SOLDIERS "AD0PTED" BY PIG
Odd Mascot That History Records az
Attaching Itself to Company OF
Kentucky Volunteers.

There Is in the history of the state
of Kentucky an odd incident in con-
nection with the invasion of Canada
by the Kentucky troops in 1912. A
company of volunteers, destined for
Selby's army, assembled at Harrods-
burg and formed a nucleus around
which the military recruits Of the
country gathered on the march to the
Ohio.
On the outskirts Of the town named,
SO the story runs, the company saw
two pigs fighting and delayed the
march to watch the combat. When the
march recommended it vas observed
that the victorious pig was follow
Ing the company; and when the men
encamped at night, the animal lay
down near at hand. OF course the SOL
diers fed their plump recruit. The next
day the pig followed them, and this 1t
did daily on the march to the river.

Materials for Preserving Eggs in Water Glass.

such a soil will have to be purchased.
A heavy clay or adobe soil is not as
well adapted to poultry raising, as
such land does not drain readily and
it is much more difficult to keep the
stock healthy.
Long stationary houses, or the in
tensive system, saves steps, but it is
easier to keep the birds healthy and
to reproduce the stock under the col
ony system where the birds are allow
ed free range. Breeding stock, and
especially growing chickens, should
have IN abundance of range, while
hens used solely for the production of
market eggs may be kept on a very
small area with good results.
The colony house system necessi-
tates placing the houses. holding about
100 hens, from 200 to $50 feet apart,
so that the stock will not kill the
grass. The colony system may be
adapted to severe winter conditions
by drawing the colony houses together
in a convenient place at the beginning
of the winter, thus reducing the labor
during these months.

Essentials In Poultry.

Prime essentials in poultry houses
are fresh air, dryness, sunlight, and
space enough to keep the birds COM
Portable.
No particular style of house is
peculiarly adapted to any section of
this country. A house which gives
satisfaction In Maine will also give
good results in Texas or California,
but 1t is preferable to build more open
and consequently less expensive
houses in the South than in the North.
The best site depends principally on
local conditions. The location should
have good water and air drainage, so
that the floor and yards will be dry,
while the house should not occupy a
low pocket or hollow in which cold air
settles.
Wherever possible a southern or
southeastern exposure should be Sc
1ected, although this is not essential If
there is any good reason for facing
the house in a different direction.
Poultry can be raised successfully
on any well-drained soil. A light loan,
which will grow good grass, is well
adapted for this purpose; while a very
light, sandy soil, through which the
water teaches freely, will stand more

PRESERVED eggs
FOR WINTER Use
Particular Care Must Be Taken
That Those Put Away Are
Strictly Fresh.
Two METHODS ARE OUTLINED
One Quart of silicate and Nine Quarts
of Water Will Take Care of Fiji
teen Dozen-UnsIaked Lime
Also Is Favored.

Eggs preserved when they are
abundant and cheap mean a supply
next winter when they may reach ex-
tremely high prices.
Late summer is not too early to pre-
serve eggs, but care must be taken
that they are strictly fresh.
Two methods of preserving eggs are
recommended by specialists of the U.
S. department of agriculture they fol-
low:
Water Glass Method.
Use one quart of sodium silicate to
nine quarts of water that mas been
boiled and cooled. Place the mixture
in a %five-gallon crock or jar. This will
be sufficient to preserve 10 dozen eggs;
and the quantity needed to preserve a
larger number of eggs will be in pro-
portion.
First, select n five-gallon crock and
clean it thoroughly, after which 1t
should be scalded and allowed to dry.
Second, heat a quantity of water to
the boiling point and allow it to cool.
Third, when cool, measure out nine
quarts of water, place it in the crock,
and add one quart of sodium s%ilicate,
stirring the mixture thoroughly.
Fourth, place the eggs In the solu-
ton. Be very careful to allow at least
two inches of the solution to cover the
eggs.
Fifth, place the crock containing the
preserved eggs in a cool, dry place.
we'll covered to prevent evaporation.
Waxed paper covered over and tied
around the top of the crock will an
swer this purpose.
Lime Method.
When water glass cannot be obtain
ed, the following method may be used
in its stead. Many consider this meth
cd entirely satisfactory, though in
stances are known in which eggs so
preserved have tasted slightly of lime.
Dissolve two or three pounds of I'M
slaked lime in five gallons of water
that has previously been boiled and
allowed to cool, and allow the mixture
to stand until the lime settles and the
liquid is clear. Place clean, fresh eggs
in a clean earthenware jug or keg and
pour the clear lime water into the yes
sci until the eggs are covered. At least
two inches of the solution should cover
the top layer of eggs.
Sometimes a pound of salt is used
with the lime. but experience has
shown that in general the lime without
the salt is more satisfactory.

MORE CHICKENS AND EGGS.

More chickens and more eggs
will release more meat for our
armies and the allies. They
cannot get our chickens and
eggs-we can, and like to eat
them.
Poultry can be increased more
rapidly and more economically
than any of the meat animals.
Chickens will live largely and
grow and prosper IN waste that
never otherwise would be of
use, and will eat the infant
bugs, particularly orchard pests,
before they have had opportu-
nifty to do great harm.
Chickens require a minimum
of attention. Most of it a be

Good Teeth Are a Big
Help in 'GettingAhead'

A person With a good, eUen set of
WeH-kept Unite teeth certainly
makes a much better impression
than one Whose teeth are uneven,
discoiored or decayed.
Personal appearance is a big fac
tor in success these days. That
doesn't mean that a person must be
oUer-dressed or foppish, quite the
contrary, in fact. But the employer
is quick to recognize the fact that
one Who does not think anything of
his oWn personal appearance is not
likely to haUe much ambition to
progress in a business Wdy.
While the person who presents a good
'front.' when he smiles and shows a fine set
OF well-kept teeth has got a big handicap
on the other fellow right from the start.
And, of course, this factor of personal APP
pearance does not include the other equally
important one Of the effect on the health.
II is so well recognized that teeth have a
great influence on the general health that we

morrow.
The probe of the league records is

in the bankruptcy court over a year

Object TO Publicity.
Strenuous objection to publicity in
connection with his financial affairs
has been made by Mr.. TownIey's
counsel in the federal court, they in
sisting that the case is being used
for political purposes.
Mr.. Townley's personal objection
to publicity. it is held likely, has
been responsible for the fact that
his own newspaper has been silent
on the case, though it has been under
way in Fargo for three days.
