which seems more worth while. When
using a dozen eggs, as happens In big
families often. In others on occasions.
try scraping out the eggshells with
a spoon. This will give you the amount
Of one egg and Is well worth saving.
especially while eggs are so very high.
When eggs are cheap they should be
put down for the winter. Packed I'm
water glass, they are Just as good FOR
any form Of baking and will keep a
year II properly done. A quart Of wa.
ter glass added TO twelve quarts Of
boiled and cooled water put into large
stone crooks after the eggs are placed
will keep them perfectly. The eggs
should OF course be perfectly fresh
and great care taken not to crack
them. Cover the Jar and keep In q
cool place.
One OF the common wastes I'm most
homes Is the unscraped mixing bowl
spatulas may now he bought at the
ten cent counter. and a few turns
with a spatula win scrape out a dish,
often saving the amount of an indi-
vidual cake or gem or biscuit. II round
bottomed mixing bowls are used for
the dough mixtures. the scraping proc
ess will be much shortened. as the
spatula. being flexible. will take up
every bit OF the dough.
When apples are used II the parings
are saved and boiled with n little wa.
ter. then the water added 10 equal
quantities OF sugar and boiled, a glass

regulate the soil moisture OF the berry
patch means practically regulating the
berry harvest.
! The humus supply I'm the soil deter
mines to large degree the length Of
time moisture will be held during a dry
spell during the growing season. The
more humus the longer moisture will
be held; the less humus the quicker the
soil will dry out and the plants suffer
One Of the best ways to supply humus
/ to the soil and at the same time fur
nish extra fertility is to apply stable
manure. Land that is to be planted 10
berries this coming spring should be
covered heavily with manure this win.
ter. the sooner the better.
IL the berry patch soil is covered
early In the winter any kind of fresh
stable manure may be used literally
with safety. During the winter and
early spring 1t will have time to leach,
decompose and become mild. to be
turned under when the soil is plowed
1t is not safe to apply and plow under
fresh manure for berries, because the
fresh manure has tendency through
fermentation and decay to dry the soil
and injure the roots OF the young
plants. II berry soil Is treated In late
winter or early spring the manure
should be reasonably well decomposed
and mild. That from COW stables Is
milder than that from horse stables.
For winter treatment of berry soil
any kind OF manure of home produced
fertilizer may be used. A variety IL
the poultry house Is excellent. but must
be scattered thinly over the ground. as
1t Is strong. That from hog and sheep
houses is good. but is rich and must
be used sparlngly. The different kinds
may be mixed together for use. Wood
ashes are excellent fertilizer for all
kinds of fruits and especially good for
small fruits. They may be applied to
the soil any time during the winter and
early spring.
One of the best ways to use poultry
droppings ON small fruit soil is to use
coal ashes or dry soil 10 mix with and
to serve as moisture and odor absorb
ent for the perch droppings. In this
way the full value OF the droppings II
saved. and when the fertilizer Is ap-
piled with the absorbent 1t Is disinte-
grated and mild for use. More surface
can be covered with the same amount
Of fertilizer. DO not however. use
wood ashes In the poultry house as an
absorbent for poultry droppings. as the
ashes decompose the droppngs.
Ground rock phosphate. either acidu
lated or raw. may be applied to the
berry soil with good results. II the
acidulated Is used apply It only Just
before planting time. or even later,
working II into the soil between rows
through cultivation, as II acts quickly.
Raw rock phosphate may be applied
any time before preparing the soil be-
cause 1t dissolves very slowly In the
soil, acting slowly, but a longer time.
One OF the best ways TO use raw rock
phosphate on berry soil Is TO sprinkle
II In the COW stable as an absorbent.
then applying II mixed with the stable
manure.

THEOLOGICAL STUDENTS STUDY
AGRICULTURE

We are agreeably surprised to
learn that Divinity students are
taught more agriculture and urged to
preach it from pulpits as well as
theology. They are not only taught
10 take an interest in general agri-
cultural topics but they are admon-
ished TO have the best gardens, the
best kept lawns, and the best pruned
and sprayed fruit trees in the parish
TO which they are assigned.
This is a step forward and great
step too. Preaching Agriculture in
mountain section is needed-not only
preaching it, but doing it.
