Bed Time aleS
Star Messengers
By Clara Ingram Judson

~ nee upon time, all the fairies
ON earth had meeting in a
great big forest.
From forest and meadow, brook
and waterfall they came, each
dressed in his very best. There
were fairies in white and fairies in
silver, fairies in rcd and pink and rose,
and so many fairies in blue and green
and yellow and lavender, that they
never, never could all be counted!
When they assembled in the heart
of the great dark forest, the fairy
queen of them all climbed up on a
great white flower. And though she
herself was not very big, no bigger
in fact than any other fairy, so high
was her flower throne that she could
see over all the multitude of fairies.
For minute she looked at them,
chattering 2a;ly before her. Then
she remembered that they were
there for making plans-not for
talking and visiting.
So she waved her wand and i'm
mediately silence, like a cool breeze
from. still mountain top, settled
over the crowd of fairies
They looked eagerly at her. for
though every fairy knew in the cor
ner OF his heart, exactly what they
were tnere TO talk ABOUT, NOBODY
knew quite how TO begin.
But beginning things never wor-
ried the fairy queen. she simply
skipped the beginning and started
in middle, a very good Plan il was
too.
Another wave OF her wand and she
said, Fairies az: we have come
here in order &c plan some way 70
bring the Stars to carth!"

4 fairy would ever have thought of

No sooner had the queen spoken
than the fairies all began to talk at
once.
The stars are so shining and
beautiful said one.
I'VE want them on earth TO play
with" cried another.
Let's bring them down tonight"

KEEPING EGGS.

An egg is never more satisfactory
either to producer or consumer than
when fresh-laid and the supplying OF
such in clean. attractive condition to
customers who will pay promptly and
well for them should be encouraged
1t sometimes happens, however,, thai
the poultryman or housekeeper dc
sires to hold the surplus eggs for a
few months. They may thus be with
drawn from competing at a sacrifice
when egg are in low price and be
used to advantage in the fall and whit
er to supplement the supply when
eggs are scarce and high priced.
We urge the freshest eggs for the
household, but it has been proven
that good, clean. fresh eggs may be
readily and economically preserved
for a considerable period of time
when such a course is advantageous.
Preserved eggs, If ever offered for
sale should not be represented as
fresh stock. We will mention a few
simple and inexpensive methods of
preserving eggs.
In the old fashioned Timing pro-
cess one pound of quick lime and
one-half pound of table salt are thoro-
ly mixed with four quarts of boil
ing water. After shaking and settling,
the clear solution is drawn off for
use. Fresh clean eggs are placed IN
a stone or glass jar or water tight
keg and the solution of lime and
salt poured over them until all the
eggs are fully surrounded and COW
cred by the liquid. The jars should
have close fitting lids to exclude the
air and should be kept in cool
place.
The plan which is most highly rec
commended, after numerous tests and
experiments and much practical ex-
perience, is that which employs liquid
glass (silicate of soda) as the pre-
serving medium. The water glass is
obtainable at drug stores and costs
40 to so cents a gallon.
In practice one pint OF water glass
is usually diluted to a 10 percent So
luton by adding nine pints of boiled
water. Very thorough experiments con-
Quoted at the Rhode Island agricul-
tural experiment station proved that
the strength of the liquid could be
safely reduced to three percent (three
parts water glass to 81 parts wa
teri
Fresh, clean eggs are placed in a
jar or other receptacle and the wa
ter glass solution is poured over them
until they are completely submerg-
ed. The liquid should stand at least
one or two inches above the top Jay
er of eggs and if necessary an invert-
ed plate may be placed in the liquid
over the eggs to hold them down in
place fully beneath the surface of the
liquid. Cover the jar tightly and set
in cool place where it will not be
disturbed
nj a series of special tests of this |
method the eggs kept well even for
a period of 10 months with only a
slight defect in the flavor. For a per-
od of six to eight months fresh laid
eggs and clean to begin with should
keep we'll
Fresh, infertile eggs, even after

has been incubated even for a few
hours, soon decomposes under ordin-
Try conditions. Therefore it is a wise
