The eggs should be gathered twice daily to prevent early development of the germ. Fertile eggs gathered twice daily will keep as well as infertile eggs.

It will be found that these preserved eggs have re- tained their freshness and delicacy of flavor, and are entirely satisfactory for cooking and table use. It is neces- sary to insert pin through the large end of eggs that are to be boiled otherwise the expansion of the con- tents will crack the sealed shell. The cost of the preservative is less than cents a dozen, while the cos. of the container should not be over I3 cents dozen eggs. These are lib- eral estimates, and the containers should last indefinitely. Recall the past six months and you can readily figure what you can save by preserv- ing surplus spring eggs.

AYLESBURY DUCKS

Though one of the oldest known varie-
 ties of domestic ducks the Aylesbury is
 still the favorite breed of England
 According to many writers white ducks
 have been known for centuries and there seems to be no account of the origin of the Aylesbury. It is the leading market duck of England. In America it has been supplanted by the Pekin duck Eng fish epicures prefer white skin and light legs and beaks on their table poultry both ducks and chickens, while American tastes prefer yellow skin, bills and legs. For marketing purposes the Aylesbury is
 easily the best of English market ducks on account of it's rapid growth and early maturity. Like the Pekin, Aylesbury ducklings weighing from 4 to 51s pounds
 can be produced in from seven to nine
 weeks At this age and size they bring best prices and some sections of Great

age. "pickling" eggs in a saturated solution of limewater, with frequently the addition of a small amount of cream of tartar and salt was an i'm portant commercial industry. Cellars in the egg centers were filled with long wooden tanks containing the limewater solution. Thousands of eggs were pickled. They were washed with weak acid water after removal from the solution to remove. the coating of lime. Most of these eggs have 8 'limey" flavor, and they do not equal waterglass eggs.
 Systems of greasing eggs have been introduced the past year that resemble the third successful method of coating the eggs with vaseline. Animal or vegetable lard compounds, mixture of cotton seed oil and beeswax (melted and added to the oil to. thick en it. and even butter, are rubb ed over all the shell. The eggs are then stored in regulation cases.

Britain are devoted entirely to this duck rearing industry. Quickness of growth is an important factor In respect to the profit gained, as the young ducklings are heavy feeders.
 As layers Aylesburys are considered second to the Pekin, many females Iay- ing as many as 15O eggs in a year. It is important to the commercial duck grower that these eggs be laid at the right sea- son and be fertile For this reason he matches his breeding ducks early and mates sufficient number of drakes with his flock to insure fertility. Aylesbury breeding ducks require some range and swimming water to obtain best results.
 Mature Aylesbury drakes weigh to 10 pounds. ducks to g pounds. and should have white plumage, pale flesh colored bill, light yellow legs and carry the body horizontally.

cause decomposition. Tho porous shell has a thin. waterproof coating that seals
 up the pores through which injurious bacteria could enter. When this coating
 disappears, as it does in a short time under natural conditions, or immediately
 the egg becomes damp or Is washed. the
 bacteria pass into the egg through the
 open pores of the shell, and the moisture
 of the egg evaporates through the same

 rots. The evaporation draws in air to

 the air cell in the large end increases in size.
 Such a bad and stale egg cannot be
 preserved by any method and made fit to eat All any liquid preservative can do is to seal the pores of the shell and prevent the evaporation we have men, toned, and also prohibit the entrance of these injurious bacteria. It can be readily understood, that if the contents of the egg are perfectly fresh when it is placed in the preservative, it will retain it's perfect condition.

How a Million Dollars Looks

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 In a recent celebration held in San Francisco, one of the chief attractions was a pile of a million dollars in gold The privilege of having good look at all this money was given the guests by the city treasurer who offered to make the display before the coins were re- leased on their separate adventures in the business world.
 There were 50,OOO s20 gold pieces in the display, which means that nearly two tons of gold had to be brought from the treasury. The coins were all minted at San Francisco within the past year. If

PRESERVING EGGS WHILE
 PLENTIFUL FOR NEXT WINTER
Method Is as Simple as Pre- serving Fruit and Success Is Virtually Assured. Cost of the Preservative
 Is Small and Containers May Be Used Many Times
BY FRANK c. HARE Poultry Husbandman. Clemson Col Iegc, South Carolina

legc, South Carolina
 For centuries industrious house. wives have preserved small fruits and vegetables for winter use, Every year storerooms are filled with rows of glass jars, whose contents add new relish to the winters bill of fare. There is no reason why fresh eggs should not be similarly preserved. It is simpler work and less expensive than preserving fruit, as will be noted by the few rules in the following ar ticle.
 All breeds of domestic poultry originated from the jungle fowl of India, which rears two broods of chicks in the early months of the year. By systematic breeding the an- nual production of eggs has been in creased from 25 eggs for the wild jungle fowl. to 314 eggs for the Leg horn hen holding the worlds record. But the instinct of the jungle fowl to lay it's eggs and rear it's young during the spring months. and to be nonpro- ductive the remainder of the year, has not been entirely suppressed.
 Hens are laying freely at the present time and the price of fresh eggs is be- low the average. Next winter the ma jority of hens will again be nonpro- ductive, and, if forecasts are of value. the selling prices of fresh and storage eggs will be higher than ever. Indi- viduals and companies are buying up fresh eggs and placing them in cold storage. Close to $100,000,000 worth of eggs will be stored. and the better grades of these eggs will later supply the enormous demand for table and cooking eggs when the fresh product is scarce.
 It is unnecessary for the owner of flock of laying hens to suffer a shortage of eggs next winter. It is not only possible for every housewife to keep supply of preserved eggs on hand, but, when the prices of all food stuffs. and particularly meats, are continually rising, the preserving of eggs at home is a good way to reduce the high cost of living. This work should be understood and practiced in avery household.
 SUCCESSFUL REPRESENTATIVES,
 Some years ago an experiment was conducted to determine which of 2C methods of preserving eggs was the most satisfactory. The eggs were treated the day laid and kept period of eight months. Three of the 20 methods gave perfect results:
 1. Eggs preserved in a solution of waterglass (the technical name of Waterglass is sodium silicate).
 3. Eggs packed in solution of lfmewater.
 g. Eggs coated with vaseline.
 Numerous tests at experimental sta tions, by housewives. and on con- mercial scale have demonstrated tha, the immersion of fresh eggs in a solu- tion of waterglass will unquestionably keep them in perfect condition for the length of time desired. This method is strongly recommended.

NECESSARY MATERIALS

A supply of fresh eggs Each days production can be put down at night. Containers for holding the preservative. One oi more glazed earthenware, five gallon crooks with covers are most desir- able. Galvanized iron or woden pails, or large galvanized iron ash or garbage cans are suitable. All containers must be ab- solutely clean. Scrub thoroughly and then scald with boiling water. Liquid or dry waterglass.
 To prepare the preservative from liquid waterglass, bring to boiling point 10 gal Ions of water for each gallon of liquid waterglass. Allow the water to cool ant then stire the liquid wascrglass into the proper quantity of the boiled water Gone part to 10 parts of boiled water). Mix well
 When the dry waterglass is purchased, bring three gallons of water to the boil ing point. Then add slowly one pound of the powder, stirring vigorously to pre- vent the formation of Jumps. Allow the preservative to cool.
 Pour the preservative into the crooks or other containers, half filling these vessels. More preservative may be added, , if necessary, when they are filled with eggs.

Grief Stricken at Death;

MURDER THEORY
WAS CORRECT ONE

Clyde Armour is better dead than
living the life of the man who posed
as G. d. Armour" said Roy Armour,
n of the brothers of Clyde d. Ar
mour, and who arrived in the city to-
day from Hubbard, Neb., accompanied
by j. B. Lake, Of Dakota City, Neb.
Mr.. Lake was a brother-in-law and
lifelong friend Of Clyde Armour.
AS dreadful as it is for a man to
have positive evidence that his much
loved brother had been murdered in
cold blood by an astounding scoundrel
who shot him down from the back for
a paltry thousand dollars, l would
rather a million times know that
Clyde Armour is dead than to have
him diving. the life of a cutthroat and
.libertine," said Roy Armour. The
discovery of poor Clyde's remains has
put an everlasting silence on those
who had depicted him as the gay
young sport who spent money reck-
lessly, who fought booze inveterately
and who Travelled around with a fast
set at night.
Our belief that an impostor had
posed as Clyde Armour in Santa Fe
and Albuquerque has been indicated.
Our theory, advanced on the day we
arrived in Santa Fe that Clyde Ar
mour was lured from his automobile
on the road from Las Vegas to Santa
