I’he F?sr Bu-ino-s in (hi* ( orb try.
—I be eg.; traffic of this country has
risen to an importance which few com
prehend. The aggregate transactions in
New York city alone must amount to
fully $8 000,000 {>er annum and in the
l nited r-tates to $18,000,000. The per*
ishib’e nature of eggs has naturally de
tracted from their value as a standard
artic!*' f diet. The peculiar excellence
of eg<:s depend upon their freshness. But
lately the process of crystalizing has
been resorted to, and by this process the
natura egg is converted into a vitreous
substance of a delicate amber tint, in
which form it is reduced seven eighths
fn bulk compared with barrel eggs, and
retains its properties foiPvears, unim
pared in any climate. In this form eggs
may be transported without injury,
either to the equator or poles, and at
any ti ue can be restored to their origi
nal c lition by simply adding the water
wh aas been artificially taken away.
lh (.iiiefeggdesiccating companies are
in St. Louis and Yew York. No Balts or
other extraneous matters are introduced
in the process of crystalizing, the product
being s.mply a consolidated mixture of
the yolk and albumen. Immense quan
tities of eggs are preserved in the spring
of the year by liming. Thus treated!
they are good for every purpose except
boiling fr i a common fraud for some
dealers to palm off eggs so treated as
lresh, so that imposition is easily prac
ticed. In the desiccating process, how
ever, the difference becomes apparent, as
from four to five more limed eggs are
required Lo make a pound of eggs crys
tal lzed than when fresh are used, and
eegs in the Ipast tainted will not crystal
ize at all .--[Colorado Farmer.

Quite a number of horses have been

A writer in an exchange says: “I
laid in a stote or sod cut in pieces, for
my chicken house last winter, and found
‘t most valuable for the fowls. I packed
it in one corner of the house, aud before
spring the poultry had pulled it all to

There would seem to be no end to big
crop’s this year. In the north we have
ihe largest live stock and corn cropa for
many years, and now comes along the
south with an enormous cotton crop,
amounting to 4.811,265 bales against
4,485.423 bales in 1877. This i's the
largest crop since that of 1859 60, the i
greatest ever known.
The following is on the wing, which
if true, we shall have to tally one for
whisky : Some years ago I was told
that a mellowing drink of whisky or beer
given to a sow that refuses to let her
pigs suck, would induce her to adopt
them kindly. A few days since a neigh
bor who had worried all night with a
valuable sow, applied for assistance, and
advice being much cheaper and easier
than work, I urged him till he admin
istered half a pint of whisky. It worked
like a charm. She received her eight
little one3 with the usual porcine ex
pressions of maternal satisfaction, and
has been a kind mother ever since. Will
the readers of the Rural remember this
and keep on hand the said “ half pint; ”
but don’t drink it yourself, it might
have the same effect on your poor self.—

One of the adjuncts to the workshop
of every farm ought to be a set of tools
needed in mending harness, so that the
boys may, on rainy days, learn anew
trade, and save quite an expense. With
harness, a a.itch in time, saves not nine,
but ninety nine more. The essentials are,
two awls, needles, waxed ends, and a
clamp to hold the pieces to bo sewed.
The last may be made out of a couple of
barrel staves fastened to a block, and
tightened by a strap around the middle.
Some mending will have to g© to the
shop; but, in the course of the year,
quite a sum can be saved by merely
sewing up the ripped and torn places in
the harness or padding. We have found
c<>pper rivets, sold in half pound boxes,
of great advantage in mending harness.
Half-inch rivets come into play oftenest,
though a few three-quarter inch ones
may be needed.
Tuts very old mode, among tidy far
mers, ti make their apple orchards* look
nice, but which for years has been next
to abandoned, ii coming into vogue
again, and discussions are being held as
to the propriety of it. The German
town Telegraph says: *‘ What we know
about the matter ourselves is, that we
do not think that it makes much dif
ference so far as the health and producs
tivene-* of the trees are concerned,
whether they are white washed or not.
In other words, we do not think it pays.
It certainly has a tendency to close the
liores of the trunks, as well as that it
has an unnatural appearance. So far as
it is declared that the white wash causes
the old bark to scale off and hiding
places of insects to be disturbed, and
this is about ail that is claimed for it;
how much better for every farmer hav
ing an orchard, to scrape the trees once a
year, or only every other year, and fol
low it with a washing of whale oil soap
or catholic soap and water, applied with
a short broom. This would be sure to
dislodge the insec' s, opeu the pores of
the trees, and give them a natural ap
pearance. This would do the work
effectually, and leave no room for doubt
or discussion. \Y hatever aid the white
washing ot trees may be to their health
and productiveness, the best orchards we
ever saw, which bore full crops tor a
generation, were not white-washed, but
scraped and washed with soft soap.”
e frequently come across remon
6^r^css against keeping harness in
stables, the reason given being that the
ammonia prevalent there rots the leather
ariu soon destroys the harness. Now this
is beginning at the wrong end to remedy
an evil. We mav talk and advise, “ year
in anu year out, ’ about the matter, but
harness will be kepi in the stable in
spi-e ot&!. Where else can the majoritv
ot peoDle who keep horses hang these
trappings? A rich man may have a
cioset in which the harness may hang
aa:eiy from fear of ammonia and all other
dangers; but the average horse owneis
will have his peg behind the team, be
cause he can have no other way of dis
posing of the harness. But the trouble
wou.u end if the production of ammonia
prevented. Enter an ordinary
staole. at any period, but especially in
the winter, when every cranny through
ivlnch the w’ind can come in is carefully
stopped, and what an offensive odor
oneai s the nostrils and irritates the
eyes. Is this odor of ammonia, strongly
alk-uine and irritant, injurious only to
the harness ? What of the horses, and
the tender membranes of the eye, the
thro it and the nssd passage? Do you
think they are less sensitive than oak
tanned harness leather, well greased and
(•reserved as it is ? By no means. If
the prevalvent odors injuriously effect
.-eather, you may be sure the eyes
sun r. the throat and lungs are irritated
and the nasal passages becomes inflamed.
hen occurs the frequent moon-blind
ness, ophthalmia, weeping of the eyes,
followed by inflammation, white specks ;
then follow coughs, bronchitis, pneu
monia, heaves, catarrh, nasal gleet; and
by-and-by, when the blood has become
poisoned by the absorption of diseased
matter from icfl tmed and suppurated
membranes, farcy and glanders— dreadful
and fatal to min or bsast, too— result.
And while we think of saving the har
ness and removing it to a purer place, i
the beast which is worth a dozen sets of
it, is ieit to rot from theae pungent
gases without gny help. Clean the
■tables and the harness may hang in
them in aa/ety ; and be sure, it the stable
is not a fit place for the harness, it is no
place for the horse. A barrel ot plaster
be procured for about one dollar.
It is worth that as a fertilizer. It is
| worth ten dollars aa a absorbent of
ammonia, and a hundred as a health
preserver to the horses, not counting the
saving to the harness. (Sprinkle it
everywhere, and be liberal with it.—

The average grain product of Europe
is repotted at 5,000,000.000 bushels, of
which Russia raises one-third, France
and Germany 520,000,000 bushels each
and Austria 500,000,000. The United
States produces 1,600 000,000 bushels
(about the quantity that Russia does),
which, in proportion to our population,
is a much larger production than any
other country can boast of. Counting
our inhabitants at 40,000,000, we
raise 40 bushels per head, and Europe’s
nhabitants at 300,000,000, she raises hut
16 bushels per head. Russia has 26 and
Great Britian only 4 bushels per head.
The amount of grain cunsumed being
generally 15 bushels per head, we pro
duce nearly three times as much as we
want, Russia almost twice as much as
she needs, and Great Britian not more
than one-fourth of her requirement.
Thus, it will be seen, that the production
far exceeds the consumption, but the
excess is absorbed by breweries aod dis
tilleries, at home and abroad, which,
more than any other cause, keeps up the

A Chie Liiu, to the Highland bound,
cries, “ Boatman, do not tarry, and I’ll
give y.- u & dollar and a half to row us
across the lake.”
“ Now, who be ye would cross Loch
} Gyle this dark and etormj night ?”
j aked the ferryman, with rntich curi
osity.
“ What is that to you, you bald-beaded
snipe of th* valley? ’ replied the Chief
j tain, growing pale about the gills. ‘‘lf
j I pay you a good round sum for your
i services it appears to me your interest in
the matter should end there. Do you
j require the pedigree of every man,
woman or child you takeaero3 in your
j internal scow ? It it wasn’t that I’m in
j a hurry I’d smack your jaws for your
i impudence, but as it Ls,” displaying a
j handful of coin, “as it is. I’m the Chief
|of Ulva’s Isle, and this—Lord Ulian's
j daughter. His horsemen hard behind
j us ride, and should they overtake us here
! in the glen it would go hard with us.”
Out spoke the hardy Highland wight,
i while he unlocked his skiff and told them
J to get in : “ I’ll go, my Chief, I’m ready;
but considering the terrible storm, I hope
you will make it two dollars, although,
as a matter of fact, I do not venture
forth for a mere money
but for your winsome lady. I have been
there to some extent myself, and can
appreciate the situation, so, by my word,
the bonny bird in danger shall not tarry.
Sit a little more in the middle to trim
the boat, please, and here we go!”
By this the storm grew loud a pace,
the water-wraith was shrieking, and
other things looked most mighty dark.
But still as wilder grew the storm, and
as the night grew drearier, adowu the
glen rode at least a dozen men, with old
Ullan at the head on a cream colored
mule. “Oh, haste thee, haste I” the
lady cries; “though tempests round us
gather, I’ll meet the raging storm, but
not my angry pa. ” So on" they rowed
amid the roar of waters fast prevailing,
and when Lord Ullan reached the shore
his wrath was dreadful to behold. And
no wonder. For sore dismayed, through
storm and shade, he discovered his
daughter out in the boat with a smile on
her lip, and salt spray in her eye, and
both arms around her lover. For a while
itseemed that he would take it out of
his hired men and the cream colored
mule, as he declared he would have the
former beheaded as soon as he got home/
and the latter he waa hammering over
the ears with a club. Presently he took
another tack: “Come- back! come
back!” he cried in grief, “across tne
stormy water, and I’ll forgive your High
land bey, my daughter 1 oh, my daugh
ter! and also settle the bill with the
ferryman. ”
But the young lady xould not be
caught so easily. Neither could the
young man, who told the ferryman to
press on, and then turning around in the
boa - , still keeping one arm about his
sweetheait to prevent her falling out,
called to the old gentleman : “ Much
obliged lor your kind invitation, my dear
sir, but we will not come back at" pres
ent, You can expect us, however, in
the course of a week or ten days. Till
then, adieu ! ” Lord Ullan called again.
’Twas vam ; the loud waves lashed the
shore ; return, they wouldn’t think of it.
In fifteen minutes they were on the other

A Paris “Creche.”
Letter to San Francisco Call.
In the French educational department
is a mod 1 of a ‘ creche” in working
order. A “creche” is an establishment
where working mothers may leave their
infants during the day to be cared for
It keeps during the hours of work the
infant of fifteen days to that of three
years of age. The “creche” is visited
daily by a physician and lady inspectors.
No infant is allowed to pass "the night in
one. No infant is admitted if sick.
There are over thirty “creches” in
Paris and several of the suburban towns.
They accommodate from forty to one
hundred infants daily. Some are gratu
itous, and others require a small fee.
Each “creche” is constructed after a
certain fixed model, and contains a gars
den, covered yard, play room, din
ing room, kitchen, lineu room, provision
and toilet room, and cradle room.
The “creche” was first establiehed be
tweeu thirty and forty years ago. I
visited one yesterday i found it in all
respects as represented—theoretically a
most deairable refuge fora poor mother’s
infant during working hours. Every
apartment was thoroughly neat and clean.
It contained accommodations for forty
children. About twenty were in charge
during my visit. The care of these
devolved upon two persons—a man and
a woman.
Here were fifteen two year olds in the
covered yard. The ground was covered
with mats, on which some were sitting,
some standing, and some toddling about!
Of course at this age they couldn’t talk
much with each ether, and the faculties
hadn’t ripened sufficiently to develop
any regular plan of amusement. They
locked like children of poverty and
ciime, but they were neat and clean,
a.id ail wore pinafores of a coarse check,
which I presume were furnished at the
“creche.” Their condition was certainly
bttter than if left in charge of the next
oldest sister, who grows up onesided
lugging the baby month :n and month
out on one hip, while the pair are always
seen on the street corner, both on a
plane of equality in the matter of dirty
faces, uncareu for noses, frowsy heads,
sticky fingers and ragged dresses.
We yi/ited the sleeping room. Forty
iron cradles swu lg on supports of the
same materi all supplied with clean
beds, sheets and pillow cases, occupied
oue side of the room. It was very toy like
in its furnishing. The little low table
and seats are arranged in two concentric
circles, so the children go in at one end
of the be ches and come out at the other,
thus preventing any crowding or confu
don. The children are also furnished
with toys.
French Petty Employes.
Frazer’s Magazine.
There is a peculiar E’rench class, the
armv of small government employes, who
discharge their infinitely insignificant
but infinitely diversified functions
throughout the land, on salaries which
stretch between £32 and the vast* envied
and rare iinin ity of £l6 ’. Of the
600,000 civil ants requir< and by the
complicated an inquisitorial adminis
tration of Franc- one-half, at least, are
obliged by thei .i ccupations to inhabit
the villages. The gardes champetres, the
forest keepers, the various foremen of
the national department ana Communal
roads, the multiform ageuts of the tax
collectors, the overlookers of navigation
on the rivers and canals, the inspectors,
surveyors and overseers of every possible
process, thing or deed that can any how
be inspected, surveyed or overseen, and
crowds of other diminutive officials with
a line of gold or silver braid on their
kepis, are all, by the essentially local
nature of their calling, dwellers in the
country. How they manage to lodee,
nourish, clothe and educate their families
on an average pay of about £6O a year
is a mystery worthy to be classed among
the great enigmas of life ; but they do
it, and, furthermore, they constitute a
society. In certain villages, indeed,
their group composes a recognized aris
tocracy ; they are the jreat world of the
place; they possess the advantages of
ran* ; the Sunday bonnets of their wives
and daughters arouse emotion among
ci>-wearing spectators. An*i all this ie
paid for br about twenty-five shillings a
week! Very wonderful. But the
people of this curious category are ren
dered more remarkable still by a pecu
liarity which is proper to themselves,
which saturates and permeates them by
an unimaginable servility to their
superiors, and by an equally unimagin
able arrogance to everybody e'se. They
cringe and they bully with a skill which
is the mot productive and the most
evident of their professional endowments
and which sets the beholder wondering
wbat hidden grace there can be in the
service ol the French government to
develop so wonderful a capacity of alter
nate ob;equiousnees and insolence in its
lower retainers. It is all over hranee;
it sprouts in every wearer of a gold
lace cap ; but it is more striking in the
country than in the towns, for the
double reason that there is more space
for it in the former than in the latter,
an l that the people have more time to
contemplate it.
Why The Women Are Left Behind.
Interview with a Milwaukee Chinaman.
“ Why/' inquired the News man, “ if
you Chinamen care so much for vour
lamilies, and are constantly sending them
money for their support, do you not
bring your wives to America?’
Too small shoe,” was Mr. Ah Lum’s
piouipt reply. Then he proceeded to ex
plain in a language that the News man
benevolently translated for the public,
that owing to the high degree of cultiva
tion which the Chinese women have at
tained, they would be unable to walk the
streets, to drag swill carts, plow, go into
the lecture field or engage in the other
occupation 9 which are open to the soaring
genius of emancipated American women.
Further, we blush for Ah Lum in men
tioning it, he went on to declare that the
prudent Chinaman was frightened by
the extravagance of American wemen.
Knowing the frailty of the sex, he in
stinctively perceived that the Chinese
women if transplanted here would at
once adopt the custom of their American
sisters. The result would be that it
would cost eighty, nay even a hundred
dollare a month to support wives who
now are lapped in luxury on an allow
ance of five or six dollars a month.
When asked why Chinaman did not
marry American women, Ah Lum, with
a deprecating grin, stated that “ Melican
woman no likee Cninaman.”
Are Moles a Test l
I Germantown Telegraph.
There is a great difference of opinion
jas to this question. Our own is that
I the mole is harmless as a rule; sometime!
it damages law’us and gardens in pursuit
of its food, which usually is the earth
worm. If it should go through a hill of
corn and injure it by loosening the root
lets. it is still in pursuit of the earth
worm which is in dry times found about
the roots of corn and other vegetables,
grass, &c., more abundantly than else
where. So far as our observation extend
we have never known the mole to eat
vegetable matter. It would seem to bs
strictly a carnivorous animal. And oa
this head here is something to the point:
Mr. Weber, one of the savants of Zurich,
Switzerland, recently examined the
stomach of a number of moles caught in
different localities, but failed to discover
therein the slightest vestige of plants or
roots; whereas they were filled with the
remains of earthworms. He shut up
several of these animals in a box contain
ing earth and sod with growing grass
and k small case of grub or earthworms
In nine days two moles devoured 341
white worms, 193 earthworms, 25 cater
pillars and a dead mouse. Fed with a
mixed diet ox raw m. at and vegetables
the moles ate the meat and left the plants;
and when the vegetables exclusively
were dealt out to ti em in twenty-four
hours both died of starvation.
Argonaut Wives.
In San Francisco and other large towns
of California it is said that many of the
married women, past the middle age,
have been the wives of two, three, and
sometimes four or five different men,
owing to the freedom of divorce, which
used to exist, and still exists in a modi
fied form, in that state. Women were
in plentiful lack in the days of the Ar
gonauts, and for some time after ; and
when one appeared in the community
with good looks, intelligence and mag
netism to recommend her, she was well
nigh fought for. Asa rule, the women
who migrated to El Dorado were not o
the finest. Many of them were more or
less adventuresses, and, seeing their ex
treme msrketableness, enhanced their
value by very broad coquetry, and dis
posed of themselves to the highest bid
ders. After securing one husband, they
entertained proposals for another, and
not unfrequently slipped from No. 1 to
No. 2, through some legal trick, before
No. 1 had any idea that he had proved
maritally unsatisfactory. It is related
that, about 1853, three members of a San
Fancisco firm had each in turn the same
wife, in the space of twenty-four months
Some of the most matrimonially enter
prising women in the country journeyed
thither twenty t > twenty-five years ago,
and made their marriage remunerative
by getting settlements cash down before
the tying of the nuptial knot. The lives of
not a fsw of them would, if faithfully
chroni tied, read like the most sensational
of sensational novels.
Language of Finger Rings.
In the case of a gentleman wishing to
marry, literally in the market” with
his heart, he wears a piain or chased gold
ring upon the first finger of the left or
heart hand. When success attends his
suit, and he is actually engaged, the ring
passes to the third finger. If, however,
the gentleman desires to tell the fair
ones that he not only is not “in the
market,” but that he does not design to
marry at all, he wears the signet upon
ills little finger, and all the ladies may
understand that he is out of their reach.
With the fair sex “ the laws of the ring’
are: “A plain or gold ring on the little
finger of the right hand implies ‘ not
engaged ;’ or in plainer words, ‘ ready for
proposals, sealed or otherwise.’ 1 ’ When
engaged, the ring passes to the third fin
ger of the right hand. When married,
the third finger of the right hand
receives it. If the fair one proposes to
defy all sqige to her heart, she places the
rings on her first and fourth fingers—one
on each—like two charms to keep away
the temper. It is somewhat singular that
this latter disposition of rings is rare.
The SallonMl
Dyspepsia is the national complaint. Al
most every other man or woman you meet has
it, and the result is that the number of pseu
do remedies for it is as numerous as Pha
raoh’s host. They are for the most part worth
less. There is, however, a searching eradieant
of this distressing and obdurate malady, one
whose genuine merits long since raised it to
a foremost pi <ce among the staple medicines
of America. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters ex
tirpates dyspepsia with greater certainty and
promptitude than any known remedy, and is
a most genial invigorant, appetizer and aid
toseeretion. These are not empty as* ertious,
as thousands of our countrymen and women
who have experienced its eflecls are aware,
but are backed up by irrefragable proofs re
peatedly laid before'the public. The Bitters
also promote a regular habit of body and give
a healthful stimulus to the urinary organs.
Terribly exhausting are the night sweats
which accompany consumption. But they,
as well as the paroxysms of coughing, are
iuvariabiy broken up by Dr. Wni. Hall’s
Balsam for the Lungs, which conquers the
deadly malady, as well as bronchitis, pneu>
monia, pleurisy, asthma, diphtheria, and all
other affections of the throat, lungs and ,
chest. It saves thousands from untimeiy
graves, anu is invaluable in rescuing children
from the croup, whooping cough and quiezy
