Preservation of Eggs.

A Southern correspondent writes:
Please send me a good recipe for
preserving eggs"
A 10 per cent. solution of water
glass made by taking one part Of
water glass to nine parts of water
that has been carefully boiled is an
excellent preservative for eggs. The
solution should be put in crooks and
the eggs added every day as they are
gathered until the crock is we'll filled.
Care should be taken to have the
solution cover the eggs to a depth of
at least two inches. Only clean, fresh
eggs should be used. This is a very
important matter
Another good method of preserving
eggs is to make solution by shaking
four pounds of good lump lime, and
while hot stir in two pounds of COM
mon salt When the solution is cool
add five gallons of boiled water. Stir
thoroughly several times the frs. day
and let settle. Decant off the clear
liquid and place the eggs therein as
directed for the water-glass solution.

Close examination showed that the
trees not pruned had less fruit than
the ones pruned.
J. H. Smith has followed non-prun-
ing and medium pruning. However,
he is convinced that pruning is neces-
sary, and now follows the medium
pruning system.
DEPRESSING for a moment from Our
subject, I will say that this section
is a beautiful level prairie, rendered
more beautiful by the cape jasmine
This beautiful and fragrant flower is
scattered from one end of the United
States to the other by the Alvin for
lists. [ once saw field of 200 acres
in full bloom, and it is a common
sight to see fields Of from one to
three acres
Our last stop was at the lovely
home of the Misses Cook and Cook.
These young ladies informed us that
they were both "Cooks," and proved
it by producing some as fine cake as
I have ever eaten. Here we found
a dozen or more bright young boys
and girls, busily engaged picking and
getting ready to ship the cape jasmine
buds. Alvin takes the lead in this
pleasant and profitable industry.
While at the Farmers Congress
met R. w. Holbert, industrial agent
of the J. c. Carpenter Fig Company,
headquarters at Houston, Tex In
speaking on this subject, he tells me
that from 1891 to 1893 very few fig
orchards were planted, but about this
time few small growers saw that
the fruit and shipping it to the far
north, as this could not be done with
the fresh fruit owing to the perisha-
bic qualities of it. At Alvin, how
ever, where the magnolia fig is al
most exclusively grown, Mr.. Coye
tells me that the commission house
in Houston buys all his figs fresh and
he cannot supply the demand. Mr..
Holbert further tells me that the de-
mand for preserving figs is growing,
and It is at present one of the most
paying industries of South Texas.
Great improvements have been made
in the art of preserving figs, and the
demand is greater than the supply.
Six years ago Mr.. J. C. Carpenter
was a lawyer and banker in Kansas
and had never seen a fig tree. He
came to South Texas and embarked
in the growing of figs. He has made
a grand success and is doing a great
work in this line He initiated the
packing of the "Skin1ess Preserved
Figs has started plants at several
points, and has just completed a plant
at Alvin, Texas.
Mr.. Stockwell and others tell me
that the demand for fig trees is rapid
ly growing, and that at least 100000
magnolia fig trees will be sold this
year In a short time I promise an
article telling Of citrus fruits and other
products of South Texas.
