Numerous methods- of preserving «ggs are in use. The idea of all of them is to keep air out of the eggs, as by such absence of oxygen decay can be arrested for a considerable length of time, especially if the eggs are perfectly fresh at the start and are kept in a cool, dark The standard method most used by speculators and dealers i» to put eggs in lime water. Ths process* is as follows, this recipe haring been widely sold at fire dollars l under pledge of secrecy: Take two gallon* of water, If pounds of unslaked lime and

four pound® of salt, or in that propertion according to the quantity of egg* to be preserved. Stir several time* daily ar.d then let stand until the liquid has settled and i* perfectly clear. Draw or carefully dip off the clear liquid, leaving the sediment at the bottom. Take lor the above amount of liquid ftve ouu«ee each of baking soda, cream of tartar, saltpeter and borax and as ounce of alum. Pulverize and mix the** and die solve in one gallon of boiling water am: add to the mixture about 90 gallonv of pure lime water. Thi* will About till a cider barrel. Put the egg* In carefully so as not to crack any of Ike shells, letting the water alway* . aland no inch above the egg*, which van be done by placing a barrel head a Mttle- smaller upon them and weighing It. Tins amount of liquid will preserve I*o t-.ji-i; of eggs. It is not neesswry to w..U to get a full barrel oremallw poekagL- of eggs, but they can be put In al any time that they can be obtained fresh. The same liquid ahould V* wed only once. —-Michigan Trsdes-

It ie a common faying that the marStoi in never over-aiocktd with the beat, and this u probably correct. Whenever the uuukrt is over-stocked it begins at tin poorest quality to reject. If tba HMUrkvi dor* not reject the low quality, it at once reduce* the price to a point hslow coil of production and marketing. Thf re-fore the only people that ■land a chance of making money are those til*', vend to market good prod)i. good fchape. in a way markets ars sivi&;o over-stocked, except in times a: eoial scarcity. Hut the market it never over-stocked with choice lewis. Great loss to the producers results tio'ti the manner in which fowls ai* a reseed and shipped to market. Oise muii say* that the quantity of fowls daily dressed and sent to market la an unsalable condition is enormous. —Farmer*' Keview.

It k> well to keep the feet in mind that pure air and sunshine are the beet of disinfectants. They discount everything in keeping the nursery coops in condi Jon. Turn these coop* over frequently so when the hens- and their broods are out on the range the sun may shine on them ali day. If this is regularly attended to and their location changed so as to occupy a fresh spot of gnmnd once a week you can relieve your mind of any fear of foulnesa which will be injurious to the chicks, This kind of disinfecting costa nothing Is the way of labor, and U one of the eheap things which is thoroughly good. —Farmers' Voice.

JErary rooster not intended especial!? for breading should be killed or sold a# soon as large enough to eat. Not otet one good rooster should be kept on artfy farm, and that one cooped and mated with not to exceed ten hens, the eggs from those hens to be kept expressly for batching. The other hcaa should be kept especially for eggs for market or table use, and no rooster should be allowed among them. On the ordinary farms about one-tenth of the fowls are roosters, which is about ulna times a# many as are necessary.—-?anft sad fireside.
