TO PACK EGGS FOR WINTER.

Egg are expensive in winter and
though we pay high prices for
"fresh eggs" they are usually fresh
from cold storage. Here is a method
Of packing your own:
Get fresh eggs just laid, along
about the last Of September. Take
a four-gallon earthenware jar; put
a two-inch layer of salt in the bot
tom then stand each egg with small
end down in the salt until the bot
tom is filed. Then keep on filling
till jar is full. Do not add any
more salt, for it will harden and the
eggs will break in getting them out.
The salt that is used is only for the
foundation.

He took from the foot of a wood

was a seed of the load rust. He
planted the seed. and L terminated
and lowered. Prof. Newton sent
him the leg of a partridge which
had been wounded and unable to fly.
Attached to it was a clod of earth
weighing 612 ounces. He broke up
the clod and placed it under a bell
glass. No fewer than 50 plants
sprang from it. 1t is the more in
teresting to know that the clod Of
earth containing this treasury was
kept three years before planting.
1t is believed in this manner seeds
Of various trees have been carried
and deposited on far-away islands
