Cabbage Lore.

Any variety of winter cabbage will
crack open when given too long u S
and the weather continues warm in the
late fall. The Danish Drumhead of me
dunn size and very solid is one of the
best winter varieties. All Season, with
a large solid head, is another of the
best. A good course to take when there
are indications of cracking is to insert a
digging fork into the soil under the cab
bage on n side and partly lift it 30 as
to break away some of the roots from the
soil and thus decrease the flow Of sap.
This will stop the cracking. AS a rule,
fall blowing is best for cabbage, espe-
cially If the soil has a considerable pro-
portion of clay in its composition. Prob
ably there would be no advantage in
fall blowing well drained black muck or
sandy soils.-Vick's Monthly.

The Shrinkare Of Hay.

A Rural New Yorker correspondent
writes as follows:
often hear or see in the papers in
quiries in regard to the number of cubic
feet required for a ton of hay. Many
times the answer is given 500 feet. l do
not think any definite number Of feet
can be relied upon as a rule. Much de-
ponds upon the quality and condition of
the hay and more upon the Judgment Of
the person making the estimate. I have
many times weighed and assisted in
weighing hay from a given number of
feet and found a variation of from $50
feet in a deep well bay of fine hay to 900
feet IN a small scaffold of a coarse,
loosely packed article.

PRESERVING EGGS.
The Buttered Eggs of Ireland-A Simple
Process For Home Use.

The Buttered Eggs of Ireland-A Simple
Process For Home Use.
Here are two recipes from The Feath-
cred World that are vouched for by a
writer who claims that he has tried both
and fonnd them worthy of repetition.
He says: The first recipe is more com
Dlon in Ireland than On the other side of
the channel. and ''buttered eggs" are a
recognized article of there in
the winter months. They stand in value
ket egg and somewhat under the new
laid egg. There may be a difficulty in
disposing of them in England, but for
home use they are well worthy of con
sideration. Any method Of preservation
to be'effective must be appli then the
eggs are quite fresh and mast aim at
the exclusion Of the air from the inside
of the shell.
The buttering process is very simple.
A very small piece Of good butter should
be placed between the palms of the
hands and rubbed well over the inner
surface of both hands. When it is thor.
oughly melted, the eggs to be buttered
should be taken in the hands and thor
oughly covered over with the melted
butter. The thinner the covering the
better. provided that the whole surface
be covered. The buttered eggs should
then be placed in a basket in some dry,
cool place and need not be moved until
they are wanted for use. | have kept
them for seven or eight months in this
way and have known them to be kept IL
months with success.
The other process Of preservation Is
by putting them in lime water. A large
e~arthenware vessel of some kind is most
suitable for this purpose. There are
several methods which vary in detail.
but all are equally efieacious. The SIM
plest plan is to half fill the vessel intend
ed to be used with water. put in it a
couple of good sized pieces of unslaked
lime. The exact quantity used is not of
consequence, provided that there is not
enough to saturate the water. AS evi-
dence Of this there should always be a
film of lime on the surface Of the water.
The lime at the bottom will do no harm,
but rather good, as it will lessen the
risk of any eggs being cracked when
being put into the lime water.
The. vessel may be filled with eggs al
once, or these may be added day by day.
Care must be taken that the eggs are all
covered with water, and to prevent
evaporation a cover to the vessel is of
advantage. In case there is evaporation
or leakage water must be added from
time to time, and if there be not a film
on top some fresh slaked lime should be
added by %sprinkling it On the water.
Unless it is certain that all are fresh.
every egg should be examined before
placing it in the lime, as in this process
one bad egg frequently leads to a lot be-
ing spoiled. Some salt is added to the
lime by old hands.

stopping the Counting.

Mr.. Osmond Tearle, the tragedian,
has gathered up some good stories Of
the stage in the course of his expert
ence in touring through England and
America. Here is one:
went one night to hear Fechter
in a melodrama of tragic cast. In
one part of the play Fechter had to
count out money. He was very de-
liberate and said slowly, "One, two,
three, four, fve," and so on. The
interest of the play was hanging on
the tragedian's having enough money
and paying it over to the villain. He
kept slowly counting, and the audi
ence grew more restless and anxious
for him to finish. A witty son of Erin
in the topmost gallery, getting tired,
yelled:
