Wilmarth tolls the Farmer's Club that no acid would combine with the egg-shell in any other manner than to destroy it. Tho egg-shell being compos ed of lime, which is un alkali, would bo dissolved by an acid ; even common vin egar would so soften it as to destroy it in a short time. Packing in salt and keep ing in a dry cool pltvco has been found effectual, to preservo eggs for a 1 few weeks. ' The main idea is to keep the air from penetrating the shell which is po rous. A varnish of common gum-arubio would answer as a temporary expedient, and the eggs might bo placed in a net and dipped in tho solution in quantities of two or three dozen at a time. When wanted, a bath of warm water would re move the gum. All these expedients uro troublesome, and practically inoperative on a large scale. We havo kept eggs fresh for family usu for over three months by putting thorn in a net which would hold three or four dozen, and dipping in a pail of boiling water. Tho albumen becomes set, and forms an impervious fikiu on the inside. By hanging the net On a hook in a dry cellar, und changing or reversing its position every two or three days, tho yolk is prevented from ad hering and the eggs will keep longer. Eggs preserved for market by any of these methods arc instantly detected by the dealers, und it is useless to endeavor to dispose of them under uny other guiso than what is known as "limed eggs." , Hints to Farmers. Don't let your horses bo seen standing much at the tavern door ; it don't look right. Don't give merchants a chance to dun jou. I'rouipt payments make independ ent men. Keep good fences, especially lino fen ces; they promote good feeling among neighbors. A decent, substantial clothing for your children makes them think better of themselves, and keeps tho doctors away. Don't starve your lund ; if you do it will grow loan. Don't buy patent rights to sell again. Buy a farm wugon before a fine car riage. Don't becomo surety for him who waits for the sheriff. If you have a yoko of oxoa don't bo ashamed of them, and givo your noto for A span of horses. Don't run for a constable ; you may get him und let the plow stand. Teach your boys to look up and for ward, never down or backward. Don't leave to memory what should bo written ; it makes lawsuits. When tho labors of the duy are past let good books and newspapers invito tho youngsters to tho sitting-room. Healthfulnm of Apples. There is scarcely an article of vcgotable food wore widely useful and : universally liked than the upplo. Why every farm er bus not an apple orchard wherever thd trees will grow at all, is one of tho mys teries. Let every housekeeper lay in a good supply of apples, and it will be the most economical investment in the culi nuries. A raw, mollow apple is digested m un hour and a hulf, while boiled cab bages requiro fivo hours. The most healthful desert that can bo pluced on the tablo is a baked apple. If eaten for break fast, with coarse bread and butter.with out meat or flesh of any kind, it has an admirable effect on tho general system, often removing constipation, asciditics, and cooling off febrile conditions moro ef fectually than the most upproved medi cines. If families could bo induced to uso apples Bound and ripe, for pics, cakes and sweetmeats, with which their children are too frequently stuffed, there would be diminution in the sum total of doctor's bills in a singlo year.sufficicut to luy in a stock of this delicious fruit for tho whole season. Keonomy of Long Furrows in Plowing. A German agricultural journal observes that furmers usually pay vory little atten tion to tho length of the furrows to be ploughed in a field, and yet great waste of timo and labor is the necessary conse quence of unsuitable arrangements in this respect. The turning of a plow and the commencing of a new furrow requires more exertion in the plowman and tho (earn than continued work on a straight line, and how great may really bo the loss of time from frequent interruptions in hort turns may be shown by the follow ing calculation : In a field 2-5 foct long, live and a half hours out of ten art used in ro-direeting the plow; with a length of 675 feet, four hours are sufliuieot fur that purpose, and when tho plow can proceed without interruption for 800 feet, only' one and a hulf hours of the daily work ing time are contmtuod. Hence tho rule to make the furrow as long as circum stances will admit. - ' Drugs! Drugs !
