medium and thus spoil the other eggs.
In placing eggs In the perservative be
careful not to crack the shells. Keep
them in a moderately cool room where
the temperature may be kept fairly
constant. A dry. clean cellar is a suit
able place.
OF the many methods which have
been tried for preserving eggs on a
small scale none have proved more
successful than the use OF waterglass
or sodium silicate. This is a very
cheap porduct that can usually be pro-
cured at not to exceed so cents per
gallon. and a gallon will make enough
solution to preserve fifty dozen eggs.
SO that the cost of material would not
exceed one cent dozen. Pure water
that has been boiled and then cooled
should be used. To each fifteen to
twenty quarts OF water one quart of
water-glass should be added. The 30
luton should be prepared. placed In
the jar or other suitable vessel and the
fresh eggs added from time to time
until the jar is filled, but be sure that
two inches OF the solution covers the
eggs. The eggs should not be washed
before packing. for washing Injuries the

the muscilaginous coating.
good Iimewater preservative may
be made as follows: Thirty gallons OF
water, ten ponds OF salt. one-half bush.
Of finely slaked lime. After mixing
thoroughly allow the solution to stand
two or three days and then remove the
clear liquid by dipping or by means Of
siphon. Place the liquid in a tub or

The Job Of Extrae.ina Honey.


Honey for extracting should not be
removed until it is well ripened and
a large percentage of 1t capped. 1t is
best, however, to remove the crop
from each honey flow before another
heavy producing plant comes into
bloom, SO that the different grades OF
honey may be kept separate. 1t is
better to extract while honey is still
coming In, SO that the bees will not
be apt to rob. The extracting should
be done in building. preferably one
provided with wire cloth at the win
dows. The frames containing honey
to be extracted are removed from the
hive. the cappings cut off with sharp,
warm knife made specially for this
purpose, and the frames are then put
tor. By revolving these rapidly the
honey Is thrown out of one side.
The basket is then reversed and
the honey from the other side is re-
moved The combs can then be re-
turned to the bees to be refilled, or
if the honey flow is over. they can be
returned to the bees to be cleaned and
then removed and stored until needed
again. This method is much to be
preferred to mashing the comb and
straining out the honey as was for
merly done. In large apiaries special
boxes to receive cappings. Gaping
meters to render the cappings di-
rectly into wax and power-driven eN-
tractors are often used. The extract
ed honey is then strained and run in
to vessels. 1t is advisable not TO put
II in boxes at once. but to let 1t settle
in open vessels for a time, SO that II
can be SKINNED.
Most honey will granulate and be-
come quite hard in this dry climate.
especially II exposed to changes of
temperature. and 10 liquify granulated
extracted honey II should be heated
in water bath Never heat honey
directly over stove or flame. as the
flavor is thereby injured. The honey
should never be heated higher than
100 degrees f. unless Il Is necessary
to sterilize IL because OF contamina-
tion by disease. Extracted honey is
put up in bottles or small tin cans for
the retail trade and in five gallon
square tin cans or barrels for the
wholesale trade. Great care must be
exercised II barrels are used. as honey
will absorb moisture from the wood
IL any Is present, and cause leakage
The tin package Is much to be pre-
ferred In most cases and this is the
kind we use in Colorado. In bottling
honey for retail trade. It will repay
the bee keeper or bother to go to con-
siderable expense and trouble to make
an attractive package. as the increas-
ed price received will be more than
ed to 160 degrees r. and kept there
for a time before bottling and the
bottle should be filled as full as pos
sible and sealed Theoretically. Some
honeys. such as alfalfa. granulate
quickly after being extracted. Such
honeys are sometimes allowed to gran
ulate In large cans and the semisolid
mass Is then cut into one pound
bricks like a butter print and wrapped
in paraffin paper. II may be put into
paraffined receptacles before granula-
tion II desired. There is always n

5O,00O,OOO Government Funds
To Move Big Crops Of this Year

Washington-Twent to fifty
million dollars of government funds
of the south and west at once by Sec
retary McAdoo to facilitate the move
ment of crops. Federal, state and
municipal bonds and prime CONNER
cial paper will be accepted as security
for the money, on which the banks will
pay per cent interest.
The motive of Secretary McAdoo in
establishing this policy is to antici-
pate the money stringency in the late
summer and fall, which always accom-
panies the marketin gand movement
of crops, especially when they are un-
usually large, as the harvest now be-
ginning forecasts. He intends to take
time by the forelock and prevent or
minimize the usual tightness of
money.
The secretary has made the signifi-
cant announcement that government
bonds would be accepted at par as Sc
curity for the new deposits and that
the additional money would be placed
only at banks which have taken out
at least 40 per cent of their author
lied circulation. The United States
for most of the national bank circula-
ton, have been depressed recently to
new low market records, dropping to
95 "a in the last few days.
The secretary's willingness to ac-
cept these bonds at par as security
for the s25, 100000 to s5O,00o,000 of
promised deposits, and the inducement
to the national banks to increase their
circulation up to the 40 per cent limit
is expected to help in restoring the
parity of the depressed twos by Great
ing a new market for them.
For the first time in history the gov
ernment will accept prime commercial
paper as security for deposits. This
privilege will be granted. announced
the secretary, in order to make these
special deposits available to the banks
on securities readily within their re
port.
The commercial paper submitted"
announced McAdoo, shall first be
passed upon and approved by the
clearing house committees of the cit
les in which the banks offering such
paper may be located. All commercial
paper and bonds must be passed upon
finally and accepted by the secretary
Approved commercial paper will be
accepted for security for the deposits
at 65 per cent OF its face value, and
the high class state. municipal and
other bonds, exclusive of government
bonds, at rs per cent Of their market
value.
The additional deposits will be
placed with the national banks In the
two or three principal cities in each of
the states where harvesting is now In
progress and where the demand for
money for moving the crops most con
yeniently can be met The secretary
said it would not be practicable to
scatter the deposits among the smaller
cities. especially in view of the char
acter OF security necessary.
The banks will be required to return
the money to the public treasury when
the crops have been moved. The pres
ent suggestion is, McAdoo said, that
Is per cent be repaid in December, &c
per cent in January. 30 per cent in
February and 25 per cent in March.
Steps now are being taken to carry
out the plan" said the secretary. SO

/ that the funds may be available
promptly for the movement of the
crops"
The names of the banks to receive
the deposits and other details of the
arrangement will be announced later.
The new policy is the antithesis of
that adopted by former Secretary of
the Treasury McVeagh, who a year ago
declined to make government deposits
to relieve the tight money market on
the ground that the moderate surplus
of federal funds at that time should
be held as a reserve, to be utilized at
some possible critical stage.
With the net balance in the general
fund today amounting to nearly S132,-
100000. Secretary McAdoo mas taken
the stand that the government should
anticipate the situation by placing de-
posits where and at the time they are
needed If the full s5O.000.000 is de-
posted, this step temporarily will
nearly double the governments de-
posits with the banks, which at the
present time hold s5s,0OO,0O0 of fed
eral funds.
Just as Secretary McAdoo was an
nouncing his plan. Secretary Tillman
of South Carolina was issuing state
ment declaring that unless congress
acted quickly to provide an emergency
currency the cotton planters OF the
south would lose 500. 100000 through
inability to get money to move their
crops.
Tillman has declared that unless
congress provided relief within sixty
days southern cotton planters would
"be robbed of a hundred million dol
ability of southern bankers to get
money from the New York pirates.
He urged that some kind OF resolu-
ton be put through Immediately to af-
ford temporary relief and that the
house banking and currency commit
tee "stopsquabbling" and allow perma-
nent currency legislation TO be en-
acted
Secretary McAdoo is well informed
as to the business conditions OF the
United States and am willing to
leave 1t to his good Judgment as TO
what collateral shall be required" said
the senator. Right now there Is an
emergency, and unless congress acts
promptly, within the next sixty days.

authorized the printing OF the $500
900 900 now lying in the treasury
grants no relief at all to our people
because OF the conditions imposed. Re
lief can be extended only through as

"If somthing is not done l see nc
