
snow or rain always brings to the
earth. The tile drain three feet deep
and twenty feet apart, with fall of
two inches to the one hundred feet, will
work wonders in nearly all classes Of
land. This is not necessarily confined to
land too wet for cultivation. It pays to
drain dry land, so thai the water will
pass through and enrich the soil in
stead of taking OF by surface water the
fertilizing gases brought down by rain
from the atmosphere, as well as the
artificial fertilizers applied by the
provident farmer. Let no variety OF
reasons stop the grand work of drain
age. and never listen to the foolish
man who charges drought to such work.

FLOWING BY STEAM.
1t Cuts Very Small Figure in AgricuI-

1t Cuts u Very Small Figure In Agrlcul-
tural Work.
The first steam pillow made in Amer
lea was patented in 1888 by Z. C. Bel
linger, of South Carolina. but it was
not successful in operation. The first
steam plow that was successfully used
in the field was patented by Mr.. Heath
cote, Of England. in 1882. This plow
was used to some extent, but at trial
in 1887 for q prize that had been offered
for successful implement of this kind.
1t was adjudged too cumbersome and
difficult to work. After this other
steam-plows were patented, of which
the most successful was that Of Mr..
Fowler, patented in 1854, and again in
1864 Another successful invention
was the Howard steam-plow. There
were said to be in 1870 over one thou
sand steam-plows in use in Great
Britain, and numbers had been sent to
the East and w est Indies, and Egypt,
and also to South Africa, Australia ard
Canada. The apple alton of steam to
blowing was but slowly accomplished
in this country, owing probably to tho
fact that few of our farmers have sufli :
cient capital to try these inventions.
The wealthy merchant, A. I. Stewart,
had steam engine for blowing made
in England for use on his estate on
Long Island. An improvement on this
engine was devised and patented by
Mr. Hinsdale, an American. and has
been since used successfully. not only
for psows, but for threshing-machines.
mills and pumps. Two of the largest
engines ever used for blowing were
made about 1870 by Fowler & Co.. of
England. for Mr. bingham, the owner
of a large plantation about fifty miles
south of New Orleans. OF late years
this invention has been steadily gain
ing ground. improvements Of much
value have been made. and yet taking
the country as whole the use Of steam
in blowing cuts a very small figure
in agricultural work. = Chicago Asisr

Our Sam Bradford has been nominated as

ties.for Sec'y Of the National Philatelic As
So, and will doubtless have but little oppo'
sition. The Western Philateist says of him:
Mr.. Bradford is man not SO we'll known
to the majority Of members. although all
who were in attendance at the Chicago con-
vsntion will recall with pleasure the manly
though unsssuming part he took in Its de
liberations. He is essentially what the office
requires--s worker; and being master OF MS
own time can give the duties the attention
that they require. He is charter member
and vas one of the first to respond TO the
call for organization sent out two years ago.
He has worked hard and faithfully for the
association and philately, snd has succeeded
in organizing q society Of twenty members
in his city. Mr.. Bradford is about twenty.

Death on the Rail.

The body ofa respectfully dressed man,
apparently 70 years Of age, was found bs.
side the Rock Island track near Brickton
on Sunday morning At an early hour, and
was yet warm when . party oftrsinmsn
conveyed it to the freight house. The s,slp
on top Of the head was cut clearly and even.
ly as though by some sharp instrument,
from the apex Of the skull 10 the forehead
although the skull itself was not fractured.
The right shoulder was broken, there was
severe confusion of the right eye, and the
right hand was broken. There are three
theories TO the unfortunate occurrence, all of
which are plausible. The first is that he may
have been walking on the track and came in
contact with the COW catcher Of No. 10
freight, being Knocked down and striking
his head on the COW catcher; the second that
he was riding on The cars and fell off, strik-
ing his head aud shoulder upon sharp rocks;
and the third-murder! The last is ten
able, rs ne had not even scrap of paper 10
identify himself nor penny in his pockets
although his attire was not that of tramp.
The coroners Jury rendered the same old
stereOtyped verdict of accidental death, and
the unknown, after lying twenty hours in
the freight house, without even pail TO
cover his mangled and repulsive remains,
was buried in the potter's field.
