MANNER OF PRESERVING EGGS
Solution Of Salt, Air-SIaked Lime and
Water viii Be Found Satisfac-
tory and Profitable.
(By MRS. J. G. BARCLAY.)

(By MRS. ]. C. BARCLAY
One cup Of coarse salt, one cup OF
air slaked lime, five quarts of water.
Mix thoroughly and let stand "a
hours, pouring off the liquid into a
clean jar. Into this drop fresh eggs,
which in country communities at GER
tain seasons Of the year car be bought
in any quantity as low rs 1914 to Is
cents a dozen.
These are not packed~eggs nor cold
storage eggs. They can be used at
once, and will be good for months If
kept covered by the liquid. l have
used eggs that had been SO preserved
over a year. They are good for any
purpose-to fry, poach, in baking or
custards, though violent boiling in the
shell sometimes causes the shell to
crack. When cooked with gentle heat
at back of stove the shell does not
crack.
When eggs on che market are soar
ing in price a good return can be real
lied on this investment.

TROUBLES OF YOUNG CHICKS
Nothing Better for Bowel Complaint
Than Freshly Burned Charcoal
Fed in Any Quantity.

Very often bowel troubles develop
among young chicks, from no appar-
ent cause, and of such serious nature
as to threaten the success of the early
hatch. While this trouble develops
both with hens and breeders, it is
more prevalent in the latter. Once
this bowel trouble develops it spreads
very rapidly.
Doctoring chickens of any age is a
hard proposition. With young chicks
it is practically impossible to do
anything for them with any of the rec
ognized remedies used by poultry
men. For bowel trouble in little chicks
there is nothing better than freshly
burned charcoal. 1t is pulverized
daily, rolled into a dust and mixed
with the rations given the chicks. 1t
is a corrective rather than a medicine.
It's value is we'll known in treating
stomach and digestive disorders in the
human body. Its effect is even more
pronounced when used on chickens.
Charcoal is an absorbent, having
the power to take up the foul gases
in the digestive tract. The fresher it
is the more valuable. 1t can be fed
any quantity, as the birds will not eat
too much of it. The only trouble
about leaving it in the open is that
after being exposed to the air very
long it loses it's effectiveness to a
great extent. When fed to very small
chicks the quantity had best at first
be limited until the effect is seen and
then the amount can be regulated by
the condition of the patients.
Another good thing for little chicks
Is to put some tincture of iron in the
drinking water. This acts more as a
general tonic than anything. Another
drug that has about the same effect Is
potassium permanganate. Put enough
in the drinking water to color it violet.

post that 1t was nailed to. Almost any
tough wood limb will answer, but that
of the Eastwood, poplar, chestnut or
any variety that splits easily, should
be avoided.
In selecting the limbs, see that the
prong does not set up at too great a
degree, nor should it stand too
straight out from the main limb. In
the first instance, there is not the
room sufficient and the weight of a set
of harness will be likely to split off the
hook, on the other hand where the
hook stands out too straight it will
eventually give down, especially where
the weight comes on it neal the outer
end.
