New Mining Movement


The Frostburg mining company,
owning what was formerly known as
''the Withers mining property" near
town. have nearly perfected arrange
ments for opening and developing that
body of coal. All the projectors lack,
it is understood, is the indispensable
switch connection with the Cumber-
land and Pennsylvania railroad.
Concerning this matter w. H. Evans
paid visit to president Mayer this
week, expressing as he left no doubt
of success. The property lies north
east of town, beyond the old Borden
workings. The area is large and well
timbered, comprising about 200 acres
in Garrett and 300 in this county. Of
the latter number at least 100 acres
are underlaid by good Big Ven coal,
known among miners as ''double coal"
The first work will be done at the head
of the grade of the old tramway at
the village of Allegany. The pro-
jectors have reason to believe they
will do considerable business and
give employment to quite a number
of miners.

Cabbage Lore.

Any variety of winter cabbage will
crack open when given too long season
and the weather continues warm in tho
late fall. The Danish Drumhead of me-
dunn size and very solid is one of the
best winter varieties. All Season, with
n largo 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
bagc on one side and partly lift it so as
to break away some of the roots from the
soil and thus decrease the flow of sap.
This will stop the cracking. AS rule,
fall blowing is best for cabbage, espe-
cially if the soil has II considerable pro-
portion of clay i'll its composition. Prob
ably there would be no advantage in
fall blowing well drained black muck or
sandy soils.-Vick's Monthly.

PRESERVING EGGS.
The Buttored Eggs OF TreIand-A Simple
Process For Homo Use.


Process For Homo Use.
Hero are two recipes from The FeasD.
cred World that are vouched for by q
writer who claims that he has tried both
and fonnd them worthy of repetition.
He says: The first recipe is more COM
mon in Ireland than on the other side OF
the channel, and "buttered eggs" are a
recognized article of commerce there in
the winter months They stand in value
considerably above the common or mar
ket egg and somewhat under tho new
laid egg. There may be difficulty in
disposing of them in England, but for
homo use they are well worthy of con-
sideration. Any method of preservation
to be effective must be applied when the
eggs are quite fresh and must aim Mt
the exclusion of the air from the inside
of the shell.
Inc outterinS process is very simple.
A very small piece of good butter should
be placed between the palms of the
hands and rubbed we'll 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. Tho thinner the covering the
better, provided that the whole surface
be covered. The buttered eggs should
then be placed in basket in some dry.
cool place and need not be moved until
they are wanted for use. | have kent
them for seven or eight months in this
way and have known them to DO kept 1o
months with success.
The other process of preservation is
by putting them in lime water. A large
earthenware vessel of some kind is most
suitable for this purpose. There are
several methods which vary in detail.
but all are equally efficacious. 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 evil
dence of this there should always be q
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 tho limo water.
The vessel may be filled with eggs ut
once. or these may be added day by day.
Care must be taken that tho eggs are all
covered with water, and to prevent
evaporation n 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 DO not film
on top somo 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 i'll tho lime, as in this process
one bad egg frequently leads to IL lot be-
ing spoiled. Some salt is added to the
lime by old hands
