"What constitutes days work ?"

We figure it that it depends upon
your occupation. If you lay brick
it takes eight hours; if you keep
house, sixteen hours; if you preach
the gospel, two hours; if you serve
the government, one hour: and if
you are a newspaper man, twenty
four hours.

Country life has its drawbacks

Directions For Packing EGGS.

Use only perfectly fresh eggs.
Stale eggs will not keep by any
method of preservation. Clean
out the vessel in which the eggs
are to be packed, preferably IA
stone jar, by scalding with boiling
water. Prepare the solution, US
ing water that has been first boiled
and then cooled to ordinary tenn
perature.
To each l5 quarts of water add
one quart of water glass. Pack
the eggs into the jar and pour the
liquid over them, covering the eggs
completely. Do not wash the
eggs before packing them, as this
may injure their keeping qualities
by removing "A natural protective
coating ON the outside of the shells.
Keep the eggs packed in this
manner in cool, dark place such
as dry, cool cellar.
Each days gathering of eggs
may be packed Immediately after
gathering them, in the jar and
pouring over them just enough of
the solution to cover them. This
is better than to hold the eggs for
several days at the risk of their be-
coming stale in order to have a
sufficient number to fill the entire
vessel at one time. Eggs packed
in this fashion are said to keep as
long as four weeks after they ha e
been taken out the preservative
