Some Facts About the Consumption of

Large Quantities Used In the Arts-how to

Fruit crops-Local rlarkets

A New York paper reports the receipts
OF eggs at that city between January lst
and May LIST amounted to 1,Ol4A2 cases,
whereas in the same period last year only
i94,U12 cases were received and only 9l9i :
4I4 cases in the same four months of 1874
The prices OF butter ana eggs are the low
est known in many years. The calico print
works use over 4U,0UO, 900 dozen eggs each
year. Photographic establishments use
lnillipns of dozens, and wine clarifers call
Tor over 10, O00, 900 dozen. The demand from
these sources increases faster than the
table demand. They are used by book
binders, kid glove manufacturers~ and for
finishing fine leather. TO these sources Of

The Egg Reporter says to test eggs:
dissolve two ounces OF salt In a pint or
water, and when a fresh laid egg is placed
in the solution it will Immediately sink to
the bottom OF tho vessel. An egg twenty
four hours old Will sink below the surface
of the watler, but not to the bottom OF the
vessel. An egg three days old Will swim in
the liquid, ana when more than three days
old will float on the surface. The older the
egg the more will it project above the sur
face an egg two weeks old floating on the
surface with but very little OF the shell

The Philadelphia Grocery World says the
apple crop of last year Is all consumed,
although 1t was nearly barrel for each

1t was the largest crop ever harvested.
The growing crop is also large, probably as
large as the last one. The same author
ity states that the grape crop of the east
