DO YOUR HENS LAY IN WINTER
ROY H WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.


Station.
When eggs are high in price during
the winter, do your hens lay? If they
do, wouldn't you like to be able to sell
most of them? If they don't, wouldn't
you like to have eggs to use without
paying high price for them? You
can keep the eggs laid by your hens
In the spring, when eggs are cheap
until winter if you wish. OF course,
these eggs cannot be sold as fresh
egs, but you can use them yourself
for they are perfectly good for cook
ing purposes. Then you can sell the
fresh eggs at the advanced prices.
The best method of keeping eggs is
by cold-storage, but this is not avail
able to most poultry raisers. There is
q method, however, that can be used
by anyone-the waterglass method
The directions are as follows Make
up solution using one part, by meas
ure, of waterglass (sodium silicate)
and nine parts of ordinary water
which has been boiled and allowed to
cool An eartnenware Jar is usually
considered best to keep the solution
in. The eggs are put into the solution
In as fresh a condition as possible.
1t Is best, where possible, to put the
eggs in the day they are laid. 1t is
also better to have them clean so that
washing is unnecessary. They will
also keep longer If they are sterile;
Keep at least two inches of the fluid
above the eggs, cover the receptacle
to prevent evaporation and store in
cool place. Waterglass can be OBJ
tanned either as liquid or dry powder.
The powdered preservative was put on
the market the past year.

NO DEVELOPMENTS
IN ROAD BOND CASE

The bill of complaint filed by Isaac
A. Stewart praying for an injunction
against the sale of the Halifax road
district bonds is still lying in the
clerks office at DeLand but no notice
of the intention to apply for the writ
of injunction has been served on Lam
dis, Fish & Hull, attorneys for the
board of county commissioners. Be
fore the bond attorneys, Dillon,
Thompson & Clay, will finally pass on
the bond issue it must be certified
by the clerk of the circuit court that
no litigation affecting the bonds is
pending. The bill of complaint filed
by Stewart, of course, constitutes liti-
cation, but as long as the writ of
injunction has not been asked for,
the bill of complaint is meaningless
except to harrass and embarrass the
county commissioners in the sale of
the bonds.
Stewart sued out a writ of injunc-
ton in the matter of the DeLand road
district bonds and the case is now
before the supreme court awaiting a
decision.

the ST. Johns route and the natural
channel. He asserted that the chances
were 80 to l of getting through a canal
bill by asking the purchase of the
north end of the East Coast canal.
He stated another reason was from
naval defense, as the East Coast route
was only two miles from the ocean
and could be destroyed by an enemy
warship while the st Johns route was
% miles inland
1.-THE greater part of the commerce
is supplied from Titusville and south
Of there, the territory to the north be-
ing limited, said Mr.. Walker. He
brought out practically the same ar
gument as Mr.. Hamilton in the Mon
day night meeting, laying main stress
on the idea that if the people of the
southeast coast would support the ST
Johns ruote an Appropriation would go
through congress this session and Mi
ami would have a water route in three
years.
Mr.. alker also spoke of the growth
of the stock raising industry in the
territory between Sanford and Titus
vile, saying that few people knew OF
the tremendous strides taken in the
development of this section.

MIAMI FAVORS SAINT

INSTRUcTS DELEGATES WHO
ARE TO ATTEND JACKSON
VILE MEETING.

MIAMI, Dec. 10.-Pleading their
cause as the greatest good for the
greatest number of people," delega-
ton of Sanford men appeared before
mass meeting at the chamber of COM
merce last night in support of the st.
Johns river route for the inland water
way down through the state of Florida.
The outcome of the meeting was the
passing of a resolution asking the
Chamber of Commerce to instruct its
delegates to the Jacksonville confer
ence, Monday to support the ST. Johns
route and the adoption of a resolution
to the. board of engineers in charge
of the matter asking them to "desig
nate the most natural commercially.

canal
The Sanford delegation was COM
posed of c. r. Walker. E. T. Wood

ker, chairman of the Sanford water
ways committee. outlined the advant-
ages of the ST. Johns River route as
opposed to the East Coast route adj
vocated by H. /. Hamilton at the meet
ing Monday night.
Here is a company that entered
into a contract with the state of Flor
ida some years ago., said Mr.. Walker
in reference to the East Coast Canal
& Transportation monpany. Have
you a canal? Not one out of ten boats
that come through do so without drag
ging. It's a canal that has been paid
for by the state with no chance of ever
having it completed. Now there is a
proposition to ask the United States
to buy and deepen the canal. is 1t
fair? We, as txpayers, have paid for
something we have not received. Now
we are asked to do the same thig over

TIME IGNORED ADVICE

If a man whose integrity you do not very well know makes you great and extraordinary proffes- sions, do not give much credit to him. Probably you will lind that he aims at something besides kindness to you and that when he has served his turn, or been disappointed his regard for you will cool.
 Beware also of him who flatters you and com mends you to your faee who, he thinks, will tell you of it. probably he has either de- eeived and abused you, means to do so. Remember the fable of the fox commenting the singing of the crow, who had something in her mouth which the fox wanted.

FAILURES FOR oCToRER.

nificance attaches to the rise in the
commercial death rate during Octo-
Der. Total insolvencies. as reported
by r. G. Dun & Co., numbered 1899,
or 1S5 more than in the previous
month and the largest since July,
while several defaults of exceptional
size helped to swell the liabilities to
s25, 522, $50, as against S16,20S,010 in
September and an average of about
SO. 100000 for the four months prior
to that time. When comparison is
made with October, 1914, however,
the showing is favorable, not only
from a numerical standpoint, but also
in respect to the aggregate indebted
ness. Then 1855 concerns failed, ow-
ing s29,702,17S; in 1913 only 1,434
suspensions occurred and the amount
involved was s2O.245,466. though in
