Preserving Eggs.

Several readers ask me about the water-glass
method of keeping summer-laid eggs for winter
use. A very simple thing, indeed. Just at this time
/ only regret not having laid Town more eggs in
the same way. You won't catch me again with.
out a full supply of eggs in January. Lately we
have been using our stock on hand pretty freely
p~oaching and frying them, and enjoying them just
as we would strictly fresh eggs. If taken out of
the solution and kept for some time they are said
to soon spoil. I don't know about this, not having
tried it, but there is no need of taking them out
much sooner than they are wanted for use. Buy
water-glass, or ~silicate of soda, a mucilaginous, or
syrupy liquid, which any druggist will furnish
you, charging probably forty cents or more a
quart. Reduce this with ten parts of water 4
boil the latter frst), and fill a large crock one
third or one-half full. As the eggs. are freshly
gathered from day to day they are dropped into
the liquid, where they settle to the bottom. Be
sure that you have liquid enough in the crock to
keep all the eggs covered. That is all there is to
it.-Selected.

Roup: How to Treat It.

for my chickens. They have an eye disease. Roos-

eight hens have gone the same way. Their eyes

Your chickens are suffering from roup due to
various causes, principal among which are, roost-
ing in damp, poorly ventilated houses, or-worse
still-roosting in trees. The word roup is proba-
bly, derived from Group, an inlammatory disease
of the air passages. 1t is not a difficult thing for
cold to generate into roup, and it is one of the
worst enemies that fowls are heir to. The only
sure remedy is the axe and this should be applied

Vaccination for Bovine tuberculosis.
CASTOR Co., n. @.

Messrs. Editors "A great deal of careful scien-
tifc work has been done in relation to the pro-
lection of cattle against tuberculosis by vaccina-
ton. Unfortunately, the vaccination of cattle
against tuberculosis may now be thrown into dis
repute THROUGH the reckless and untrue claims of
a firm of druggists in New York City, that is at
tempting to introduce on a large scale an almost
of cattle. This firm is sending letters in large
numbers to breeders. As the thing is misleading
and is likely to cause great harm to animal hus-
bandry, I hope your readers will govern them
selves by this warning.
My knowledge of the foreign work upon which
the claims of the druggists in question are based
has been gained not only by a thorough study of
all the literature upon this subject, but also by
visiting and studying ON the ground almost every
vaccination experiment that has been conducted
in Europe.
Very truly yours,

State Veterinarian, Harrisburg, Pa.

Farm Leases.

AS it has a way of doing, the time of the year
for making new farm leases has come around;
and, as is usual, it is a time of trial to mems
souls. AS long as farms must be leased, this will
continue to be true.
What ought the men who rent farms do when
this crisis comes? What ought the renter do
when it comes to drawing up the papers?
just four things ought to be kept in mind when
making farm leases: First, be fair; second, be
fair; third, be fair; and fourth, put it all down
in writing.
In fact, nine-tenths of the trouble that men
have with their neighbors in this world, and per-
haps we might say one-half of the other tenth,
comes from lack of perfect fairness on some ones
part; and all the rest comes from neglecting to
have the bargain written Down by some man who
is competent to do such work, and who has IN
bounded patience to listen and to write.-E. L.
Vincent, in the Farm Journal.

termination Test.

Last spring, in testing our seed-corn, when
there was plenty of time, we tried a new method.
Instead of spreading the grains Unfortunately
over the damp cloth, we ruled it first with one
hundred spaces; these we numbered from one up.
A hundred ears of corn were then laid side by
side in one long row. Two grains were taken
from ear No. lone grain from each side of the
ear-and these grains were placed in the square
No. 1. The whole number of ears were tested in
the same manner. When time had been allowed
for termination the grains made a very inter
sprouts and a mesh of ~rootlets, another pair weak
er ones, while here and there a pair of grains lay
side by side with no evidence of life. By this
method we were able to pick out the separate
ears showing strong terminating power. The
worthless ears could be excluded.-Geo P. Will
iams.
