"CANNING" EGGS

Many people use fresh eggs for bak-
ing. The preserved eggs are just as
good. In fact, preserved eggs are so
nearly like the fresh eggs that it is
hard to distinuish them after they have
been cooked. The following methods
of preserving eggs is recommended:
Eggs may be preserved by storing
them in a solution Of nine quarts of
water to one of commercial water, or
by by immersing them in solution Of
one poun of air-slaked lime to five
gallons of water. They may be stored
in these solutions in tin candy pals,
labeled, and put with other foods with
cut further attention. They may be re-
moved from the solution as they are
needed, and fresh eggs may be added
at any time.

SOW MORE RYE

In an Interview in regard to rye,
Director Cooper of the North Dakota
Agricultural Experiment station states
that it has proved to be profitable
and dependable crop to grow and that
the acreage could profitably be increas-
ed from a million to million and
quarter acres in North Dakota. In adj
dition to producing crop of grain it
may produce fall pasture if sown
early. This also gives it the best
chance of making good crop the next
year provided it does not get big
enough to form joints in the fall even
if it is not pastured. In most of the
state the rainfall has not been heavy
soil is in fine condition for sowing the
rye in the stubble. This can be done
enough to pack the blowing so that the

Sulphur Springs Near MinOt

Ed Kelley, who has lived in Minot
for more than thirty years, says there
is fine sulphur spring, not far from
the Great Northern bridge west of
Minot, which no doubt has medicinal
properties and if properly commercial

as some of the crack sulphur springs
in other parts Of the land. Mr.. Kel-

many years but little attention has
been paid to them.

inspiration to the knitters of Cavalier
county. Wherever the Mahon car
stopped, whether on the street of
town or out at the threshing machine,
the old gentleman could be seen kit
ting. He learned the art when a
small boy and never forgot although
he spent 81 years at the blacksmith
ing and carriage making business.
The result of his labors while here
are three scarfs, one and half yards
long; two helmet skirts and pair
of wristlets. He got great enjoy.
ment out of the thought that he was
able at SO years of age to do some.
thing for his country. Three of his
seven sons are doctors and he has
every care, but little work for
others makes him happier. x

LANGDON PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Will. Open OCTOBER IST|

One raore week ends the summer
vacation OF the Langdon pubic
schools, the fall and winter term of
the school year 1918 beginning on
Monday, October lst. During the
intervening few days that remain the
needed preparations should be made
in the home by the parents of chill
dren so that all may start with the
first day of school and get the full
benefit of the term. For a large
proportion of the children the com.
mon school course completes their ed
ucation, hence they needed every op-
portunity that can be afforded them
Of thorough grounding in the stud
les Of the higher grades.
Where older boys have gone to the
army. or have to help with the fall
work on the farm, there will be few
er pupils in the school and less edu.
cation for those who will direct the
affairs of the country in future years.
Parents should make sacrifices If
necessary in order to give their chill
dren this advantage in,laIter life.
Every boy or girl who can attend
college should do so. At the least all
should avail themselves of a high
school course now to be had in all
our smaller towns over this state.
This will provide practical training
sufficient to enable the graduate to
fill an ordinary position, understand
business conditions and advance much
more rapidly for himself in his chos-
en- line of ]ife's work. A few years
spent in school work now will bring
thousands Of dollars in later life
through the training thus secured.
Parents make a sacrifice if need be
to give your boy and girl another
years work in the school room.
