Preserving Eggs.

In view of the very high prices
now to be obtained for eggs expert
ment reports to the Department OF
Agriculture on methods of preserv-
ing eggs should be of interest TO
farmers and poultrymen.
OF the many processes reported to
the department the water glass
method, using five and ten per cent.
solutions, and me-water-salt-brine
mixture method Gone pound of quick
lime, half pound of salt and one gall
Ion of boiled water) were found most
valuable. II has been found that
eggs can be kept in good condition
for home use for at least eight
months by immersing them in wat
er glass solution or in lime water and
salt brine, although those preserved
in water glass appeared to come out
In better condition than those kept in
the lime and salt mixture.
The following directions are given
by the department for packing eggs
in water glass;
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 a stone iar)
by scalding with boiling water.
Prepare the solution, using water
that has been first boiled and then
cooled to ordinary temperature.
To each fifteen quarts of water add
one quart of water glass. Pack the
eggs into the jar and pour the liquid
over them, covering the eggs COM
pletely. Do not wash the eggs be-
fore packing them, as this Injuries
their keeping qualities by removing
natural protective coating on the
outside of the shells.
Keep. the eggs packed in this man
ner in cool, dark place, such as a
dry, cool cellar.
Each days gathering of eggs may
be packed Immediately after gather
ing by placing 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 sew
| eral days at the risk of their becom-
ing stale in order to have a sufficient
number to f1ll the entire vessel at
| one time. In some of the warmer
| sections Of the country, during the
| summer months. the temperature Of
| ten rises high enough to start incu-
baton in eggs. In such localities
eggs must be packed soon after they
are laid or kept in some cool place
until they are to be packed
Water glass is a somewhat aka
line liquid, but the diluted solution
is not injurious to the hands If they
are dipped into it in packing success
sive gatherings of eggs, or in remov-
ing the eggs from the solution.
1t is stated that eggs packed by
this method will keep for some time
Gas long as four weeks) after they
have been taken out Of the preserva-
tive solution.

What "Dry Farming" Means.

Opposed to the old idea of raising
stock only and doing nothing which
could not be done on horseback, is
the new idea of thorough cultivation.
1t has remained for the new settlers
to demonstrate what the new country
is most valuable for
1t is impossible to raise the best
crops any place unless the ground is
cared for and seeded In a proper
manner. In the past the method of
tilling the soil was such that no rea-
sonable person would expect a sue
cessful crop.
For instance, until recently, 1t has
been the common practice OF farmers,
while harvesting wheat, oats and
other small grains, to let the stubble
lay as the binder passed over II until
time to plow for fall wheat.
In such cases the result is that II
wo have any dry weather at all the
land cakes. and when plowed in the
fall breaks up In large chunks, per-
mitting the air to penetrate TO the
bottom of the plowed ground and
thoroughly dry 1t out unless the
plowing Is followed with rain; but
the proper thing to do In such cases
is to follow the binder with disc
harrow and thereby mulch the land
about two inches deep.
After each rain this mulched
ground should be harreved. This ol

A Separator Pays Wcn.

There are hundreds of dairymen
who have a clear idea that the separ-
ator would pay well. In fact. they
believe they should haVo one, but
they look a long time at the cost and
try to convince themselves that they
cannot afford it, says an exchange
Secretly, they reason that half that is
claimed for the machine is not true,
and they will wait until more i'm
provements are made. Time goes on
and the convenient moment for in
vesting money is past. The dairy
man keeps promising himself that he
will get it a little later. In the fall
he says, Il will buy machine in the
spring" In the spring rush of work
comes on and he puts it off until fall.
All this Is wrong. Every month Of
delay makes it more difficult for the
man to raise the funds, and it makes
n larger hole IL the profits. You
may be better fl ied financially at a
future time, but the chances are you
will not, unless you take advantage
of every opportunity to increase your
profits at the present moment

Lay out the ears to be tested side
by side on table or on the floor; re-
move one kernel from near the butt
another from the middle and another
from the tip of the ear; turn the ear
over and take three kernels from the
opposite side in like manner; place
the six kernels at the end of the ear
from which they were taken, using
care that they do not get mixed with
the kernels from the ear next to it.
Boards may be laid over the rows of
corn to keep them in place until the
termination is known.
A termination box may be made
OF any shallow box filled about half
full of thoroughly moistened saw
dust. A cloth ruled off into blocks
or squares is placed on the sawdust
and fastened at the corners and edges
with tacks. Place the six kernels
from ear No. lin the row of ears)
in square No. l of the termination
box, and the kernels from ear No. 2
in square No. 2 and so on with all
the ears.
Then place over this a cloth con-
siderably larger than the box, cover
with about two inches of moistened
sand, earth or sawdust and keep in a
warm place; the sitting room is suit
able When the kernels have ger
minated, in four to six days, remove
the cover carefully to avoid misplace
ing the kernels in the square. or a
piece Of thin cloth were placed over
the kernels before the covering is put
on, 1t will prevent them from stick
ing to the upper cover).
If one or more kernels in any
square have failed to grow, find the
ear from which they were taken (by
its number or order In the row OF
ears) and throw it out. The ears
showing weak termination should be
| rejected the same as worthless ears.
In ninety-nine cases out of a hun
dren when farmers see the root
sprout start out in terminating a
] kernel of corn they will say it is "all
! right" In many tests it was found
/ that the stem sprout often failed tc
grow when the root started well.-

WORDS OF WISDOM.

. A girl sees nothing wrong in kiss
ing the right man.
AS long as a man lives he is dead
loss to the undertaken.
A back stoop may be all right-if
1t isn't on your shoulders.
With the amateur piano thumper
it seems to be all work and no play.
How frequently has a large hope
been created on small foundation!

his fingers.
A changeable climate is all right

better one.

meet men who point with pride or
view with alarm.
Did you ever notice what lot Of
friends you haven't got when you
happen to need one?
Vanity of woman looks like a

the conceit Of man.
The man who really knows a lot
about women is usually willing to
admit that he knows nothing.
No poor man has any business to
marry q woman who has q mania for

Even when a friend urgently re-

A Crane Umbrella.

A good substitute for missing
shade trees is made as follows: Plant
a stout post, nine feet high, where
you want the shade, setting the post
in two feet of earth; then nail firmly
to the top of it, at right angles, two
seven-foot strips of two-by-two inch
stuff.
The next thing to do is to get two
old tires from cart or wagon wheels,
have a blacksmith weld them into a
big ring, and fasten the ring tightly
to the end of the crosspieces, says
the Delineator. Set a three-year-oh
grapevine right against the post,
coax it to rapid growth, and the
thing is done.
When the vine ends lap over the
rim and let them hang down all
around it. Seats may be set under
meath.
