KEEP EGGS FOR FUTURE USE
Water-GIass Solution Is Recommended
by Poultry Expert of Missouri
Agricultural College.
(By c. A. WEBSTER, University of Mis-
Snurl College of A sriclllt1lrn L

(By C. A. WEBSTER, University of Mis-
souri,, College of Agriculture)
Eggs preserved in the water-glass
solution will keep almost perfectly for
several months. They will poach near
ly as well as fresh eggs although the
taste is trifle more fat after long
storage. These are the conclusions
of the Missouri college of agriculture
after careful investigation of various
methods of storing eggs for winter
use.
Water-glass is purchased in liquid
form. Druggists commonly retail it at
twenty-five cents quart, and one
quart is enough to preserve twenty
dozen of eggs. For this number a
five gallon stone or earthenware crock
is the most satisfactory receptacle.
Heat ten quarts Of water to the boil
ing point and allow it to cool. Then
pour the water into the crock, add one
quart of water-glass and mix the two.
The solution is then ready for the
eggs. Place the eggs in the water
glass solution each day as soon as
they are laid. Use only naturally clean,
not washed, fresh eggs. When the
crock is filled to within two inches of
the top of the solution, cover and store
in a cool dry place until winter.
By this method eggs may be stored
during spring and summer when they
are relatively cheap and production
is high, for use during winter when
prices are high and production is low.
Farmer and townsman alike may save
many dollars by this method of cheap
storage of eggs. 1t is of the greatest
importance that the eggs used should
be absolutely fresh. Water-glass will
not make bad eggs good, but will keep
good eggs from becoming bad.

reason that they knew nothing about

them, and expect the hens to do the
rest.
Hens, like cows, yield a profit &C
cording to the treatment given them
They will not stand neglect. They are
hard workers when properly reward
ed, but can be most idle and indiffer-
ent producers when made to Shift for
themselves.
Our agricultural colleges have done
much to teach the new aspirants how
to tread in poultry paths, and men
and women who endeavor to improve
by these excellently arranged courses
OF instruction will have won half the
battle-the other half naturally be-
longs to practical experience.
A man with $1,000 had better in
vest one-half OF it in buildings, stock
and fixtures, and reserve the other
half for feed and running expenses
than invest the whole amount in the
equipment and have to go in debt for
the feed.
Eggs and poultry are staple crops,
and the demand is far greater than
the supply. This country needs more
poultry farms, and they will be sue
cessful when properly built and man.
aged. But the beginning must be
small and the growth gradual so that
every part of the work is properly
noted and correctly performed.

because it will raise a good crop al

benefit from it the first year, which is
a thing which can hardly ever be done
in the first-named states. On one, the
principal part of the water runs off,
and on the other it soaks in and is
stored up for future use.

A poultry farm built on a secure
foundation is sure to be successful If

not only necessary to make the right
kind of start, but the work must be
regularly and faithfully performed,
lay in and day out.
AS a rule, beginners start with
great enthusiasm, and not few build
air castles, but to many of them the
sameness of the work, the close ap-
plication, the constant watching, soon
become monotonous, and then there
is shjrking of duty, neglect, care

failure. The point is to begin small

uremic poisoning occurs and the per-

as heart disease. or disease of brain
or lungs.
