Eacs.--The egg traffic of this country has risen to an importance which few com prehend. Tfie aggregate transactions in New York City alone must amount to fully $18,000,000 per annum and in the United States to $818,000,000. The perishable nature of eggs has naturally detracted from their value as a standard artlole of diet. The peculiar excellence of eggs depends on their freshness. But lately the process. of crystallizing has been resorted to, and by this process the n%tural egg is converted in to a vitreons substance of a delicate amber tint, in which form it is reduced seven eights in bulk compared with barrel eggs, and retains its properties for years, umm paired, in any climate. In this form eggs may be transported without injury, either to the equator or the poles, and at any tune can be restored to their original con dition by adding the water which has been artificially taken away. The chief egg desiccating companies are in St. Louis and .New York. No salts or other extraneous matters are introduced in the process of crystallizing, the product is simply a con solidated mixture of yolk and albumen. ImmenEe quantities of eggs are preserved in the spling of the year by liniig. Thus treated they are good for every purpose except boiling. It is a common frapd for some dealers to palm off eggs so treated as fresh, so that imposition is earily practiced. In the desiccating process, however, the difference becomes apparent, as from four to five more limed eggs are required to make a pound of eggs crystallized than when fresh are used, and eggs in the least tainted will not crystalize at all. Cr.ovn AND RYH FOR Honsus.--In my experience, says a writer, I have found nothing so profitable for hog pasture as clover and rye, and I think rye preferable. and the reason they are better than timothy, 1 blue grass and all similar grasses is they remain more tender for a longer period than other grasses, which so soon become wiry and hard, partaking of tho naturo of hay, and I have -never stnown hogs to thrive on it, although other stock does. To use rye profitably for pasture, fall rye should be sown for spring pasture and spring rye for later pasture, and by not1 pasturing too long and too close there will be censiderable head out,which when ripe will, with the weeds that naturally grow -among grain, make good pasture until gn~e to commenee feeding corn, at least $ smy experience. As to using any )graisses for hog pasture, I would , weed pasture, and I will here say aI am of opinion if some of the weeds .,so eagerly eaten by hogs were domesticated S and properly cultivated they would prove more satisfactory for hog pasture than any thing used of grass kind. KNIFEc THE OUT WORM.--There is really * but one way to save the corn crop If the plants are once attacked by cut worms that is to dig the worms out and kill them. It is not a difficult task, nor is it very cost ly. We presume that a fourth part of the loss sustained would be the full equivalent of all the labor it would cost to dig up the cut worms and kill them. The worm does .the mischief at night, and before morning burrows in the ground niear the spot where its depredations have been comimitted. A practiced eye readily discerns the entrance into the hiding place, a pmnall round hole into which the worm has passed and lies concealed. The way to bring the pest up is to thrust a peinted knife down the hole and lift out the earth to the depth of two ,or three inches, when the malefactor will lie exposed to view and can be instantly destroyed. We have known of large fields being cleared by this process at a cost of labor so slight as to bear no comparison with the loss that would have otherwise resulted.. DR A iNINo wet land is estimated to return from 40 to 86 per cent. on the yearly cost. In the same way good stock pays far better than poor; good fencing, well selected fruit trees and carefully looked after home . steads repay the money laid out, and add immensely to the comfort of the occupant. IN hoeing or weeding young strawberry plants it is always best to pick off the - blosoms or fruit buds, as it Is almost mm - possible to grow good strong plants, capable of bearing a profitable crop of strawberries, if they are allowed t9 bear at pleasure the LiMi c, wood ashes, and old iron placed around the roots of declining fruit trees have a very baneficial effect.

This can be used as the heading or fringe around doylees. Catch and so uro with your needle a few threads close o the body of the stuff at top and bottom >f a drawn space.

NEW PRoeuss FOR WASHING LINEN.-In 3ermany and Belgium a Substitute has ately been introduced for soda in the aundry, which, while it has all the deter nive qualities of soda, does no injury to the linen. Two pounds of soap are dis rolved in about five gallons of water as hrot as the hand can bear. To this are idded eone tablespoonful of oil of turpen tine and three of liquid of ammonia. This mixture Is then well stirred, and in it the clothes are steeped for three hours, the washtub being covered up as care fully as possible. Next the clothes are washed, rinsed and blued as usual. The mixture will serve a second time, only it must be reheated and one-half spoonful of c,il of turpentine anri one and one-half of ammonia added to It. The proceps econ Dmizes time, labor and fuel. The clothes are not injured because the ammaonia evap Drates very quickly; and as for the smell of the turpentine, that disappears in the drying. EBoIzED soEEEN.--A screen is a pie uresque and convenient piece of furni ture. Now that art embroidery has be come general, and cretonne is so cheap, and there are so many Easter and birth. day cards and pretty advertising cards flying about from house to house, it will be found quite easy to manufacture a hand, some folding screen. Let a carpenter make a frame of three panels if you can. not buy the sIze you wish ; proportion the size to your strips of embroidery or cre tonno. A good design is spray of pea cock feathers on an inexpensive gronnd work of some solid color.~ Do not try to paste your cretonne flowers on the founda. tion ; it Is better to tack them or stitch them with very fine stitches. The natur al wood frame can be ebonized at home by the above receipt.

I am not in practice, but am my sole family physi cian, and advise in many chronic cases. Over a year ago I recommended your Hop Bitters to my invalid wife, who has been under medical treatmbnt of Albany's best physicians several. years. She has been greatly benefitted and still uses the medi cine. I believe she will become thorough ly cured of her various complicated dis eases by their use. We both recommend them to our friends, many-of .whom have also been cured of their various ailments by them. Rzv. E. R. WARREN. Cured of Drinking. "A young friend of nune was cured of an insatiable thirst for liquor that had so prostrated his system that he was unable to do any business. He was entirely cured by the use of Hop Bitters. It allayed all that burning thirst ; took away the appetite for liquor; made his nerves steady, and he has remained a sober and steady man for more than two years, and has no desire to re turn to his cups, and I know of a number of others that have been cured of drinking by it."-From a leading R.

A good Baptist clergyman of Bergen, N.

Since his cure he says none need fear but trust in Hop Bitters. My wife and daughter wore made healthy by the use of Hlop Bitters and I recommend them to my people.-Methodist ClergymaP' Mexico, N. Y. I had severe attacks of Gravel and Kid ney trouble; was unable to get any medi cine or doctor to cure me until I used Hop Bitters, and they cured me in a short time. -A distinguished lawyer and temperance orator of Wayne County, N.
