How To Preserve Your Supply Of Eggs

Place the eggs to be stored into stone crock in

solution to be at least two inches above the eggs.

In storing eggs there are just a few things which

Tor you TO know. First don't fail to cover the
eggs by at least two inches of the fluid. Don't
preserve dirty eggs, those that have been pre-
Nlously washed. Washed eggs will not keep owing
to the moistened shells and dirty eggs will taint
the flavor of the others
Don't use last years liquid over again Use
fresh liquid each time its cheap enough
Don't attempt to use the eggs from the fluid

While it is true that eggs laid almost any time
will be splendidly preserved under the water-glass
method, yet summer eggs will not keep nearly so
well as springfield ones. Another point which il
might be well to consider is that inferte eggs will
always keep better than fertile and if possi-

Several Of my best hens are suffering from the
disease.
Awhile this is indeed unsghtly in a flock Of
birds yet It is not always serious affection. 1t is
not always dangerous. but nevertheless should
be eradicated If left unattended often results in
the loss Of the toes and sometimes results in DEATH
This affection is due to a sort of mite or parasite
which bores its way under the scales of the leg
and causes inflammation The scales will be raised
from its normal position. look ugly. and the leg
will become swollen. Scaly leg is not necessarily
very contagious but if left unattended will spread
slowly through the flock. Soak the affected fowls
legs in warm soapy water then brush with stiff
brush to remove the loose scales. Now apply car

treatment each night after the bird has gone to
roost, until the affection has disappeared.

COUNTY AGENT NOTES

Experiments carried on in Sussel
County two years ago showed conclus
lively that a considerable crop in
crease can be secured in many cases
by top dressing the young wheat early
in spring with nitrate of soda at a
rate of about 100 pounds per acre.
This treatment both increased the
amount of straw and the yield of the
grain. In one case the yield of grain
was doubled, in other cases a half
more grain was secured, while no in
crease was less than a third.
Owing to the present cost Of nj
trate of soda, it may be thought that
it will not pay this year to use this
fertilizer, but since wheat has gone
up in price even more than nitrate,
there is no good reason why the prac-
tice should not be as profitable now
as ever before. The best results may
be expected when the wheat has a
perfect stand but is small on account
Of late planting. On well manured
land where the grain was sOwn early
and where a good start has been made
this spring, the same profitable re-
suits may not appear
In every section of the country
where grass land has to be coaxed
along a little, and even in natural
grass land, an increasing number of
farmers are adopting the practice of
using commercial fertilizers on meadow !
and pasture. Hay at fifteen to twenty |
dollars a ton is no mean crop, and past

can rarely be figured accurately in dol

There is more money in doing things properly on
a small scale than attempting large things when
you are not prepared for them. Many persons
make the mistake Of forcing fifty birds into quar-
ters built TO accommodate twenty-five. and then
complain when their returns fall below normal.
With such persons the blame is generolly placed
on the hens when, in reality. the birds have moth
ing to do with it. The fault is with the breeder
Overcrowding is one Of the most common Of mis-
takes among the average small breeders. and by

NEW YORK - We have not seen
the last of Jersey cloth. Even though
it spread itself with mushroom growth
over the continent last summer and
autumn, the insistence of the Paris
designers and the approval of the
American dressmakers have not only
kept it on the market, but substantiatc
the prophecy that it viii lead fabrics

Ornate Sporting Suits.
Last September, the two supreme
creators OF sport clothes-Royant and
Chanel in Paris-got very fanciful
ideas in their hearts concerning Amer
lean sports and the treatment OF jer-
sey cloth And so we had costumes
that ran into hundreds of dollars, be-
cause Of the bullion embroidery lavish
ed over their surfaces.
Heretofore, the mind of woman had
not encompassed the thought of gold
and silver embroidery used in gowns
for tennis. polo and the beaches. but
the mind is not slow to take up any
new idea that is advanced in feminine
costumery The woman OF large in
come was quite pleased over the idea
OF being elaborate when she should be
severely simple, and in way, this
was not as absurd a view as il sounds
1t has come about that from May
until November, the larger part of the
American public takes its recreation in
looking on at violent exercise done BY
experts on the field, in some kind OF
game These women look on. they
have no desire to be strictly anC Sc
verely attired, and yet, they are no,
quite in the mood for maslins and
satins and gay adornmcnt. The silk
Jersey with its ornamental touches
suggests to them an excellent compro-
mise, and it was through this channel
that Royant and Channel made their
success.
The placing of fur on silk Jersey
! caused little comment In any other
epoch. il might have met with disap-
proval. but the women of the moment
consider iur a necessary appendage to
every garment except stockings. II
has already appeared as top to high
shoes, and 1t looks uncommonly well
too. when used in this way.
