in my grave now if it had not been for
your God-sent remedy, Pe-ru-na. Twas
a broken down woman, had no appe-

with my stomach. It is now seven
years past that used Pe-ru-na and I
can eat anything."-Mrs. Eliza Wike.

THE PLANTER IN DETAIL.

open and shut them according as you
wish the corn dropped. BY wheeling
this barrow along in your marked field
it can be easily adjusted to drop the
corn just as you may wish it.
For filling the pan, bore two-inch
hole (c) in the board wheel and have a
cork, or, better, have a swing slide (O,
held OH by screw, as seen in illus
tration.
The corn may be covered with har-
row across the rows, but it is better to
use a'Planet junior cultivator having
the roller attachment and follow the
rows. Take the two oblong teeth and
turn them to throw the dirt inward, and
the roller coming along behind fattens
the earth down upon the corn.
A mistake is sometimes made in al
lowing the machine to drop too much
corn. TO avoid this, count the number
of kernels dropped the first three or
four feet when beginning new field
This machine is a great labor saver in
planting for silo or other use, and is
good working machine.-Orange Judd

Preserving Eggs by Lining.

Lining eggs is both a practical and
simple way of preserving them, and we
don't know of a better, unless you keep
them in cold-storage house at tenn
perature always above freezing-say
80 degrees to 40 degrees-when they
will keep six months with safety. There
are many formulas for making the lime
solution. One of the best plans is pack
ing in jars. Care should be taken to Sc
lect receptacle from which the eggs
can draw nothing; hence glass jars or
stone crooks are preferable. Six gallon
glass jars will hold 20 dozen eggs.
Slack about peck of lime; to this add
six pailfuls of water and three quarts of
salt. This should all be dissolved, and
when settled is fit to use. Pour the
thin limewater into the jars, cover
them with cloth, and on this spread a
coating of the thicker limewater. The
solution must stand in the jars SO as to
cover the eggs. A peck of lime will be
enough to preserve about 100 dozen
eggs.-Rural World.

IMPORTANT CANAL.
cradle BENEFIT to the Wheat
Growers of Our Country.

Canada has begun the construction
Of canal which is likely to have an i'm
portant effect on American commerce
and the interests of American wheat
growers. The canal is to be short
waterway from the St. Lawrence to the
upper lakes, avoiding lakes Erie and
Ontario. The canal already built be-
tween Montreal and Ottawa is to be
extended along the line of the Ottawa
river to Lake Nipissing. Thence the
route will follow French river to
Georgian bay and Lake Huron.
When this canal, which is to be twice
the depth of the Erie canal, is built,
grain laden barges and steamers will
be able to pass directly from Duluth,
Port Arthur and other points on the
upper lakes to tide-water. Later it is
intended to deepen the canal so as to
allow the passage of ocean steamers.
When this is done, steamers may be
loaded with grain at Duluth and pro-
coed to Liverpool without breaking
bulk.
From Chicago to Liverpool by the
new route will be 700 miles shorter than
by way of the Erie canal. The saving in
time will be even more than this COM
parison of distances indicates; for the
artificial waterway by the Ottawa
route will be only 30 miles as COM
pared with 800 miles by the Erie canal.
When allowance is made for the delay
in transshipment, it is probable that
grain will reach Liverpool from Chi
cago by the new route week sooner
than by the Erie canal. The new water
way will somewhat disturb American
commerce. On the other hand, it will
be of great value to American farmers
in the increasing competition with
ether wheat growing countries

Lounsbury had been moved, and lay on
his back on the deck with his head resting
on the edge of the helm grating. He was
soaking from the sousing that had brought
him to life, but l sent up mental thanks
giving on the discovery that it had not also
brought him to reason. The sole sign of vi.

was a hoarse and hollow tone at each heave

to his broken head; and though felt him to

breeding from One Strain.

It is well known that the best mode
of preserving the beauty of plumage,
and retaining the points of excellence,
is by inbreeding. But this can be done
in way so as not to be too severe. The
aim sho'ts be to breed from one family.
If new blood is to be introduced let it
be done by selecting a hen from some
other yard, and mate her with the best
cock you have, keeping the young cock
erels of the union only, and disposing of
the pullets from the same, but do not
make any change of blood in the pullets
of the strain kept. BY this mode the
blood of the cocks is partially changed
every season, thus permitting of sys-
tenn of in-breeding that may be con-
tinued for several years. = American
