TWO FILTER BEDS
To Be Prepared at Once on the WhaI-
 en Farm.

It is announced that it has been de- cided to make immediate use of the available filter beds on the Whalen farm recently purchased by the bor- ough of Danielson, and that instead of placing the sewer terminal in the riv- CT or of making temporary provision for the sewer discharge on the sur face of the Altering ground, filter beds are to be prepared for permanent use.
 These beds, two in number, are. to be made by blowing over the area to be included and then using a scraper to remove the dirt to the depth of a little more than foot The dirt taken out is to be used about the four sides of the beds to form a small embank- ment. This system of building filter beds is in use in Birmingham and Natick. Mass, and has been found in- expensive and satisfactory. In the cities mentioned, the surface of the filter beds has been planted for sew eral years with corn and the yield has been very heavy and has furnished considerable income. This year the corn grown on the filter beds by the town of Birmingham sold standing for more than $500.

PRESERVING EGGS.
(By James b. Kerr, in Mississippi
Union Advocated

There are many farmers and villag
ers who have a surplus of eggs dur
ing the spring and summer months.
If the price in the market for this
surplus is not satisfactory the eggs
can be preserved for winter use at a
cost of one to two cents per Dozen
There are several different ways of
preserving eggs, but the best preser-
walton is water-glass Sodium Sill
cate). The preparation consists of
one gallon of water glass to ten or fiji
teen gallons of water which will make
about the amount necessary to pre-
serve fifteen dozen eggs.
The water should first be boiled and
cooled and then the water-glass add
ed. Put this in stone jars or very
clean kegs, or any vessel that will
not impart any bad flavor to the
