Preserving Eggs in Water Glass
Prepared by Connecticut Agricultural
College

Any person interested in keeping
down the high cost Of living should be
interested in preserving eggs for use
during the coming winter. Even the
egg prices have been from 35 to 90 per
cent higher than normal during the
months of March and April. With a
prospect OF a steady or increasing mar
ket there is still chance for consider
able saving. Withdrawals to storage
have been rather light, and at an alb
normally high figure which with the
probable decrease in the number OF
hens kept due TO the high cost OF feed
means high prices next winter.
Preserving eggs in water glass is
neither difficult nor expensive. The
cost of preservative and container
should not exceed 3 cents per dozen.
Mix II quarts OF commercial water
glass in Is quarts OF water that has
been boiled and allowed TO cool This
mixture is sufficient TO preserve one
30 dozen case OF eggs.
Use only fresh, clean eggs with good
sound shells. II possible pack each
day as collected. DO not use eggs more
than week old, Infertile eggs are
preferable to fertile eggs. April, May
and early June eggs keep better than
those produced later In the season.
For a contniner an earthern ware
crock is usually considered best, but
galvanized Iron may be used. New
ash cans are very satisfactory when
several cases are to be preserved. One
case of eggs with the above water glass
mixture will require a 85 to 40 quart
container. For preserving large mum.
bers allow one quart of water glass
mixture for each two dozen eggs: the
capacity OF the can will run little
less than dozen 10 the quart. BE
sure that the liquid comes well above
the top of the eggs. Cover the con
tainer TO prevent evaporation and store
in a cool place.

The new idea in delinquent kiddom

other way of applying the old axiom
that an ounce of prevention is worth

and Italians in having a social service
committee work with the juvenile

negroes will appoint a social service
committee next week.

OMAHA ELKS HONOR

Memorial Services Held at the.
Hour of the Funeral in
Denver.
OPEN LODGE OF SORROW

Omaha paid its last tribute to Colo
mel Wil1ism Frederick Cody, Buffalo
Bill, yesterday afternoon at $3.50 when
Omaha lodge No. 80, Benevolent and
Protective Ordte of Elks, of which
the super-plainsmAn was member,
held an open lodge Of sorrow.
Scores of Elks. their friends and
acquaintance crowded into the lodge
rooms for the services. There were
many who knew the great scout,
knew him personally, took rank
among his closest friends. There
we're others who were just casual ac-
quaintances, had merely met him. And
there were still others who had never
known him, had never shaken him by
the hand, perhaps had never seen him.
But with one accord they listened, 81
lcntly and attentively, to the glowing
tributes paid the famous plainsman.
The open lodge of sorrow was held
simultaneously with the funeral serv-
ices at Denver, which also were held
under the direction of the Elks.
McCune Cannot Talk.
Colonel William McCune, himself
prominent figure in the interesting
life of the early frontier had been
asked to tell some "reminiscences OF
his experiences with Colonel Cody.
Mr.. McCune, who was prevented from
attending the funeral by an accident
week ago, travelled over 100000
miles with Buffalo Bill in the United
States and Europe, and enjoyed the
full confidence Of the great scout
Colonel McCune attended the me-
mortal, but he was so visably affected
he was unable to speak and brief
account of his association with Colo
mel Cody was read by Dan Butler.
Andrew NJ. Morrissey, chief justice
of the Nebraska supreme court, de-
livered the eulogy on Colonel Cody.
In glowing terms he extolled the
deeds OF the great scout. He told how
Buffalo Bill was known from Missis-
sippi to Pacific in the widest, most
murderous days of the most lawless
and savage territory this continent
ever knew, as super-plainsman. a
precocious trail-driver, a scout of fear
less heart, a hand-to-hand duelist. an
uncanny shot and a fighter against
any odds for a just cause. In equally
glowing terms he praised the man for
the man he was, pure of heart, true Of
character, fearless, courageous, al
ways willing, never stacking and a
disciple of the good and the right. .
Mayor Dahlman Speaks.
Rev. T. ]. Mackay, a personal friend
OF Colonel Codv's, was also to have
made an address, but was unable to
on account of sore throat.
F. Pratt Har%ood, exalted ruler of
the lodge, read The Elks' eulogy from
the ritual, and Mayor Dahlman also
spoke. ...-
John A. McCreary, the lodge organs
ist, gave two solos, one of which was
"Tenting Tonight on the Old Camp
Ground" Colonel Cody's favorite Sc
lection Henry Cox and the Omaha
Chamber Music society and a quartet
from Millie Ryan's studio gave other
musical numbers.
