Preserving Eggs for Winter Use

Eggs preserved in a water'glass
solution will keep almost perfectly for
several months. They will poach
nearly as yell as fresh eggs although
the taste is trife more fiat after long
storage. These are the conclusions Of
the Missouri Collge Of Agriculture
after a careful investigation Of various
methods o! storing eggs for winter use.
Waier-glass is purchased in liquid
form. Druggists commonly retail it at
twenty-five cents a quart, and one
quart is enough TO preserve twenty
dozens Of eggs. For this number
a fve-gallon stone or earthenware
crock is the most satisfactory receipt
acle. Heat ten quarts of water to the
boiling point and allow it to cool.
Then pour the water into the crock,
add one quart Of water glass and mix
the two. The solution is then ready
for the eggs. Place the in the water
glass solution each day as soon as
they are laid. Use only naturally
clean, not washed, fresh eggs. When
the crock is filed 10 within two inche:
Of the top Of the solution, cover and
store in cool dry place until winter
By this method eggs may be stored
during spring and summer when they
are relatively cheap and production i
high, for use during winter wher
prices are high, and production is low.
Farmer and townsman alike may save
many dollars By this method Of cheaT
storage Of eggs. 1t is Of the creates
importance that the eggs used shonlc
be absolutely fresh. Water glass vii

Using the Orchard

When a man stakes off a certain
number Of acres and sets these acres
out in fruit trees there is no real rea-
son why he should not cultivate The
ground as long and as much as he can.
You would think some one had sworn
never to stick a ploR in an orchud
plot, the way they handle it.
Trees will do better when they are
cultivated. What, then, is an easier
method oil cultivation than to plant
some crop among the trees that must
be cultivated ploTcd and n0ed, weeded
and lertilzed2 There may be localities
where a good, smooth sod is better
for fruit trees than TO cultivate them,
but in most instances there will be a
better growth where the soil is stirred.
There is one big and compelling
reason why the soil in orchards should
be stirred, While they will not grow
in badly drained ground, neither will
they do any good where the soil is
dry. Uns,ired soil dries rapidly, and
there is a consequent loss to the trees.
Stir the soil and the moisture is held
through the early part Of the summer
through until the dry weather, when
every drop Of the stored water is
needed by the trees.
Weeds and grasses are heavy users
Of water. That smooth, green carpet
in an orchard looks pretty, but it is
not the best thing in every instance.
Weeds are even worse, as these rank
growing soil robbers will use up heavy
amounts Of stored soil water when
they get we'll along in their growth.
Stirred soil gives the rains better
chance to penetrate to the tree roots.

FireWOOd CONSUMPTION in Missouri

There are 3,635, 900 cords Of wood,
valued at $9,45l,O 900 consumed on
the farms Of Missouri annually, ac-
cording to a report which has just
been issued by the United States

The Camp in the Woods.

With midsummer there comes the
call Of the wild and a longing for the
open country and a camp in the cool
wood. There one can be free from re-
strictions and Conventionalities. Twen
ty,fve miles from home, on river
where there was good fishing, a location
for our camp was found. Ai.er ow
plans were made known several
families joined Us, so there were i9
persons and considerable dufle when
trip time came.
There we're two wagons we'll loaded
when we started on our way TO lose
the world" It was near midnight
when the journey began and the moon
shone brightly As we passed
through the woods strange sounds
could be heard if the party became
silent, So filed with anticipation
was everyone that not even the
children became sleepy and many
farm family was awakened that
night by the strains Of We're tenting
To-nigh, on the Old Camp Ground"
At 6 O'Clock next morning we reached
our camp and the tents were pitched
right on the river bank. The camp
site was entirely surrounded BY wood:
excep, on the river front. A narrow,
winding path that it would be difficult
for even a good woodsman to find, was
our only means Of communication witt
the outside world except by boat. Here
indeed was the world we'll lost"
Three canoes were rented from The
fishermen along the river and we also
bought ice, fresh eggs and milk IRON
them. Bass and trout were plentiful
and there were long, lazy days of fish
ing, swimming and lounging inter
spersed with more active ones Of horse
back riding, climbing and exploring
But the nights were the best Of all
At the close Of each day we went ou
and collected piles Of dry wood, AM
such wonderful fires as We had at night
The flames leaped up into the tre
tops, lighting the sky and refectin
themselves in the dark water. The
they died doGn, leaving everylhin
sombre and hushed and still. In i'm
agination phantom shapes could b
seen creeping out from the dark fores'
the children snuggled closer and on
experienced delicious awe impossibl
to describe.
Some nights the phonograph va

Selection and Breeding Will Tell

The fourth generation Of chickens
haiched since the poG!;ty 1%ocriTcat
station was established at Mountain
Grove are now on the farm. T. E,
Quisenbeny, director Of the station,
says that the FIRST year pen of Buff
Leghorn pullets was trapnested and
their years record showed that they
averaged between 90 and 100 eggs
each. The best layers ttom the original
pen of ten were selected for the next
years breeding. These were mated
to cockerel hatched from the best
laying hen. The station has kept and
bred from the best layers and best
cockerels since that time. The result
is that last year pen Of ten pullets
was developed which averaged nearly
200 eggs each and one laid 2l7 eggs.
This year a pullet has been produced
which began to lay when 4 months and
S days old, and she was the first to lay
out OF upwards Of 5000 chickens reared
on the farm this season. The station
has kept practically within the same
line OF breeding and by careful breed
ing and by careful selection and mating
has nearly doubled the egg Weld in
three years time.
Another thing that is pointed out by
Mr.. Quisenbery is that it does not
mean that you have to entirely disre-
gard shape and color to breed good
laying strain Of any variety. One Of
the contestants in the egg laying con
test is Buff Laghorn breeder from
Michigan, who entered his birds in a
good poultry show two weeks before
the contest began last year, Mr..
Quisenbeuy now finds that some Of the
Michigan mans highest scoring pullets
and some Of those which won the high
est hcnors in the show room, are also
those which have made the highest
records in the contest by laying the
greatest number Of eggs. His pen is
fine in color and shape as well as lead
ing in the Buff Leghorn class when it
comes to the egg basket.
One thing is certain-it is not neces,
sary TO breed a flock Of mongrels TO get
good layers. Missouri k1Talis:.

Farm Facts

ers' Educational 4 Cc-nperatiy" Union
Of America
Those who till the soil are the chos-
en- people Of God.
Farming is as old as the human race
and is yet in its infancy.
Success is bound to come 10 the
farmer who plans while he plows.
No civilization has ever advanced
beyond its agricultural development.
No farmer is successful who thinks
more Of his barn than he does Of his
home.
The development Of the farmer
himself must precede the full develop
ment Of the ground he iills,
The most beautiful fact in the farm
er's work is that everything he plants
is a lesson in faith.
The best farmer does not bother
about getting ahead Of his neighbOr;
his great business is to get ahead Of
himself.
We must give to the people who
on the farm the same educational ad
vantages for their children as those Of
the cities enjoy.
The country clergy is an agency OF
much potentially because the rural
life movement is religious as we'll as
industrial and social.
There should be social and an in
dustrial survey Of every community.
The pastor, the teacher and the school
and church officials are they who
shnuld make such a survey.
In recent survey OF community
in New England, the average annual
income Of 154 farmers who has a
common school education was $229,
while the average net income Of l22
isrmers OF the same locality with a
high school education was S482 an
nually. This was worth TO each far
mer who possessed it S253 each year,

Been speculating on the outcome
Of the war? Don't do it. No one
knows what is happening inside Of the
lines, and a number Of surprises may
yet be sprung. War correspondents
abroad are being herded and guarded
like sheep and are allowed to send
only such news as the official censor
approves, and that is often far from
the truth. At the present time we
are not getting any unbiased reports.
