The Commissioner OF Agriculture in
his last report says: Both Sweet and
Irish potatoes are a fine crop in ali
the States-the average being over 100
both as TO acreage and condition. Sor-
ghum makes a better showing than
usual, some of the counties reporting
both acreage and condition largely
over l00-the general average being
100. Grasses are also reported con-
siderably over 100, and pastures were
hardly ever so good. Live Stock of
all kinds, as a consequence, are I'm eX-
cellent condition in all parts of the
State, excepting only hogs, among
which the cholera prevails to a degree
more fatal and extensive than has
ever before been reported to this Blu
reau.
1 want to give you my method for
keeping eggs, for l have tried nearly
all the processes, and have found none
that kept eggs with less deterioration
from the fresh state than the follow
ing method: Take a stOneware vessel
(earthen will not answer on account Of
its porous nature) or clean half-barrel,
and put in a layer Of common salt, two
inches deep; then place the eggs with
big end down, close together, but not
touching; cover by carefully sprink-
ling salt between, and cover the eggs
about one and a half inches deep.
Then proceed with the next layer in
the same way. The large end Of the
egg is where the air-sack or bubble is,
and by placing it down the contents Of
the shell hold it in place and prevent
it frem expanding. and also, to a much
greater degree, will prevent the yelk
from settling to the shell. Careful ex-
periments showed me what an aston
ishing difference there is in eggs kept
even on a hOle-bOred shelf, with little
or big ends down. Careful experiment
has proven the desirability of large
ends dOwn.-Poultry Keeper.
