Numerous methods of preserving eggs
are in use, says Field and Farm. The
idea of all of them is to keep out the
air so that oxygen decay may be arrest
ed for considerable length of time, es
pecially if the eggs are perfectly fresh
at the start and are kept in COOL dark
place. The standard method most used
by spectators and dealers is to put
eggs in lime water. The process is as
follows, this recipe having been widely
sold at So under pledge of secrecy. Take
two gallons Of water twelve pounds OF
unslaked lime and four pounds of salt,
or in that proportion, according to the
quantity of eggs to be preserved. Stir
several times daily and then let stand
until the liquid has settled and is per-
fectly clear. Draw or carefully dip off
the clear liquid, leaving the sediment
at the bottom. Take five ounces each
of baking soda, cream of tartar, salt
peter and an ounce of alum. PulveriZe
and mix these and dissolve in one gal
lon of boiling water and add to the
mixture twenty gallons of pure lime
water. This will about fill cider bar
rel. Put the eggs in carefully so as
not to crack any of the shells, letting
the water always stand an inch above
the eggs, which can be done by placing
a barrel head little smaller upon them
and weighing it. This amount of
liquid will preserve $50 dozen eggs. 1t
is not necessary to wait to get full
barrel or smaller package of eggs, but
can be put in at any time if fresh. The
same liquid should be used only once.

SLIDING Sugar Beets.

It is the custom in some localities to
haul sugar beets to the factory If pos
sible when harvested, and if it is not
possible to do this they are gathered
and placed in long ricks or piles on the
surface Of the ground. The base of
these ricks or piles is from to 312 feet
with height of to 4 feet, tapering to-
ward the top. Along each side of these
ricks several burrows are run with a
stirring plow in order to loosen the
dirt. The ricks are then completely
covered with this dirt by the aid of
shovels. This covering is put on to the
depth of about 6 inches, occasionally
air spaces or ventilators being left on
the tops Of the ricks, which are usually
made by the use Of thing or small elon-
gated wooden boxes or simply straw,
the purpose being to prevent fermenta-
ton.
Storing the beets in this way is call
ed SLIDING, and the rfcks or piles are
called silos. In case severe cold wealth
er comes on, these silos are covered
with straw manure, straw or some
thing of that sort, and then an addi-
tiOnal amount Is thrown on the straw
covering In this way it has been
found that the beets will keep in very
good condition until the last of Janu-
airy if necessary.

Dairy GIeauincs.

It is not always the man with the
biggest herd Of cows who clears the
most money from his dairy.
Gilt-edged butter is more to be de-
sired on the average customers plate
than any delicacy of the season.
The dairy woman who churns before
"sun up in the morning often makes
firm grained butter without the use Of
ice.
The reason some farmers never ex-
tract the latent gold in dairy cows is
that they persist in looking to the grain
and corn fields for it.
1t is parody on cleanliness to try to
strain filth out of milk when it might
have been obviated by the exercise Of
the most ordinary precautions
Despite all of the laws to the con-
trary, SKINNED cheese is yet sold for
full cream" and oleomargarine for
real butter Where is the remedy?
It is curious fact, and yet true, that
some of the most profitable moments
any one engaged in dairying can spend
are in repeated washing Of the hands.
While it pays to raise good hogs in
conjunction with the dairy, it never has
or never will pay the mandatory to
keep the swine quartered near cheese
factory or creameTy.-Gychange.

gone through the various trials of three
years with poultry, he is in a position
to extend his business with profit or to
give it up in disgust. If the latter is
the result it is proof conclusive that he
is not fitted to the business, or that he
has not profted by his experience. In
either case the loss will not have been
very heavy. Get experience, then ex-
tend, Is the best possible advice for
those who want to go into the poultry
business, and it applies to those who
wish to raise poultry and eggs for the
city markets quite as much as to those
who expect to become breeders of the

Employments and Insanity.

A French scientist has been investi-
eating the interesting question Of which
kind of employment most quickly
wears out the brain. He has found out
that military and naval professions are
the worst a man can enter if he wants
to go sane to the grave. Out Of 1O0,-
600 naval and military men 1919 are con-
firmed lunatics Next come the liberal
professions, artists heading the list,
followed closely by lawyers, and more
distantly by clergy, doctors, literary
men and civil servants. The number
of those who go mad is 1T to each
100000. Domestic servants and day
laborers run the professional men very
cloose, sending 155 out Of each 100000
to the asylum. These are closely fol-
lowed at long distance by mechanics,
only sixty-siA Of whom go mad In each
100000. And the group which is most
favorable to sanity is, contrary to gen.
eral belief, that of commercial men.
which sends only forty-two out of 1OO,-
600 to the lunatic asylums.

Good Care of Stock Paws.

Never try to lay up big bank ac-
count by raising scrub stock, says the
Farmers Advocate. If you have good
grade Of stock and cannot afford to buy
one or more thoroughbreds, you can
make your grade stock better by liberal
feeding and good care. Stunning young
stock, though they may be thorough
breds, will in a short time reduce them
to worse than scrubs, because scrubs
are never used to and do not receive
but very ordinary care. The thorough
bred does expect liberal feeding and
good care, and will degenerate without

shown. So long as there is no pressure
on the wires between the ring and the
horns the nose ring is simply held up
ward without any discomfort to the
animal. Should the bull rush any 9TH
er animal or attempt to get through
any fence the pressure pulls the nose
ring upward, causing considerable pain.
1t requires very few experiences to
teach the animal that any misbehavior
on his part is attended by suffering to
himself. One prominent breeder says
even the fercest Of bulls is quickly
tanned by his device.

Feeding and Watering Fowls.

Where there is scratching shed con-
nected with the poultry house, all of
the feeding should be done there. If,
however, this valuable addition can not
be had, and the feeding and watering
must be done in the roosting room, some
provision should be made so that the
food will be neither wasted or soiled
by the fowls, says the Indianapolis
News. Crates are inexpensive, and are
readily constructed Of light material.
The Stats should be Of smooth lumber
and placed so that the fowls can get
their heads in and out without diff
Guilty. They should be open in front and
on both sides, if placed against the
walls of the house, or, if set in the
open space, they should be open on both
sides and both ends. Each crate should
have a solid floor Of boards and a hing
ed" top, SO that the pans of food and
water may be placed in position with
little trouble, and the crates be readily
cleaned If the house is so small that

Wanfs a Tariff Rest,

Let us have ten years rest from tariff
agitation and tariff tinkering. All the
industries and people are now fully en-
ployed, and at least ten more years Of
steady labor will be necessary to enable
them to regain all they lost during the
unequaled stagnation and hard times
Of the Wilson tariff. Mr.. Babcock's
theories would~no have the slightest
effect against trusts and combines if
they should be enacted into law, but
agitation and tariff tinkering would be
certain to injure the labor and business
Of every American citizen.-Iowa State

Farmers are getting pretty good

Are They Criminals?

Let us reason in this sugar tariff bust-
ness. Was it not about the time it was
proposed to put protective tariff on
tin plate that our Democratic tariff re-
formers were filling the air with pro-
tests? They alleged the thing itself was
patent on the face, it could never be
done. The thing was too vast and we
never could get the skilled help SO nee
essary. But the Republican party in
sisted and to-day there is a vast in
dustry known as the tin plate industry,
all established within ten years. Yet
to-day coming from Republican sources
are severe attacks upon the beet sugar
industry, an industry established by
the very same tariff that established so
successfully the tin plate industry. 1t
is asserted this sugar business is so
vast it can never be done, and more OF
that sort of argument borrowed from
our Democratic tariff reformers of
years back.
There are Republicans clamoring for
tariff reform, and for the very things
the immense trusts now are ready for
free-trade, and much of their labor is
saved by borrowing from the Cleveland
books Of previous campaigns. The
question may well be asked, in where
have these beet sugar men become
criminals, any more than have our citi-
zens who have amassed fortunes in
other protected industries ?-Racine

Conservative Recommendations.

The recommendations Of the reciproc-
ity convention are eminently conserva-
tive. They contemplate the mainten-
ance Of the protective policy, with mod
ifications Of the tariff only In special
cases, and where 1t can be done with
out injury to any Of our home interests
Of manufacturing commerce or farm
ing.' This appears to meet the idea of
Mckinley that I'VE should take from
our customers such of their products
that we can use without harm to our in
dustries and labor.'-Omaha Bee.

No Sentiment in Trade.

There is no sentiment in trade, and
foreigners do not buy Of us simply be-
cause we buy Of them. That is amply
demonstrated by our trade with South
America. Brazil imports over $100,000,-
600 worth and the United States sup
plies about 10 per cent of those imports.
The United States buys from Brazil
FIVE times as much as it sells to that
country, and it carries on a one-sided
trade of that kind with other South
American countries. = Philadelphia

Reck1essness of Haste.

Using Lime Inte1ligent1y.

The testimony on the part Of farmers
to use lime without much regard to the
condition of the soil is wrong. Where
the soil is plainly acid in character as
shown by tests with blue litmus paper
the use of lime, in quantities sufficient
to reduce the acidity of the soil, is adj
vocated, but it's continued use year af-
ter year is not in the line Of progressive
agriculture unless the crops are such
as to demand lime in greater or less
quantities during the season. Of course,
this can only be known by actual tests,
for while in one soil currants, barley,
oats, onions and other plants, which
are benefited by the application Of lime
in a general way, will respond freely
to the lime treatment, in other soils
they would not be benefited, but might
be injured. The blue litmus paper test
referred to consists in placing small
piece of blue litmus paper, obtainable
at any drug store, in crack in the
soil made by the blade of spade and
leaving it there for twenty-four hours;
If the soil is acid and needs lime the
paper will turn red. This should be
the general guide in the use Of lime on
farms where a miscellaneous lot of
crops are grown.-Indianapoli News.

Cannibalism Among Swine.

In nine cases out of ten where sows
kill and eat their young the trouble Is
due entirely to improper feeding, and it
will be generally found that such sows
are fed on corn diet almost exclusive
ly. The brood SOW needs protein be-
fore and while she is nursing the pigs.
During the period when the brood sow
is on the range she should have an
abundance of green food and in some
variety, rape especially being good for
her. The grain foods should be bran,
meas oats, and little or no corn, and
when confined she should have plenty
of clover hay to take the place of the
green food of the summer. Aside from
the danger of the sow eating the young.
the corn diet Is too heavy, nearly al
ways exciting a feyerish condition bad
for both the sow and the pigs.-Ex-
