The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-08-21

While there is very fair place in
southern farm economy for peas. it is a
fact, however, that for soil improvement
and for furnishing hay, and also winter
and early spring pasture, clover must be
put ahead of peas. and it certainly will
be by the more intelligent farmers of the
south. Once let the southern farmer
make fair test of the bur and crimson
clovers and he will be an advocate for
clover the rest of his life. We regard
it as a great misfortune that our
farmers, one and all, do not know the
value of these clovers. we mention these
two specially, but they are not the only
varieties of clover that can be used to
great advantage by the southern farmer.
For one or two special purposes peas are
very desirable, but when you want to i'm
prove land speedily and economically the
above clovers are far more valuable than
peas 1t is the testimony of every one
who has tried them. The bur stands
pre-eminent as 1t has been more extensive
ly used. Parties who have seed for sale
should make 1t known without delay, for
it is crop that should be sown from Au-
gust to November.

better than the improved strain OF the
Late Flat Dutch.
The various seedsmcn have n few vari-
cites Of cabbage under numerous syno-
nyms
The Brunswick cabbage Ina one section
or another Of this country can doubtless
be found under a hundred different
names, and so il is with many other
kinds
When one gets good strain Of seeds he
ought to lay in good supply Of seed from
the same source If possible AT
any rate he ought to buy his seeds yearly
from the same grower. Cabbage seeds
cannot be grown in the south, at any
rate there has been none grown in the
south as vet that could be relied upon.
The most successful gardeners in the
south have always found it advantageous
to buy their cabbage seed of some relia-
able New England grower. The writer
has grown many thousands OF cabbages.
and he found out many years ago that
seeds of all biennial plants especially
have to be produced from northern lati-
tude by southern gardeners if they
would succeed in growing satisfactory
crops, and in all these years we have
used cabbage seeds grown in New Eng
land, and in their use have rarely been
disappointed

Preserving Eggs.

We will give you a formula, which is
the best we know, for preserving eggs,
but desire to say that while the farmer
may thus preserve few for his own use
at times during the winter when the hens
do not lay, he could plan to have a mod
crate supply every week in the winter
without much more trouble, and as for
selling lined eggs in winter, it is as great
a fraud as selling oleOmargarine can be,
SAYS r. l.. b. in American Farmer:
Though they are sold as being lim2d, and
at half the price or more of the fresh
eggs, the same may be said of oleomarga-
rine when sold by licensed dealers, and
there is even greater llabil-
ity of their being sold for
what they are not, and at price above
their value when they get into the hands
of unprincipled parties, because there are
not the arrangements for registration of
sales or inspection of goods, nor the
penalties for violation of the law, that
have been attached to oleomargarine.
And more we consider the use of these
preserved eggs as more dangerous to
health than almost any adulteratiOn or
imitation known in food products. But
those who desire to poison themselves
with such eggs can keep them about six
months by this process: Take one peck of
about 90 gallons, and stir occasionally for
twenty-four hours, after which allow it
to settle and dip or drain off the clear
water Add to this two quarts Of rock
salt and one-half pound of cream of tartar
and stir until all the salt is dissolved
Put the eggs into a cask carefully, seeing
that none are cracked, and when they are
about foot deep, put on a little of the
lime left from the first mixing. Do this
until the cask or tub is full, putting
good layer of the thin lime on top. Some,
for convenience sake, spread cloth over
the last layer of eggs before put
ting on the last lime, which should
then be three inches deep. This al
lows lifting the cloth to take out part
of the eggs. Have the pickle cover the
upper coating of lime to prevent it hard
ening The eggs must be perfectly sweet
and fresh, with clean and unbroken shells.
and for few months they will be very
fair limitations of fresh eggs, but, as the
colored waiter at the low-price restau-
rant said, ''We'se'got eggs enough, but,
boss those eggs much better scramble
or fry hard, than they are boiled. :"
They can be used in cakes and buildings
where strong havoring is used, but as
soft boiled or raw, they would not be ac-
cused of being fresh eggs. This formula
is supposed to be enough for 100 TOLLS doz-
en-.
