Clean and Store Incubators.

After the Matching season is over.
clean and disinfeet the incubator.
Empty the lamps and carefully store
the parts inside the machine. Lamps
containing oil which are allowed TO
remain in place, on the incubator for
some time after the Matching season
may cause trouble when the machine
is started again as the oil tends to
work up into the hood. The incubator
should be disinfected once year or
oftener if any disease is present in the
hens or chickens. Some operators
prefer to disinfeet their incubators
before or after each hatch. A strong
solution of q reliable coal-tar disinfec-
tant may be used to wash out the
machine and to disinfect the egg trays
and, nursery drawer.
If the burlap on the bottom of the
incubator is very dirty it may be
cheaper to renew than to clean it.
With an incubator of about cubic
feet capacity one may disinfect by
pouring one-half ounce of formalin,
which contains 40 per cent Tornado
hyde, on one-half ounce of perman-
ganate of potash in a pan in the in
cubator. This produces very pene-
trating gas and thoroughly disinfects
the machine. The door of the incu-
bator should be closed just as soon
as the liquid is poured into the pan
and left closed for y hours or longer.
Incubators should be well aired be-
fore fhpy ara IlSad after diSiufpafiup
especially when formaldehyde or any
disinfectant which produces a gas has
been used.

Protect Chicks From Lice.

Dust the hen with good insect
powder before moving her and the
chickens to the brood coop. The hen
should be busted every two weeks or
as often as necessary until the chick
ems are weaned. # lice. become numer-
Gus on chickens or If they are trou-
bled with 'head Ices very little
grease such as lard or vaseline may
be applied with the fingers. on, the
head, neck, under the wings and
around the vent. Great care should be
taken, however, not TO get foo much
grease on the chickens as it will stop
their growth and in some cases may
prove fatal. Sodium fiuorid, a white
powder, is an excellent remedy for all
lice of chickens, entomologists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture have discovered. In Farmers
Bulletin sol, mites and Lice on Poul-
try, the specialists described the use
of this new remedy for old and young
chickens.

eggs PRESERVED
FOR winter Use
Either Water-GlasS or LineWa-
ter May Be Used by Any
Housewife.
TWO PLANS ARE DESCRIBED
Use Only Firm-Sheied, Fresh, Clean,
and if Possible, Infertile Eggs-
Cost Is Estimated at TWO
Gents Per Dozen.

While high prices for eggs last
winter are1still fresh In your mind it
is well to make a resolve to preserve
eggs this spring when they are plenti
full for the season of scarcity which
comes in the fall and winter. Putting
up eggs in a water-glass solution or
lmewater IS. not an experimental en-
terprise. Thousands of women pre-
serve eggs by these methods in the
spring, AMI early summer and keep
them for winter use. Fresh eggs
properly preserved will keep for eight
to twelve months in excellent condi-
ton and may be used with good re-
suits.
If satisfactory results are to be OBJ
tanned the eggs should be fresh and
clean, firm-shelled and, if possible, in
fertile. Eggs laid during April, May
and enrly June have been found to
keep better than those laid later in the
season. Eggs that float wher placed
in the solution are not fresh and
therefore, cannot be preserved. When
an egg is only slightly soiled cloth
dampened with vinegar can be used
to remove such stains. Under no cir
cumstances should badly soiled eggs
be used for preserving. If put into the
Jar while dirty they will spoil, and
washing removes a protective coating
which prevents spelling.
Cost of Preserving.
BY the water-glass or sodium sill
cate method eggs may be preserved at
a cost of about two cents dozen if
the price Of sodium silicate is 30 cents
quart. It is not desirable to use the
water glass solution a second time.
Here is the water-glass method as
described by specialists of the United
State department of agriculture:
Use 1 quart of sodium silicate to
quarts of water that has been boiled
and cooled. Place the mixture in o
5-gallon crock or Jar. This will be
sufficient to preserve 10 dozen eggs
and will serve as a guide for the guam
tity needed to preserve larger NUM-
bers of eggs.
Select a ive-gallon crock and clean
it thoroughly, after which it should be
scalded and allowed TO dry. Heat 2
quantity of water to the boiling point
and allow it to cool. When cool. meas
ure out 8 quarts of water. place ii
In the crock and add l quart of So
dunn silicate, stirring the mixture
thoroughly. The eggs should be placed
In the solution. If sufficient eggs are
not obtainable when the solution is
first made, additional eggs may be
| added from time to time. Be very
careful to allow at least two inches o.
the solution to cover the eggs at al
times. Place the crock containing the
| preserved eggs in a cool, dry place
well covered to prevent evaporation
Waxed paper covered over and tiet
around the top of the crock will an
swer this purpose.
| Limewater May Be Used.
When water-glass cannot be OBJ
tanned, limewater may be used in 1T
stead. Dissolve 2 or 8 pounds o
unslaked lime In 5 gallons OF wate
that has previously been boiled ant
allowed to cool, and allow the mix
ture to stand until the lime settle
and the liquid is clear. Place clean
fresh eggs in clean .earthenware jul

into the vessel until the eggs are COW
cred. At least 2 inches of the solu-
ton 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 with
out the salt is more satisfactory.
Fresh, clean eggs, properly pre-
served, can be used satisfactorily
for all purposes in cooking and for the
table. When eggs are preserved In
