For the benefit of some readers who
may not have remembered directions
previously given for preserving eggs
In water glass solution we will repeat
the recipe. The receptacle for the pre-
serving Of the eggs, preferably a stone
jar, should be scalded with boiling wa
ter. The preservative solution is made
by adding one quart Of water glass to
fifteen quarts Of water. Fresh and
clean but unwashed eggs should be
packed in the jar and this solution
poured over them, enough to cover. 1t
is best where possible to put down eggs
each day as they are laid, adding
enough of the solution to completely
cover them. Eggs put up in the above
manner may be kept eight months and
still be good for all home uses. The
cost of treating the eggs in this way.
outside of the price of the jar, is about
a cent dozen, depending upon the cost
of the water glass.

One Of the chief advantages in know
keep his presence of mind when
thrown unexpectedly into the water.
The knowledge that one can swim re-
moves almost entirely the fear of
drowning and enables one to make the
moves necessary to help himself or his
companions. The small boy and girl,
too, when it is possible, should be al
lowed to "go down to SWIM and go
NEAR the water too.

The question Of cutting the lawn
grass should be determined largely by
the amount of rainfall. When moisture
is abundant it may be cut as often as
twice a week. In the months of July
and August, especially if droughty
weather prevails, it should go longer
than this without cutting, so that the
roots may not be too sorely taxed.

If the old strawberry bed has served
it's mission and is too foul and weedy
to pay to renovate it may be moved
off, plowed up and a good crop of tur-
nips or bagas raised if August and Sep
TENDER are not too dry months. In
any event, this treatment will kill a
big batch of weeds and terminate and
destroy great amount of lately ma
tured weed seed, the doing of which
will Justify the trouble one is put to-.
whether any turnips are raised or not

A plan that is recommended for
keeping down the late growth of
weeds in the potato patch after the
vines have reached maturity is to SOW
buckwheat about the middle of July.
This will come on as the vines ripen
and occupy the ground. If the amount
sown will not pay to harvest, it can be
allowed to stay on the field and plowed
under after the crop is dug.

String beans may be put down in
salt the same as corn, and this in a
very easy and simple manner. Prepare
as for cooking and boil until nearly
done, about an hour; then take one
quart Of coarse salt and mix thorough
~ with four quarts Of the prepared
beans. Pack down in stone jars and
cover with cloth, plate and weight. In
getting them ready for the table next
winter rinse the loose salt off and put
to soak in boiling water at night
Change the water couple Of times the
next morning. Cook until done, pre-
pairing as if fresh from the garden.
Beans preserved in this way retain
their beany flavor remarkably we'll.

The latest millinery creation, the

An interstate pure seed law is now
contemplated and will likely be passed
at the next session of congress. 1t will
provide that all seeds offered for in.
definite guarantee as to purity and that
no seeds mixed or containing adulter-
ants shall cross state lines. AS things
stand just now residents of many
states are given quite adequate pro-
lection by laws Of their own state
touching pure seeds offered for sale To-
cally, but have no assurance of a
square deal in those shipped in from
other states. The new law should be
welcomed by all honest men.

The boy who develops a lazy, tired
streak at fourteen is quite likely to be
termed shiftless and improvident when
he becomes a man. 1t is trait that
should by all means be discouraged, for
the tendencies which develop during
these early years have way Of per-
sisting and staying with the boy

After the strawberry bed is well
started it requires no more care. than
does a properly attended potato patch.
This should consist of frequent cult
vatings with cultivator or hoe and q
keeping of the bed free from weeds.
During an especially dry spell a dust
mulch should be kept at the surface of
the ground to keep the roots of the
plants from baking and drying out.

1t will be interesting to note whether
the passage of Governor Hughes anti
race track gambling bill will result in
serious loss of interest on the part Of
New York state breeders of thorough
bred running and trotting horses. With
out doubt the effect of the law will be
considerable with those who have
raised or owned thoroughbred horse
flesh simply for the sake of the excite
ment which the gambling afforded,
while those who prize good horse on
his merits will not be seriously put out
by the change.
1t is often the case with the horse
along in years that his being in poor
condition is the result Of his teeth be-
ing out of whack. Perhaps the teeth
need filing down so as to make possible
proper mastication of the food. Take
such an. animal to a competent veteri-
marian and have him examined. If the
trouble Is with the teeth it can easily
be remedied.

For the sake Of the good housewife
there should be kitchen cabinet, wa

just as much comfort and convenience
when she is at work as the company
are when they are at ease.

GROWING GLOVER FOR SEED.

Considering the fact that the grow
ing of clover enriches the soil and the
further fact Of the extremely high
price at which clover seed has sold
during the past few years, it would
seem like paying proposition to take
up the growing Of clover for seed.
Quite often, it Is true, the seed does
not seem to mature properly, but this
may be due in part to the effort which
is usually made to get a crop of hay
and crop Of seed from the same piece
Of land the same season. Where the
season Is long enough this can be done
without trouble, but often insufficient
time Is left after the crop of hay is
removed to mature crop of seed.
Were the seed made the primary con-
srderation and the crop Of hay removed
somewhat earlier than is the case
when the quality Of the hay is the
prime object the field would get nicely
headed out and stand a better chance
of maturing Its seed without danger
from damage by unreasonable weather
in the fall.

The crop report issued by the special
lists of the agricultural department In
charge Of this work show that, while
the area devoted to oats is per cent
less than the area sown last year, OF
$4,000 acres, the condition Of the 81
$4,000 acres sown is represented by
92.9 per cent of normal crop as com.
pared with 81.6 on June 1, 1907.

If the calves are afflicted with scours
simple and easy cure may be effect
ed by putting into their ration of milk
ut the rate of one teaspoonful to each
pint or pound a solution made by add
ing half an ounce Of formalin to fif.
teen and one-half ounces Of water.
Experiments which have been conduct
ed with this formalin treatment show
that it effects a ready cure and is not
Injurious to the calves.

MANY ME AIS ARt RARER THAN GOLD Radium Is Most Expensive ot
 All Metals GALLiUM S68,600 A POUND Numerous Other Metals Are So Rare As To Command Much Greater
 Value Than God-How
 They Are Procured.
GALLiUM S68,6O0 A POUND

To the average human being gold Is the rarest of metals. The savings of the av- craze man in the United States in whole year would not suffice to buy a pound of it. The yellow metal is so valuable that worth its weight In gold' has become the expression of the acme of value. Yet gold is as dross compared with some of the other metals that exist. Some of them are indeed as many times more valuable than gold as gold is more valuable than ordinary iron. Some of them are so valu- able that 19 men out of every 20 in the world could not save enough money in a lifetime to buy a pound. There are at least 26 of the metals which are more valuable than the basic metal of our cur rency system.
 Of course, about the most valuable sub stance known Is radum. Searching for a needle in haystack is but the task of a few minutes as compared with the work of finding a pound of radium. It Is esti- mated that it takes 2272 tons of uranium residue to make one pound Of the light giving substance. and that 1t costs 5000 to gather the radium out of a single ton of uranium.

REPORT OF FINANclER.
Gain Of s4,ooo,ooo Is Shown In Cash
 of New York Banks.

New York. March 2S.-The Financier will say:
 There was a wide discrepancy in the report of averages of the New York
 clearing house banks for the week end ing March 2S and actual business of the institutions at the close of business
 Saturday. the summary of averages
 indicating a gain of over s4000, 900 in
 cash and very moderate expansion,
 whereas the actual conditions of banks
 at the close of the week showed an expansion of s15,354 900 in loans and an increase of s16,S9S, 800 in deposits, and instead of a gain of several mil lion dollars in cash an actual loss of S5S0 300 in this item. The loss in cash is traceable practically to the govern ment deposits. which were decreased $4,000 900 during the week by the re- turn Of public funds to the treasury
 and also 10 the incident of the opening of the knickerbocker Trust company.
 The interest increase in loans was due to some new action in speculation, al
 though the whole statement was af- fected in a measure by the resumption
 of operations by the Kniekerbocler company. The statement of state banks and trust companies in Greater New ' YorlzeEfot reporting to the New York clearing house showed an expansion of s37. .642 .000 in loans and s39, ,546,400 | in net deposits, these changes being | due, of course, to the inclusion of the report of the re-opened trust company ! The increase in speculation and legal tenders by the state banks and trust
 companies. however, showed a gain of
 only $3,748. TOO. The actual reserve 1 held by the New York clearing house

ginning of the 18th century About that time there was an awakening in the chemical world that led to hundreds of important discoveries in chemistry. Some of these discoveries were almost as remarkable as those made in the as- tronomical world. Long before the eye of man had ever seen them, an as- astronomer figured out that the planetoids existed. Another student of the heavens forecasted the appearance of the great plant Neptune before mortal man had known that such a plant was whirlins through space That astronomer saw that there was some cause for the agitation of the planet Uranus, and it's deviation from it's usual orbit. Taking the known laws of his science he figured out the presence of another planet, and forecast ed when and where 1t would become visible. His forecast worked out to the dot, and stands today as one of tks greatest achievements of the astronomical world.
 Likewise, when the chemist was experi- mentng with the strange, elusive, and wonderful metals then known. hs found a gap between two of them. He con- cluded that somewhere in the universe there was another metal that would fill that gap. Acting on that conclusion he proceeded to hunt for it, and success at last crowned his efforts showing that after all men may make themselves pret- ty familiar with the laws of nature
