How She Keeps Egjfs.
An Ohio woman who claims to have
had twenty years of successful experience
in the matter, furnishes this recipe for
keeping eggs: Take good fresh e"gs and
rub them over with melted !aru, thus
closing the pores in the shell. Then put
a layer of oats or bran in a box and a
layer of eggs, setting them on the small
end and not allowing them to touch each
other—separating them by <~ats Or bran.
In this way fill the box, and the eggs
will keep fresh.
» 4 - Milk Diet for Laying* Hens.
Please listen to the substance of an
instructive little story lately told by a
Canada editor: A neighbor whose hens,
to our exasperation, kept laying on when
eggs were twenty-five cents a dozen,
wliile ours persistently laid off during
the same season, on being ques
tioned, revealed the fact that hia hens
had a pailful of skimmed ^(perhaps clab
bered) milk each day, and no other
drink. Oa comparing notes we found
that our management of fowls was al-
lost exactly alike, with the single milk

To Dress Vegetables.
Wash greens thoroughly; pick them
close, for an outside leaf will spoil a
dishful; split the stems of cabbages
across twice. They should be washed in
a pan, as particles of sand or dust hang
to the sides of wooden vessels. Do not
pour water on them; draw the w^ter and
then plunge thorn in; throw into the
water a handful of salt, as that will draw
out worms or other insects, which can
not be seen without pulling the vegeta
bles to pieces. , , „
All greens should be boiled by them
selves in plenty of water, with a good
lump of salt; the water should boil
when they are put in and be kept boil
ing; they should be well done or they
are unwholesome; a very little soda
put into the water preserves their color.
No directions can be given as to the
time vegetables take for boiling, as much
depends on the size and age. To asceij
tain when they are done pass a fork
through the stem, if soft they are done ;
they begin to sink when nearly boiled
enough. Greens should be strained
through a colander as soon a3 done.-

As the sun went down and darkness
began to creep over the face of the
earth th© angry artillery died away and
the crackle of musketry was less spite
ful. For a while the fighting on the
extreme right hung on, to settle the
question of who should occupy the old
earthworks, but at length dead silence
foil upon the whole field.
Silence? No! It was silence com
pared to the awful roar of the long after
noon, but it was a silence broken by the
screams and groans and prayers of
wounded men—by tlie movements of
wagons and artillery—by the subdued
voices of 75,000 men as they camped for
the night without fire, and anxiously
debated the chances for the morrow.
The sergeant marches off to the left at
the head of half a dozen men. He drops
• a man at “Post No. 1,” and gives him
whispered instruction. It is the same
at posts 2, 3, 4, etc., until the last man
has been stationed.
There must be vigilant, wakeful men
between friends and foes while the long
night wears away.
“Post No. 6” is under a great beech
tree. Shot and shell have scarred and
riven its trunk, and shot and shell have

quarter of a century hence this tree will
bear witness to the'terrible straggle of
to-day.

How to Do It.
A new plan of irrigation has just been
inaugurated on the Pawnee river south
of Larntd, Kansas, A iarge wheel is
placed in the edge of the water, which
resembles somewhat a double windmill.
The wheel is so constructed and com
nected that it is kept constantly turning
by the current. To the rim of the wheel
is attached eight large troughs, each
holding eight gallons of water. As the
wheel turns these troughs dip up water,
carry it to the highest point of the wheel
and there empty it into the irrigation
ditch. Through ditches and laterals it
is then carried to the adjacent land. By
this means the river, by its own force, is

^ i ii i wiuimhu ■ W as a dreadful sufferer from uterine troubles.
FAII FA I Having exhausted the skill of three physi-
i fiitt.ua | ciana, I was completely discouraged, and so
weak I could with difficulty cross the room
alone. I began taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and
using the local treatment recommended in his ’Common Senss
Medical Adviser.’ I commenced to improve at once In three
months I was perfectly cured, and have had no trouble since. I
wrote a letter to my family paper, briefly ’oentioning how my
health had been restored, and offering to send tho full particulars
—i , . . m y case and the treatment used, and have ear
nestly advised them to do likewise.’ From a great many I have
received second letters of thanks, stating that they had com
menced the use of * Favorite Proscription.’ had sent tho $1.50
required for the Medical Adviser,’ and had applied the local
treatment so fully and plainly laid down therein, and were much
better already.”
Rotroyerted Womb.—Mrs. Eva Kohler, of Crab Orchard,
Neb., writes: Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription has done me a
grout deal of grood. I suffered from retroversion of the uterus*
for which I took two bottles of the * Favorite Prescription,’ and i
am sow feeling like a different woman.”
Doctor* Failed.—Mrs. F. Corwin, of Post Creek, N. Y.,
writes: I doctored with three or four of the best doctors in
these parts, and I grew worse until I wrote to you and began
using your ‘Favorite Prescription.’ I used three bottles of it
find two of tlie ‘Golden Medical Discovery,* also one and a half
bottles of the ‘Purgative Pellets.’ T can do my work and sew and
walk all I care to, and am in better health than I ever expected to
be in this world affaiq. I owe it all to your wonderful medicines.”
