Keeping Eggs for Winter.

| have tried many different
methods of packing eggs, but have
found that keeping them in brine is
more satisfactory than any method
of dry packing that | have had any
experience with. | use jars in
which to keep the brine, although
kegs or any waterti ght vessel will
answer the purpose. The recipe for
making the brine is as follows: To
three gallons of water, half pint
of waters Stacked lime, of the con-
sistency of thick cream, and one
pint of common salt. Stir until
both lime and salt are dissolved !;
then drop the eggs carefully to pre-
vent cracking, as cracked egg will
soon spoil. The eggs must sink
gently, not rapidly, and must
almost float, but if they float on the
top the brine is too strong and more
water can be added. Eggs must
be entirely fresh and each days
supply deposited in the brine as
aeon as gathered. If these directions
are followed, eggs will be fresh in
appearance and quality after being
in the brine year OF course, a
fresh-laid egg is preferable for table
use or cake icing to any packed egg,
but there are many ways OF using
eggs in which a packed egg answers
equally as well, and there is time
IN the life Of hen, when moulting,
that she does not seem to have the
interest of the house-wif at heart
but is looking after her own comfort
Eggs then become scarce and high
and store of packed ones from
which to draw is very acceptable
During the late Spring and early
Summer month eggs are very
plentiful and cheap. This is the
time to pack, and you will have
plenty of eggs the year round.

building. The sides and roof may
be of cheaplumber, though all parts
of the building should be well
braced to prevent the weight OF the
ice from forcing it out of shape.
A building II feet square and III
feet to the caves will hold enough
ice for any family without danger
of the supply becoming exhausted.
The roof may be of boards, and the
gable ends should be left partly
open, for the preservation of the ice
depends in a great measure on
allowing the air to circulating above
it freely.
When ready to put the ice in,
put a foot of sawdust on the floor,
and build up the ice in a regular
block, leaving 2 feet between the
pile of ice and the sides OF the
building.
After the ice is in, fill between
it and the sides with sawdust, and
put 2 feet of the sawdust over the
top of it, and it will keep perfectly.
If sawdust is not available, chaff
may be substituted with good re-
suits, if care is taken to pack it well
about the ice.
When the time comes to use the
ice, take out what is to be used for
the day, and after this is done re-
place the covering of sawdust or
chatf. To keep the packing from
falling out when the door is opened,
peices of board little longer than
the door is wide should be placed
across the inside of the door frame,
and removed as the ice is lowered

FOR THE FARMER,


during the Summer. 1t is certainly
better to cure and store away suf-
ficient supply now while pork is
cheap than to sell now and buy
next Summer. Pork may be picked
or dry sailed, as may be preferred.
When dry sailed one of the best
plans of management is to cut it
up, trimming the hams and
shoulders and taking off the ten
derloin from the sides and making
these into sausage. Lay the meat
out over night so as to cool it out
thoroughly, as it is important to
have all of the animal heat cooled
out. Mix little finely ground pep
per in with the salt, rub each piece
carefully and then after placing it
where it is to lie sprinkle salt liber-
ally over it. The meat should not
be frozen when it is sailed, and if it
freezes in day or two as soon as it
thaws out go over it carefully, rub
bling with the salt, as was done the
first time. Under ordinary con-
ditions this is all that will be nee
essary In three weeks the meat
will be ready to hang up and smoke.
1t is best to do this early, so that it
can be taken down and packed
away before flies come.
In picking the sides the better
plan is to cut them into strips Have
the barrel perfectly clean or there
is a risk that the meat will be faint
ed. Cover the bottom of the barrel
with salt. Then put in a layer of
the meat, putting the rind sides
against the sides of the vessel. Then
sprinkle literally with salt, put in
another layer of meat and repeat
this until the sides are all in. Use
about bushel of salt to a barrel of
pork. Then make a strong salt
brine, as strong as the water will
dissolve, and cover the meat all over,
putting a weight on the meat to keep
it under the brine. Some prefer to
boil the brine and skim and then
allow it to cool before pouring it on.
With hams and shoulders, allow
them to cool out after trimming,
rub over carefully with the salt and
pack closely in the vessel. Then
take a pound and half of salt and
a pound of coarse brown sugar to
each gallons of water and an ounce
of saltpeter to every hundred pounds
of meat. Put in kettle and bring
to boil, skimming carefully. Let
it stand until cool, and then pour it
over the meat. Let the meat re-
main in pickle from four to six
weeks Then it will be ready to
hang up and smoke. 1t is not bes t
to allow meat to remain too long in
salt or it will get too salt. 1t should
be remembered that when meat is
frozen it will not take salt to any
extent, and allowance should be
made for this in counting the time
the meat is in salt. The farmers
care in this way secures a better
quality of meat for his own use than
he can buy.

Pursuant to the call made in the
papers last week the citizens of the
town met IN mass convention last
Monday evening TO nominate city

man OF the convention and @. NJ Lee
secretary. On motion Frank ].
Holmes was unanimously renominat-
ed tor mayor. Several ballots were

AS the second week in the G | oil e's
great popular voting contest draws to
a close, interest in the advancement Of
the various contestants does not abate
one Jot or title, as Is evidenced by the
fact that $4,000 votes were added to the
already immense total during the hours
that the G o b e office was open yes
terday, and this, too, in spite of the
general understanding that some of the
strongest candidates are holding back
their resources for a final squirt today
when they propose to close the week,
so to speak, in a blaze Of glory.
The greatest advance made yesterday
by any one of the contestants was
made by the representative of Mann
heimer Bros. L. K. Newman, whose
friends gave him a great boom by add
ing over 5000 votes to his number
making his total 47,319 votes, a lead Of
over 1900 over his nearest competitor,

dawntng germ Of love. That germ would be-
come faculty Of that SOUL That SOUL grow
ing in another life, would develop. Ultima ely
the germ OF love would reach its perfection;
would become passion OF philanthropy that
would inspire its future possessor to deeds
or noble sacrifice.
How are you going to account for these
differences except by the doctrine Of reincar-
nation?" asked Mrs. Besant.
Heierring to the question of phenomenal
ability In childhood, Mrs. Besant spoke again
or Sir. William Hamilton and also of Mozart
VINO could harmonic melody at three years
OF age Who could explain these prodiges eX-
cept by the doctrine Of reincarnatiOn? The
theory OF special creation must be set aside
as unjust The doctrine Of heredfty could not

the lecturer. What sort OF heaven would
you have for such a soul that has no faculty
OF knowledge? You can not say 1t must be
You cannot deny it Immortality Dare you
say 1t shall not be permitted to evolve? How
can you say such soul is fit for heaven,
" when there Is such field on earth in which

all souls on earth were at the same stage it
might be argued that the ignorant soul had
no place on earth. How can any one think
that soul is sent on this earth to live one
little short life? You are hypnotized by the
| public opinion Of the day! You are dominat-
e To, by the materialistic tendency of the age.
You accept grotesque absurdties you would
never dream of under other conditionsr'
Mrs. Besant called attention to the fact
that the churches were laying greater stress
on the symbolic and mystic side of religion,
Their God is a broader creation The deeper
spiritual truths were being taught Why was
this and what did 1t signify? 1t demonstrated
that the souls Of the early Christian teachers
were being reincarnated in the religious teach

cause the souls Of the Augustan age came

The doctrine Of reincarnation explained life
1t reconciled things otherwise misunderstood
Only the believer in reincarnation could look
upon the criminal with nothing but a feeling
OF pity. Mrs. Besant closed with an eloquent
description of the destiny Of the human soul
which, she said, would reach the summit of
knowledge and purity not by any miracle, for
God does not work in that way, but by
growth. "When the soul is older it will
restore to you the memory of all your lives

T. Kelly, are making a warm contest
for the fourth place.
The tie which existed yesterday morn
ing for first place among the fair sex in
the contest has lost an element of inter-
est thismornin, not so much through the
failure of either of these young women

through the advance made by a young

The contest is literally becoming the

the extent to which the idea of attest

RESPECTFULLY DECLINED

The cable brings the information that
ME- Curzon, under secretary for foreign
affairs, replying to a question of Mr..
Davitt, informed the house of COM
mons that the British government had
declined the request of the United
States for conference in relation To
providing further measures to prevent
the determination of the seals. It is
probable that the language in which
the answer is couched will follow the
style customary among diplomats. and
will not initiate the tone of the dis
patch Of Secretary Sherman to Ambas-
sador Hay requesting the conference.
That it was that caused the outburst
of indignation in the British press. the
more peppery portions OF which were
duly cabled here and laid before our
readers who doubtless, as they read
it, wondered what all the fuss was
