GOOD METHODS OF
PRESERVING EGGS
Solution Recommended Is One
Part Water Glass to Ten
Parts of Pure Water.
CBy r. G. wEATHERsToNE.)

There are several good methods Of
preserving eggs but the water glass
method is best. Water glass can usual
ly be purchased at a local drug store
for less than 81 a gallon, making the
cost about one cent for each dozen
eggs.
The receptacle used should be an
earthenware jar OF from five TO ten
gallons. The eggs should be placed in
the jar each day, when gathered, as
the fresher the egg the better it will
keep. Care should be exercised to see
that none of the eggs is cracked, or
the whole jar of eggs may be spoiled
in a short time.
The jar should be placed in q cool
cellar, a piece of oiled paper OF some
other waterproof cover should be
placed over to prevent evaporation.
II this is not done, any eggs that ap-
pear above the liquid will spoil rap
idly. The eggs should be kept at
least two inches below the surface
OF the liquid.
The solution recommended is one
part OF water glass to ten parts Of
pure water.

USE OF SPRAY FOR
PROTECTING STOCK
Flies Are Very Troublesome to
Farm Animals, Especially
Nervous Dairy Stock.

At this season flies are very trou-
blesome and are a source of much
bother among stock especially the
nervous dairy cattle. A preventive in
the form of q spray should be used.
There are a number of methods some
times recommended for this purpose.
some OF which are supposed to keep
flies off the animal by virtue of their
bad odors or greasy nature. and some
which are supposed to be sprayed on
to kill the flies. Considerable doubt
exists as to the benefits to be obtained
from using any of these treatments, or
as to the relative value of the different
ways OF combating flies.
For spraying the backs of cattle at
milking time. there is possibly moth
ing more reliable than kerosene emul-
sion. The following recipe given by
the United States department OF agri-
culture is one Of the best ways of max
ing this: Dissolve one-half pound hard
soap in one gallon of hot water, and
while still at near boiling point, add
two gallons of kerosene. ana emulsify
by use of force pump or agitator or
some kind Dilute with water. one part
emulsion to eight parts water. and use
as a spray. dip or wash.

R0UGHAGE IS NOT
RELISHED BY HOGS
Doubtful Whether Animals Will
Consume More Than Grain
and the Softer Parts.

The digestive apparatus of the hog
does not permit 1t to consume large
quantities of roughage, and corn ST.
lage does not as a rule prove a very
satisfactory feed. However, some of
our readers have fed silage to hogs
and have reported good success. but
1t is doubtful whether the hogs will
consume more than the grain and the
softer parts when being properly fed.
Silage in some cases proves de-
sirable addition the winter ration and
will give good results when fed with
care to brood sows. Legume silage Ia
to be preferred to corn silage for this
purpose.
Moldy or spoiled silage is not good
for any animal and hogs are no ex-
ception to this rule. II they are being
fed suficiency of other feed there
would probably be but little danger In
allowing them to pick over the spoiled
silage.

(By y. Z. MILLER.l
There are three essentials for
health, thrift, and gain to be con-
sidered in the management of hogs, in
order to obtain the best results; these
are clean food, pure water, and dry,
comfortable sleeping places.
The food of the pig should be as
clean as for any other farm animal
that is, 1t should not be mixed or
contaminated with any substance that
contains no food value. Dirt and filth
food, impair digestion and reduce the
gain; they also affect the appetite and
general health of the pig. Then, too,
considerable part of the food con-
sumed is required to develop energy
to separate and expel the indigestible
matter.
1t is law of nature that the excre-
ment of all animals is poisonous to
themselves, and while pigs may profit
ably follow cattle, 1t is of vital i'm
portance that their food be not con-
taminated with their own excrement.
This means that pigs should never be
fed on the ground in yard or pen
where their own excrement abounds.
Feeding on the meadows or pastures,
moving about from place to place is
a good way in summer. In the winter,
of course, feeding from the cribs is
necessary, and to insure cleanliness
at that time, there should be feeding
floor which should be cleaned after
every feed.
Over 40 per cent of fat pig is
water and reduction of water supply
below the natural requirements. will
reduce the gain just as surely as a
reduction of food will. Well or spring
water is better than water from ponds
or streams. Standing, or stagnant wa
ter about the barns or lots should
not be tolerated. Pigs should have

clean. pure water always at hand, day
and night; they drink but little at
time, yet often. and If 1t is not always
accessible, they will not get as much
as is required for normal development.
Anything that can be done to in
crease the comfort of the pigs will, as
a matter of course, add to the gain and
profit in feeding.
Good care of pigs means good breed.
ness. more labor, closer attention to
little details, and finally, more dollars
in the pocketbook.
Feed the old and young sows sep
arately, as the old ones may hurt the
younger ones, and they will get more
than they should. The mature sows
are more desirable, but it is always
necessary to grow few gifts to re-
place some of the older ones.
Breeders should prize above all 9th.
ers those big, growthy, long-bodied,
rather loosely made young sows, nc
matter If they have big ears and rath-
er coarse heads.
Avoid being a market-chaser, and
sell when the hogs are ready to go;
that is, when they have reached
condition when it is no longer profit
able to feed them, except for specula-
tive purposes.
1t does not require great ability in
figures to show that there is a great
deal of waste in selling hogs when
they are only half fed out.
1t seldom pays to feed corn to pigs
after they are ready to be marketed.
Corn is 1T as perishable as fat hogs.
1t can be kept until the market ad-
vances.
AS general proposition the pig of
200 to $50 pounds is what every grow
err should aim at, and it is the pig
that pays both killer and feeder bet.

SOME DAIRY COWS
ARE HARD TO MILK
One Remedy Recommended Is
to Oil Teat Freely to Soften
Skin, Then Use Force.
By r. NJ. wAsHBURNJ

Some cows are naturally hard to
milk: others are made hard by weak
handed milking. A WOMAN or child
with hands not strong enough for
milking ca4ses a COW to become hard
for anyone to milk.
To cure such COW. oil the teat
freely before starting to milk. so that
the oil will work into and soften the
skin. Then milk the COW with as
much force as possible, squeezing
hard. This treatment will usually
cure an ordinary hard mixer.
Once In a great while it is neces-
sary to cut the muscle surrounding
the inside of the teat with lance
like knife This, however is very
likely to ruin the COW II not done with
great care to avoid cutting too much
and causing permanent leakage.
1t also makes sore which Is pain
full to the COW at the time or milk
ing. and II done when the COW is not
giving milk. the wound grows together
and the muscle becomes tighter than
before.

MOB BROKEN UP
FOiled When Negro Prisoners
Are Spirited Away.
Blacks Also Arm Selves and
Threaten to Shoot Whites.

Muskogee, Okla, Dec. 27.-With
the safe removal from the local Jail
of two negroes arrested in connection
with the murder of a policeman, Mus
kogee returned 20 normal life today
and there was nothing on the surfa ce
to show that the jail had been be-
Sieged for five hours last night by a
mob of white men threatening to
lynch the negroes, while across the
street 200 armed negroes announced
they were ready to open fire on the
whites the mirute they obtained GUS
toGy of the prisoners.
Two ASA ults on the Jail by the
white men were repulsed by militia
men with fixed bayonets, although at
one time the attackers succeeded in
battering down the Jail door with a
railroad rail. Before a third assault
was attempted, the two negroes ha q
been dressed in militia uniforms, COW
cred by military overcoatS with high
collars upturned, and rushed from the
jail in a taXicab before the watchers
outside realized that the automobile
had not brought another prominent
citizen to eXhOrt the mob to dispense,
as a dozen more did during the eve
ming.
With the negroes safely removed
the leaders of the mob were allowed
to search the jail, then all dispersed.
This eased the racial tension, which
at one time threatened a pitched bat
tie, the white men declaring they
would charge the negroes unless they
disarmed and vert home. In prepar-
alton for trouble, a local hardware
dealer opened his store and supplied
all available firearms to citizens who
wished means of protecting them
selves.

and Mathis Foreman, are believed to
