Eggs That Are Fresh After
Nine Months.
Clemson College, June Is
One of the ways in which the
poultryman can reduce the cost
OF living IS by canning" eggs
at this season of the year. Eggs
are plentiful in South Carolina
now and can be sold only at
prices which are low in compar-
ison with those of winter. For
this reason the farmer usually |
has more on hand than he can
dispose of readily. How eggs
can be kept fresh for months is
described by F. G.. Hare, State
poultry demonstration agent in
cooperation with Clemson Col
lege.
One of the best and simplest
methods of preserving or can
ming" eggs is to place them in a
solution of water glass" or sodi-
um silicate. This is a transpar-
ent liquid that looks like thin,
strained honey and is used COM,
mercially in manufacturing
mucilage. 1t can be secured
from druggist. This liquid
covers the shell of an egg with
an impervious coating of glue
and prevents bacteria-laden air
from penetrating inside the shell
and rendering the egg unfit for
food. Eggs treated with sodium
sllicate can easily be kept for
nine months in good condition,
provided they are perfectly fresh
when placed in this solution.
Secure suitable glazed earth
en- ware crock with cover-a
five gallon butter crock is a good
size-the glazing being to pre-
vent the solution from being alb
sorbed. Secure one quart or
more of sodium silicate or water
glass. Thoroughly rinse the in
{ side of the crock and then cover
, with boiling water to kill any
germ life that may be there,
water and allow 10 cool. When
cold, make a mixture of nine
parts of this water and one part
of the sodium silicate.
Fill the crock two-thirds full
with the preserving mixture
AS the eggs are gathered daily,
put them into the crock. Do
not keep eggs for several days
before putting into the solution,
as 1t is very important that the
eggs 60 in the day they are laid.
The eggs must on no account
be washed before being placed
in the crock and cracked eggs
or those with thin shells that
might be broken must be dis
carded.
Eggs may be put in the crock
until it is three-fourths full, bear
ing in mind, however, that at
least one inch of the liquid must
be above thd top layer of eggs.
Place the cover on the crock
and set in moderately cool place
to prevent excessive evaporation
of the liquid. Eggs should be
examined from time to time and
more boiled water added if nee
essary to keep the solution an
inch above the top layer of eggs.
For general culinary purposes
water-glass eggs are equal to Or
dinary fresh eggs. They may
be poached, fried, scrambled or
used in making cakes or biscuits
just as they come from the crock.
However, if it is desired to boil

When to Apply Soda

Progressive Farmer Ht
For several years l have urged
an earlier application cf nitrate
of soda to corn and cotton than
is customary. l have done this
because both theory" and OBJ
servation of practice has convin-
ced me that an earlier applica-
ton than is common gives the
best results.
If nitrogen is especially need
ed to build up the stalk, and a
good stalk is necessary to a good
crop, no further argument is
necessary in favor of the modef-
ately early application of nitrate
of soda to such crops as corn
and cotton. 1t is simply another
illustration of the fact that COR
rect theory is good practice, and
that they are one and the same
thing. In last weeks paper Pro.
fessor Duggar testified to the ad-
vantages of the early application
of the nitrate, based on a LARGE
experience and observation.

GERMAN THEORY
OF DIVINE RIGHT.

That the monarchistic theory of Dr.
vine Right is being preached in Ger
Macy by the clergy as we'll as his
Majesty is shown by the report OF a
sermon preached in DordHnund re-
Gently.
The German preacher took his text
from the second chapter of Deuter-
onomy. to show that in the present
struggle Germany is carrying out the
Divine command given to the Chil-
dren of Israel in their forty years
OF wandering under Moses. Inc
twenty-fourth verse says, Rise We
up. take your journey and pass over
the river Arnon; behold, l have given
into thine hand Sihon the Amorlte,
King IF Heshbon, and his land; be-
cir 20 possess it, and contend with
him in i:attle."
The chapter then recounts that mes
sengers of peace were sent to 81
hon, saying, lIeL NE pass 1"'0"S'
thy land; ! will go along by 'h2
highway, I will neither turn into tie
right hand nor to the left. Thou
shalt sell me meat for money. that |
may eat only l will pass through
on my feet"
1t is then recounted that Sihon re-
fused to dc this and battle en-
sued. The result OF the battle IS
told in the thirty-fourth and thirty
fifth verses: "And we took all his
4 cities at that time and utterly de-
J stroyed the men, and the women,
and the little ones, Of every city we
left none to remain:
"Only the cattle we took for prey
unto ourselves, and the spoil OF the
! cities which we took"
From this chapter Of the Bible, the
German preacher pronounced th'
German army as being justified II
its invasion of Belgium and devaSta
ting that country"

ON THE DRYNESS OF THE

The following clipping is published.
at the suggestion Of a subscriber
who takes the result of the "late I'M
pleasantness" philosophically, al
though he deplores the prospect of
seeing the mint beds of Virginia go
TO seed.
Lay the jest about the julep in the
camphor-balls at last,
For the miracle has happened, and
the olden days are past!
That which made Milwaukee FAM
Gus does not foam in Tennessee.
And the lid in old Missouri is as
tight-locked as can be:
And the comic-paper Colonel and
his cronies well may sigh,
For the mint is waving gaily, and
the South is going dry!
BY the still-side on the hillside in
Kentucky all is still,
Ard the only damp refreshment
must be dipt up from the rill.
Nawth Ca'lina's stately ruler gives
his soda-glass shove,
And discusses local option with the
So'th-Ca'lina guy.
1t is useless at the fountain to be
winkful of the eye,
For the cocktail glass is dusty, and
the South is going dry!
1t is "water, water, everywhere,
and not drop to drink"
We no longer hear the music of the
mellow crystal clink.
When the Colonel, and the Major,
and the Central and the ledge
Meet to have a little nip, to give
their appetites an edge;
For the egg-nog is nogless, and
the rye has gone awry,
And the punch-bowl holds carna-
ton, for the South is going dry!
All the nightcaps now have tassels
and are worn upon the head!
Not the nightcaps that were taken
when nobody went to bed;
And the breeze above the blue
grass is as solemn as is death,
Fer it bears no pungent clove-tang
en- its odrorific breath;
And each man can walk the chalk
line when the stars are in the
sky,
Fer the fzz-glass now is fzzless
and the South is going dry!
Lay the jest about the julcp meath
the chestnut tree at last,
For there's but one kind of moon
shine. and the older days are
past,
The wa*er-wagon rumbles through
the Southland on it's trip.
And it helps no one to drop off to
pick I'D the drivers whip;
For the mint-beds now are past
ures. and the corkscrew hangeth
high;
All is still along The still-side, and
the South is going dry!

to cause an upset under normal conditions.
