Roses in Open Lon1on.

It would be interesting to know the
nearest spot to Fleet street where
roses still blow in the open. That spot

Lostelry which took its name from its
rose gardens. The Temple Gardens
lie open to the sun, broad sweep Of
green turf. edged with fiowery bor-
ders, in which the roses are now shyly
putting forth their leafy shoots. a
passing fancy suggests that some OF
those roses may be the direct descend
ants of the very trees from which

The most simple and efficient method
of preserving eggs for several months
is by covering them with a solution
of water glass. This preparation has
been tested by various experiment sta
tions, and has proved to be the best OF
any methods Yet discovered. except
artificial cold storage. 1t is being
used to some extent in commercial
way. as well as by many farmers and
housekeepers who wish 10 pack away
eggs in spring when they are cheap
and plentiful for use during the fall
and winter months.
Strictly fresh, clean eggs are nec2s-
sary TO put down. Stale or dirty eggs
will not keep well. Eggs should not
be washed. They should be packed,
preferably small end down, in a stone
jar or other suitable vessel. which
should be placed in cool, dark place.
TO ten or fifteen quarts Of water
which has been boiled and cooled, add
one quart water glass Sodium silicate},
which may be obtained of most drug
@ists. \ good grade of water glass
shoGld be used. The vessel should be
kept tightly covered to prevent evap-
Grafton. If the eggs are kept in too
warm a place tie siliclte is deposited
and the eggs are not properly pro-
tectcd. The solution may be prepared.
placed in the jar and fresh eggs add
ed from time to time until the jar is
full, but be sure that there is fully
two inches of the solution covering
the eggs.
The eggs may be taken out from time
to time as needed. They will be COW
cred with jelly-like solution, which
is easily washed off. All packed eggs
contain little gas and in boiling the
shell will crack. This may be pre-.
vented by making a pinhole In the
large end of the egg before cooking.
One farmer in Maine reports preserv-
ing COCO dozen eggs last season by
this method. He sold them in Decem-
Der and January and received the same
price that strictly fresh eggs sold for.
While eggs preserved in this way are
not as good as new-laid eggs, they are
better than the usual run Of fresh
stock to be had at the stores.

Increasing Cotton Crop.

Increasing Cotton crop.
Personally, we believe that large
crops of cotton. as well rs other crops,
| should be grown by making the whole
| land rich through 4 systematic rota-
! ton in which lcgumiEous crops find
their regular place. 1t would lie folly
| to abandon such a rotation i'll order
| to plant more cotton. for fertility Of the
| land must always be of first import
ance to the successful farmer. In this
article, however, we are trying to
point out how best to increase next
| seasons cotton crop. and must take
the land as we find it. While it is I'M
dOubtediy better farming to first build
up the land in order to make BIG
crop. still, this takes time, for which.
in the present instance, we cannot
| wait.
An increase in the amount Of fcrtil-
iZer used per acre will increase the
crop. we know, for we have tried it
We also know that it will yield
handsome margin Of profit. In 1890
we made, with 200 pounds OF fertliZ-
cr per acre. 30 pounds of lint cotton.
while where we applied 500 pounds OF
fertilizer per acre, we made 800
pounds of lint Here 300 pounds Of
additional fertilizer made an increase
of 12J pounds of lint cotton. which is
worth at present prices about SO. 1t
will cost no more TO cultivate an acre
where tie larger amount of fertilizer
is used. 1t gives much larger mar
gin of profit and is, in our opinion, the
most practical way to increase the
crop. If you will look around we think
you will admit that the farmers who
prepared their land best and used the
most fertilizer made the most cotton
the past season.
Now, If we are going to use more
fertilizer, we want it to bring US the
best possible results, and to this end
we must use care in applying it. Open
a furrdV SIX inches deep, and put the
fertilizer in the ground under the seed,
where there will be plenty Of moisture
to dissolve it. Be careful that it does
not come in direct contact with the
seed, as it will be likely to injure them.
Where q large quantity of fertilizer is
used it is best to mix it with the soil
by running through the furrow with
a scooter. We must also be careful
that it does not blow away. and when
applying by hand, should use a tin
guano horn. There are also several
excellent horse fertilizer drills on the
market, which will apply the fertillz-
er more evenly than can be done by
hand.
Whether you plant your cotton IN
the fulrrOw or Oh the bed, be sure your
land is broken deeply and put in good
physical condition so it Will retain
moisture. Plants take up all their food
in a liquid form. and we must have
water to make the fertilizer soluble.
Much can also be done to aid the soil
in retaining moisture by keeping the
crust broken and fine earth mulch
On the surface, thus preventing evap-
Grafton. This, after cultivation. is
just as important as the preparation.
We must learn to cultivate our crops
to make them grow and not simply to
kill grass.
We will make more cotton by plant
ing only what we can fertilize and
cultivate properly than by trying to
increase the acreage.-F. J. Merriam,
Editor of the Southern Ruralist.

Ore Of the Gueerest and most fso-

gray edifice in the valley of Westdale

open belfry and on stormy nights
dreariiy mingles its tones with the

A Susht Disturbances.

Inc fhnute w OOQ Theatrical company
began three nights stand in Dubois &
Gays hall Monday evening. Among the
spectators the first night was Richard Wis
wall Of Roxbury, Mass, a Harvard stu
dent, who is spending the summer here
with his family at the Wiswall cottage,
and he was accompanied by his sister and
two other young ladies.
The party occupied front seats at the
show, and Mr.. Wiswall, who failed to con-
ceal completely his opinion Of the per-
formance, drew upon himself a pointed
reproof from the manager, who requested
him either to get his money at the box
office and take his party from the hall, or
materially alter his conduct.
The rendering OF song, which followed,
was taken by the young man as an inten-
tional rubbing in" OF the reprimand,
and considerably disturbed him. In quite
state Of mind, he started at the conclu-
sion of the last act for the region that does
duty as "green room" and, finding that
the door would not open, sailed through

troupe.
