Between now and the time that the

Certain becterla which spoil eggs

Therefore. seal up the pores OF fresh

Water.glass is the best thing TO DEM

like brine, which is often used for the

penetrate the pores Of the shell and

some people have experienced with
this method generally are due to the
fact that the eggs we're not strictly
fresh when put in the preservatiVe.
There have also been brands OF water

SOME GOOD METHODS OF PRESERVING EGGS

farmers are likely to sell them water
glass eggs for fresh eggs they say,
a practice which, Of course. must be
condemned. Also, the farmers do not
use sufficient care in handling eggs
for preservation In water-glass. Many
eggs that might have been saved for
consumption, II they had followed the
regular channels Of the trade, are
therefore lost.
Other, less practical methods Of
preserving eggs are infiltration Of the
shell with paraffne, borated Vaseline,
painting with linseed oil, etc.
With all these methods, the eggs
must be clean and newly laid. Old
eggs frequently contain bacteria that
are able to grow without air. due to
infection after they are laid. These
bacteria win dec0mpose Eggs pre-

necessary because this spray kills by
contact only, and any living scales
not thus covered will serve to pro-
pagate the species.
Where only two or three trees are
concerned, they could be coated with
lime.sulphur by means Of white
wash brush. When from 25 to 100
are to be sprayed, barrel sprayer
should be used, or when several hun
dren trees are concerned, gasoline
sprayer should be employed. Com
mercial lime-sulphur, testing 80 de-
grees, Beaume, has merely to be
mixed with water at the rate Of one
part Of the lime-sulphur solution to
eight or 8 parts of water and Is ready
to apply. This has proved very salts
factory spray for scale in all parts OF
the United States and has proved
emlnently satisfactory in our work
against the scale in Kansas. Lime
sulphur has the further advantage OF
destroying injurious fungi that may
be wintering on the bark Of the trees.
In actual spraying operations where
treatments are made at cost, on
small paintings, we have had TO
charge from ten to fifteen cents each
10 cover cost OF labor and materials.
Very satisfactory lime.sulphur can
be made at home, but the process re-
quires time Suspend q 25 or 30
gallon iron kettle over fire, as II
preparing TO make soap. DO not use
a copper kettle, because the lime
sulphur will corrode it. Lay the fire
beneath the kettle. Place about three
gallons of water in the kettle, put 10
TO 20 pounds of good stone lime into
it, and slack it, adding water as re-
quired. When the lime has broken
down, forming n pasty mass, and is
still heating vigorously, sift 10 pounds
of finely ground sulphur into the ket-
tie, stirring the shaking lime steadily.
Continue to heat and stir the mass,
gradually adding water until the ket'
tie is well filled. Boil the lime
sulphur from forty-five minutes to an
hour or until the liquid takes on
dark red color. Wherever the liquor
can be seen at this time, It should be
of a deep cherry red color. The APP
pearance Of this color shows that the
maximum strength Of the mixture has
been reached. 1t should then be
strained into a spray barrel, the
whole mixture raised to fifty gallons
by the addition of water, and should
be applied at once. This is q cheap
spray from the standpoint OF ma
terials and q very effective one from
the standpoint OF killing the scale.
Whether commercial or homemade
lime-sulphur is used, II is absolutely
essential that the work be so thor
oughly done that all parts Of the In
tested plants will be completely
coated with the mixture. One good
spraying of this type every year
should keep the scale under control.

Puzzle of Living.

Religionists chided about their ina
bility to agree on points Of faith might
point out that they differ only in incl
dentals and not essentials. whereas
the scientists differ on everything.
Take the science of living. A week
ago you would have died If you drank
water with your meals" Now they
say it doesn't do any harm at all. One
variety says: Eat meat, lots Of 1t, to
build good, rich blood" Another says
meat is poison; that vegetables are
the only food. A third declares meat
and vegetables both increase debility,
and that you will live twice as long
on raw fruits and nuts. Some say
Talk with your meals. laugh; 1t
makes the food digest" Others insist
silence is never so golden as at the
table.
