EGG PRESERVATION.

There is hardly a housewife but Is interested in an effective method of preserving eggs-the keeping of them from midsummer, when they are worth but F cents a dozen, through the winter, when they are likely to De p or 30 cents. To such some ex- periments ill egg preservation conduct ed by the Rhode Island experiment station will be of interest One lot of twenty fresh laid eggs were placed in a solution composed of one part of water glass and nine parts of boiled Tatc:. about the middle of May. When they were taken out, ten months late~, all were found to be good and suitable for table use. All of a second lot packed in common table salt were found spoiled at the end of the period. A third lot placed in solution male by stirring one pound of quicklime and one-half pound of table salt in four quarts of boiled water and using the clear liquid after the solution had settled were all good at the end of the ten months period, although the whites tasted slightly of salt absorbed from the solution. Either of the suc- cessful methods described is ineX- pensive and practical for any house wife. A fact that should not be over looked in the experiments conducted
 is that perfectly fresh eggs were used.

FEEDING BREEDERS.

Too much stress can hardly be placed upon the kind of ration which should be given the COW before calving, the mare before the birth of her colt, the SOW before farrowing and the sheep before lambing. With all too many stock raisers the idea seems to prevail that most any kind of care during the period of pregnancy will do, when, as a matter of fact, the very opposite is the case. If the dam is in poor condi- ton before the birth of her young, there is not only likelihood of serious damage to her as a result of her weakened and overtaxed condition, but the young when born are not in a vigorous condition, but start out in life seriously handicapped. If farm animals are to be favored at any time, let 1t be during the season mentioned, when so much depends upon their be- ing kept in the best condition.

Where the field of alfalfa has run out somewhat and the weeds have come in and yet the owner does not wish to blow it up, there is no better treatment than giving the field a thor ough disking. This seems trifle harsh, but it will kill many of the weeds which infest the field and will not seriously injure the roots of the alfalfa.

Wine producers of southern France, numbering up into the hundreds of riotous lately because of a serious deca- deuce In their grape growing industry, brought about by the extensive adul- iteration of vinous beverages permitted by the French government and the extensive use of German beers as a substitute for wine by many people of the country. While pure food law might result in stopping the adultera- ton of French wines, it looks very much as though the thing that would most greatly help the French grape grower would be a diversified agri- culture in which grape culture would be only a part. -...

by the resignation from the German Naval
League Of Prince Rupprecht OF Bavaria. VINO

TRIAL BEGINS.
Pleads Not Guilty to Needtessty
iSurrendc,7ng Port arthur.

ST. Petersburg, Dec. 10.-Lieutenant General
Stoessel placed on trial this morning to
answer with his life and reputation for the loss
of Port Arthur on January ], 1905 With con-
fdent manner he pleaded not guilty TO the
charge of needlessly surrendering the fortress
and thereby humiliating the Russian army
The trial is being held in the auditorium of the
Army and Navy Club. The other accused OFF,
GERS are Generals Fock. Reiss and Smirnoff-
The court was convoked at noon by Vice-Ad-
miral Doubassoff. and the entire afternoon was
taken up with the reading of the Voluminous
and detailed indictment. The accusations
against the general are disobeying General
Kuropat tkin's order to hand over the command
of the fortress to General Snirnof. suspendlnE
the construction of the second and third lines OF
defence, countenancing ironical and often abu-
sive reports written by General Fock concern
ing various officers IN charge of the defence. and
sending false reports to General Kuropatkin and
Admiral Alexier regarding the battle OF Tsin
Chau. May. 1904.
General F'ock is charged with disobeying Cen
eral Stoessel's orders to defend Tsin Chau to the
last extremity General Reiss. as Chief Of the
General Staff. is charged with cognizance Of
General Stoessel's intention to surrender Fort
Arthur, exaggeratinE the straits of the fortress
before the military council urging the useless
ness of further resistance and advocating capit-
ulation, sending letter TO General NoEi pro-
posing negotiations for the surrender OF the
fortress and signing the Japanese terms at
Shushin without obtaining definite instructions
from General Stoessel. The indictment charges
General SmirnoH with falling to remove Cen
eraI Fock from his command. although he sus-
pected the agreement between Generals Stoesse1
and Fock to surrender the fortress
1t is generally understood that Stocssel is in
possession of a weighty weapon in the shape OF
a telegram received by him before tho surrender
of Port Arthur. in which the Emperor said;
Don't push the defence 10 oxtremities. mean
ing for him TO spare the lives OF the Russian
soldiers when their power Of resistance was ex-
