Preserving Eggs.

With a view of testing the relative
value of lime and salt mixtures and
water-glass as egg preservatives, we
picked about 60 dozen eggs in two lots.
The mixtures were:
No. Lime, fresh, 81 pounds, salt
4S4 pounds, water gallons.
No. 2-Water-g glass, l part water
glass to is parts water.
These eggs remained in the solutions
for about six months. When examined
the water-glass was found to be the
best pickle. although the lime and salt
served its purposes very well; still the
whites of the eggs preserved in this
mixture were much more watery than
the whites of those preserved in the
water-glass. These were difficult to
distinguish from fresh eggs since the
white was quite firm and the yolk stood
up upon it just as though fresh. An
other advantage in the. waterglass is
that IL does not seem to affect the shell
of the egg as the lime mixture. eggs
from the lime and salt mixture being
much more liable to crack, either in
cooking or handling. We consider this
matter of preserving eggs of great i'm
portance in this state since prices are
so high for eggs in the winter season.
We Go not for moment advise the
selling of preserved eggs for fresh laid
but we have no hesitancy in saying
that when the market finds that these
preserved eggs seem almost as good
as the fresh eggs. 1t will certainly be
willing to pay a price which will leave
a good cash margin in favor of pick
ling. Waterglass or sodium silicate

consistency, readily soluble in water.

THE PRESBYTERIAN INSTITUTE.
Its Establishment Has Put Black
shear on a Boom.

Blackshear, Ca, Oct. 5.-The estab-
lishment of the Presbyterian Institute
in our midst, together with the heavy
increase in our manufacturing indus
tries during the past year, has precipi-
tated an unprecedented demand for
houses to rent. Many inquiries are be-
ing received from families at a dis
lance who are DESTROYS of moving here
to educate their children.
Steps are being taken to supply the
demand and already several cottages
are in process of erection.
Proprietor Thomas of the ThNnas
House expects to enlarge. the capacity
of the hotel by the addition of seven
or eight rooms.
Many of our private homes have been
opened the past week to students of
the institute, and every demand has
thus far been met.
Plans are being prepared now for the
permanent home of the institute. It is
proposed to erect large brick struct-
ure for use as school building, and to
contain class rooms large enough to
accommodate 300 students. A dormitory
for boys will be built whens this is
done, the present building will be used
as a dormitory for the girls Great
credit is due the noble-hearted Chris
uan gentlemen VINO have given so lib
orally of their time and means for the
establishment of this splendid school.
South Carolina and Alabama are both
represented in the enrolment of stu
dents, as are many of the nearby coun-
ties.
A Lyceum course for the coming sea-
son is now in process of organization.
The lectures will be given at the Court
House until more suitable place can
be provided.

The FIeecY Angora.

The United States Department OF
Agriculture has just issued farmers
bulletin, No. 1877. 1t is a monograph on
the Angora goat. 1t has number OF
illustrations and gives full information
concerning this valuable animal. The
propagation of the Angora promises to
become very extensive in the South
and the time is not far off probably
when many thousands of them VIII
range the woods and fields of Southern
Georgia. Even now there are many in
quiries for breeding stock, but it is not
easy to procure them. There are plenty
in the far West. but not many east OF
the Mississippi river. 1t cost too much
to bring breeding animals from Texas
or Missouri unless in carload lots.
Most farmers would not care to start
with more than half dozen. 1t would
require considerable capital to start
large breeding farm, but it will pay
whoever undertakes 1t. We would ad-
wise all our readers who own land and
realize the value of pastoral farming
to send for this Angora bulletin and
read up on the merits of this breed of
goats. They will probably become en-
Unused with the idea of goat farming.

We stated that DIR. S. G. Morley had
promised to do the operation for

that Senator Quay has generously Of

seen from the following letter receiv-

Smith and Brown.

An Elberton dispatch to the Augusta
Tribune says: An interesting political
rumor is to the effect that Hon. James
NJ. Smith, Georgia's largest farmer,
will likely enter the gubernatorial race.
1t is known among Mr.. Smiths friends
that he would not be averse to occu-
plying the gubernatorial chair, and they
predict for him very handsome sup
port should he enter the field. 1t is
also rumored that his movements Will
depend upon Hon. Pope Brown. 1t may
be that in the event of Mr. Brown s
resignation to run for Governor Mr..
Smith will be an applicant for hisiposi-
ton on the Railroad Commission. Or,
should Mr.. Brown decide not. TO resign
and not to be a candidate for Govern
or, Mr.. Smith will probably enter the
field. The recent visit of Mr.. Brown
to Mr. Smiths home lends color to
the rumor that something is up. Mr..
Brown and Mr.. Smith are quite friend
". and it is probable that their acts
will be in each others interest.

The Asparagus Rust.

AS many of our readers know this
splendid vegetable (asparagus) has for
several years past been threatened
with determination by fungus dis
ease popularity styled Asparagus
rust" We have several times COM
mented on the probabilities involved
our own asparagus having rusted bad
ly two years in succession. We gave
our method of dealing with the dis
ease.
For the first time in three years this
asparagus is free from rust" 1t IS
now October I'd, and the foliage is
green and healthy-looking. 1t may
rust yet before frost, but it is not prob
able. Last year by the first OF August
it was as yellow as gold.
The present status is encouraging.
Either the rust has run its course or
the lining and burning treatment mas
proved effective.
We would be very glad to have re-
port from any of our readers who are
growing asparagus and to know wheth-
er or not our experience agrees.

Fine Autumn Weather.
1t is not often the case that we have
as fine weather for fall gardening as
we have had this season. For the past
six or eight weeks the rains have been
sufficiently regular and there have
been many cloudy days. Never have
we seen finer weather for such crops as
mature in October-sweet potatoes,
ground peas, sugar cane, for instance
All these crops are splendid where they
have been properly cared for.
The first of October finds the soil in
excellent condition for starting of
grain, clover and grass and for the
hardy crops of the merket garden

There is no excuse for not having tur-
nips this year. This crop should be
fine. That is what the grass crop is.
The late pea crop is the same.

course there is plenty of land that

even in the great Northwest.
But so far as climate is concerned
Georgia can grow wheat as we'll as

of course, when we sow 1t broadcast.
In small way we have grown 1T from
sowings in March, but 1t was sown in

Really this is the only way the small

is true or not. We know whereof we

LITTLE GIRL scALDED TO DEATH

Mr.. and Mrs. K. Richard Lau of
Tampa mourn the death of little
Elizabeth, their child, which was
caused by a tragic accident on last
Tuesday. The child was playing up
on the floor while Mrs. Lau was pre-
pairing the evening meal. She needed
some hot water. and took the kettle,
which was at the boiling point, and
started to move it. The handle was hot
and burned her hand so much that it
caused her to drop the kettle. She
was right directly over the child at
the time, and the water covered il, in
fiicting terrible scalds. Medical aid was
summoned as soon as possible, and ev-
erything possible was done to alleviate
the little ones sufferings and save
her life. The child fingered until about
midnight, when its sufferings were re-
lieved by the soothing touch of the
angel of death.
