Chinese Method of Preserving Eggs.

Chinese Method of Preserving Eggs.
The charm oc lightly boiled fresh
egg is an unknown quantity to the
palate Of the Celestial, which only rec
ognizes eggs when hard boiled and
much prefer them advanced in age.
For ordinary use, especially as light
diet for invalids, eggs are simply pre-
served by being stepped in salt water
mixed with either SCOT or red clay, in
which they are baked when required.
But the truly refined process is to pre-
pare a solution Of wood asnes, lime
and salt mixed with water in which
some aromatic herb has been boiled.
This paste is run into tub and the
newly laid eggs are therein embedded
in layers.
The tub is hermetically sealed, and
at the end Of forty days the eggs are
considered fit for use. but at the end OF
forty years they will be still better!
They become black throughout, owing
to the presence OF the lime. But the
white becomes gelatinous, and "the
whole tastes rather like plovers' eggs
hard boiled" says one who had the
courage to try them. AS the value of
this dainty increases with age the Chi
nese epicure discriminates between
the eggs OF successive decades, treat

The Quality of Hay.


The proper harvesting and preserya-
tion Of the hay crop has great in
f1uence on dairying, especially winter
dairying.
A wise and consequently successful
dairyman is always looking ahead q
year or more, and making his plans ac-
cordingly.
He knows that because hay as
winter food for COWS is tabooed by
some is due to the reason that it is
improperly cured and stored in the
summer.
If we could only nave weather made
to order during haying much better
quality fodder than the average would
result.
However, even with the most favor
able weather conditions, some farmers
would never have good hay.
They harvest it tco expeditiously,
and then pack the imperfectly cured
! grass into tight barns, where the e1-
! cess moisture it contains results later
in musty OF smoky" hay.
The bulk of the hay crop in the
to latitude prior to the middle of July,
| and it has long been considered as a
rushing season of work.
With modern machinery the ease
| and rapidity with which the crop can
be handled tempts the farmer to i'm
/! perfect curing, and this is point that
wish to speak about.
| Do not put damp hay into large
mows or stacks. If the grass con-
| tains an admixture of clover, after a
| few hours sun in the swath, cure it IN
cocks capped if necessary against any
possibility of rain.
/ The idea is to get the moisture pret-
ty we'll out of the hay before it has
been stored away in Dulk, and yet
not let it become TOO dry and bleached
by too much sun.
/ The so called Sweating" process
| that freshly cured hay passes through
being simply the evaporation Of ex
cess moisture, should take place under
conditions in which air can freely Cir
culase through it.
Ry this plan fresh sweet hay car
be fed out to the COWS in winter, re
su,ting in an increased milk flow an(
augmented dairy profits.
The principal reason that hay ha'
fallen into such disrepute as feed fo
GARY COWS is because there is so mucl
Icor hay fed.

HORSE MEAT EATEN IN AUSTRIA
An Increasing Demand For It Among the
Poorer Classes.

Poorer Classes.
According to United States Consul
General Hurst at Vienna, the con-
sumption of horse meat in Vienna as
an article of food is rapidly increas-
ing. In report to the State Depart
ment he shows that in 1899 25,646
horses and ffty-eight donkeys were
slaughtered for food. This was 1000
more than in the previous year and
about 5000 more than in 1897. He
says:
THE comparatively high prices OBJ
tanned in Vienna for beef, mutton and
pork put these meats beyond the daily
reach Of the poorer classes, who are
most taxed by hard labor, and are
obviously in need OF siren ngth-givins.

per pound Of forequarter from FIVE tor
eight cents; hindquarter, six to nine.
cents; choice cuts for steak and roast.
from five to eleven cents; the same
cuts in beef averaging from twenty

horse meat is also worked up into

Poachinr in Germany.

In Germany and Austria a pcacheF
is known as "game thief" and q
''game thief is looked upon just as ff
he were thief who steals anything
else. This social boycott rules not
only among the better classes. but
among the poorest. This fact, added
to the stern and remorseless criminal
punishment that awaits the poachers
has reduced "game stealing" to .
minimum, and only the most desper>
ate and reckless element of the popu-
lation inclines to it. In addition there
is practically no market for poacher
to sell his game.
The result is that there are few
poachers comparatively. but those few
are prepared at any time to fight hard
for their liberty, and no year passes
without scores of battles between
these men, who are good shots as q
rule, and the game wardens and for
