TO PRESERVE EGGS.

Have a kettle of boiling water on
the stove, and into that dip the eggs.
Let them remain as long as it takes
you to count ten fast. This recipe has
been in use in my family for forty or
fifty years. The eggs cannot be told
from perfectly fresh eggs, as the hot
water cooks the fine inner skin. and
there can be no evaporation. There
is no taste of lime about them put up
in this way. 1t is a fine thing for
country women who want to hold
for better prices, and also for the city
woman who wants to purchase for fu-
!ture use while eggs are cheap

SENSIBLE CUSTOM.

The American fashion of keeping
pots and kettles and other kitchen

the kitchen is sensible. The Euro

people Of two continents
Less than twenty-five years ago Mrs.
James Fisk, wife of the owner of
the Erie Road and other vast industrial
holdings, was one of the most wealthy
and influential women In New York,
and In absolute control of a fortune In
her own right valued at millions.
James Fisk was at that time, just
previous to his murder by Stokes. the
partner Of Jay Gould, former friend
Of Boss Tweed, one Of the Tammany

financial ruin Of any one unfortunate

She has seen his murderer found

She has seen that verdict revoked, a

sition forfeited by that crime. She has
seen vast fortune dissipated-she has
seen her husbands so-called friends

HOG ROOTINGS

The season of short ribs and fresh
sausage is again with US, the genuine
and not the "embalmed" kind.
1t is too early for the general kill
ing. but fresh pork tastes fine when
the frost is on the punkin."
A timber lot is good place for
hogs at this season when the nuts
are falling.
Hogs must not be too fat to make
the best meat or bring the best price.
Lean meat is in the greatest demand,
and that means more protein food and
less corn. 1t also means longer time
on pasture and shorter in the feeding
pen.
The hams from hogs fattened on
nuts have a delicious flavor that can
not be equaled by any grain fed
hogs.
Pigs that have been kept thrifty
and growing on nutritious and cool
ing grasses are in such a healthy con-
dition that they are able 10 digest
large quantities of feed and utilize
it to the greatest extent.
A pig, out of a PIG, the sire OF

hence the advisability of always Sc
