Tho inveBtiuatiou waa coramcncod lttst Septctnbcr, perfeotly frosh oggs from tho farrn poultry houso bolng used for tho lcst, which consistod in immorBing tho oggs for vnrylug longlhs of tlme, from a fow hours to slxmontha in (a) llmo wntor, and (b) tcn per ccnt eolution of "wator glnss.'' Thoso oggs which wero trentod for a fow hours, claya or wcoks, ns tho caao mlght bo, woro Bubacquoutly placed, togothor with tho untrented oggs to bo used as a chcck, in a rnck wlthin a drawor in tho lnboratory, till tho cloao of tho ex pcrimont, Murch 30th, 1809. AU tho eggs woro at a tempereturo from 05 to 72 F. throunhout tho trial. Tho tcsting consieted in brcaking tho eggs into a glasa and noting tho ap pearanco of tho white and yolk, whethcr tho yolk waa atuck to tho ehcll, sizo of nir spnce, odor, otc. Tho cggB wcro thon poachcd and again tho odor, appearanco otc, noted. Wlth out glving in dotail tho rcBults of tho varioUB triala, it mny buAIco for presont purpoacB to summarizc tho conclusions roached, as followe: 1. In no inBtance, either of trcatcd or untreated oggs, woro any "bad" egpa found. 2. In all caacs whero tho oggs woro not kopt covercd throughout tho por iod of tho tcBt with tho prcservative Bolution, ahrinkago of tho contonts had taken place, aa aliown by tho larger air spaco, tho less globular form of tho yolk, and in many iuatanccs by tho ad horoncc of tho yoko to thc ahell. Tho cl'L's treated for ecven tlavs and leaa with limo water showed aomowhat lcsa Bhrinkogo than thoae trcatod a similar loncth oi time witti sincaio ot eoun. 3. It would appoar that limo wator and "water glass" uaed continuouely aro cqually efllcaciouB in prcventing Bhrinkage. Thoy may also bo said to givo practically tho samo rcBUlts as ro garda both external and internal ap nearaucea, flavor, etc , of tho eggs pro aerved. Sinco "water glasB1' (ailicato. of Boda) ib moro coatly and inoro dia- Bcreenblc to uso than limo water. wo could not from the preaent rosultB rec ommend tho formor aa tho bettor pre- sorvative. 4. The albumen or "white" in all the preaerved eggs waa very faintly vellow (ibougli not to the Eame aegroe in all the egg), the tint becoming deeper on boiung. 5. jno ouensive odor waa to be por- ceived from any of tho eges when broken, but in all instances a faint but peculiar musty or stalo odor and flavor dcvcioped on poacning. 6. It is probablo that no preaerva tion will prevent the loas of flavor pos- BeBBed by tho freah ege, but thoae which whoily excludc the air (and thus, at tno same timo, prevent annnkage irom evaporation) wlll be tno most Buccesa ful. ContinuouB aubmergence is evi- dently better than treatment for a few dave. "Water elaBs" known chemically aa Bilicate of aoda, is a fluid quoted at C0 centa per gallon. It is higbly cauatic, due to exceaa ot soda, and conaequont ly ia moro disagreeable to uso than lime water. The limo water may bo made by put- ting two or thrco pounda or good, frcsh lime in fivo gallouB of water, stirring well at intervalo, for a few houra, and then ailowed to aettle. The clear su pernatant fluid can then bo pourcd over tue eggs, tviiich have been pre viously placed in a crock or water tight barrel. Sorno autboritiea rccdm mend tho addition of a pound or ao of Balt to the lime water, but the writera are of tho opiinon that thia ia unnecea sary, and probably leada to the impart ing of a limey llavor to the cgg8 by in- ducing an lntercnango ot the lluida within and without the egg. The all eBaential points to be remem bered are: 1. Thut tho oggB to be pre aerved shall bo perfectly frosh, and 2 That they Bhall bo covorod with tho preaervative fluid. Hoard's Dairy- man.

A stool, liko all othor farm and dairv implementa, ahould be made light as poBBible, and at tho aame time bavo tho neceaaary atrcngth.

If tho stools aro not to bo uaed ior pounding tbo cowb, tho logs maybo of pine, which ia lichtcr than oak. It has boon aaid that "cloanlincaa ia next to godlinoaa." Sorno cows aro ao foolish, or wickcd, that thoy will not kecp themselves clean, no matter how well thoy may bo boddcd,or how much paltis aro taken with thera. Thoy wlll stop down into tho guttcr with thoir hind foct, and then bnck on to thc iloor of tho stallB with thoir foot smoar ed with cxcrement. Even whon in stauchiona thoy will hutup thcmsclvcs up, Bhorton thoir bodios enough 10 dung in tnotr Btaua, and tnon no cio-vii in it.

Thero should bo a bruali or hand-broom, but a cloth will do. II a cow haa bofoulod horaolf with uxcni- mont, sho must bo washid and wiptd. I think that moat milkera, knowing a thoy do, that thoy muat oat aud drink from tho product8 of their paila, uro caroful to kcop thoir tnilk clcan, but Irequont inatruction and ovoraight on tho part on tho head of tho catabliah mom may bo neceaaary. Milking ia hard work whou perform cd rapidly, aa it ahould bo, to obtaiti tho beat rcsults. When tho milking ib continued for &u uuusual lcngth of time, sorno cows bccomo impatlont or rcBtlesa and do not yiold their full me8B. A elow milkor will dry cowa up. Tho moat provoking thing a milkor ha to cnduro ia tho awitching of tho cow's tail, hitting him in tho face and oyca, when milking. Of courao, this Ib done moatly in (ly timo, in flghting (lica, but from forco of habit cowb coutinuo this annoyancc long aftor the ilics havc all diaappoared. It ia douo apparontly Irom norvouaueaB, or uncontciouaneas, and not to inault tho milker. When over an unusual motion iB mado, or oven chaugiug the hauda from ono teat to another. tho blow ia auro to como. Of courso, tying tho tail to tho cow's lcg will provcnt tho annoyauco, atiu not many cowa will rosent it by kick lug, but in fly timo eho will havo to Btamp to acare the flica from ber lega, and throw ber heau around to drivc them from her aidea. Ab it takea timo to tio and untio a cow's tail, my prac tice ia to place the ond of the tail uu- der my left leg at tho knoe jolnt, draw back tho log to torm a Kinu ot v.se, iinu then to mako it moro 8ccure by putting tho tip botwecn the pail aud my kueu, tho pail being alwaya held betweeu my knees. Practical Dairyman. Cows. Cowb. at thia timo of vear are aub- jectod to two great triala, flies and beat. JSvery paature tieiu anouiu do ao planued that the cowa can flnd ample ahado when they wiah to.

While tho heat is Bome thine we want for the development of cropa which are to bo used later on in the dairy barn, wo do not want to over look tho fact that cowa will pay their owner a nicer proflt if ho will protect them m sorno way trom tho heat ot the buu during the middle of tho day. Sorno mon have buiit large ahado houaea for stock, or at leaat that ia what thev uso them for in tbo aummer time. In winter thoy uso the building for a fccding place. One in mind is built only six feet high. FoBts aro sot in the grouud, poloB aro laid on them and then covercd with atraw or stalka. This not only serves as a shade for the stock in tho summer, and protection from atorma in the winter, but it makea ono of the beat protectiona for tho ma- nure. On sorno farms the waBto of manuro is ono of tho leaks which causcs peoplo tosay: "Dairying doea not pay." If a portion of alf the cropa from tho farm aro convcrtcd into manure, aud it ia ailowed to waate in the yards, it muat be cxpectcd that dairying will not pay. The purposo ot most men who are dairying ia to add platit food to tbo eoil. This can beat be done with tho dairy. Uran is one ol tho constituonta of tho cow'a daily rationa, or should be; and iuat coiiBidcr that after it has been con8umed by the cows, a ton ia worth over SG.00 for the rcbuilding of eoil that ia delicieut in plant food. We do not have to havo a vory large pilo of manuro in tho barnyard to have sover- al huudrcd dollars worth. Can wo let thia go to wbbu? AVould not this mako tho diffcrence betwecn success ful and unsucceaaful dairying? Prac tical Dairyman. A llaill lllt.

A curlous frult has been dlacovered growlng wlld In Batnvln, and a sani ple has been sent to a Frcnclf profes sor of bntany ln I'arls. It appeara to be a specle of bean, resembllng a ci gar both in form and color, though on ly nbnut an lnch in length. Ituf it has a peculiar charaeterlstlc. which repders it a nninue and interesting object, nnd this is tlie exceedingly energetlc inan ner ln which It scatters its seeds.

It ls hnrdly necessnry to sny that this phenomenon is cnttKod by the pressuro of the olastic substance of its interior overcoming the resistanco of lts hard outer shell. The frult tiKually splits open length wle. If plucked before maturity nud nllowod to rlpen ln n warm spot it opens grndunlly from npex to base, raaklng, as It were. a palr of dlverging horns stnrtlng from the same polnt.

The market haa been well Bupplied aince our laat weekly report with Brintol Ferry and native atock. Demand haa been only moderate and condned al most entirnly to city trade. Prices Ior best Hoae and Hebrona have varied from $1,00 to S1.75 per barrel, according to the bud ply offering from day to day. ThiB morn ing recelpta are quite heavy and beat marka hard to place at over S1.G2 with ordiuary Btock slow at S1.C0. WeBtern potatoeH are not wanted and laat aalea were at 81. 00 generally. Chbbbe. Kecelpta for export, 979 boxea. The market is Bttll in an unsatiafactory con ditlon. There has been a further advance in prices in aympathy with the higher rates rullng in the country, but bayera are gen erally holdlng off and moat of the freah ar rivals have to go into store. There have been very few aalea of nortbern twlna at over 9i to 9ic aa jet. Fair to good gradea are selling well at 7J to 8Jc. Western twins in light aupply but hard to sell at '4c. Ohlo flatB steady at 8 to 9c. Eoau. lteceipta Irom the West con tlnue very heavy and a large stock of hot weather eggs haa accumnlated here. There has been about the usual demand for thia season of the year but the aupply has been altogethor too large for the mldautn luer trade, eapecially with berrlea and otber amall fruits as plenty and cheap aa at prea ent. There have been few Balea of weatern thia week at over 14c and for the general run of stock 13 to 14c is a full quotatlon wlth prospect of atill lower prices unless recelpta fail off soon. Fancy nearby aud eaBtern in light Bupply. Lumbku. Clrcumatancea require another buoyant report. For all sorts of lumber the demand preeently paaalug would be conaidered good even for the buay tlme of year which means of course that it ia pho nomenally brisk for midaummer. Mauu facturera have all they can ilo, a little more than they can manage in fact, to comply with the calls now being mado upon them, and aa ia of courao but natural , under the circumatances the tone of the market ls very tirtn atrengthenine, notwItuBtandiDg advances already scoted, aome people think Flouh. The tone ol the market is easler, with aalea yet ruling very alow. IJuyers are operating aa forced by their presslng needs, but hTiow nodiapoaition to anticipate future uecesBitlfs. In winter wheata the prlcea aaked to hbip are more governed by the coat of new wheat, but most aalea of spring are yet ot old wheat gooils. No new winter wheat tloura have arrlved as yet, but ahipmenta aro ln tranalt. For spring pat ents the general range of Bales ia at 83.76 to 4.00, aome speclal branda hnld higher. Winter patenta are quotable at 83.75 to 3 90 aa covering about all of the business done. New winter wheata clear and Btralght are quotable at 83 20 to 3.S0, but the range is up to S3.C0 to 3 65 for choice branda of old wheat gooils. Low gradea nomlnal. Wool. The business continuea to ahow aome falling off, and the aggregate U sraall er than that for several weeks past. Still the demand continnes good, and it ia the absence of the huge indlvidual tranaactions of the precedlng weeka that makes the market appear quleter than tt really Ib. All in all the demand promlsea to be more general in tbo near luture as the smaller manufacturers are beglnning to secnre or dera for gooda, and their purcbasea are llke ly to make conaiderable of a sttr In the market, Their preaence haa been felt dur ing the past few daya and numbers of them wlll undoubtedly follow. The market ls exceedlngly flrm for all fiuo and medlum Btock and prices contlnue on the upward path. The top notch of valnea haa not yet been reached and it only needa heavler bnyiug to feud prices klttng upward. Livo Stock Market. Bkef Cattlb.
