PRESERVING EGGS FOR LONG
PERIODS.

Numerous methods of preserving
eggs are in use. The idea of this is to
keep air out Of the eggs, as by such
absence of oxygen decay can be ar
rested for a considerable length of
time, especially if the eggs are per-
fectly fresh at the start and are kept
in dark, cool place. The standard
method, most used by spectators and
dealers, is to put the eggs in lime wa
ter. The process is as follows, this
recipe having been widely sold at S.
under pledge of secrecy: Take "a gal
Ions of water, IL pounds of unslaked
lime and 4 pounds of salt, or in that
proportion, according to quantity of
eggs to be preserved. Stir several
times daily, and then let it stand un-
til the liquor has settled and is per-
fectly clear. Draw or carefully dip off
the clear liquid, leaving the sediment
at the bottom. Take for the above
amount of liquid ounces each of
baking soda, cream tartar, saltpetre
and borax, and an ounce of alum. Pull
verize and mix these and dissolve in
one gallon of boiling water and add to
the mixture about twenty gallons of
pure lime water. This will about fill
a cider barrel. Put the eggs in care
fully so as not to crack any of the
shells, letting the water always stand
an inch above the eggs, which can be
done by placing barrel head a little
smaller upon them and weighing it.
This amount of liquid will preserve
$50 dozen eggs. 1t is not necessary
to wait to get full barrel or smaller
package of eggs, but they can be put
in at any time that they can be OBJ
tanned fresh. The same liquid should
be used only once.-N. E. Homestead.

THE ORANGE CaOP.
Roughly Estimated at 6ooO Carloa
nj

Roughly Estimated at 5000 Carloads.
Good Prices anticipated.
THE HERALD is indebted to the Earl Fruit
company for the following information:
"The orange crop is later in ripenng this
season than usual, and very few oranges were
shipped from Southern California during De-
cember. The fruit is now coloring rapidly and
shipments will begin to move freely early in
January. The fruit promises to be of excellent
quality, and the crop is estimated at round
5000 carloads. The prospects are favorable for
the crop TO mature this season without injury
by frost, and the outlook lie favorable for salts
factory prices to be realized, although the con-
tinued business depression throughout the
eastern states naturally affects the fruit trade,
as well as other industries"
Private dispatches from Florida fully con-
firm the press reports MS to the total loss OF the
unmarketsd portion OF the orange crop, whl;h
is estimated at about one-half OF the toll yield.
Secretary Reed of the Sem-Tropic Fruit ex-
change received telegram from a friend in
ing all the oranges in that district, which is
one of the warmest in the state are frozen.
OF course here and there little fruit was so
sheltered as to have been saved, and for this 1t
is reported fabulous prices are being offered
This, however, is not taken as an indication
that there Will be an enormous advance OF
prices in the general masket. Inquiry at the
local fruit exchanges and of various orange
packers and growers; ELECTED the general
-
tendency to stifien the market and make IA good
demand for the entire Southern California
crop, but that the prices realized would not be
very much greater than If the freeze had not
occurred. The majority seemed to think that
the average increase would be about 20 cents
per box. This, in the aggregate, will be very
large sum, and the additional 20 cents per box
win net the growers a neat profit in itself.
There are some growers, however, who ex-
pect more than 25 cent advance. Many con-
slider themselves considerably richer than be-
fore the Florida freeze. Others sre kicking
themselves because they have already con-
tracted their fruit A Pomona man writes The
HERALD that he has lost $1,000 or $4,000 be-
cause he sold his crop before he heard OF the
loss of the Florida crop.
Many are of the opinion that the results of
the frost will nave more marked effect on the
market for southern CaifOrn. winter vege-
tables than on oranges. It is patent that there
will he good demand for all the vegetables
that can be shipped from this section.
a. A San Francisco dispatch says: Il. ]. Baldwin
Mas closed a contract with the Earl Fruit COM
bany of Los Angeles for mis- crop of oranges on
the Santa Anita ranch, estimated at 1870 car
Soads. Mr.. Baldwin will receive for the frop in
ihe neighborhood OF $50, 900. This probably IL

A VOICE FROM VERNON.
Alleged Misrepresentation Of the Water
Question.


VERNON, Dec. 81.
EDITOR HERALD: DEAR SIR--I 6nd in your
Sunday edition OF December 80. your report of
the Pioneer Fruit Growers association which
convened in Vernon school house on saturday
the 10Th inst. After reading the same (Which
was of interest TO me, not being able to be
presenU concluded the meeting had resolved
itself into an irrig alton meeting-more to mis-
represent the facts in regard to the author OF
the increased supply OF water for irrigation
purposes than any other business.
In connection with this matter, desire to
say that he who framed and offered those reso-
lutions, was sorely sfilicted with incompetency
or intentional Justification of the records. l
would not utter single WORD that in any way
would be calculated to tract from the eihoi-
ency OF my Old friend. Mr.. f. H. Dalton, any
more than he (Qaltou) would seek the position
oi water owerseer on the grounds set forth IN
these resolutions.
The facts are, during the administration OF
Mr.. Dalton as water oyeiseer, No. 2 ditch car
ried but two heads oi water, and No. two
heads. Mr. BiderrAin succeeded Mr.. Dalton,
and during his first year increased the supply
in No. 2 to three heads, and No. to four heads.
The second year OF the same admin stration.
No. . was snppiying four ana five neads daily,
while No. was running its ten heads outside
of the city on to the Baker ranch. AS for in
creased revenue to the city simply refer you
to water overseers reports. J. H. BREWER.
