also unusually strong and of a very
drying character. The rainfall for
months is indicated by the first set of
of figures below, and departure from
the normal is shown by the second of
each pair of numbers:
Rainfall for January, 1l.4S inches,
excess AGA inches; for February, 4.4S
inches, deficiency 1.47 inches; for
March, 912 inches, deficiency Isl
inches; for April, 4.37 inches, excess
1852 inches; for May 1.50 inches, de-
fieiency O.66 inches; for June, 2.15
inches, excess O36 inches; for July, 90
inches, deficiency OPS inches; for Aug
ust, 90 inches; deficiency O,42 inches.
The average temperature for each
month together with the departure from
the normal is shown in the following
table:
January, temperature, 44.6 degrees
excess $50 degrees; fer February, 42a
degrees, excess O.6 degrees; for March
49.9 degrees. excess "A degrees; for
April 52.5 degrees, excess IA degrees;
for May, SIS degrees, excess 2.5 de-
grees; for June, SIS degrees, def
cheney 90 degrees; for July, 66.7 de-
grees. excess Ia degrees.
1t is thus seen that the moisture de-
ficiency even for the months of July
and August is but very slight. Incl
dentally, the report shows the need of
irrigation since the normal rainfall OF
July is but little more than a quarter
of an inch, and for August less than a
half inch. "But irrigation has been
more profitable this year than in the
average year." says Professor Powers.

EGG RECORD STANDS.

efRT THIS MOMENT a million
~ hens are in training to beat
that record" said an eastern
poultry journal few months ago in
speaking of the record of 90S eggs in
year made by the o. A. C. hen C52l.
From reports of the two laying compe-
titions at the Missouri and COnnecti-
cut stations, it now looks as though
the record may not be beaten this
year. On August first no hen had made
record equaling the Oregon hen and
it hardly seems possible now that any
of them can overtake her.

With or Without Eggs

Your Corner has helped me so much l take the liberty of asking little help: How to make coffee with eggs and not have them cook or curdle? How to make a cake without eggs? How to make a salad dressing without eggs.
 "R. T. E."
 Your question with regard to making coffee with eggs was sent in to me in last weeks mail from yourself or another correspondent I replied that the beaten egg should be mixed gradually with the hot liquid by adding tablespoonful of the latter at a time and stirring it in thoroughly before putting in more. I as sume that you refer to cafe au lait." In which case the hot milk is mixed with the beaten egg before the coffee goes in. l have never seen this done, but it is flea asable. If. however, your reference is to clearing coffee with egg I may say water and the beaten white of an egg stirred In before the coffee Is set to boil. You say you are a regular reader of my department. You must therefore see that We have talked much of late of eggless cakes and published several recipes for making the same. In each case baking powder or baking soda, combined with cream of tartar, sour milk, or other acids, is used to raise the batter instead of eggs. In making salad dressing without eggs one has only to fall back upon the familiarly known French dressing '' preferred by many to the heavier com pound. Mix in the bowl of tablespoon a teaspoon of salt with half as much pep per and pour in vinegar to fill the spoon i; stir all together; turn into a bowl and work in three tablespoons of oil gradually, beating all to an emul- sion. Some add a few drops of onion juice and use lemon juice instead of vinegar. This dressing is always used by French cooks for simple lettuce salad, celery and tomato salads. Mayonnaise is considered too heavy for light vege- tables and fruit salads.

Asked Her Age

Upon making three afternoon calls of late the hostess in each case asked me 1 my age in the presence of another. l look 10 years younger than I am and as | nature has favored mo l prefer not to tell my age. My mother taught me that i, the question was impertinent. Maybe she is old fashioned and l am oversensitive Would you tell me what reply 1 should make to people who ask that question without appearing mysterious, untruth- ful or impolite? I am anxious to hear from you. as I expect to marry a man d few years younger than myself. l shall meet more people who will ask my age, and the embarrassment will be doubled.
 "P R."
 The question is an arrant impertinence as anybody who makes any pretensions to good manners should know. It may have been eXcusable in the days of the Pha- raoh, who put the question point blank to the patriarch Jacob, but that was thou- sands of years ago. The next time any one asks your age reply smilingly that anything you might say on the subject would be ruled out of court as 'hearsay evidence" you having no recollection of your birth and the few months succeed ing it. Decline to repeat what you have learned at second hand. This is a wiser course than to betray annoyance at the rudeness.
