German Method of Preserving Eggs.


series of interesting experiments
in the preservation of eggs, carried on
last wear in Germany, has just been
published in an official consular report.
After eight months of preservation,
4O0 eggs, divided into twenty different
narceIs for that many methods of ex-
npriment, were examined, with heter-
ogenous results. Upon opening for
use the eggs presented the following
results, according to the parcels origin
ally numbered: 1. Eggs put up for
preservation in salt water were all
bad not rotten, but UNBEATABLE, the salt
having penetrated into the eggs. 2.
Wrapped in paper, 80 per cent bad. 8.
Preserved in a solution of salicylic
acid and glycerine, 80 per cent bad.
5. Preserved in bran, 70 per cent bad.
6. Provided with covering Of paraf-
fin, 70 per cent bad. Z. Vanished
with solution of glycerine and salicy-
lie acid, 20 per cent bad. 8. Put in
boiling water for twelve to fifteen sec
onds, so per cent bad, 9. Treated
with a solution of alum, so per cent
bad. TO- Put in a solution of salicylic
acid, so per cent bad. II. Vanished
with water glass, 40 per cent bad. II.
Vanished with collodion, 40 per cent
bad. 13. Covered with lac (probably
shellac varnish), 40 per cent bad. Ia.
Vanished with sward, 20 per cent bad.
Is. Preserved in wood ashes, 20 per
cent bad 16. Treated with boric acid
and water glass, 20 per cent bad. II.
Treated with manganate of potash, 20
per cent bad. 10. Vanished with
vaseline, all good. 10. Preserved in
lime water, all good. 20. Preserved
in solution of water glass, all good.
The last three methods are conse-
Quently to be considered the best ones,
and especially the preservation In the
solution of water glass, as vanishing
the eggs with vaseline takes too much
time, and the treatment with lime
water sometimes communicates to the
eggs a disagreeable odor and taste.
There is one drawback with eggs pre-
served in a solution of water glass
the shell easily bursts when placed in
boiling water 1t is said this may be
avoided by cautiously piercing the
shell with strong needle.

other hand, materially increased. An
other factor which is calculated to tell
against the American product is the
increase in the supply of butter from
Ireland, and with this increase a de-
cided improvement in the quality and
uniformity of the article, resulting
from careful study of the require
ments of the English market. 1t can
not be said that American makers
have altogether chit off" the taste of
the English consumer, the preference
for a less highly favored article being
to the disadvantage of the American
product. The competition in butter
being so keen, and the sources of pro-
duction SO numerous-thereby giving
almost unlimited choice to the British
purchaser-it is Indispensable, apart
from the question of flavor, that the
choicest grades only should be put
upon the market, and that the greatest
attention should be paid to uniformity
of quality, in which there is certainly
much room for Improvement

Small CAPITAL for Poultry.


1t is an advantage with poultry keep
ing that the beginner can make his
capital; that is, he can grow his CAPT.
tai If he will be patient, says Cole
mans Rural World What is meant
is that If one commences with fifty hens
he need not be compelled to buy more
stock Immediately, as he can prepare
one year for the next. He may have
200 hens the second year, and have all
accommodations complete. The third
year he may have a flock of 500, and
then increase every year, so that In
five years his farm may contain 1000
hens. 1t will extend the period over
five years, hence as the beginning is
with few, the capital will be small,
and as he adds to the number OF his
hens, he at the same time enlarges his
capital. Now, that is a point in favor
of the poultry business-this gradual
enlargement of the capital which makes
1t so attractive to many, and which also
makes the business possible to those
who cannot derive as large profit in
proportion to capital invested in any
other pursuit. But the great difficulty
is the fact that nearly all who turn
their attention to poultry are unwilling
to wait five years. They are not in
clined to build up a business, but en-
deavor to get into it the first year, with
proof from limited capital and no ex-
perience, the result being that the list
OF failures is long one. The one who
begins with a few and increases his
nock gains experience as he travels
along the road of progress, and, while
increasing his capital through the nat
ural increase of his flocks, is adding
TO his experience and becoming more
capable of accomplishing the objects
sought. The capacity of the plant is
made the greater by the production of
The focks, the eggs and poultry sold
being the sources of income. 1t may
De hardship to support family while
getting we'll into the business, but the
sacrifices made will be we'll repaid
later. While building up business,
the selection of good layers from pure
breeds and the escaping of disease will
also assist in insuring success.

Robertson,s Combination silare.

Prof. Henry, in his new book on Feed
and Feeding" has this to say about
the Robertson combination silage:
Robertson, of the Dominion station,
Ottawa, in the effort to secure silage
containing the nutrients of balanced
ration, concluded that the following
mixture would prove satisfactory: Ten
tons Of green fodder corn, three tons
Of English horse beans, and one and
one-half tons of sunflower heads. To
secure the proper proportion of these
crops under Canadian conditions, for
each acre of corn there should be
planted half an acre of horse beans
and one-fourth of an acre of sunfiow-
ers. This mixture was found satisfac-
tory in feeding trials with dairy COWS
and fattening steers. Since the horse
bean does not thrive in the United
States, except possibly in the extreme
north, some other plant must be sub
stituted in mixtures of this character.
Mr.. G. F. Weston, superintendent of
the Biltmore estate, North Carolina,
reports to the writer that he has found
that one load Of COW pea vines mixed
with two loads of green corn forage
produces an excellent silage for dairy
cows"

A GREAT REMEDY.
Greatly Tested.
Greatly Recommended.

The loss of the hair is one of the most
serious losses a woman can undergo.
Beautiful hair gives many a woman
claim to beauty which would be utterly
wanting if the locks were short and
scanty. 1t is almost serious loss when
the natural hue of the hair begins to fade.
and the shining tresses of chestnut and
auburn are changed to gray or to a faded
shadow of their former brightness. Such
a loss is no longer a necessity. There is
one remedy which may we'll be called a
great remedy by reason of its great sue
cess in stopping the falling of the hair,
cleansing the scalp of dandruff and re-
storing the lost color to gray or faded
tresses. DR.. Ayers Hair Vigor is stand
ard and reliable preparation, in use in
thousands of homes, and recommended by
everyone who has tested it and expert
enced the remarkable results that follow
its use. 1t makes hair grow. 1t restores
the original color to hair that has turned
gray or faded out. 1t stops hair from fall
ing, cleanses the scalp of dandruff, and
gives the hair a thickness and gloss that
no other preparation can produce.

Uninspected Horsefesh Exported
The American government has never
taken official cognizance of horsefesh
as an article of export. Nevertheless,
it is being exported. If this trade be
allowed to go on it should be subjected
to the same inspection rules as beef
and other meats that are ordinarily ex-
ported. If this be not done, the meat
trade of this country will suffer, for
the reason that the prejudice awakened
nv the unsanitary horsefesh will pass
over to the other meats. We can not
claim that a man being a citizen Of
the United States necessarily makes
him an angel, and therefore we must
look out for the rogue among us that
he does not bring our good name into
diserace in foreign lands. Recently
the authorities in Sweden inspected
some horsefesh imported from Amer
;ca and claim to have found it to be
of a character entirely unfit for food,
the flesh being evidently from diseased
animals.

Tuberculosis in Raw Milk.

Conflicting testimony as to cOntagia-
bility of milk is to hand from various
quarters, writes John McDougall in the

says milk is more to be dreaded than
meat, being uncooked, and an infants
principal food, but that a strong con-
stitution protects, and instances a
two months old pig fed on affected
milk for six weeks, and when killed,
found perfectly free and healthy,
whereas rabbits inoculated with the
same milk were affected in six weeks.
Nocard and M'Fadzean hold that milk
from tuberculosis COW, unless the
udder is affected, is noninfecting. Bang
says he has examined siXty-three tu-
berculous cows with healthy udders,
and found milk infected in nine
cases. Ernst testifies to the same ex-
perience. DR.. Amoback instances the
death of his son, healthy boy of thir-
teen years, suddenly taken i'll and died

Outlet for Our Butter.-Addressi
Wisconsin dairymen, j. H. Monrad
said: During the past year several
experimental shipments of creamery
butter have convinced the dealers in
England that if they can afford to pay
our price they can get as good butter
from here as anywhere. 1t remains to
convince the consumers in England of
this fact The trouble is that our home
market in reality is the best, and for
that reason it may be years before we
establish regular all-the-year-round
export, but as my own private opinion
| may state that I have been convinced
that we have safety valve for our pro-
duction and that there is no need of
letting extra creamery go below 10 cents
in Chicago If we will only deliver per-
feet milk or adopt Pasteurization, in
order to secure uniformity. 1t is to be
hoped that this safety valve will be
used rather than the usual cold storage
speculation, which only depresses the
market later on"

DEMOCRATIC APPOINTMENTS
or Old Soldiers TO Office in Preston
County.

For the benefit of Bro. Holt OF
the Grafton Sentinel, and Bro.
White Of the Journal, We will name
a few Of Congressman Wilson's old
soldier appointments IN this coun-
ty. At Kingwood. Capt. Jas. T..
Murdoch was appointed and held
the Office OF postmaster under
Cleyeland's first term, and when
the Republicans got in power again,
they fred him out before his time
was up and appointed n young man
who was not OF age and had to
wait "A month or two before he
could take the Office. Under Uleve-
lands last term, no old soldier APP
piled for it. At Independence,
George NJ. Shafer, an old soldier,
WAS appointed postmaster, and
John X. Purinton, another old 81
dier, WAS assistant. At Tunnel on,
Milford q. Gibson. an old soldier,
was appointed postmaster. At Al
brightsville, Albert Snyder, n
other Union soldier, was appointed
postmaster, and at Brandonville,
Richard Waddell, an old veteran,
and Republican, too, was allowed
to hold the postofice clear through
Cleveland's term, and has it yet.
There were probably other old SOL
der appointments in the county
that we are not sure Of without
looking the matter up. Then DR..
j. III. Manown, another old vet
eran, served on the Pension Board
for Kingood, but was promptly
fred and a young doctor just start
ing out, appointed in his place
when Mckinley came into Office.
Besides the above postoiices given
to old soldiers in this county, sew
eral widows were appointed and
others allowed to hold over, be-
cause they needed the position. AT
Evansville and Fellowsville, poor
widows, with several children, were
appointed by Mr.. Wilson, Tor on
his recommendation, and they
we're promptly turned out and
small fry Republican politicians
given the offices, soon as Mckinley
came in, and the new postmasters
are not old veterans, either. Then
at H~owesville, Carmel and other
places, widows were allowed TO hold
over under the Democratic admin
istrAtion. Now, brethren, will you
be good?
