KEEPING EGGS.

Science seems to be making an act
I've inroad on prejudice and ignorance
and even the man who has been
Sighting book farming is willing to
confess that great strides have been
made along certain lines that have
been beneficial to his own interests.
The latest we have had up to the
present in the preservation Of eggs
and the prolonging of their edible
qualities has been by the water glass
system, which is quite generally
known. Now comes scientist who
claims method that will even up
the egg business at wonderful rate.
The shells by the new process arc
first disinfected and then Immersed
in vessel of parafin wax in a vacu-
UNI. The air in the shell is extracted
by the vacuum, and atmospheric
pressure is then allowed to enter the
vessel, when the hot wax is forced
into the pores" of the shell, which
thus hermitically seals it. Evapora-
ton Of the contents Of the egg, which
has harmful effect, is thereby pre-
vented and the egg is practically ster-

DON'T USE DOGS.

Dogs should not be used when the
ewes get heavy in lamb, nor should
they be permitted to enter the lamb

the barking of dog or any undue

LOCUST PLAGUE IN SYRIA.

Methods Of Government Commission
to Prevent Recurrence This Year.
Consul Jesse B. Jackson, writing
from Aleppo, describes the Turkish
plans for preventing a recurrence thls
year Of the scourge Of locusts IN
nothern Syria:
During the months Of June and
July; 1908, this province was visited
by great swarms OF bcasts, permsat-
ing every locality to such an extau.
that the crops then standing, as well
as the vegetables in their early state.
were entirely destroyed. AS this is
purely an agricultural country, the
hardship caused thereby to the pea
santry amounted to almost calanl-
ity. In partially irrigated districts
the second crop was planted, the
product OF which was sold to local
inhabitants at exorbitant prices.
1t appears that the locust lays an
enormous quantity OF eggs soon after
a long flight depositing them in a
protecting sack in hole 1t makes in
the ground. These eggs hatch out
in the following spring, and uE9ess
the climate is exceedingly cold during
the winter season the increase
therefrom Ii enormous. q
Accordingly, considerable activity
has recently been manifest in official
circles in this vicinity toward pre-
venting recurrence of the depforable
devastation OF last year. With this
idea In view commission was lately
appointed by the government, and
designated az the locust commits
sion," empowered TO exercise such
means as appeared most effective to-
ward exterminating the insects. The
commission therefore requires, that
every rural inhabitant collect and de-
liver to the government at least 20
okes (oke equals az pounds), equal
to about IS pounds OF locust eggs,
under penalty Of fine. This has re-
suited in the gathering Of various
quantities from the different locali-
ties, as follows: Kills 1886 okes:
imperial domains, 1885 okes; Alep-
po, 1925 Ckes; Rakka, 1870 okes;
Biredjik, $3.50 okes; Ourfa, 2,542
okes; Bah, 61,S51 okes; total, 299, O4S
okes, equal to e29,s pounds.
In addition, the surface of certain
territories was plowed over as fol-
lows, viz; Munboutch, 5,525 doonums
(doonum equals one-fourth. acre):
Maara, 5,275 doonums; Idlib, 1880
doonums; Aleppo, 274 doonums; Inn
perial domains, 1000 doonums, total,
1854 doonums. equivalent to 4,03Sk
acres.
+ 1t is assumed by those in authority
that these measures, while not likely
to entirely prevent the temperance
of the iocusts during the coming
spring and summer months, will tend
greatly to reduce them in numbers,
at least sufficiently so to enable a
more successful combat and destruc-
ton OF them through the use of chem
icals and by other processes. Daily

The BUFFALO.
A Good Surveyor and One Of Our Fret
Roadmakers.

A Good Surveyor and One Of Our Fret
Roadmakers.
The buffalo was good surveyor. 1t
I'D not reason out why 1t should go In
a certain direction, but its sure instinct
took 1t by the easiest and most direct
paths over high lands and low. to the
salt ticks and water courses which
were Its goal. The authors Of 1.-The
Story Of the Great Lakes" Edward
Charming and Nj. + Lansing, say that
the buffalo observed something like
the principles which today govern the
civil engineer.
AS soon as the explorer landed on
the southern shores Of Lakes Erie,
Michigan and Superior he came upon
buffalo roads or traces Sometimes
these were narrow bitches, foot wide
and from six inches to two feet deep
trodden down by the impact of thou
sands OF hoofs as herd after herd or
buffaloes had stamped along in single
file behind their leaders.
When the first path became too
deep for comfort because OF repeated
travel the buffaloes would abandon 1t
and begin second path alongside the
first, and thus the frequented traces
would be gradually widened.
Again, an immense herd of these
heavy animals would crash through
the forest. breaking In their rapid
progress a broad. deep road from one
feeding ground to another, AS this
route would be followed again and
again by this and other herds. 1t would
become level and hard as a rock. so
that there was great rejoicing In pio-
neer settlements when the weary road
makers, struggling with log causeways
and swampy hollows. came upon
firm. solid buffalo trace. Nor was this
an uncommon experience.
The line of many of these roads Is
followed today by our railroads anu
canals. as 1t was followed by our log
roads and turnpikes.
The buffalo followed the level of the
valley. He swerved round high points
whenever It was possible. crossing the
ridges and watersheds at the best nat
ural divides and gorges. and he crossed
from one side OF a stream OF water to
the other repeatedly In order to avoid
climbing up from the level, after the
fashion Of our modern loop railways.
