(Compiled by a Practical agriculturist.) , • Preserving Eggs. • No articles , employed • for. human food are liable to alegreat deterioration as eggs. Warions method S have been suggested or employed-- fpr-teeping eggs laid- during warm weather so that they Will be laa condition •to use in the winter, when strictly-freelinhies are very maneand - high. A Method is greatly needed for preserving those that are to be eaten during the simmerand falr. A'Very- Large' eproportion of the • eggs that are sold in large cities after the month Of May- are unlit to eat. The uncertainty of their con- dition prevents them frona being common • articles of food. They are used for pies, • puddings and pastry, but a much smaller. number are served as eggs usually are when they are known to be in "strictly.good •• condition, Could customers be -assured that all the eggs they bought were in a con- dition to be eaten when boiled or fried the -demand for them wieulcl be doubled; even if the price was increased. At the.preeent price 'ef fresh meat 'city custonaers could, . afford. to pay 25 cents per dozen for eggs if theywere assured all they bought were strictly fresh. The uncertainty of their condition °lame their diminished con- sunaption after the, elope 14 spring, The ,hisses ,on eggs sustained by ehippers, dealers and consumers amount to many millions of. dollars everyeyear. There, is -a -prejudice ' against the employment a antiseptics that will penetrate the shells of eggs and thereby aid in preserving the contents. What is. wanted is a naetlaodof excluding the air BO simple that it can be • employed on eggs before they are sentto ' market. A covering is wanted that shall • be adhesive and impermeable to air and. moisture, and which will not injure the appearance of the Shells. Does Farming Pay? The proceeds of the Stratton Farm, con- taining 320 acres, situated two miles north- east of Lincoln,. Nebraska, will sum up .about as follows for.the year 1882 : . Grains, ---Five thousand bushelaof corn, -1,000 bushels of oats, some sugar' cane; vegetables -250 bushels of potatoes, 10 tons ,of turnips, 3 tons of beeta,-13*Wagginiloadi - of field pumpkins and squashes,' and an abundance of garden- vegetables of the finest varieties. • Hay and pasture. -Two hundred tons of hay ; on the farm are two fenced-0,1461ms,, one of wire, that kept eight headiof °OM'S, some young cattle, and would have supplied as many more; the other of board fence, ,in which run twenty head of horses. Fruits. -There was an , abundance of ,•grapes, also geed variety ,of small fruits,; a lot of peaches,.. the 'first" bearing of 800 trees; a few apples gathered from an orchard planted four years ago, consisting 'of 2,000 trees.',S ' .) Hogs. -There Were fed hogs, Of which about 1,000 were.sold early in the fall'at :per 100 lbs. live weight. , • Weeds. -None were allowed to 'grew on the farm. All the•drivee, and avenues, as well as highways bordering onathe farm, - of which there are .two miles and a half,' , planted with maplesewere kept mewed and ;free from weeds; alsoa well -kept lawn, with a good , variety of-evergreene and ••shrubbery. ' •6. ' Besides all this, theiriee in Value of the farm would be about equal to40 Per cent.' on all investments. Does farming pay? • The Blight of Wheat. , Professor W. J. .Beal has been giving •attention to the wheat blight, and, reports his conelusions to The Michigan, Tanner. The visitation referred to h,ae been noticed in many fields of ;that State, involVee from, a kernel or two to nearly the whole head; and in some hicalitiee it is thought to have destroyed a fifth of the:- crop The blighted portion has brown or yellow chaff, as though the wheat were ,ripe„ .while, the rest is yet green. I do net attribute the failure to a lack of fertilization. by- ,the pollen, as in most cases the. kernels are half-grown. Wheat is generally close far. tilized, i. e., the pollen gets upon the stigma of a flower before the' chaff opens. f In Buell case.the rain would not 'likely hinder fer- tilization. The trouble is caused by some • one or more fungi, and which one I am not, yet certain. I find several together ,in and. about the kernel. There is a penicillium, an erysiphe and many hacteria. Doubtless some of these ocour simply as. they would on any dwindling or decaying. plant. I have Been sonaething of this sort neaxiy.. every year for a long time, worse in some years than otheir.' This year has been fav- orable for fungi. • We have had no end.to, rain, the plants .had toce tench' Witter, too Little light. The stalke and all the rest are .snoculent and not used to sanlight.1, With • all these, and .now and the, ea sailwarm day called muggy 'weather, you tatty look Out for wheat blight.

In reference to --twsuclden-appearanne-chliTeliliglit,, 1. may say that many of the lower fungi adt inthis way. The vegetative portions of the Min- ute plants, the (mycelium) roote,. if you please so to term them, are at work on the foster plant, drawing nouriahment and establishing themselves before thefruit or spore's of Vale fungue appear, or before the larger iiTants, show any, signs of disease. Fungi feed on ..other plants, taking the • nourishment already assimilated, , hence they can grow with amazing rapidity." Late Mural JoilIngs. . .
