they are filled with eggs.
Rules For Preserving Eggs
10 not buy eggs for preserving,
unless you understand how to select
those that are suitable for the pur-
pose. However, many persons obtain
eggs from neighbors or from reliable
poultrymen, and preserve these with
excellent results. The eggs should
De gathered twice daily to prevent
early development of the germ. Fer
tile eggs gathered twice daily will
keep as well as infertile eggs. Z
AS the eggs are gathered. place
each gently in the crock of preserva.
tive being filled, or add them every
night. Do not keep the eggs for sew.
eral days in order to put down
large number at one time. The
quicker each egg is immersed in the
preservative the better.
zap each egg with sound egg tc
detect If 1t is cracked. Do not pre-.
serve cracked egg, as the contents
Will leak out and ruin the solution.
The eggs should not be washed. Keeu
clean straw in the nests, and have
them protected from rains. Any or.
dinary soiling of the shell may be
be scraped, or the dirt should be re.
moved with moist cloth.
The preserving solution should
cover the top layer of eggs to the
depth of two inches. Examine the
crooks occasionally to see If more
solution is needed to keep the eggs
properly submerged. In that case
add boiled water that has become
cool.
The filed containers should be
stored in cool place. Good result.

containers in a vacant bedroom. Dc

quently when the room is warm, Sc
that the level of the solution can be
maintained.
Next winter a crock of eggs car
be placed in the pantry, and egg:
| taken from it as required. 1t will be
found that these preserved eggs have

the large end of eggs that are Il

of the contents will crack the sealed
shell.
The cost of the preservative is less
than two cents a dozen, while the
cost of the container should not bI
over three cents dozen eggs. These
are liberal estimates, and the con.
tainers should last indefinitely. Re.
call the selling prices of fresh eggi
for the past six months and you can
readily figure what you can save by
preserving surplus spring eggs.

EGGS WHILE
PLENTIFUL FOR NEXT WINTER

the year, has not been entirely sup
pressed.
Hens are laying freely at the pres
ent time and the price of fresh eggs
is below the average. Next winter the
majority of hens will again be nom
productive, and, if forecasts are of
value, the selling prices of fresh and
storage eggs will be higher than
ever. Individuals and companies are
buying up fresh eggs and placing
them in cold storage. Close to a
hundred million dollars worth of
eggs will be stored. and the better
grades of these eggs will later sup
ply tn enormous demand for table
and cooking eggs when the fresh
product is scarce.
1t is unnecessary for the owner of
flock of laying hens to suffer a
shortage of eggs next winter. 1t is
not only possible for every house
wife to keep a supply of preserved
eggs on hand. but, when the prices
of all foodstuffs, 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 under
stood and practiced in every house
hold.
Three Successful Personalities
Some years ago an experiment was
conducted to determine which OF
twenty methods of preserving eggs
was the most satisfactory. The eggs
were treated the day laid and kept
period of eight months. Three OF
the twenty methods gave perfect re-
suits:
% Eggs preserved in a solution
of waterglass (the technical name oil
waterglass is sodium slicate).
CD Eggs packed in a solution OF
limewater.
(3) Eggs coated with yaseline.
Numerous tests at experiment sta
tions, by housewives, and on a COM
mercial scale have demonstrated

Though one of the oldest known
varieties of domestic ducks the
Aylesbury is still the favorite breed
of England.
According to many writer's white
ducks have been known for centuries
and there seems to be no account of
the origin of the Aylesbury. 1t is the
leading market duck of England. In
America it has been supplanted by
the Pekin duck. English 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 Eng
lish market ducks on account of it's
rapid growth and early maturity.
Like the Pekin, Aylesbury ducklings
weighing from to e pounds can
be produced in from seven to nine
weeks. At this age and size they
bring best prices and some sections

of Great Britain are devoted entirely
to this duck rearing industry. Quick
ness of growth is an important fac
tor in respect to the profit gained,
as the young ducklings are heavy
feeders.
As layers Aylesburys are consid-
cred second to the Pekin, many fe-
males laying as many as $50 eggs
in a year. IT is important to the COM
mercial duck grower that these eggs
be laid at the right season and be
fertile. For this reason he matches
his breeding ducks early and mates
sufficient number of brakes with
his flock to insure fertility. Ayles-
bury breeding ducks require some
range and swimming water to OBJ
tain best results.
Mature Aylesbury brakes weigh Q
to 10 pounds, ducks to pounds,
and should have white plumage, pale
fiesh-colored bill, light yellow legs
and carry the body horizontally,

War Does Not Disturb
the Nations Business

New York, May s. - Dun's to-day
SAYS:
"A month of readjustment to new
conditions has brought little disturb
ance to business, and only in relative
ly few instances are signs of special
hesitation apparent. Lessening of or
dinary demands has continued in
some important branches, largely be-
cause of the extreme prices. and back
ward weather has retarded retail dis
tribution of seasonable merchandise in
most sections of the country. Yet the
growing crops reflect appreciable i'm
provement, with winter wheat prom
ising more abundant harvest than
recently seemed likely, and the bet
terment in the agricultural outlook
means much in year when big yields
are more than ever needed"

WILSON ENDORSES MOVEMENT
IN ADDRESS EMPHASIZING
NEED OF TEAM WORK.
EDUCATIONAL PATRIOTIC MOVE
New League Represents Church, Po-
iiticaI, Labor, Agricultural and In
dustriaI Organizations Which VIII
Work for Unity of Thought.

Washington.-An extensive move
ment to lead and express public opin-
ion on the war was inaugurated here
by formation of the League for Ma
tional Unity. representing church, po-
litical, labor, agricultural and indus
trial organizations, to which Presi-
dent Wilson gave his endorsement in
an address emphasizing the need for
team play by the forces of American
thought and opinion.
Welcoming the leaders Of the
movement at the white house in a
brief speech, the President expressed
the belief that American public opin-
ion, although understanding the wars
causes and principles, needs guidance
to remember that the war should end
only when Germany is beaten and
Germany's rule of autocracy and
might are superseded by the ideals of
democracy.
This is the issue, which the Ameri-
can people should always keep in
mind, the President said, in order to
avoid being misled into byways Of
thought and of the resultant scatter
ing of the force of public opinion.
Talk of early peace before Germany
is defeated is one of the evidences of
misdirected thought, he suggested,
and should not cloud the vision Of
those who understand that the United
States is fighting now for the same
ideals of democracy and freedom that
have always actuated the nation.
President Gives Warning.
The President gave warning that 1t
should not be forgotten that German
success would mean not only proven
ton of the spread of democracy. but
possibly the suppression of that al.
ready existing.
The league, which will have head
quarters in New York, chose as hon
orary chairmen Cardinal Gibbons and
DR.. Frank Mason North, president Of
the federal council of churches. The
odore N. Vail, president of the Ameri-
can Telephone & Telegraph Co., is
active chairman, with Samuel Com
pefs, president OF the American red
GRAFTON of Labor; Charles Barrett,
president of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union, and George
Pope, president of the National Assoc
citation of Manufacturers. as vice
chairman. The object was stated as
follows:
"To create a medium through
which the loyal Americans of all
classes, sections, creeds and parties
can give expression to the fundamen-
tai purpose of the United States to
carry on to a successful conclusion
this new war for the independence Of
America and the preservation of DEM
ocratic institutions and the vindica-
ton of the basic principles of hui
mainly"
