There is a reason for this. Investi-
cation has proved that In ditch irriga-
ton not moro than one-ffth OF the
water is helpfully utilized In promot-
ing plant growth. while, the irrigating
bitches and their fiood carry away a
great deal OF the fertilizing elements
in the soil Not only that. but the
ditch system is extravagant in that It
takes up space that might otherwise
be utilized for planting.

From what l have already said it

that during 1916 we sold 100000

"YOuR SISTER EXECUTED
TODAY" CENSOR WROTE
Germany Let Letter Telling of the
Hunger Go Through After
Adding That Line.

An account Of German cruelty that
is almost unbelievable came through
the mails to a resident Of Wilmington,
Del. That it was allowed to pass the
German censor, it Is believed, is due to
the fact that the individual handling
this piece Of mail desired to impress
upon the world at large the punish
ment the German government imposes
upon those who question the kaisers
authority or opinion.
The letter came from German wO-
man whose sister Is one Of that city's
most respected residents. The writer
said there was a lack Of food Of all
kinds in Germany, that what they had
was Of an inferior quality and that old
people were dying because Of lack Of
nourishment. The writer referred to
the pitiful sights in German homes
where there are children. She said the
people were aroused to a point Of des-
peration over the food situation and
that they felt that their loved ones
were being sacrificed to Prussian
pride. They placed the blame on the
kaiser.
Further on the writer said she had
suffered so much and her family had
been so reduced by the want OF food
that she felt as though she could kill
the kaiser If she found the opportunity.
All these details the German censor
permitted to pass.
Then at the bottom Of the letter was
line signed 1.-The Censor"
"Your sister was executed this morn
ing" this line read.

not desirable, since they increase the
liability Of breaking some Of the eggs
and spelling the entire batch.
It must be remembered that the eggs
on the bottom crack first and that those
In the bottom Of the crooks are the last
to be removed for use. Eggs can be
put up In smaller crooks, and the eggs
put in the crock first should be used
f1rst in the household.
Water Glass Method.
water glass; is known to the chem
list as sodium silicate. 1t can be pur-
chased by the quart from druggists or
poultry supply men. 1t is pale yell
low, odorless, sirupy liquid. 1t is d.
luted in the proportion Of one part Of
silicate to nine parts Of distilled wa
ter, rain water or other water. In any
case the water should be boiled and
then allowed to cool. Half fill the YES
sci with this solution and place the
eggs in 1t. being careful not to crack
them. The eggs can be added few at
q time until the cOntainer is filed. Be
sure to keep about two inches Of wa
ter glass above the eggs. Cover the
crock and place 1t in the coolest place
available from which the crock will
not have to be removed. Inspect the
crock from time to time and replace
any water that has evaporated with
cool boiled water.
How to Use Preserved Eggs.
When the eggs are to be used remove
them as desired, rinse in clean, cold
water and use Immediately.
Eggs preserved in water glass can be
used for soft boiling or poaching up to
November. Before boiling such eggs
prick tiny hole in the large end of
the shell with a needle to keep them
from cracking. They are satisfactory
for frying until about December. From
that time until the end of the usual
storage period-that is until March
they can be used for omelettes, scram-
bled eggs, custards, cakes and general
cookery. As the eggs age the white
becomes thinner and is harder to beat.
The yolk membrane becomes more deli
cate, and it is correspondingly difficult
to separate the whites from the yolks.
Sometimes the white Of the egg is ting
ed pink after very long keeping In wa
ter glass. This Is due, probably, to a
little iron which is in the sodium sill
cate, but which apparently does not in
jure the egg for food purposes.
