THE EGGS.
No Other Little Job That Can BE Done
Around the Farm Yields Better
Cash Results.

1t is remarkable how many soiled
eggs may be seen in the country
stores and elsewhere. Many make
no attempt to clean them and many
more do not know how to do it prop
erly when they make the attempt.
Stained and smeary eggs hurt the
sale to a marked degree, as it is not
only a matter of tastefulness, but it
gives the eggs a stale look.
Eggs all of n color and perfect
ly clean make an attractive appear
ance and will readily bring several
cents more per dozen than a dirty
lot, particularly when quality goes
with appearance and the one is gem
orally an indication of the other. An
egg is improperly cleaned when it
is wet too much and not rubbed dry
with a dry cloth. Some, when they
see spots of dirt on eggs put them
in a pan of water and wash them
like potatoes. There is, on the fresh
ly laid egg, a m~ucilaginous covering
which gives it a velvety appearance
peculiar to new eggs. Water re
moves this, making the egg have an
older appearance and destroying it's
keeping qualities, as this covering
makes the shell impervious to air.
An egg, then, if it is not much soiled,
should merely be moistened where
necessary and rubbed dry. If the
blemish is in the nature of a stain. n
little powdered securing brick will
help, and if this is not effective vine
gar may be used in addition. In this
way any stains may be removed from
an egg. Sometimes they have to be
put in water, but do not do it unless
it is necessary, and then rub dry
afterwards. If this is not done thew
will look soiled and dingy. Eggs
should be collected twice or more
times a day.-G. Davis, in Ohio
Farmer.

John Bruce and Clint Pease were

II am soliciting subscriptions for

Now, solicitors of this character
were numerous in that town, and
merchants used to try to dodge
them. since it was not deemed GOOD
policy to refuse to contribute. So
John was considerably pleased with
himself when a happy way out of his
present difficulty suggested itself to
his quick mind.
"You will have to speak to the pro-
prietor about that" said he, politely.
you will find him a very liberal man.
He is back there by the stove"
John grinned as the young woman
approached Clint and stated her case.
"How much + the merchants gem
orally giving?" Clint asked, with
grave interest in the cause.
"Some are giving as much IS a dol

grateful for any sum, however
small"

authority, "give the young lady So

And John, of course, had to do it.
