Water Glass for Keeping Eggs.
IA. III. DanIeISOl


read in one of the papers an in
quiry in regard to preserving eggs by
the use of water glass. In this con-
nection it may interest some of your
readers to know of an experiment L
performed last year. In the spring
| bought twenty hens to supply us
with fresh eggs but for fear the hens
would not do their duty and to make
sure of eggs anyhow 1 bought a case
containing thirty dozen, when the
price was at fifteen cents. Just then
the hens began business and some
thing had to be done with that case OF
eggs. l bought a pound of water glass
or sodium silicate at the drug store
for thirty-five cents, measured out
twenty-five times as much boiled
water and mixed it with the water
glass. When cool it was poured over
the eggs in a large jar.
After three months some of the
eggs were sampled and found to be
good. They were then used as needed
until some of the ggs had been in the

fresh eggs into dish and the SIX
months old preserved eggs INTO an
other side by side and by taste or
smell have been unable to distinguish
between them. The only change
seems to be in the white OF the pre-
served eggs, which becomes more
liquified, but this does not atfect the
edible qualities OF the egg. Inc shell
of the preserved eggs becomes white
and somewhat porous and no one Will
mistake it for a fresh egg by outside
appearance.
The solution after a few months

wing disease is announcer IrOuDle
which sometimes finds its way into
loft. Some breeders say it does not
pay to bother with bird thus affect
ed but such has not been my expert
ence. l have had a number of such
cases and have always successfully
effected a cure. The disease is, L
think, most always caused by the
bird striking its wing in the house
or in coming in or going out of the loft.
A lump forms at the joint, the wing
droops and the bird is unable to fly
If neglected it will die. A short time
ago a Silver bar hen which | prize
very highly was attacked with wing
trouble at a time when she had eggs,
and was compelled to desert them be-
cause she could not fly to and from
her nest. l removed her from the
pen, treated her for couple of weeks
and she is now back in the main loft
apparently cured. The lump has dis
appeared, and the bird flies almost
as we'll as before her trouble. The
best cure l have found is TO pluck the
flight feathers. Paint the swelling
every other day with iodine. The re-
moval of the tail feathers will often
aid in effecting a cure as it relieves
JuS SlCh Ull u Ii Jill vi dSSlh6 IL OuhU
The same reason is assigned for re-
moving the flight feathers.
The disease, of course, is not con-
tagious and the bird may be returned
to the main loft after a half dozen
treatments unless by doing so she is
driven too hard by her mate. In the
event, of course, of the sick bird be-
ing a cock no such risk would be in
cured.
Going light is another disease which
the best of breeders will sometimes en-
counter. It's causes are many. The
cock sometimes drives hen too hard
and she gets the disease. The bird
will drOop, and sit about the floor and
if you pick it up and examine it you
will find that it is nothing but skin,
bones and feathers. Remove the bird
from the pen and give it dose daily
of gentian. This is regarded as one OF
the best tonics in the world for pigeons
and a bottle of it should be in every
loft Feed the medicine with drop
per. A half dozen drops constitute a
dose. Give the sick bird little choice
grain, such as hemp, millet and peas,
and in a few days you will note an i'm
provement.
Very often a cure for this disease
may be effected by plucking at onel
pluck all the tail feathers. Do not
take them out one by one but bring
them all out in one jerk. The effect
of this treatment on bird is some
times remarkable.
Young birds that you intend to save
for breeders should have their first tail
feathers plucked, for it is well known
that the death rate among birds that
have their first tail feathers removed
is far less than among others which
are allowed To retain hem.
