Tako eggs that you know to be good (for If stalo of courso they will not keep well), and place them in a firkin first sprinkling two inches depth of salt all over the bottom of it. Pat in the eggs the small end downward, so that the yolk will float in the middle of the white, and not cling to the side of tho egg and spoil it. Fill up the lirkin with eggs and lay a board over them or a plate, to prevent thorn from floating when the brine is poured in. Thon slake three pints of lime in six gallons of water and add to it two and a half pints of course salt, stirring it up thoroughly. Let it stand over night to settle, and pour the clear water carefully over the eggs. The eggs must be kept entirely under brine for if allowed to float upwaid they will spoil. A brine thus prepared will keep eggs for a year at least, but care must be taken not to let one of them break in the brino, and spoil it; if this occurs turn it all out and make a now brine for them. Lancaster Farmer. About Corns. Soft corns are cured by warm water bath ings and buckskin protectors, and no par ings are necessary. Hard corns on the top of the toes, at the joints, can almost always be removed in two or three days by simply soaking the feet in warm water for about twenty minutes, nlgbt and morning, rub bing the corn with the finger while under "the water. This hastons tbo softening, and in a day or two the kernel can be picked out -with the finger nail. If the corn is shaved off the roots deepen ; besides, troublesome bleedings sometimes follow, which in sev eral cases bave ended fatally. A bit of cot ton saturated with oil and bound upon the corn over night, facilitates tho softoning. Fir Timber. A. Chicago Tribune correspondent 6ays the fir timber in the vicinity of Beatlo, Washington Territory, grows to a height of from 150 to 250 feet, and is of a peculiar character, being harder than Eastern pino, readily worked while green, but, when sea soned, it becomes almost like flint, while its durability and strength are nearly equal to the oak. Many of the buildings in this country are put up without any 'studding whatever ; the fir boards, one-inch thick, being placed upright and battened on the outside, are of sufficient strength to hold up the roof and lloor, with its ordinary weight of furniture, etc Filing JlandBaws. In filing handsaws that are intended to cut only ono way, the majority of mechan ics file toward the handle, which leaves the teeth with more bovel on the back than on the front, which is caused by the taper of the file. A few persons file thoir saws toward tho point, which gives more bevel to the front or cutting side, of tho tooth. Some thiuk that the back side of the teeth should be Hied nearly square across, and that the saw will cut equally well and re main sharp much longor. The front side of tho teeth should be bevelled to suit the timber ; soft wood requires more bevel than hard wood. Renovating Old Feathers. Expose them to the sun in an old mos quito net (or coarse com sacks will answer) until perfectly dry", shaking tbem up from time to time. To got out duBt, they must ""bo tied up to some convenient place in the yard and well beaton up with the bands or a stick (the person standing to windward of courso). If a lace not is used, feathers may be as thoroughly dried and sifted in this way as can be desired. Fultz Wheal. Mr. John A. Parker, of Tappahannock, Ya., says be finds that sowing one-half buhhel of this wheat to the aore is amply sufficient. It branches better than any other kind he has yet seen, and at the time of writing (January 18) shows much better than any fields of other kinds on which one and a half bushels per acre were sown. " The little parcel sent by the Department three years ago has caused u revolution in wheat-raising bero." ' Slippery-Elm Iturk as a I'olsou. An exchange gives an account of a boy in Iowa who ate a quantity of alippery cltn bark, A -day or two afterwards be was takeu violently ill, and four days from tbe time of ating the bark, died. On a post mortem examination, , bis stouiaon was full of the bark twisted into balls, the or gans being too weak to digest It. ' tW Judge Harvey, of Lock flavon, Bays that if you. wlslt to prevent tbe destruction of fruit trees by the borer, all yoti bave to do is to roU otip part of aulpiiur. with four parts of lard and apply the preparation to the trunk of tbe tree at or neur the surface of the ground..' Do this efl'ootually by , tuntaariug the entire surface of tbe bark at the place mentioned, about tho first of May, and again three or four months Inter, each season and you still never be troubled by Uie borers.
