Preserve Eggs for Winter Use.

All predictions indicate that eggs will reach an uncommonly high price this winter. Furthermore they will be scarce, as cold storage holding, are re- ported to be smaller at tbis season of the year than for mary years. It therefore behooves us not only to in- crease production, but also to preserve for winter use in the best possible way all eggs not used fresh.
 There are a number of methods en- ployed. The most common of course is cold storage but that is out of reach for the average house keeper. Of those methods available water glass, lime water, salt and vaselne are the most common. Salt has not proven satisfactory as the eggs evaporate where packed in salt and loose quality and if put up in brine their palatability is affected. Eggs covered with q film of vaseline keep only for a short time. Water glass and lime water are the most satisfactory.
 Water glass has been used for good many years with excellent results. The cost is little highers than lime water but most people who have tried both prefer water glass. Water glass can be bought at the drug store for about one dollar gallon. To prepare water glass take nine quarts of clean water, boil it, and aI.uw it to cool. Stir in one quart of water glass and let it set for d short time. Stir thoroughly again and if cold is ready for use. The ten quarts of solution should cover 15 to 20 dozen of eggs depending on the way the eggs are packed. If packed on the small ends, more eggs can be packed into a vessel. The eggs should be covered by at least an inch of the solution. Stand the vessel in cool well ventl- ated place. The solution can be mixed and the eggs placed in daily as they are gathered. It is well to cover the vessel to prevent evaporation. Never use the same solution twice.
 The method of preserving eggs in lime water is very similar to the water glass method. The solution into which the eggs are placed is a saturated solution of lime water. This can be very cheaply and easily made. Take one pound of newly burned quick lime and slack it in a small quantity of water
 Add this milk of lime into about five gallons of clean fresh water. Stir well and allow to settle. The liquid is then drawn off and when cold poured over the eggs. Lime water weakens when exposed to air, so that it is best to seal the vessels or else replace the liquid with new liquid occasionally. Results with lime water have been about as satisfactory as with water glass and much cheaper
 In Memory of Little Raymond Bailey
 After an illness of several days, lit tie Raymond, the six months old babe of Sebe Bailey, departed this life on last Saturday morning, June 23rd, 1917 All that willing hands and loving hearts could do was done, but God has seen best to take him away.
 Funeral services were held Sunday evening at the M. E. church, being conducted by Rev. c. T. Edwards.
 The remains were laid to rest in the Glenwood cemetery.
 As the rude blasts of Autumn, when it
 sweeps OCT the plain,
 Nips the choicest, most beautiful flowers. So the angel of death, when he comes seems
 to claim,
 The most dearly loved ones of ours.
 He has paused at our threshold, yes, enter
 cd the door;
 He has taken our loved one away;
 But our loss is their gain. He rests on the
 shore
 That beams with eternity's day.'
 A Friend.
