PRESERVE THE
SPRING LAID EGG
Hen Product Of This Time of Year
Best.

Recent Investigations show that
eggs laid in May and early June keep
better than those laid at any other
time of the year, and for that reason
eggs laid at this particular time of the
year should be preserved.
1t has been found that water glass
when properly made seals the eggs
and prevents further infection when
kept at a comparatively low tempera-
ture. Water glass can usually be OBJ
tanned through druggists at from 81
to s1.25 a gallon, a gallon of the water
glass being made into ten gallons of
preventative by simply dissolving it in
nine gallons of water which has been
boiled and cooled before use. The pre-
served egg should be kept in a cellar
or room of even temperature. which
does not go above 60 degrees.
It has been discovered that eggs
may be infected with bacteria of de.
cay in the oviduct before the egg is
laid, and through pores and defects
in the shell after the egg is laid.

L. NJ. ALLEN,

Much can be done to reduce the
chances of infection and to reduce or
prevent the injurious effects of in.
lection, thereby greatly improving the
keeping quality of the eggs.
In the first place the hens should be
kept in as nearly perfect health as
possible and should be given enough
shell forming food to enable them to
make strong shells of uniform thick.

sary to prevent infection in the nest.

ly upon them. Only clean eggs should
be used for preservation, and these
should be place. in the preservative
within twenty-four hous after they are
laid.
If care is taken to select clean,
sound eggs, and proper precautions
are observed in carrying out the de.
tails of the method of preservation as
above indicated, it is believed that wa.
ter glass furnishes a cheap, reliable
and easily employed preservative for
domestic use, and by its use everyone
having a supply of fresh eggs in the
spring can make a considerable saving
and at the same time have a larger
number OF fresh eggs to use in winter.

this is not certain. The muskmelon
has never been found in a wild state,
and is supposed to have originated in
India and to have been brought thence
by way Of Persia. Melons from seed
brought from Armenia were cultivated
three centuries ago at Cantaluppi,
near Rome, and thence were intro
duced all over Europe under the
name of cantaloupes, whence our pres

YACHTS WILL SWELL REVENUE
NEARLY 100000 WILL BE ADDED

Wealthy Americans who Own Foreign
HuIlt Vessels Must Settle With
Unole Sam September I.

Washington, Aug. 21.-It is estt
mated that nearly 100000 will be
added to the revenue Of the govern
ment September next when the tarif
on foreign built yachts is collected BY
the customs division Of the treasury
department. An annual tax of 81 ton
is assessed by the Payne law on all
pleasure craft built abroad and char
tered or owned by Americans for a
period Of six months or more. As an
alternative, the owners Of such yachts
may pay an advalorem duty Of IS per
cent, for which they will be entitled to
all Of the privileges Of American entry
for their yachts
The treasury department is prepar-
ing regulations for the collection OF
the new duty which Is to be paid an
nually on the first Of September. The
advalorem duty, which may be col
lected in lieu Of the annual tonnage
tax, is to be based upon the value of
the yacht at the time the duty is col
lected.
According to the figures supplied to
the customs ofEices there are between
70, and so foreign built yachts now
owned by Americans. The aggregate
tonnage is In the neighborhood OF 49,
900 tons, which would yield a revenue
from the tonnage tax Of a sum In ex-
cess Of 100000. More than 40 OF
these vessels claim New York as their
home port. Customs, officials believe
that a great many owners Of fareign
built pleasure boats win pay the ad-
valorem duty In preference to the tom
mage tax, as in the course Of q NUNS
Der Of years an annual tonnage tax OF
81 for each ton would exceed the duty
based upon the value Of the craft after
an allowance had been made for de
probation.

que trophies Of the hunt gathered By
ex.Prssident Roosevelt in Africa and
now about to DO unpacked in this city
This building Of granite with hooI
space Of approximately nine and one
half acres and costing $S,500,000 has
been erected by congress for the Ma
tional Museum and h being put In
order for the proper exhibition of var
ious objects that have been collected
chief among which are the Roosevelt
trophies,
While NO definite arrangement has
been made 1t Is likely that rooms on
the first floor will be the future home
Of the Roosevelt specimens. Consid.
erable time will be required to prepare
these skins which are packed in brine
In metal casks.
As soon as the 50 pelts gathered by
Mr.. Roosevelt are taken from the
casks. they will be tanned as the best
process for their preservation, "for all
time" The officials Of the Smith
sonian Institution are now discussing
the question Of having this work done,
either by some tannery outside of this
city or under its own Immediate super
vision in the museum quarters here.
The splendid show case to be pro
vided in the new museum building will
give ample opportunity for an arrange
ment in effective style Of even the
largest animals. The greatest care
will be taken to make this exhibition
one of the most unique and attractive
that is possessed by any government.
1t will require a considerable time
to mount the specimens suitable for
exhibition and every precaution will
be taken to select the very best to be
retained near the museum It has not
been generally understood that an i'm
portant value is attached to duplicate
specimens for exchange purposes. The
law permits the Smithsonian to make
exchanges for species 1t may not
possess. 1t Is expected that every
museum In the world will be anxious
to obtain at least one Of the Roosevelt
trophies. BY means Of these ex'
changes the National Museum will be
able to come into possession of many
