Six Months' Old Fresh Eggs.,
According to a statement in the Em-
pire, Professor Saunders, of the Ottawa
Experimental Farm,has been making
some wonderful experiments to ascertain
how long, and under what conditions,
eggs will keep fresh. The resulte of his
experiments, as given by tho Toronto
Empire, will, we have no doubt, aston-
ish egg dealers, farmers wives, and all
others who have to do with this useful:
hen product. Experiment No. 1 was
with an egg laid on October 27th last.
It, with others; :had been packed in
bran and laid away in a cellar. When
four months old it was broken and found
absolutely fresh and sweet. No. 2 was
laid on the 29th of October last, or four
and a -half months ago. It had been
placed in an incubator on the 31st of
October and kept at a constant tempera-
ture of from 78 to 84 degrees until
February 11, a period of three months
and 12 days. When broken, this egg
was also found to be perfectly sweet.
No. 3 was laid on the 5th November,
and from that time until the llth of
February it had been left for the half of
each day in the incubator, and for the
other half in the colder atmosphere of
the cellar. This egg, when broken, was
also fresh and sweet. No. 4 was laid on
the 7th of December, and on the 23rd of
that rnonth it was placed.in an incubator
and kept at a temperature of from 78 to
84 degrees entil February 11. From
that time until the 14th of March it had
lain in the open cellar. This egg, when
broken, "seemed in every respect as
fresh as the day it was laid." No. 5
was laid on the 3r4 of November; the
surface of the shell was greased with
lard and the egg buried in salt. It was
considerably over four months old when
broken, and it was also found to be per-
fectly sound when broken, but "it was
"neither better nor worse than those
"which had received no special atten-
tion. It was simply a good, full,
"fresh egg." No. 6 experiment was
such a remarkable one, or rather, the
result was so remarkable, that we give
it in full in our contemporary's own'
words:
" This was an extraordinary specimen.
Along with half a dozen others it had
been laid in the office drawer during the
firstweekin August last. It had been
given no treatment whatever. There it
lay through all the heat of August and
September, the changing temperatures
of the fall months, the severer extremes
of winter, not 10 feet from a base -burner
stove, and down to the hour of the test.
When Prof. Saunders got ready to break
this egg that had lain for seven months
and a -half in an office drawer, the Em-
pire stepped back a pace or two so as to
be prepsred for the worst. Back num-
ber eggs are always to be suspected.
Yet, when the table knife broke the
shell in twain, the contents fell out,
sweet, freaks -looking and perfectly
wholesome. As a matter of fact, Prof.
Saunders ate it for his eupper, and pro-
nounced it first-class in every respect."
The object of these experiments was
to showi that Canadian eggs can be de-
livered in the Old Country markets in a
fresh condition, and that distance or
time between the production and con-
sumption of the egg is not likely to act
a.s a deterent to trade. From these ex-
perimentathe Empire draws the follOw-
ing conclusions. It says:
"Here, then, were the proofs of the
surprising fact that freah eggs could be
kept for a long period without suffer-
ing material deterioration. The last
egg examined was over seven months
old, lying all that time in a compara-
tively warm room and surrounded with
no preservatives whatever. Yet, like
all the others, it was perfectly good. It
world seem that an egg packed away
when quite freah may be kept at a high
temperature for many months, or sub-
mitted to extremes of heat and cold,
withous suffering to any appreciable ex-
tent in quality. These experiments also
show that popular notions respecting the
age of which an egg may be said to be
fresh are in need of revision. If a farm -

Of COIII'88 we do n t profess to be an
authority op eggs, e cept when they ARE
fresh and c oke , b t we would not care
il
to have to Mak a meal from Professor
Saunders' Isev n 4ionths old fruit.
Neither are we prep red to say that the
experiment! did not result as stated, -but
as the elect ons are ver, and as it is not
now necess ry to m ke political capital
by lying, w suspee the hens at the Ot-
tawa Expe imental arm lay a different
kind of egg from t ose laid by less fav-
ored birds. Howev r, on these points
we leave ou reader to form their own
conclusions If the Empire and Prof.

this and other coun ries, to say nothing
ofethe thrifV house -wives, must be a lot

An Independent Opinion, .
i !
The Jollowing remarks of the New
York Christian U ion on the recent
Canadian elections, how that it grasps
the situation fully, nd are deserving of
the most serious consideration of our
i
own people., . It say: .
! .
"The electoral battle which has been
fought in Canada leaves the Conserva-
tives in possaesion of the field, but With
strength greitly direinished. In the new
-f
Parliement Itheir najority will be but
twenty-six ihetead it fifty-one, and . in
the two leading provinces of Ontario and
Quebec their old majorities have been
extinguished altogether. That which
makes the nitrrowneiss of thciir victory so
significent is the fact that during the
campaign the Cons rvatives abandoned
the issue of prot ction to Canadian
manufacturers versup free trade withthe
United States, andtook up that of
"loyalty versus ditiloyalty." By this
means, without doubt, they constrained
thousands of voters who wish for closer
trade relations with the United States
to vote again for "the old flag, the old
leader, and the old policy." But in
making adhesion to the old policy the
test of loyalty, and i branding as
nexationists," " disruptionists, " lid,
"traitors" all who favored unrestrieted
reciprocity with the United States, the
Conservatives themselves struck a heavy
blew at the future of Canadian Censer-
vatiam. If the Canadian farmers ahduld
conclude that they cannot favor free
trade with the United States without
accepting annexation too, their hatred
of annexation must rapidly disappear.
In the agricultural districts the gains
made by the Liberal; were almost equiva-
lent to a complete rut of the -Conserva-
tives. The conflict almost took the I na-
ture of country against city. The Lib-
erals carried but one city constitudncy.
This line of division was, of course,Idue
to the fact that in qanada, as here, it is
the manufaeturers stho have been I pro-
tected, and free tra e with the Uaited
States would mean e. larger market in
which to buy manhfactures and a larger
iitsaket in which to sell farm products.
That the Ciinadin farmers' revolt
against the manufacturer& tariff should
have been so widereaching shows ; that
there is a feeling off discontent ihnong
them almost as atrong as that which has
given birth to our wn -, Farmer's Alli-
ance.
, THE big daily pa ere' of TorontbI' the
I
Empire and Mail, a em to be troubled
with a surplus of m ney since the .elec-
Cone. Some time before the el'tions,
they were quarrelli g about the c mule -
tion of the respecti$re papers, and each
dared theother to t tip money i sup-
port of its claim- th a it had the larger
circulation. But when it came to th ques-
tion of money, bothfizzled out. Now,
however, everything is changed. A few
days ago the Empire renewed the oolieh
discussion by challenging the Mal to a
1
circulation contest,and placing a marked
cheque in the hands of the President of
the Board of Trade for $8,000 to be for-
feited in the event o a committee ;to be
ohoeen deciding that I the Mail has a cir-
culation large/. thas the Empire. On
the following 'day the Mail comes to the
front with another i$8,000 cheque, also
agreeing to forfeit itfif, on certain con-
ditions, it is not proven that it has a cir-
culation twice as large as that of the
Empire. That pape is now to be heard
from. It is of very ittle interest to the
public, which of th in has the ! larger
circulation, but it ight be_ intereiiting
to the -• taxpayers o the Dominion to
e
know tehere all the money came films.
Being so flush immediately after the
electio 8, has a sus idfous look, at any
i
rate.
THE re-count of he ballots in North
Middl sex has reahl ed in increasing the
majority of Mr. Ilutchins, Conserva-
tive, rom two t six. It is stated,
howev r, that some grave irregularlies
have •eels oommittell, which may c use
furthe legal proce dings, resulting in
the vo ding of the election. But, ir the
mean- ime, Mr. Hut -chins will take his
seat. In South Wentworth, Mr.'Car-
penter the Conservative elect has had
a majo ity of three 'lel duced to a mojor-
ity of one. A pretty close call for Mr.
Carpe ter. The seat of Hon. Mr; Fos-
ter, in Kings, New Brunswick, is also
in considerable da ger. The majority
given izgr the Return ng Officer, was only
ithirtyifour. A re- ount was to lake
place,, but Mr. Fos r'e agent having
made himself scarce could not be served
with the necessary notice, and the $lidge
adjourned proceedings until T esday.
In North Bruce, Mr. McNeill, t e Con-
eervative elect was confirmed in his
seat by a slightly reduced m jority,

going twelve miles, getting there about

Dr. Holmes Returns Thanks.
To the Electors of the East Riding cf
Huron:
GENTLEMEN,—To those of you who
supported Ime during the recent contest,
I detire to return my hearty thanks,and
to explain that coming late into the
field with a voters' list by us sadly neg-
lected, my defeat was a, foregone con-
clusion.
To those of you who opposed me and
through me the Grovernment,on account
of the "Free Trade cry, anew me to
repeat my argument during the cam-
paign, viz,: That- unrestricted recipro-
city with the United States without
tariff uniformity against the outside
world was an utter impossibility, with&
uniform tariff it became commercial
union, and was a tortuous but sure road
to political absorption, meanwhile do-
ing us infinite mischief. As to the
soundness of this view I commend for
your consideration Mr. Blake's letter.
To all of you, I wish a healthy, pros-
perous and happy future in this our own
Canada, withe the opportunity at some
day, not far distant, of marking your
ballots for
Yours sincerely,
Wm. J. R. HOL3IES.
