SAYS NEY WAS a GERMAN
English Writer Makes Interesting As
sertIon About Most Prominent
French Marshal.

A recent English book about Mar.
shall Ney, Napoleon's historic lieuten.
ant, "the bravest Of the brave" brings
out some interesting facts.
This Frenchman was really Ger
man. He was born at Saariouis, now
in Prussia, and then and always Ger
man. He spoke only German as a
child. He was red-haired, with wide
face, and round blue eyes. Five feet
eight inches in height, he had short
body and long legs. His comrades
called him "le rougeot," which was
equivalent to Carrots" or "brick top"
He was forty-six years old at Water
loo. So was Napoleon. So was Well
ington.
Michel Ney was a man who was
trained up to the hardships of work.
mans life. His father was a cooper,
and in his boyhood work in his IA
theirs business he was accustomed to
toll and exposure. This enabled. him
to sleep placidly in the snow on the
return from Moscow, wrapped in his
cloak, with the starved, ragged sol
diers of the grand army keeping
guard, and the .Cossacks prowling
around in the darkness"

Different Ways of Preserving Eggs

eggs may be preserved for several
months by different methods" says
Prof. James Dryden, of the poultry
department of the Oregon Agricul-
tural college. "If put up right in the
spring they may be kept till the fol-
lowing fall or winter. They will not
be as good, however, as fresh-laid
eggs.
"a method that will preserve the
original quality of the eggs for an in
definite period has not yet been dis
covered. By cold storage eggs are
put up in large quantities during the
spring season when prices are low, but
where it is desired to preserve small
quantity for home use the cold storage
method is not practicable.
Eggs intended for storage should
be fresh and clean. March or April
eggs will keep better than May or
June eggs. The sooner they are put
into storage after being laid the bet
ter they will keep.
The Lime Method.
Dissolve pound of lime in five gal
Ions of water. The water should be
boiled previously to sterilize it, and
then cooled. Stir thoroughly, and let
settle. Then pour off the clear liquid
into a wooden or earthen jar or tub.
Fill with eggs to within an inch of the
top of the liquid. This will allow
for evaporation. The liquid should
not be allowed to get lower than the
top of the eggs. When the vessel is
filled with eggs, cover it with coarse
muslin or factory, over which spread a
paste of lime to exclude the air.
The Water-Glass Method.
"Water-glass (sodium silicate) may
be purchased at the drug stores. Use
the liquid form and the commercial
grade in the proportions of one part
water-glass to eight parts water. Use
earthern jars or wooden tubs or bar
rels that are perfectly clean, and store
in a clean, cool place. The material
used will cost about a cent for each
dozen eggs stored"

Growing Big Tomato Crops.

Strong, stalky, transplanted tomato
plants are essential in order that the
fruit may set and begin ripening dur
ing July and August when the days
are longest and weather warm. Clay
soil is best for heavy crops. Clover
sod plowed under and the field re-
plowed before planting makes a good
field for tomatoes. Use from 10 to Is
loads of stable manure per acre, har-
rowed in, and supplemented with from
400 to 600 pounds of fertilizer applied
in the row.

duced 200 bushels, or SO tons, of toma-

What Does 1t Cost to Raise Kale?
At the request of Prof. F. L. Kent,
of the dairy department of the Oregon
Agricultural college, prominent Ben
ton County farmer prepared the fol-
lowing statement of the cost of pro-
ducing kale.
"We figured 20 cents an hour for a
man and one horse to cultivate" he
says. eve took what we considered
an average row of kale and cut and
weighed it for our average yield to
the plant. We have kept time on
several occasions while gathering to
feed. On this we base our cost ton
for gathering.
II think you will find our estimate
very moderate on the weight of
plants, for we deducted two pounds
from each plant for fear we might not
have made fair estimate in choosing
the plants for the weighing. The es-
innate does not include rental value of
land nor value of the manure before
application"
The @2300 plants, averaging in
weight 16 lbs., made $4,000 lbs., or
1871 tons. They were grown on a half
acre of black clay loan. For fertiliz-
alton it took two men and one team 16
hours, equal to $40; for blowing, a
man and team hours, 81; for har-
rowing and cross-harrowing 2 hours,
80 cents; clod mashing 2 hours, 80
cents; re-plowing 2 hours, 81; har-
rowing and cross-harrowing again 2
hours, 80 cents; twice again disking
and cross-disking, hours, $1.6O;
clod-mashing again 2 hours, 80 cents.
The plants cost 81, and transplant
ing 20 hours, 81. Cultivation four
times, each time taking 2 hours, was
10 hours, costing So. Hoeing twice,
10 hours each time, made 20 hours, or
81. Pulling the weeds once took a
hours, costing 80 cents, and harvest
ing took SO hours, costing 1920.
This made a total of $37.70 for the
cost of raising the 1871 tons, or 1924
as total cost to the ton.
