OF PRESERVING EGGS
Most Effective Way of Keeping Them
Is to immense Them in Solution
of Sodium SiIicate.

...f
BY r. NJ WEST. Minnesota Experiment
Station) :. : - -
The primary principle to be OBJ
served in the preservation of eggs
is the protection of the interior from
contact with the air. The most effec-
tive way of doing this is to immense
them in a water solution OF sodium
silicate, usually known as water
glass" Sodium silicate can be OBJ
tanned at any druggist at from As to
so cents per gallon. One gallon
should be sufficient for about SO dozen
eggs.
Mix one part of the sodium silicate
with from ten to twelve parts OF wa
ter. Some water glass is so thick
that. with this dilution. the eggs Will
float. In such case, add enough
more water to make them settle TO the
bottom of the liquid. M
Use only clear water from which
the air has been removed by boiling
Be sure that it is cold before mix
ing it with the water glass.
Pack the eggs in jar or clean
wooden keg, and add the preserving
solution in sufficient quantity to cover
! the eggs No part of the shell should
| be exposed to the air.
The packed eggs should be kept
cool A cellar is the best place fol-
storing them. Pack only strictly fresh
eggs. Stale eggs will not keep fol
any length of time under any condi
tons, and they may affect the fresh
! eggs which are packed with them.

them. Washing removes from the

nature provides for their temporary
preservation.
Eggs preserved in this way retain
their original fresh flavor perfectly

PRESERVE FRUIT FOR sHoW5
Desirable That Specimens for Exhi
hition Should Retain Natural
Coors and Not Decay.

In preserving fruit specimens for
exhibition it is desirable that they
should retain the natural colors and
not decay. A good preparation is
made of So parts pure cistern water
and parts formaldehyde or as it Is
known commercially as 40 per cent
solution of formaline which may be
obtained, of most any druggist.
For grapes 2 parts formaldehyde
will be sufficient. Mason fruit jars
can be used where the regular exhibit
ton Jars are not to be obtained.
The fruit should be well ripened
and colored but not ripe enough to be
soft.
Very acid fruits will not be pre-
served in color so well as other varie-
ties, but this condition may be fairly
overcome by adding to each gallon a
tablespoonful of ordinary bicarbonate
of soda.

GOOD ROADS EXTEND TRADE
There Is No Better or Quicker Way
for Town to Draw Farmers Than
by Even Highways.
(By HOWARD Fl. GROss.l

ADy I1OVN ALL II. NTINNfoO.k--
Take two good towns upon any line
of railway, say ten miles apart, and
the division of trade between the
two towns will be approximately mid
way between the two Other thlngsl
being equal, the people will go to the
nearest place to trade. Let one OF
these cities build { good road out say
three or four miles in the direction OIL
the other town, and it at once be-!
comes the nearer place, because OF the
better road The distance Is meas
ured by the time 1t takes rather than
the actual number of miles. II one on
these towns has a good road the peo'
pie will go there although the dis
lance Is one or two miles greater.
There is no more effective way OF
extending the trade area of any town
or city than by making the approach
to 1t over good roads If by building
these city is enabled to draw trade
seven miles instead of five, 1t near
ly doubles the area, hence it is of the
highest Importance to business men
that the. roads should be kept in the
best possible condition.
The farmers are not the only ones
benefited and they ought not to do all
the paying. The proper conception is
to build roads upon the state aid
plan so that all the people and all the
property are taxed for road improve
ment. This makes the burden light
and is the plan that gets the roads
and distributes the burden where II
ought to be placed.
