A new egg preserving machine has
just been Introduced In the F.nglisi,
market. By means of ihls machine
Mr. C'hrlstlanson. the inventor, claims
fresh eggs can be preserved In good
condition during twelve months' stor
age. Tlie principle of lln. npimratms
Is based upon the fact that so Ion- as
he yolk of an egg is kept from res'
Ins upon the shell the sound qualii ,
of the egg Is maintained. The problem,
therefore, has been to devise a simple
uppnratus by means of which a large
number of eggs can lie given the
requisite movement without the ex
penditure of much time or labor. It
consists of a subslaniially-made frame
work, supporting n series of perforated
metal trays, so placed and equipped
with fittings that their angle of In
clluntion cau be varied by one turn of
a handle in a central position at the
side of the framework. The eggs arc
placed In perforations in the trayi
each tray holding 1:0 eggs. Tlie trays
vary iu number according to the size
of th- machine, various sizes being de
signed, the largest of which Is capable
of holding as many as lo.otH eggs, all
of which can be turned simullaueousiv
by a single movement. These move
ments must be given once wliliin a
stated period, In order that the yoll:
shall be retained in the desired posi
tion. It Is obvious that a machine of
this natme, by which great numbers
of eggs can be preserved practically
without cost of labor or materials. Is
of the greatest Importance to all deal
ers and users In the trade.

None will dispute tlmt there is no
crop that the average farmer can raise
that will produce as much nutritious
food from u given quantity of seed, as
will maize, or Indian corn; ab.o Hint
we can greatly Increase tlie yield by
giving the crop more thought and bel
ter attention. Farmers, as a nil',
plant too many ucres. The possibilities
of a single acre mny have been
reached, but the possibility of ten
ncres. ir extra ca,-e were given, would
be astonishing. AVhat we need lire
fewer acres and more bushels to tin
acre. We should then have more of
out land In grass. The Ideal place for
a good corn crop is clover sod, which
has been covered liberally In the fall
with manure. Flow Iu early spring,
not more than six Inches deep. W"
then have the foundation laid for i.u
even growth all over the field. If we
make a failure in some part of our
work tit the beginning we cannot own
come It In the after part of the season.
We must prenare the sneil ln.it in,
care, making it as fine as possible. Marl;
ior urns, or drill, us one may prefer.
Both ways are good if extra cultury
Is given .through the season. Com
mence with the weeder or slauting
tooth light drag. Karly cultivation will
keep down all-weeds and hasten the
growth of corn. Cultivate shallow all
through the season; and as soon as
possible after rains start the cultiva
tor. By shallow cultivation we will
retain the moisture. When the husks
oa the ears are partly turned yellow,
and the kernels begin to glaze, cut off
and shock In moderately good size

Somehow a lace collar Is not only a

pubic of revivifying n hopelessly com

As for shapes, they nre of every va
riety. There are tabs In front, or In
the back, or even over the shoulders,
and there are collars so round Unit
there's no suggest ion of tabs.
While the real lace collars are a Joy
to the heart feminine, yet there art
n. any Imitations which are not only
attractive, but which arc worn by
good dressers. Some of these collar
come as low as a dollar, though these
should grace nothing more ceremonial
than u dressing sacque or a lounging
robe.
These two primp virtues In the field
of fashion are actually found lu one

CliicuK (ioviTiiem Turin Cowboy.
Texas, famous for lis cowboys, has
a feminine cowboy, Miss Fanny Sea
bride, who leads all her masculine
competitors In the rapidity with which
she has achieved success. Five years
ago .Miss Scabrlde left Chicago with a
few dollars In her pocket, a pair of
strong bauds, two energetic legs, a
heart full of courage, and a head full
of ideas. She started for Texas with
tlie Intention of being a governess,
having read from time to time thnt
there were great opportunities for
teachers In that State of free and easy
ways. She was moderately success
ful iu her work as teacher, but there
was not enough money iu it to satisfy
her ambitions, and becoming Imbued
with the adventurous spirit bred by
Texas air, she learned lo ride a
broncho and handle firearms.
Always on the lookout for a chance
to branch out into some other work
than teaching, she found it when a
fence rider on the famous Horseshoe
XX ranch was thrown by his horse
and badly hurt while on his way to re
pair n break in tlie wire fence which
surrounded It. .Miss Senbrkle knew
him, and she insisted on taking his job.
She motiufed his mustang, and with u
hatchet, wire staples and a rlllo for
companions, rode thirty miles to the
break, repaired It, and returned iu
triumph. She Immediately applied lo
Colonel Sausome for the position of
fence rider and cattle guard on tho
Horseshoe much and she got it, nil
trial.
She lias held the position for nearly
four years, and during that period has
killed and scalped r:n coyotes, forty
six loho wolves, thirty-nine wildcats,
thirteen jaguars and livo black bears.
For the senilis of these animals she
was paid a bouuty of $lt!."l.
The shrewd, energetic young girl
saved almost every dollar of her money
from the beginning of her Western
career and invested it in the best
breeds of white-faced cows and calves.
Her wages as fence rider and cattle
guard, together with the bounties that
the ranchers paid her for the scalps of
wild animals, amounted lo about JjilSOO
a year. Commencing with ueurly 10O
cows and calves three years ago she
has managed to add about liOD head to
her herd up to this time, and she has
branded more than 4iXl calves. It Is

For the older children, ns well ns for
