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. eff 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.
IA 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 gall
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 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 Waterfalls 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 clean, cool place. The material
used will cost about a cent for each
dozen eggs stored"

COMFORT OF DUMB BRuTEs
Work and Driving Horses Should Be
HumaneIy Treated

The humane and thoughtful man will
simply regard the task as a pleasure,
the watering of his work horses and
mules at frequent intervals. The usual
custom es ws.eT;ng horses only three
times day would not last one day Il
the driver was also compelled to sub.
NIT to such treatment.
The suffering of hunger Is a real 10y
when compared to the suffering OF
thirst and the poor, patient and toll ng
horse is as sensitive to this form OF
torture as is the man who drives him.
From seven o'clock in the MORNING.
until noon is far too long to drive i
team without water. Bring a barre
cart to the field and give the horses 8
drink at frequent intervals, or unhitet
from the pillow, mower or binder anC
3rive them TO the tank. The horses SO
treated will not over-drink at the moor
or evening quitting time and your owr
conscience viii be light as that Of

The horse was given TO you for use
not for abuse and God cannot hold guilt
less he who wantonly infiicts needless
punishment on any of His creatures.

MEMORIAL TABLET ARRIVE
The Fine Bronze Piece is Placed in
viroqua Public Library.
IN MEMORIAM
U. S. S. MAINE
Destroyed in Havana Harbor
February 18th, 1898
This Tablets Cast from Metal Re-
covered from the U.S.S. Maine

Since last issue of the CENSOR May
or Smith has received from the Secre-
tary of the Navy at Washington, the
brcnze tablet made from materials tax
en- from the raised battleship Maine,
sunk in Havana harbor in 1898
Through influence of Congressman Esch
this historic piece was secured, ana for
which he receives thanks of all our
people. 1t has been hung in conspic-
uous place in the city public library,
and it should be inspected by town and
country people. The tablet is 13x1s
inches in size. bearing in relief the coat
of arms of the United STAGES, .Patri-
otism' besides the inscription given
above.
First thought was to have some form
al acceptance and placing of the tablet
with Congressman Esch present, but
uncertainty of his presence determined
other course.
Viroqua is indeed fortunate in being
awarded this memorial Their number
is limited, and it has been the aim of
those in authority to place them in cit
les where companies of Spanish war
soldiers were recruited in 1898.

Mutual Rights and Courtesy Should
Govern

With the advent of the autoing sea-
son there arises the regular yearly
question of the rights of the road In
order to get correct idea of what such
rights are, it is necessary for both
teamsters and auto drivers to come to
the first principal fact which is that
from the standpoint of both, each has
his legitimate rights on the public high
way. The rules are exactly the same.
In the first place each must keep to the
right of the highway, except in the in
stance where one is passing the other
from behlnd,ln which instance the one
passing must go to the left of the road
and the one ahead must go the right,
giving the passing vehicle his half OF
the highway. Teamsters must remem-
Der that there is a provision for fine
for them If they refuse to do this and
their pretense to not hear the horn of
an auto will be ne defense provided the
occupants of the auto will swear that
the horn was sounded and its noise was
sufficient to have been heard under
reasonable circumstances. The once
smart practice of some teamsters to
keep right in the middle of the road
and pretend to not hear an auto horn
wont 60 any more. Furthermore the
law provides that when one vehicle
comes up behind another and gives an
alarm, that alarm is interpreted to
mean that the driver of the said vehicle
is DESTROYS of going faster than he is
going and that unless the one ahead is
able to keep out of the way while he
wants to go faster, the one ahead must
make way so that the one coming be-
hind may pass and go on it's way at
the rate it desires to go. The rear
driver is not compelled to do more than
sound the alarm in order to designate
his desire of passing and the one ahead
cannot successfully plead that he didn't
know that the other fellow wanted to
pass. There are rules which the auto
driver must observe as well as the
teamster. The new law provides that
when an auto is meeting another We
hicle, either team or auto, he must
slack down to a speed not exceeding
eight miles an hour before he passes
and he must also reduce his speed to
that rate when passing public school
house, church or other place where the
public is assembled.
Common decency and manly courtesy
should govern in every instance. We
hicle drivers and automobile operators
should make it as easy as possible for
each other on the highways, thus avoid
ing accidents and damage to persons,
animals and vehicles. Share the road
as circumstances best dictate is right
and few unpleasant encounters or hard
feelings will ensue. Keep sweet. Re-
member that the road hog is as greatly
to be detested as the porcupine who
throws his quilts or the skunk that
emits his stink.

THE FOURTH WAS VERY QUIET
People Scatter to Different Points
Picnics Popular

The Fourth of July was more like
Sunday in Viroqua than the big natal
day. Trains took many of our towns
men and surrounding country people to
Sparta, Cashton, Coon Valley and La
Crosse, while others went elsewhere in
autos and other conveyances
Fifty neighbors made merry at the
summer homes of W D. Dyson and c..
J. Smith at Mapledale, where a most
pleasant day was passed in that invit-
ing private resort In the evening an
extensive program of fireworks were
let loose.
At the Stoll and Spellum cottages
further down Bishop Branch big com
pany was entertained.
A large assemblage witnessed the
asylum fireworks, which were many

Quietly and like the falling to sleep
by babe in its mothers arms, the
venerable John ]. Willsey passed into
eternal rest, Saturday morning, aged
So years. 10 months and 20 days-our
eldest citizen and soldier of the Civil
rebellion. He had been a quiet, up
right resident of Viroqua for about a
quarter of century, coming here with
his family from Cashton vicinity. He
was respected by his neighbors and
manifested loving spirit in the home
life. Funeral was conducted from the
home Monday afternoon by Rev. |. II.

ing place in our silent city
Mr.. Willsey was born in Schoharie
county. New York, August Is, 1896,
the youngest of nine children; was mar.
ried June Is, 1850, to Eva Bouck. Sew
en- children were born to them, all liv-
ing except one. The family emigrated
westward with an OK team to Madison,
later to Monroe county. Mr.. Willsey
served Loyalty in the Union army for
two years, being present at the sur
render of Genelai lee.

The Richland Rutic says there is some
thing to give thought to If one cares 10
comprehend the magnitude of business
done at the condensing factory in that
city. During the month Of June $6l, SOC
was paid to farmers for milk; Sc, 500 as
wages to haulers, $1,000 to lis people
who work in the factory; seyenty-seuen
carloads Of material such as fuel. tin
cans and material were received. Sew
enty teams were daily used in hauling
IN milk from the farms besides one au-
to truck which hauls eighty cans and
makes two trips day. There are five
hundred patrons who send milk to the
condensing plant and the price averag-
ed $3.50 per hundred pounds through
the month. Some days the amount of
milk received was 1890 pounds
and averaged just close to $50, COO
pounds a day. That's a fine show
ing, yet we doubt if there is great
er real profit to farmers than is shown
by Viroqua's modest creamery, which
has close to 500 patrons today.
