Wilson Speaking
On Preparedness

President Wilson has taken
the stump and has this week
made a number of speeches out
lining his position on the ques-
tion of preparedness.
A brief synopsis of his state
ment is here given.
President Wilson, speaking,
as he said, "solemnly." Is warn
ing the nation that the time
may come when we cannot both
keep the United States out of
war and maintain it's honor. He
declared that the country must
be prepared to defend itself and
prepared at once.
America is not afraid OF any
body" he said. II know 1 re-
fleet your feeling and the feel
ing of all of our citizens when
say the only thing l am afraid of
is not being ready to perform
my duty. l am afraid of the
danger of inadequscy; l am
afraid of the danger of not being
able to express the chief charac-
ter of this country with tremen-
dous might and effectiveness
whenever we are called upon to
Let in the field of the worlds af-
fairs"
The President is speaking with
more gravity and force than he
has shown during any of his pre-
vious addresses on preparedness.
Let me tell you very solemn
ly you cannot postpone this
thing" h. declared. II do not
know what a single day may
bring forth. | do not wish tc
leave you with the impression
that l am thinking of some par.
ticular danger.
II merely wish to tell you
that we are daily treadine
amidst intricate dangers. The
dangers that we are treadins
amongst are not of our own max
ing and not under our control.

States knows what q single
week, a single day, may bring

1T is very difficult for us to
hold off and look with COO
judgment upon such tremen
dous matters. 1t has not beer
easy for the Government al
Washington to avoid these en-
tanglements which seem to be-
set it on every side. 1t has need

and unremitting patience to dc
so.

PRESERVING EGGS IS SIMPLE
Water Glass Method ls Not at All
Observation-Disclosures is Very Inn.
portant Factor.

By r. p. LADD, North Dakota Expert
ment Station)
In preserving eggs the water-glass
method is very simple. Eggs put up
according to 1t will retain their orig
lnal flavor.
Directions: The eggs must be fresh
and clean. Washing an egg spolls its
qualities. Galvanized iron vessels,
crooks, jars or wooden kegs may be
used. The vessel must be clean. If
OF wood 1t must be thoroughly scald-
ed. Use a good grade Of water glass.
One like heavy white jelly that flows
like cold molasses. Use one quart of
the water glass to ten quarts of pure
water that has been boiled. Pour into
the vessel when cool. Fresh eggs
can be put into II from time TO time
until the jar is filed. There should be
two inches of the solution above the
eggs.
Keep the preserved eggs In cool
place. as in cellar. The eggs will
contain some gas and so crack when
boiled. This can be prevented by max
ing pin hole in the blunt end OF the
eggs before boiling them.

MORE EGGS WITHOUT MALES
minated Hens Not Worried and Re-
tain More Energy to Be Devoted
to Egg Production.

II has been quite well established by
tests that hens kept separated from
male birds will produce more eggs
than those that run with the males.
In one experiment Ave hens, five pull
let's and cock were put in ono pen
and five hens and FIVE pullets in an
other. All were of the same breed and
were given the same care.
The experiment continued from
January until September. The mated
females produced $50 eggs and the
minated ones 972, difference Of %
In favor OF the unmated ones. IN an
other experiment practically the same
results were secured.
The theory Is that minated hens
are not worried by the male and be-
Ing more quiet retain more energy to
be devoted to the production OF eggs.

Fruits and vegetables give variety to
the diet and supply certain food mate
rails which are necessary to maintain
health. They do not leave us In need
OF spring tonic.
In the day of our grandmothers the
canning of vegetables was little under
stood and results were seldom success
full. We know today that foods spoil
from the action of small organisms
called bacteria, which float In the air
around us and we know how to Kill
them. II these are killed In the process
OF canning and the Jars sealed air
tight, food will keep indefinitely. DIFF
ferent kinds of bacteria are found In
different kinds of foods. Some kinds
require higher temperature to Etll
them than others and for this reason
some fruits and vegetables must be
cooked longer than others during the
canning process.

rack may be made of thin boards or
heavy wire. 1t should be raised three
fourths OF an inch from the bottom of
the boiler or enough so that water can

prevents the Jars from getting too hot
Water should be an inch over the tops
of the jars.

DUCKS THRIVE ON SOFT FOOD
Nutritive Organs Not Adapted to
Whole Grains-Give Them Green
Feed In Abundance.

The ducks nutritive organs are not
adapted TO whole grains. The natural
diet OF ducks is soft food, worms and
bugs, from the banks and marshes For
best development, ducks should have
soft feed, always accompanied by wa
ter in pans deep enough TO permit them
TO submerge the beak TO the eyes. Give
them lettuce, spinach, beet tops, onion
tops, weeds-green food Of some kind
In abundance.
For n few ducks the vegetable par
ings may he boiled and fed with mash;
small potatoes, not TO exceed fifth
of the mash, may be used. Too many
potatoes are not good.
For stock ducks In autumn and early
winter. an excellent ration is equal
parts OF cornmeal, wheat bran and
boiled vegetables, with 10 per cent of
beef scrap fed morning and evening
at noon little cracked corn, wheat or
oats. When the birds begin to lay, In
crease the proportion of meal and
scrap, and add low-grade -four, max
ing u mash about as follows: Meal.
one part; bran, one part; low-grade
-four. one part; vegetables, one part,
with from II to 10 per cent Of beef

CBy II. L. KEMPsTER, Missouri Agri-
cultural Experiment Station)
Perhaps the best way to find out
what hens like Is to ask the hens. At
least that was the plan followed by
the Missouri agricultural experiment
station in recent tests In which
weighed amounts OF various feeds
were placed before the hens and what
they left OF each kind of feed was
weighed back so 1t was possible to tell
what kinds of feed they had eaten
and what they had passed by. At the
same time a careful record was kept
OF the number of eggs laid by each
hen and her changes in weight
The test seems to show that the hen
knows better than many people how
to select the food that will help her
most In laying eggs and keep her In
the best condition. Some old Ideas
with regard to poultry feeding were
proved sound and some others were
discredIted by the hens. They almost
all showed decided preference for
wheat which is very generally used
as a poultry feed. Kaflr stood next
in popularity, followed by corn and
cornmeal, but oats and sunflowers
were not eaten as much as many peo-
pie would have expected, probably be-

cause the hen Is not able to digest
much food containing a high percent
age of crude fiber. The hens that did
eat sunhower seed were seen cracking
them and eating only the softer por-
tions inside, possibly because they
wanted to get rid of the crude fiber
In the shell.
Bran Is often used In poultry feed
ing, but the hens In this test which
could get other feed almost always
chose 1t instead of bran. Alfalfa
leaves were tried but not eaten to any
great extent.
Animal food of some kind, such as
the beef scrap or sour milk, is gen
orally regarded as very necessary for
laying hens, but most Of the hens In
this test did not eat much more beef
scrap while laying than while not lay
ing. Two actually ate more Of 1t when
they were not laying.
Other tests at the Missouri station
have shown that the use of either beef
scrap or sour milk makes the hens
egg record at least twice as good as
though she were fed no animal feed
whatever, and that sour milk is slight
ly better than beef scrap for this pur.
pose In addition to being cheaper and
easier to get on most farms.

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH.

Few people realize TO what extent their
health depends upon the condition Of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of
serious illness, makes a chemical analy-
sis Of the patients urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According TO health sta.
tistics, Bright's Disease, which is really
an advanced form Of kidney trouble
