Handy Egg Cases.

handling the cases as fragile ship
ments, will greatly lessen this enor-
nous and important waste of valu-
able food. 1t is urged, therefore, that
everyone who has anything to do with
getting eggs to the storage markets
exercise unusual care this year to
prevent them from being even checked.
Once an eggshell is cracked, even so
slightly that the eye cannot see it,,
germs and molds find ready entrance
into the egg and spoil it's contents.
Nature has provided the egg with a
delicate protective, gelatinous coating,
which as long as it is intact tends to
keep out air and germs. Once this
coating is pierced, the keeping quality
Of the egg is lessened Immediately.
Five per cent of the 2,400,0O0,OOO
dozen eggs put in cold storage, the
specialists find, spoil because they
were checks; that is, eggs so slightly
cracked that they could not be de-
tected in quick handling during the
spring rush Of storing the bulk of
eggs for winter use.

Children and Untruths.

Why do children lie? Edwin S. Pull
Ter in the Mothers Magazine answers
the question by saying that the imagi-
nation of a child is stronger than his
intellect, that fiction is as real to a
child as fact.
"The cure for lies inspired by imagi-
nation" he asserted, sis the education
of the childs intellect to distinguish
between fact and fancy. AS his error
is mental, not normal, his cure must
be mental. 1t would be grave error
of training to attempt to suppress his
imagination as cure for his untruths.
Imagination is the handspring which
moves his mentality to growth, hence
it should be directed into rational
channels and not curbed.

ENGLISH AS SHE IS SPOKE
What the American Soldier Intends to
Do With Kaiser Is Not Under

With commendable enterprise Lon
don editorial brother seeks to clarity
for his readers the quaint expression of
certain American soldiers who have in
timated that their first undertaking in
Europe will be to "can the kaiser" In
interpreting them to intend to seal up
his high mightiness hermetically, how
ever, the Londoner's zeal outruns his
information.
Nix, nix, friend, it doesn't mean that
at all says the st. Louis Post-Dis-

pose to decorate the German emperor
with hardware to take his taw; pour
the leather into him. put him on the
pan; slip him one on the wind! kid
nap his Angora; show him where he
gets off. To put it more plainly, hav-
ing bought chips in game where the
custom has been to play 'em close to
the waistcoat, the Americans have
taken off the limit and announce they
will copper all bets, see all raises and
intend, the very first time the kaiser
gets his feet wet, to call him off the
Christmas tree.

our British brethren are about to find

VALUABLE FOR CATTLE FEED
Trials of Grain of Broom Corn MiiIet
in Rations for Stock More Profit
able Than Corn.

Prose-, or broom-corn millet, is more
distinctively a grain millet, and it has
been used to some extent in North
Dakota and South Dakota as grain
crop. Trials Of the grain of broom
corn millet and the foxtaii millets in
rations for hogs and beef cattle indi-
cate that it is much less valuable
than corn for this purpose and does
not equal barley as flesh producer.
The South Dakota agricultural expe-
riment station found that it took about
8 per cent more millet than barley to
produce pound Of gain, and on this
basis it would be about 16 per cent
less efficient than corn as a hog feed
The meat produced by millet contained
a greater percentage Of lean than that
produced by other feeds, and the fat
was softer. For feeding steers it re-
quired 81 per cent more millet than
corn to produce pound of gain, %
Per cent more than oats, and % per
cent more than spelt.

KEEP DAIRY PRODUCTS COOL
Importance Of Act Is Emphasized by
Expert Of Kansas CoIiege-con-
crete Tank Favored.

Importance Of keeping the dairy
products cool during the summer
months is emphasized by N. e. Olson,
instructor in dairy husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college. A
satisfactory cooler for the milk and
cream can be made at small cost.
If the milk house is near the wind
mill or hand pump all that is neces-
sary to keep the milk cool and in good
condition is a large barrel with pipe
connections from the pump to the
stock tank. A coal oil barrel, deodor-
ized by burning, will answer the pur-
pose. The inlet pipe from the pump
should be near the bottom and the out
let pipe near the top of the barrel.
This should lead to the stock tank.
The cans may be hung in the water
so that the top Of the cream or milk
is well below the surface of the water.
It is necessary, however, to stir the
contents of the cans SO that the milk
or cream will be evenly cooled. Thick
cream should be stirred every Is min
utes or half hour for two hours, The
new cream should be cooled before it
is mixed with the old cream.
Farmers who are building new milk
houses will find it convenient to build
the cooling tank Of concrete, in the
opinion of Mr.. Olson. This may he
set two feet in the ground and 18 to "a
inches above the ground. 1t is not nee
essary for the windmill to keep pump
ing continuously in order to keep the
dairy products cool enough with this
arrangement. If the water is changed
few times each day they will keep.

OIL CHEAPER THAN REPAIRS
Examination of All Parts of Machinery
Is as Important as Feeding
Horse.

Oil and grease on a tractor are
cheaper than repairs plus time lost in
obtaining them and getting started
again.
Looking over all parts of the ma
chine regularly is just as important
as regular feeding and watering of
horses.
The wrong kind of lubricating oil
wastes power and fouls every working
part. Get instructions from the build
ers as to kind and quantity of oil.
These are tractor suggestions from
the horse and machinery committee OF
the Kansas council of defense.
Sharp plows, it is further pointed
out by the committee, call for less
power from the engine to do good
work, hence less cost to operate and
longer life for the tractor. Lengthen-
ing of bitches between engine and plow
will often eliminate a large part of
side draft, which is another way Of
reducing the cost of the work.
A good headlight, moreover, will
greatly increase the usefulness Of the
engine.

Why Bottle Was Empty.

1 One delight of small Harold was to
go on an errand to a neighboring store.
After school yesterday at No. 8 he
was sent by his mother to get siphon
of vichy. He was long in returning.
When he did arrive. his mother scoid-
ed him for consuming so much time.
"Why," she exclaimed, "and the 81
phon is nearly empty. Do you mean to
tell me that is all the vichy there was
in the bottle when you got it?"

GOOD LUBRICANT IS HELPFUL
Too Many Farmers and Teamsters Use
Cheap Grease on Wagons and
Drays-lt Don't Pay.

The useful life of wagon or dray
employed in heavy hauling depends
very largely on the care of its wheels
and axles.
Hosts of farmers and teamsters
who ought to know better, think that
"grease is just grease anyway" and
so cut the boxes out of their wagon
wheels by using some inferior lubri-
cant, which runs off and leaves the
spindle dry. or forms stiff, almost
gritty substance in the wheel, which is
just as bad.

LITTLE THINGS COUNT MOST
Thorough Drying After Cleansing Is
Of Great Importance In Caring
for Dairy Utensils.

OF chief Importance in the care Of
dairy utensils, especially in warm
weather, is thorough drying after
cleaning. Cleaning will remove a
large per cent of the bacteria and
much of the food for their growth.
Application of steam for 80 seconds
kills but few, but it will supply heat
to dry the utensils, which prevents
bacterial growth, so that there will
be practically no more present II
hours later than five minutes after
washing the utensils.

Taking Crops of Farm on Four Legs

Do not forget that taking your crop

ways to make clear money off of your
