To presere eggs some system must >e adopted that will absolutely pre*eDt the exchange between the air >utside aud that iuside the egg?for it s the continual exchange that causes jutrefaction: Dr. Campaini selected perfectly resh eggs aud covered them with ard, so as to effectually stop up all the jores. The shells were thus rendered mpermeable, the exchange of air was jreveuted and. the obstruction of the jores not permitting the evaporation >f the water, there wss no loss of weight. The white aad yellows of he eggs retained their color perfectly and the taste was not moditied n the slightest degree. When propery coated with lard?not too thickly ;ht eggs are put in baskets or boxes upin a bed of tow or tine odorless shavings aud so arranged that there will be no point of contact between them jtberwite a mold will develop and putrefaction result. The packing room should be perfectly dry, the .jutrsuuu ui ttm(jt;ia.Lure uut uciug important. By bis process Dr. Cauipanini kept a quantity of eggs for a whole year through a very hot summer and a very cold winter and they were perfectly preserved. He says that 4 cents worth of lard suffices to coat 100 eggs, aud that any one could easily prepare that uumberofeggs in oue hour's time.

J. R. A nderson, Superintendent. THE UNDISCOVERED SOUTH. Richard B. Edmonds of Baltimore, editor of the Manufacturers' Record, and probably the best authority on the industrial resources and interests of the Southern States, contributes to The Youth's Companion of April 30th an article on "The Undiscovered South." fle predicts that the South will some day be able to duplicate the eutire iron and steel industry of the United States of today, and that the Southern farmers wili doubtless be the most prosperous farmers in the world. The facts from which these conclusions are drawn are presented in away to convince as well as interest, ana their circulation among the several hundred thousand Northern families that read The Youth's Companion may perhaps turn the eyes of some from British Columbia to the far more inviting ana equauy piu Arable field of the Southern States of their own country. A. Future For Southern Cotton Spinner*. The South ba?* about nine million nine hundred and thirty thousand cpiudlee, although it furnishes tbreefourths of the cotton for the one hundred aud twenty-two miilion spindles in operation in the world* In these figures is seen an indication of the possibilities of future expansion, but it should be remembered that they tell only a part of the tale. The world's consumption of cotton Is steadily advancing. Even if the Boi-'h should continue to increase its intnninff nanftp.itv as ranidlv sit has 1 lone iuthe last five or ten year.-, it should not be quite equal to taking ;are of the actual growth of the world's demand for cotton goods. This section might leave to New England and Europe all the cotton ^11I * 4 ' ill I i 1 1 I V1 * t ,M r . *4 1 if I f ARl J ,:fi LPS | J -> i i x m ' ;-'S ^%%%%%% trade which they now have, and not t>e able to increase its cotton mill business rapidly enough to take care of Lhe world's new needs.? R. H. Edmonds. in The Youth's ComDanion. Monthern Coal Lands Equal To ;J Entire Area Of New England. Without further discoveries, think )f the wealth awaiting the utilization jf what the South already has in sight. The geologists have marked jut for us over sixty-two thousand square miles of coal land. This is more than two and a half times as much as the coal area of Great Britain, Germany and Pennsylvania combined. Of known iron ore, the South bias more tban all the known ore supply of the rest of the country. In this it has the foundation for duplicating all the iron and steel industry of the United States.?R.. H . Ed- x monds, in The Youth's Companion. V Better than a Gold Mine. The Southern people themselves are only touching here and there on the edge of things, when w consider the vast resources ana possibilities of that qpction not yet by any manner of means realized. The South, in fact ia an undiscovered country, undiscovered even by itself. Take an illustration or two as indicating the situation. About four years ago a committee of four or five distinguished experts, employed 'j nut. a relative valuation on the v,re properties of several Birmingham companies, classed one piece of property near that city as practically valueless, and refused to put any estimate whatever upon it. That piece of property is now turning out six hundred tons of iron ore a day, and is said by experts to contain forty-five million tons of good ore. On the basis of the recent deals in the Lake Superior distrtct, that property which four years ago was reported to have no value would now be worth forty-five million dollars, and in the not very distant future Alabama ores will, doubtless, rank in value on the same basis as Lake Superior ores as intrinsically worth a dollar a ton in the ground. R. H. Edmonds, in The Youth's Companion. King Cotton. The South it producing an average of about twelve million bales of cotton a year. The time is rapidly coming when this must be increased to twenty million bales or more to meet the world's requirements, me gam iu consumption will require an average of half a million bales a year. At this gain it would require but ten years to make it necessary for the South to raise seventeen or eighteen million bales annually. There is no reason why tbe world will not eventually need forty million tales or more of Southern-grown cotton; and with good prices and an increase in the labor supply, even this would not be the limit of the South's ability. The practical monoply of cotton production is a potential power for the South as great as would be an equally strong domination of tbe world's ironore supply. Sooner or later, when this section fulU comprehends this great power, - " 1-- i.J 1C W1U maKe nip worm pay uiuuic iu its cofferp, just as would England or any other country which owned the world's iron ores. By reason of this condition cotton growers ought to be the most prosperous farmers in the world, and in time tbey doubtless will be.? R. H. Edmonds, in The Youth's Companion.
