BEST EGG PRESERVATIVE.
Lard Is Now Preferred by Many For
eien Experts.

Italian and French experts have Of
as an egg preservative is to be highly
commended. DR.. Campanini, an Italian
! agricultural authority. after reviewing
! the various known means of preserv-
! ing eggs-by salt water. limewater,
! silicate of potash, vaseline and cold
storage - described his lard expert
ments, which showed better results
than all others. His theory is that to
preserve eggs some system must be
adopted that will absolutely prevent
the exchange between the air outside
and the inside Of the egg. for it Is this
continual exchange that causes putre- |
faction. Or. Campanini selected per |
fectly fresh eggs and covered them .
with lard so as c1ectually to stop up |
all the pores The shells were thus
rendered impermeable. and the ex-
change Of air was prevented. the OBJ
struction Of the pores not permitting
the evaporation of the water.
The whites and ycllows of the eggs
retained their colors perfectly, ard the
taste was not modified in the slightest
degree. When properly caked with
lard, not too thickly. the eggs are put
IN baskets or boxes oil a bed Of tow or
ine odorless shavings and 50 arranged

between them; otherwise mold will

My One Breeder Prefers RambouiI-

While the man "a is going in for

adapted to the soil and climate of his
locality, the experience Of F. G. Scott
Of New Hampshire may prove Of
value. Mr. Scott prefers the Ram
bouillets, and he tells why as follows:

They also flock closely together III
pasture, which is a commendable trait.
This is especially desirable if the
pasture has many bushes In it, as all
the sheep are easily located. The

be examined once in awhile. Some
times a few stones will fall out and
leave a hole large enough for sheep

ably good crops. This does not mean
however, that the stand might not
have been made better and the crop
larger had these same farmers given
more care to the selection, storing and
treatment Of their seed corn.
The condition of corn in the spring
of 1908 that had stood during the win
ter in shock or crib emphasizes In a
striking way the risks that are run In
using seed that has not been properly
saved. OF large number Of ears test
ed at the Michigan Agricultural col
lege for vitality those selected from
the shock invariably produced an ex-
ceedingly low number Of examinations
More than 80 per cent Of the ears pro-
duced no termination whatever, and
Of those that did show vitality Il was
rare that 100 per cent Of the kernels
germinated. The conditions under
which corn passed the winter were ex-
ceedingly bad, but even with the best
conditions there are influences, such as
freezing molding and the like. which
Of necessity tend TO reduce the vitality
Of the corn.
The ear should be selected while 1t
still remains on the standing stalk. /
The stalk should be Of good size, with |
considerable foliage. The position Of /
the ear should be considered II too /
low it Is apt to mature late. 1t is the
opinion of the college experimenters
that Increased yields are secured by |
the judicious selection Of seed from
stalks bearing two ears. The ideal ear
should be cylindrical not tapering. Ex-
perlence teaches that rough top kernels
are best
The selected ears should be placed
where they will dry I'm the shortest
reasonable time, and various methods
have hecn employed for this purpose.
There Is no better method from the
standpoint of efficiency than the old
