To Keep Eggs From Bursting

Eggs when boiling frequently burst This is caused by their being too full of air, and may be prevented by pricking one end with needle before putting them into the water. This makes an out let for the air.

The fact that both Pensacola and
Mobile are waking up to their advan-
tages and are looking up ways and
means of furnishing better roads and
transportation facilities to this district
is a good sign, as up to this time they
have practically overlooked this fast
growing farming country which is al
most at their doors. But they must
do more than simply look to means of
getting the products of this county to
their markets, they must if they wish
to succeed, seek outlets so that they
can handle those products not only
with profit to themselves but to the
producers also. In fact, they must
awaken to the fact that they are no
longer country towns, and become real
cities and real distributing points.
They must cut out telling the farmer
that they can pay nothing for his pro-
duct because their local market is
glutted in that line They must seek
new fields. new openings where these
crops can be disposed of and continue
buying regardless of local conditions,
