Preservation of Eggs.

A New York electrician has devised
ton of eggs, For many years the only
successful method of accomplishing
this result has been to submerge the
hen fruit in lime water long enough
to close up the pores in the shell, sage
an exchange, and kill any germs which
might be lurking about With this
treatment it has been possible TO pre-
serve eggs in such a state as to permit
their use three or four months after
the submersion. But at the expiration
of this time, while the eggs are IN
a condition to be used by confectioners
and bakers. they have lost the dellcacy
and freshness which makes them ap-
petizing for the matutinal meal.
However. if the electricians scheme
proves TO be a success, eggs can be
preserved for an indefinite period in
as eatable condition as when first
laid. The treatment proposed Involves
the placing of the eggs in vacuum
bomber. 1t is a well-known fact that
the shell is not absolutely alright,
and there is always more or less air
inside the outer covering, which hastens
its decay. Putting them in the vacuum
chamber will have the effect of draw
ing the air from the interior. They
will then be painted with compost
ton which will render the shells air
tight.
After this thoS will be packed in
barrels of water and an electric current
will be introduced sufficient in strength
to destroy any germ life that may be
--aca0t. IF the scheme is successful
II will mean a revolution in the price
of eggs in the winter.

Another great trouble farmers often
have with their cows is Inflammation
of the udder, or garget. In cases where
the Inflammation is confined to the
superficial parts of the udder, as evinced
by the uniform swelling of its sub
stance, cold and astlingert applications
have been used with advantage, but,
on the whole, the safest application,
and the most successful one, is hot To-
mentations. This may be applied by
means of pledgets IF tow placed be-
tween the udder and supporting ban

water over it every ten or fifteen
minutes. The most efficient mode,
however, is by placing 4 bucket beneath
the udder containing water hotter than
the hand can well bear. and applying
the water by means Of blanket, thick

the bucket and applied against the
udder, ana maintained by two persons
holding the four corners, and placed
on the two sides of the animal. The
lamentations should be kept up for an
hour or more at time, additions Of
hot water being made at intervals, to
keep up the requisite temperature,
This should be repeated three or four
times a day On suspending fomenta-
TONS, the udder may be dried and
rubbed with the stimulating liniment
above mentioned, or, in bad cases,
large linseed-meal poultice applied,
and the addition of a little extract Of
beladonna to either will serve mater
tally to mitigate the suffering.

preciated by the producers OF comb
honey. They are quite proll1c, ana II
kept in small hives, such as have been
used of late in the United States, are
somewhat more inclined to swarm than
the other races introduced here. This
tendency becomes more pronounced
when their hives are not well shaded,
as they have been bred for centuries
with only slight Introduction OF outside
blood in a climate where the summers
are short and cool Moreover, the prac-
tice in Corniola is to place the long,
shallow hives, used almost exclusively
there. in beehouses and side by side,
one above the other, with Intervening
air spaces. so that at most only the
front ends are exposed to the sun.
This management long continued has
doubtless tended to develop and fix

be taken in account in their manage

tons they do well in any part OF the
