Save Egg Losses During Hot
Weather
By H. L. Kempster.

Statistics show that during the
summer months from one-fourth to
over one-half the eggs produced in
Missouri are a total or partial
loss.
Heat is directly or indirectly re-
sponsible for a loss to Missouri
farmers of two and one-half million
dollars worth of eggs annually.
Heat causes germ growth, embryo
and mould development. increases
evaporation and causes eggs to be-
come bad in a very short time.
April eggs are high in quality be-
cause of the lower temperature
which prevails at that time.
According to studies made at the
Missouri College of Agriculture,
nearly all of the loss in eggs due to
heat can be avoided by the ordi-
nary conveniences that the average
farm provides. If farmers would
take the same care of eggs that
they do of butter before and during
the time it is taken to market,
there would be practically no loss
from heat Any temperature above
70 degrees is too warm. Even I'M
der the best of conditions eggs
should be taken to market at least
once each week. \
Eggs should be collected daily
and should be cooled as quickly as
possible. A sweet, fresh basement
which is cool or a cyclone cellar
makes a satisfactory place to store
eggs. They may also be kept COO
by placing them in a bucket lower.
ed into a well. Avoid storing them
in musty easements and keep their
away from flies.
If these directions are followed
and eggs are carefully protected
from heat while being taken tt
market, the value of Missouri's egt
crop may be increased two anC
one-half million dollars during thu
next four months.

He Followed the Lady.

A native or Ireland started away
on his first trip. Never having
been in a railroad station he did
not know how to get his ticket, but
he saw a lady going in and deter
mined to follow her lead.
The lady went to the ticket box
and putting down her money said:
"Marshill, single"
Next in line was Pat, who
promptly planked down his money
and said:

CLASH OF NATIONS IS

Ministers Generally Support the
President, Although Deplor-

War with Mexico was the subject OF
dozen sermons in Washington
churches yesterday, and while the min

there was a very general disposition to
support the President, SO far as he
has gone, and to demand proper rep

the disregard OF American life and
property.

The Rev. Robert Talbot, of ST. Paul's
