SWAT THE ROOSTER;
 SAVE THE HEN EGGS
Experiment Poultry Expert Suggests Practical Method of Preserving Eggs During Hot Months of Sum mer Season.

Eggs get very cheap in the summer season, and the producer is reluctant to dispose of his supply, knowing that the eggs are forced down in price at this time for storage. The producers should and can enjoy the profit of their eggs. The eggs are bought at low figure and placed in storage ano held for the raise of the market. The producer can do the same thing.
 Water glass is safe method for storing eggs. To Is gallons of water that has been boiled and allowed to cool, add one gallon of water, sodium silicate and stir thoroughly Pour this solution in receptical and keep i'll q is well ventilated is good.
 Place the eggs ill the solution as gathered. Do not allow the eggs to set around several days before plac, ing them in the solution. Fill the re cepttcles with eggs to within about two inches of the top, allowing for a good covering of the solution over the eggs.
 The males should be separated from the females when the eggs are placed in storage. Fertile eggs will not keep in good condition like sterile egss. Eggs that are sterile, gathered and packed promptly will keep in perfect condition for several months.
 Good recepticles are earthen jars, 50 pound lard cans or five gallon kero- sene cans with tops melted off Any farmer can use the method as describ- ed above with safety, but he must be very careful to pack a select article.
 Eggs to be packed should be can dled, unless known to be perfectly fresh and even then, candling is a good precaution.

PERTINENT QUESTIONS.

Asked by the Temperance Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church) Let us look these questions square, ly in the eye.
 Does the liquor traffic pay the United States?
 Does 1t pay financially?
 Does it pay commercially2
 Does it pay industrially?
 Does 1t pay physically?
 Does it pay mentally?
 Does it pay morally?
 What single good thing can be said for the trade in liquors or the habit of drinking alcohol?
 Nothing?
 Then why not kill the traffic with out further delay?
 If we cannot kill it let us hang our heads in bitter humiliation, for it is greater than we.
 If We can kill it, then in Gods name let us do it.

FOOD FOR TAXPAYER.

Census bureau statistics show that for the year 1913 the liquor revenue received by state, county and munich pal governments amounted to only $79,516,9S9, or a per capita of S2 cents. This includes all incorporated places of 2,5O0 people and over. This liquor revenue constituted only 4.3 per cent of the total state, county and munich pal revenues, $1,S45,9O1, ,12S. To put 1t simply, the states, counties and cities got a total revenue of $19 per capita and a liquor revenue of only s0S2.
 lnasmuch as the per capita drink bill of the American people is in ex- cess of s23, it is apparent that we spend about s1 for every three and one-half cents returned to the states, counties and cities by the liquor traf- fic.

CONSISTENCY.

The Great Northern railroad has an nounced it's intention of enforcing to- tai abstinence among its employees, Even to take glass of beer, if detect ed, means dismissal. Because of the protest of the liquor interests against the employees of the road taking any part in local prohibition campaigns, or in urging temperance measures, Su. perintendent McKennon has issued 8 bulletin stating this fact and forbid ding the men to take any part in sush movements. The employees are for bidden to drink, yet they are not per mitted to make any effort to have the temptation to drink removed from their home towns.

THE FULL DINNER PAIL.


 Everybody's Magazine, in its new department Keep Posted" narrates and comments in recent number as follows:
 Wine newoman-andsong has gone up against dollars-and-cents in Lansing, Mich, and the result is one of the most notable so far achieved in Amer ica The most prominent leader of the drys is not an evangelist, nor any other sort of custodian of the soul. He is simply commercial person-R. H. Scott.
 ''In the year 1910, in the factory of which Mr. Scott is manager, in a pe- riod of ten successive weeks, the em- ployees lost total of 323 working days-and the wages of those days because of not being able to recover promptly from pay nights spent in sa- looms.
 Tn the dry-versus-wet campaign in 1910 in Lansing Mir Scott fought for morals and economics. Nevertheless the campaign did not please all of Lansing's business men. They thought that dry town would lose business to wet towns near by. So, two years later, Lansing went wet again.
 This gave everybody wonderful chance to compare dry Lansing with wet Lansing, commercially.
 First, as for the cost of running the government. it was soon found that a wet Lansing had to spend a good deal of money supporting its wet citizens. One of many proofs was this: the cost of feeding the prisoners in the county jail during the two years while Ian sing was dry had been $5,600, while during the two ensuing years of wet ness the cost of feeding them Cat the same rate per person. was S11, 300. Quite a difference for town of 40, 0,000
 Second, as for business itself, scores of merchants were converted to the proposition that the competition of not be half so injurious to them as the competition of saloons on Lan- sings own streets Their experiences may be summarized into the statement of a butcher who remarked merely that when the town was dry he could collect his back bills, and when it was wet he couldn't.
 Tn the last dry-versus-wet campaign in Lansing the merchants did not rally to the support of the flowing bowl at all. They turned to the over1owing pay envelope and the paid-up ac- counts. The issue discussed was pros perity, and the majority for going to 1t sober was 1900
 The efficiency of the factory is at least 10 per cent higher dry than wet, according to MT Scott
 And a similar result is shown in the cost figures furnished to Everybody's Magazine by MT. C. E. Bement, gen. eral manager of another company. In dry Lansing-and for no reason eX- cept dryness and greater sobriety and energy-the cost of making engines by this concern has gone down 70 Ne'i'S per horse power"

The old question as to whether it Is an advantage or a disadvantage to university to be placed ill city is up again.
 Dr. Frederic A. Hall, acting chan. cellor of Washington University, that St. Louis seat of learning the remark able expansion of which, particularly in it's Medical Department, is a matter of world interest, expressed, when seen, the opinion that ground for a controversy on the subject no longer exists.
 That question was dealt with de- cisively more than six years ago. said Dr. Hall, referring his interviewer to an address delivered by the uniyer- sity's chancellor, Dr. David F. Houston, who is on leave of absence to serve as Secretary of Agriculture in President Wilson's Cabinet, and to a paper, treating the subject in detail. prepared by a professor of the university sev- eral months afterWard.
 "The points then raised in favor of the urban university seem to me to gain strength with age said Dr. Hall, who, calling the librarian, procured copies of the papers of which he had spoken and presented them to his visitor
The Prescott daily news., 1915-08-03
pr. Eouston's Terse Argument

The Houston address, while dealing primarily with another, although re- lated, subject, includes a terse argu- ment in favor of the urban university.
 "The advantages of a city location for a university are obvious" declares Dr. Houston in this address. They lie not more in the large collections of available books and documents and In the interplay and friction of the minds of the strongest men of the nation, and in the frequent presence of the great men of the world, than in the existence of great institutions like courts, manufacturing establishments, architectural monuments and under takings, and engineering enterprises, which make it possible for the student, and the professor as we'll to keep abreast of the times, and to see the latest demonstrations of applied science"
 The paper pointing out in detail the advantages of the city for a university is in part as follows:
 To begin with, the city itself is great teacher-a teacher of knowledge which no formal class instruction affords but which every student ought to receive.
 For all divisions of social science, (Economics, Charities and Corrections, Education, GovernmenD and the physi- cal sciences Physics, Chemistry, Engi- neering), the city best contributes the material needed by the student Some of these studies are scarcely possible out side of a city. Poverty, crime and vice. and the means of dealing with them, can not be studied from books alone; the student must observe the facts at first hand, and these he can find only in great town-there only can he find in sufficient numbers, living in their own districts, the classes of people to be studied and also the institutions for re- heving them.
 The life of the city, with its sharp contrasts of rich and poor, has been thought the chief danger ofA our free government. If the study of these sub- jects is to be of practical use that study must take place in the midst of these puzzling and troublesome facts
 In many subjects of study, the H. braries of the city supplement the library of university. Large libraries nearly always specialize more or less; one is we'll supplied with certain books which others lack. The presence in a city of number of large libraries is, therefore considerable advantage to the uni versity.

SLOPE FOR PEACH ORCHARDS

Where an orchard occupies a site
that Is adjacent to large body of
water, the Importance Of a relatively
high elevation largely disappears To
ne FACTOR In the matter. however, a
body OF water must be of SUFFICIENT size
and depth to have an appreciable inf,u-
ence on the local climate. Because tho
water warns up In the spring moro
slowly than the atmosphere, 1t acts in
effect as a refrigerator, making the
temperature In it's mediate vicinity
colder than IT Is at points somewhat
distant from 1t. For this reason, vege-
tation within the zone Of this influence
advances more slowly In the spring
than 1t does outside OF that zone. The
tendency Is for the poisoning Of peach
trees situated within the zone to be de-
laEed until after the season OF spring
frostS Is past.
In the fall frosts arc delayed in a
similar manner. except that the large
body of water, having absorbed much
heat during the summer. cools off in
tho fall moro slowly than the atmos-
phere. and hence 1t tends to keep the
temperature within It's zone OF infu-
encc warmer than 1t would other
wise be.
1t is because OF these reasons that
peaches ire grown with marked sue
cess and injury to the crops by adverse
temperature conditions Is comparative-
~ infrequent in the portions OF New
York and the province OF Ontario that
border Lake Ontario; In Ohio, along
Lake Erie: in southwestern Michigan,
on Lake Michigan, and in some other
districts which are adjacent to large
bodies of water. AS rule, the zone Of
influence of bodies Of water. such as
those named, is rather narrow, usually
not extending back from the shore more
than a few miles.
The slope or exposure Of site is the
point of the compass toward which tho
land inclines. A question very COM
monty asked is, What slope is best?"
I, Is one that admits of no direct an
swer. No one slope is preferable I'M
der all conditions and in all regions In
fact. the influence which a particular
exposure may have in the success of an
orchard is probably much over-empha-
sized in the popular mind.
Aa a rule. II is doubtless safe to as
sumo that a site having a moderate
slope In some direction Is to be pre-
ferred for orchard purposes, other
things being equal. to one that Is level.
One having slope will usually have
better soil and atmosphere drainage
than level area.
