Numerous methods of preserving eggs
are in use, says Field and Farm. The
Idea of all of them Is to keep out the
air so that oxygen decay may be arrest
ed for considerable length of time. es-
pecially II the eggs are perfectly fresh
at the start and are kept in cool, dark
place. The standard method most Used
by spectators and dealers is to put
eggs in lime water. The process is as
follows, this recipe having been widely
sold at 50 under pledge of secrecy. Take
two gallons of water, twelve pounds of
unslaked lime and four pounds of salt,
or in that proportion, according to the
quantity of eggs to be preserved. Stir
several times daily and then let stand
until the liquid has settled and is per-
fectly clear. Draw or carefully dip off
the clear liquid, leaving the sediment
at the bottom. Take five ounces each
of baking soda, cream of tartar, salt
peter and an ounce of alum. PulveriZe
and mix these and dissolve in one gal
Ion of boiling water and add to the
mixture twenty gallons of pure lime
water. This will about fill cider bar
rel. 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
barrel head little smaller upon them
and weighing it. This amount of
liquid will preserve $50 dozen eggs 1t
is not necessary to wait to get full
barrel or smaller package of eggs, but
can be put in at any time If fresh. The
same liquid should be used only once.

sabcock Not Weakening.


1t seems that certain Washington
dispatch which stated that Representa-
live Babcock of Wisconsin had weak
ened in his position on the tariff ques.
ton did that gentleman serious injus-
tice.
In an interview in Chicago Monday
he is reported as saying, word for
world:
when any article can be manufac-
tured in the United States cheaper than
anywhere else and is an article of ex-
port the dufy produces no revenue and
affords no protection, but simply ena-
bles those who secure control to make
such prices rs they see fit in the do
nestle market up to Il point where it
can be imported"
Mr.. Babcock is careful to say that he
is a protectionist, but he insists that
duties on such articles rs he refers to In
the foregoing utterance DO not protect
industries in their infancy. but support
monopolieS. He gives us to understand
distinctly that he wants no duties on
any such articles. though he says that
for the present lie is concentrating his
attention upon the steel schedule.
The point which is made prominent
In this Interview is that Mr.. Bnbcock
shows no disposition to abandon his
attack on this particular schedule, but.
on the contrary, plainly intimates that
he intends not only to persist in this
attack, but to follow it up with attacks
on other articles in the same category;
that he means to fight tariff for monop-
oily only wherever he finds IT. Chicago

What effect does Il change of mixers
have on the yield of COWS? This de-
ponds both on the cows and on the
mixers. A comparison of the daily av-
erage of nine COWS was recently made
in the Kansas Agricultural College; the
average yield both before and after a
change of mixers showed that there
was practically no difference. In both
eases only one out of the three regular
mixers was changed. At election time
last November all the regular mixers
We're absent from three to seven milk
ings, and the regular routine of work
was of course more broken up than II
only one mixer had changed The to-
tai yield for the herd was consldera-
bly, less for this period, and the yield
In individual cases dropped nearly one
half in seven milkings. The more ner-
vous the cows the more they Were af-
fected. A continual change of mixers
would mean more or less irregularity in
the manner of handling the herd and Is
not advisable. Again, good mixers are
scarce, and the change is likely to pro-
duce poorer for the better hand

Using Limo Inte,1ieent1y.

The testimony on the part of farmers
to use lime without much regard to the
condition of the soil is wrong Where
the soil Is plainly acid in character as
shown by tests with blue litmus paper
the use of lime, In quantities sufficient
to reduce the acidity of the soil, is adj
vocatcd, but its continued use year af-
ter year is not in the line of progressive
agriculture unless the crops are such
us to demand lime in greater or less
quantities during the season. OF course,
this can only be known by actual tests.
for while in one soil currants, barley,
oats. onions and other plants. which
are benefited by the application of lime
in n general way, will respond freely
to the lime treatment, in other soils
they would not be benefited, but might
be injured. The blue litmus paper test
referred to consists in placing n small
piece of blue litmus paper, obtainable
ut any drug store, in n crack in the
soil made by the blade of spade and
leaving it there for twentyfour hours;
If the soil Is acid and needs lime the
paper will turn red. This should be
the general guide in the use of lime on
farms where miscellaneous lot of
crops are grown.-Indianapoli News.

The change from n year ago Is very
considerable and due largely to the adj
vance in breadstuffs growing out of
the short harvests. But in all groups
save clothing and "other food" there
has been an upward tendency to prices
until now the family must pay SOFIA
for what could have been bought 4
year ago for $91.20, and in 1897 for
only S72.45. General commodity prices
for this period of four years Of bust
ness revival are now at the highest
point.
To people considered simply as con-
sumers this change is n very serious
one. The net advance of prices in the
four years amounts to "a per cent. The
cost of living is third higher than 1t
was. The dollar of account has been
proportionately reduced in buying pow
er or debased. The fixed income, wage
and salary, where nominally unchang-
ed, have been greatly cut down. Where
wages have been increased only 10 to
% per cent, there has still been re-
duction in reality. But In vast num-
bers of cases there has been no In
crease in nominal wages. and hence a
very large decrease in real wages

Those people who consider milking
irllsome will never make good dairy
men.
The dairy woman who churns before
''sun UP" In the morning often makes
firm grained butter without the use Of
ice.
The reason some farmers never ex-
tract the latent gold in dairy COWS is
that they persist in looking to the grain
and corn fields for it.
1t is parody on cleanliness to try to
strain filth out of milk when it might
have been obviated by the exercise Of
the most ordinary precautions.
Despite all of the laws to the con-
trary, skinned cheese is yet sold for
full cream" and oleomargarine for
real butter Where is the remedy?
1t is curious fact, and yet true, that
some of the most profitable moments
any one engaged in dairying can spend
are in repeated washing of the hands.
While 1t pays TO raise good hogs in
conjunction with the dairy. 1t never has

keep the swine quartered near a cheese

The Canal Prospect.

1t is stated that new treaty has
been negotiated in reference to the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty and the 18TH
milan canal, and that President Roose-
welt is distinctly in favor of ratifying
it. This document Is said to unite our
hands and facilitate our digging of
canal, il not our ownership and control.
In view of this neis hborly act it is sug-
gested that our tritling differences with
regard to the Alaskan frontier might be
settled by corresponding concession.
A Canadian correspondent of the Lon
don Times informs that journal that
the joint high commission, which was
originally appointed to settle large
number of questions in controversy be-
tween the United States and Canada,
will probably sit again during the COM
ing autumn; and in Washington it is
understood that an effort will be made
to outline basis for the proposed recip-
! rocal trade convention. 1t is admitted
In Washington that reciprocity treaty
with Canada would be of enormous
general advantage to the United
States, for, while 1t would open new
markets for manufactures, it would
also leave open the channels through
which many millions of dollars worth
of farm products and raw materials of
various kinds have found an outlet. No

SLIDING Sugar Beet..

1t Is the custom In some localities to
haul sugar beets to the factory II pos
sible when harvested, and IL 1t is not
possible to do this they are gathered
and placed in long ricks or piles on the
surface of the ground. The base of
these ricks or piles is from 3 to 3ia feet,
with height of 3 TO 4 feet. tapering to-
ward the top. Along each side of these
ricks several burrows are run with
stirring plow in order to loosen the
dirt. The ricks are then completely
covered with this dirt by the aid of
shovels. This covering is put on 10 the
depth of about 6 inches, occasionally
air spaces or ventilators being left on
the tops of the ricks, which are usually
made by the use of thing or small elon-
gated wooden boxes or simply straw,
the purpose being to prevent fcrmenta-
tion.
Storing the beets in this way is call
cd SLIDING. and the ricks or piles are
called silos. In case severe cold wealth
er comes on, these silos are covered
with straw manure, straw or some
thing of that sort, and then an addi-
sional amount Is thrown on the straw
covering. In this way it has been
found that the beets will keep in very
good condition until the last of -Janu-,

Frequently the farmer wishes to feed
a given weight of this, that or the other
stuff and has no scales at hand to
weigh it. II he has quart measure
handy, he can use 1t to measure out
the required weight. The quart weight
of various feeds is as follows:
Cottonseed meal, 10 pounds; linseed
meal, old process, IL pounds; gluten
peil, Ii pounds; gluten feed, IL
pounds: wheat bran, coarse, 3 pound;
wheat middlings, coarse, IS pound. and
fine, IL pounds: mixed wheat feed, g
pound. cornmeal, 10 pounds: oats, L.
pounds; rye bran, IS pound; Fl. o. dairy
feed, = pound, and Victor corn feed, q
pound per quart. These weights are
worked out by the Connecticut experi-
ment station. With these equivalents
at hand the feedman may know where
he is at when he desires to feed by

Cool Cnrs of stock Pays

Never try TO lay up a big bank ac-
count by raising scrub stock, says the
Farmers Advocate. If you have good
grade of stock and cannot afford to buy
one or more thoroughbreds, you can
make your grade stock better by liberal
feeding and good care. Stunning young
stock, though they may be thorough
breds, will In Il short time reduce them
to worse than scrubs. because scrubs
are never used to and do not receive
but very ordinary care. The thorough
bred does expect liberal feeding and
good care, and will degenerate without

Jules Verne, in spite or the fact that
SO many of his books relate to dolngs
in foreign parts, has travelled very lit
tie. When he is going to write story
and has settled the scene of 1t he sets
to work to read up books relating to
that particular part of the world. Per
haps it is just as well that he is not de-
pendent, as so many novelists are, on
visiting different countries before de-
scribing them. as otherwise he would
have been compelled to travel to the
moon and journey both in the depths of
the sea and the bowels of the earth.
Jules Verns once owned yacht, but
he never got beyond the Mediterranean
in it, though he is intensely fond of the
