PRESERVING EGGS.
Directions for the Use of WATER GLASS
Furnished by Prof. Lndd, of
North Dakota College.

Prof. Laid, of North Dakota College
of Agriculture, in bulletin No. 35, gives
the following directions for the use OF
water glass in keeping eggs. Water
glass is silicate of soda or silicate of
potash, the former being cheaper. 1t
is not expensive.
If wooden kegs or barrels are to be
used in which to pack the eggs, they
should first be thoroughly scalded with
boiling water to sweeten and purify
them.
To each ten quarts of water, which
should first be boiled and then cooled,
add one quart of water glass. Pack
the eggs in the vessel and pour solution
over them, covering well.
Keep the eggs in a cool, dark place.
A dry, cool cellar is a good place.
If the eggs are kept in too warm a
place the silicate is deposited and the
eggs are not properly protected. Do
not wash the eggs before packing, for
by so doing you injure their keeping
quality.
For packing use only perfectly fresh
eggs, for stale eggs will not be saved
and may prove harmful to others.
All packed eggs contain a little gas,
and in boiling such eggs they will
crack. This may be prevented by
making pin hole in the blunt end of
the egg. To do this hold the egg in the
hand, place the point of a pin against
the shell of the egg at the blunt end, and
give the pin quick, sharp blow, just
enough to drive the pin through the
shell without further injury to the egg.

The children couldn't help but laugh at
Drusilla's earnestness, and they laughed
with a better heart because they knew
that if they should have another opportu-
nifty to visit the country next door to the
world, Drusilla would not allow them to
go alone. But the opportunity never
came, and they not only ceased TO expect
it, but presently fell in with other adven-
lures that were quite as curious and as
interesting, all of which are to be chroni-
cled, however clumslly, in the pages to
follow.
Meanwhile. one afternoon, when the sun
was preparing to go to bed, and when the
children were still expecting little Mr..
Thimblefnger. they heard voice calling
from the big road, which was not lar
away from the spring:
"Heyo, dar folks! viii yo' dogs bite?'
The voice was that of negro woman She
was driving a small steer to wagon, but
had left the vehicle on the side Of the road
and had come over the stile. She was

old. She had a countenance that could
smile, but its aspect was now serious, and
her eve was bright and keen.

A visit From Aunt Minerva Ann.
The cold and gloomy weather brought
by the east wind, soon cleared away, and
the sun shown out bright and clear, with
a warm breeze from the South, a breeze
that brought out the violets in great pro-
fusion. Stin the place was not the same
The negroes ceased their songs, except
Johnny Bapter, and even he didn't sing
as loudly nor as constantly as he used
to. And they ceased to wrestle and play
at night. 1t seemed that they had prob
lens to consider. They were not sure of
their position; they had nobody to advise
them. They might have asked advice on
the subject but freedom appeared to add
10 their shyness, and they refrained from
asking for any information or advlce.Just
why this should be so, nobody has ever
discovered to this day. Some of the less
fortunate found strangers to give them
advice and to make them promises that
were never to be redeemed; but on the
Abercrombie place the negroes worked in
the dark, as the saying is, except for such
advice as the strong common sense of IA
ron was able to give them. They had the
idea that, having been made the object of
what seemed to be a special interposition
of providence, they were to be sustained
and maintained in the same way.
This accounted for the fact that the ne
groes on most of the plantations left home
and flocked to the towns and cities, where
they became the charge of the freedmen's
bureau, an institution that did a great
deal of harm-a great deal of good, be-
cause in many cases 1t prevented actual
starvation, and great deal of HARM be-
cause it left the impression on the minds
of the negroes, that they were to be sup
ported by the government whether they
worked or not.
