i'rcscrvlng Eggs.
Havlng reciilvotl nutneroua inquirics
from fnrmoia during tho post iwo
montliB reBpocting tho uiorils of "wator
plnBs" ns a mediuin in wtiich to kcop
cgge. wc aro locl to think that cortain
conclusions drawu Irom an oxporitnout,
lntcly brought to n cloao, wlth ihia and
othcr prcBorvntlveB wlll bo of intereat
to our rcadcrs.
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-

Mllkliifr Stools aud Milking.
When milking atools were flrat uaed
is unknowu. I bave soon young men
and women who regarded thoir uso as
a aign of effominacy, and, diadaining
ineir uae, equaucu wnne milking.
toeais ior miiEing, ueo cnairB ana aoias

A writer in tho Wiaconsin AgricuUur

advantage consiats in giving tho milkor
tne power to quickly chango hia poai
tion, when the cow movea, without
having to movo hia atooh We uaed to
keep a one-iegged Btool in our stable
with an aaaorlmont of othor kinda, but
nono ot tno milkera evor uBed it ex
copt mysolf, and I soon threw it away,
It is more comfortable than equattine
but whero six or aovon cowa are to bo
milkcd by ono milker, it tires his lcga
to Bteady it. One lcg ia not enough for
a atooi, and lour are loo many.
throe-logged stool will atand steadily on
an uneven floor, where a four-legged
one will rock.
A stool, liko all othor farm and dairv
implementa, ahould be made light as
poBBible, and at tho aame time bavo tho
neceaaary atrcngth. Our stoola, which
bavo been in ubo a long whilo, an
givon good aatiafaction, aro made from
piecea of white pino boarde, 12 inchea
lonc, b inchea wido, 14 inchea tliick
and cleated to provont aplittlng. Tbo
proper longth of tho lega, dopenda on
tno length or tno cow's icgs. ve hnv
a stool for milking the abort-legged cowa
with lega 10 inchoa long, and othora
ior miuuntr tno long-loggod cowa witu
loga about 18 inchea long. 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. I alwnyB bruah n cow's log, bhIo
and bag bcforo milking, in ordor to n
movo any dust, piecea of atraw or loo-e
hatrs, which would bo HKciy 10 tiiup
into tho pall. 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. No cow can
do hor bcBt and atand in tho hot suu all
day, 8Witching the tliea off her back
witb hor head anu lau. ii ib ono con-
tinual worry from early morning till
late evening. 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

A llaill lllt.
A citizen whose home is up town has
a great liking for workirig in his gar
den, as ho calls his back yard. He gota
up early in the morning, dons an old
coat and starts out with rake and hoe.
On hia head he usually wears a shock
ing old cap that has been klcking
about the premises for years.
The other morning he wore this can
to his place of business. Of course h
dld lt by mistako and was greatly cha
erined when he found lt on his head.
He fancled everybody was looklng at
hlm on the car and he felt quite aure
tho conductor grlnned at his head cov
ering as 30on aa ho came wlthin sicht
of it.
He didn't have tlme to go back for
his derby, and eo he stuck lt out. Ho
would have got through it pretty well.
ne says, lr lt hadn t been for the ag
gravating remark of a atreert urchin,
who saw hlm alight from the car.
Turnlng to a ragged companlon he
polnted at the cap nd saJd:

I'oTATOEa. 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.
