PRESERVING EGGS.
Formula Used by Spectators and
Dealers Engaged in the Business
on a Large Scale.

Numerous methods of preserving
eggs are in use. The idea of all of them
is to keep air out of the eggs, as by
such absence of oxygen decay can be
arrested for considerable length OF
time, especially if the eggs are perfect
3y fresh at the start and are kept in
cool, dark place. The standard meth
cd most used by spectators and deal
ers is to put eggs in lime water. The
process is as follows, this recipe having
been widely SOLD at five dollars under
pledge of secrecy: Take two gallons of
water, II pounCs Of unsiaked lime and
four pounds of salt, or in that proper
tIon according to the quantity Of eggs
TO be preserved. Stir several times
daily and then let stand until the liquid
has settled and is perfectly clear. Draw
or carefully dip off the clear liquid,
leaving the sediment at the bottom.
Take for the above amount of liquid
five ounces each of baking soda. cream
of tartar, saltpeter and boraX anA an
ounce of alum. Sulverize and mix these
and dissolve in one gallon of boiling
water and add to the mixture about 20
gallons of pure lime water. This will
about fill a cider barrel. Put the eggs
in carefully so as not to crack any of
the shells, letting the water always
stand an inch above the eggs, which
can be done by placing a barrel head
little smaller upon them and weighing
1t. This amount Of liquid will preserve
$50 dozen of eggs. 1t is not necessary
TO wait to get full barrel or smaller
package of eggs, but they can be put
IN at any time that they can be OBJ
tanned fresh. The same liquid should
be used only once.-Michigan Trades

Shipment of Dressed Fowls.

1t is common saying that the mar
ket is never over-stockeG with the best,
and this is probably correct. Whenever
the market is over-stocked it begins at
the poorest quality to reject. If the
market does not reject the low quality,
it at once reduces the price t o point
below cost of production and market
ing. Therefore the only people that
stand chance of making money are
those that send to market good prod
ucts in good shape. In way markets
are always over-stocked, except in
times of special scarcity. But the mar
ket is never over-stocked with choice
fowls. Great loes to the producers re-
suits from the manner in which
fowls are dressed and shipped TO mar
ket. One man says that the quantity of
fowls daily dressed and sent to market
in an unstable condition is enormous.

SON HAD THE ADVANTAGE.
His Reputation ms an Athlete Made
Him Better known Than His
studious Father Was.

William Scott, of Pittsburgh, who has
been brought so prominently before the pub
lie recently through being Mr.. Carnegie s
lawyer in the famous "multi-milIion-dollar
controversy" between Frick and Carnegie,
asked one question too many the other day.
Everyone interested in legal affairs knows
how the two millionaires have always con
suited the same law firm because their in
terests were identical, and that when the
split came this firm, of which Judge Reed,
president OF the Lake Erie railroad, is the
head, refused to take sides with either client
and that new attorneys had to be chosen.
Mr.. Carnegie chose Mr.. Scott, a brilliant and
well-known Princeton a!umnus of the class
Of so, says the Philadelphia Post
On June 8, at the opening of Nassau's com
mencement, when Princeton took the base
ball championship from Yale and young
King Scott, Mr.. Scott's son, had the honor
OF being substitute pitcher for Hildebrand,
MIR. Scott was among the favored guests.
Mr.. Scott is fond Of getting evidence from
people, and when freshman who idoliZed
King Scott came up to shake hands with the
father after the game Mr.. Scott asked him
what he thought was the best thing IN col
lege life.
Athletics. sir was the freshman's eager
answer. Its the greatest thing of all. 1t
does fellow no end of good.
And why athletcs?' insisted Mr.. Scott.
well, sir was the answer, its just this
way: ! guess you were good student here,
Mr.. Scott. and read a heap of books-but
nobody has ever heard of you, and the whole
world knows about King"

TIMELY SWINE NOTES.

The hogs are mortgage lifters this
year.
Converting corn into pork this sea-
son has been paying business.
Do not LEI the harvest work or cult
walton of the crops interfere with the
care of the pigs.
The wheat that did not pay to cut
can be harvested by the hogs to de-
cided advantage.
Let the hogs run in the orchard now
and they will destroy lots of worms
and insects by eating up the dropping
fruit.
A farmer who cannot find pleasure
in handling the swill pail for the pigs
is not able to enjoy all the pleasures
of the farm.
Hogs are filthy animals only when
they are compelled to be filthy. They
enjoy clean quarters as much as any
other animal, and will keep them so if
given chance.-National Stockman.

Sheep Rs Farm Fertilizers.

Prof. Roberts, of Cornell university,
says the fertilizer produced by n sheep
in year is worth $3.17. While the
most of this is left in the pasture. its
value to the farmer depends much
upon the condition of the grass there.
Many pastures are in such condition
that they need breaking up and re-
seeding as much as they do fertilizer,
and until something is done to remedy
this trouble the vaIue of the manl>e
made by the sheep would to some ex-
tent be wasted. We know that the
sheep improve the pasture by killing
many varieties of weeds, and thus give
the grass better chance, but the
sheep should not be forced TO live en-
tirely upon weeds and bushes. If they
are, it will be question whether the
bushes or the flock Of sheep VIII be
killed first.

THE HORSE BUSINESS.
Those Who Raise the Right Sort of
Animals Have Never Yet Made
Failure of 1t.

At the roundup institute in Wiseon-
breeder of that state, gave the fol-
lowing good advice in regard to the
brood mare:
If you are going to raise draft horses
see what kind of brood mare you have.
Don't try to raise a draft horse from
LOCO or l,100-pound trotting mare.
Select your largest mares and cross
them with the breed you like best,
purebred draft horse, whether he is
imported or American bred, you must
get size and quality. If you are going
to breed carriage or coach horses, Sc
lect your mares that have size and
quality, and cross them with the very
best carriage horse you can. | am not
going to point out the particular breed
you should have. Among our American
trotters we can get as good type OF
coach horse as there is in the world, if
we look to size and quality, but there
are not enough of them. If American
people had paid as much attention to
producing good carriage horses as they
have to producing speed, and speed
oichSs VIC Npuih nave INC ptSN tOdSh
and carriage horses of any nation in
the world, and we would have ma
tional reputation for producing car
riage horses equal to the one we have
had for producing little trotters. That
has been the one great trouble wit h the
men who have been raising trotting
horses, they have lost sight of every
thing except the speed and the speed
pedigree, and the result in many cases
has been that not one in 25 has been
fit to put on the market to sell for any
kind OF Legitimate use. Get the idea
Of trying 10 raise trotting horses out
of your head; if he can't do anything
but trot you do not want him, because
you would do more harm to Yourself
and your family in a financial and a
moral way than anything you can do
on the farm. But if you have a good
standard trotting mare, and can cross
her with a good French or German
coach or standard bred horse you can
make money in raising coach or car
riage horses. Such horses are SELL
ing all the way from $3.50 to 81 800.
They weigh from 1850 to 1850
pounds, and stand from 1872 to IS
hands high, with all of the style and
nice, easy action that you can get in
horse, not a low shutfiing gait, but
one that gets his feet up and shows
nice knee action and nice hook action.
That will give you an idea of the kind
of horse that l think is advisable for
the farmer to raise. You may have
the very best breeds of either one Of
these kinds, and if you neglect feed
you will have the veriest scrub that
ever grew on a Wisconsin farm.

The wild onion is the bane of the
pastures, but it can be eradicated en-
tirely if attention is given it. One
of the remedies suggested for the
wild onion odor in milk is to stable
the cows about three o'clock and give
hay, allowing their regular food as
usual. The odor will pass off in the
secretlons in three or four hours.
Every season, however, the wild onion
regularly appears and increases, yet
the pests are easily destroyed by pull
ing them up or keeping them cut
down. This may be tedious for
awhile, but pays well in the end.
