The best containers for water glass
eggs are tubs, barrels or eartbenware
crooks. The size to use depends on the
number Of eggs to be preserved. A six-
gallon earthenware crock with tight
fitting cover will hold fifteen dozen eggs.
All containers before using should DO
thoroughly cleaned with boiling water.
They should be provided with tight at.
ting covers to prevent the evaporation OF
the solution. Never use metal contain
ers "a the solution will corrode them.
THE METHOD
Nix IL quarts of commercial water
glass solution with 10 quarts Of pure
water which has been thoroughly boiled
and then cooled. Stir the solution until
thoroughly mixed. This mixture 10
enough for 80 dozen eggs. Pour the
solution into the crock, until crock is
about one-half full. Az the eggs are
gathered place them In the crock, large
end up. At all times there should be at
least two inches of the solution covering
the top layer OF eggs. To stop evspora-
ton, keep the crock covered with tight
fitting cover. The contsiner should be
placed on shelf In . cool, well-venti-
lated place, preferably In cellar, where
the temperature IL fairly constant, rang.

Preservation of Eggs In Water Glass,
John 8. Carver. Poultry Extension Instructor,
Next winter eggs will be scarce and
duo to the increased cost of production
and the depletion Of our poultry focks,
the price is bound to reach an even high.
or mark than last year. 10 the spring OF
the year during April, May and June,
eggs are plentiful, and the retail price
reaches lie lowest level. The housewife
should take advantage of this low priced
spring market, and plan to preserve
enough eggs to carry her through the
winter months, when the price Of fresh
eggs 10 often prohibitive. A family of
two will need to preserve at least 80
dozen eggs for winter use. The cheap
est, simplest, and most satisfactory
method Of preserving eggs at homo Is
by the use of water glass solution.
WATER GLASS SOLUTION
Commercial water glass solution (solu-
bic sodium ell CO -e) can be obtained
from most any drug store, and should be
OF full strength. Eggs preserved 10
water glass solution can be successfully
kept for over nine months and may be
used for any purpose. II, however, the
eggs are boiled, Il will be necessary to
ppnoture the air cell end (the big epd)
to allow for the escape Of the expanded
air; otherwise the eggs ere likely to
crack. Eggs that have been in tho water
glass solution should be rinsed before
using.
Fees TO USE
Rggs should be put down In tbe months
OF April, May and June, when their
quality ID the highest and their price the
lowest. Use only strictly fresh, infertile
eggs. Do not preserve dirty eggs, nor
eggs that have been washed. Dirty eggs
will become tainted 10 favor and washed
eggs may not keep. Washlng 10 likely
to remove the protective covering with
out which the eggs will not keep success-
folly. Use only thick shelled eggs.
Eggs with thin or cracked shell may
spoil the whole crock OF eggs. Any egg
that floats 10 wafer glass should b dis
carded.

The camnapn. which the advocates OF oaIe owns
ship of the water powers OF Maine nave s'A- 49,
T r1pcT That the water powers were IN some
wav the natural heritage and properly
of the people
cEroND That private companies have failed IN
undertaking to furnish light and power
to the public
THIRD That need for the use of coal tor power
and heating purposes would Pracucaiy
be- eliminated
ro11pTH That the farmers of the State would be
able to have their houses lgnted anu
have power for domestic and 1arm
uses
FIFTH That manufacturing industries would
multiply to the advantage OF the State.
cIxTH That all these very desirable results
would be obtained terms advan-
taqeous to the public and at the same
time profitable to the State.
SEVENTH, That it is charged by the advocates OF
State ownership that the owners OF the
undeveloped water powers are trust'
sel6shly retarding development.
The purpose of this article and of those which follow
is to show that the claims OF these adv0caIes oi ia
ownership are misleading and if not wlfuly deceptive
are creating an impression which is false and therefore
dangerous that these claims are based either upon IN
sufficient knowledge of the facts regardless OF the facts
1t is proposed to show:
FIRST That the present owners of the watre
powers of the State have acquired them
bv legitimate purchase; that many OF
these powers were never owned by the
State: that those which at one time
were owned by the State and Sold by it,
have in many instances been resod sew
eral times until acquired by the present
owners.
SECOND, That instead of retardng development
the owners of the water powers OF
Maine have advanced development
along the most progressive lines; that
by means of storage reservoirs the con-
slant power and the percentage of de-
velopment of several of the important
rivers of the State superior to any
in the Country.
THIRD, That already there is electric power
available for new industries and that
II the large Power Companies of the State
can and will supply any self supporting
demand for power
FOURTH, That if all the undeveloped water pow
ers in the State were developed and
used exclusively to heat dwellings, the
/ powersswould he insufficient to heat one
fourth of the dwellings in the State.
FIFTH, That were it possible to heat our dwell
ings by electric current, the cost to the
consumer would be prohibtive.
SIXTH That if electric current was distributed
generally throughout the farming dis
tricts, that the cost to the State would
be prohbitive
SEVENTH, That the people of the State will do well
Il to investigate the cost of development
and the opportunity to dispose OF the
product of development before commit
Il ting the State to policy fraught with
many uncertainties.

MIR. REEVE SAYS IRISH
POTATOES KEEP WELL HERE
Cottage Hill. Fla. June %

Cottage Hill Fla. June %.
Editor The Pensacola Journal:
Your today's comment and TT. An
drews' letter on Irish potatoes may not
be entirely justified.
AS for the utmost limit of our home
product being consumed here, the JUS
tice of the suggestion is broad, deep
and sky-high. Transportation would be
conserved. and our growers partly re-
compensed for the increased labor cost
caused by the government works.
However, our government did the
fair thing before planting season, in
warning the farmers to go light on
spring potatoes, giving ample reasons.
Evidently each grower thought that
every other one would heed the adj
vice, thus leaving the way open for
profit on his own bumper crop. on
that score the southern growers really
have none to blame except themselves.
But the important point is the dupli-
cate assertion that the Irish potato will
not keep in this climate.
These figures may set some growers
to thinking, and possibly lead to de-
velopments of far more Importance
than the present potato crop.
On March 1, 1917, 1 planted here a
small plat of Irish potatoes. On June
10 they were dug. We used from them
all summer, fall and winter planting
no fall CROP, and on February -, 1918,
planted seed from them: dug same
May 20, and now have them stored.
Expect to plant light fall crop, AN
regardless of its success, have potatoes
TO run US to next springs crop, in
GLIDING seed for spring planting. The
same bins where | cured and kept last
falls sweets, are caring for these
With no treatment other than air cir
culation, even digging scars are heal
ing and the total loss seemingly will
not reach 1 per cent. Anyone can see
and learn in two minutes all that l
know about it. 1t suits me. I won't
have to buy potatoes, and have none
to sell at present prices. Repeating a
former remark: It's just to join bands
with nature. and I don't see why it
won't do as we'll with a thousand
bushels as with ten.

VOX POPULI
BOYS PICKED UP ON
STREET FAR FROM LOAFERS

Editor The Pensacola Journal:
The article in "Wednesday mornings
Journal, headed, Three Boys Found
Late on the Streets" does the boys an
injustice, as it tells they We're on the
streets, but does not tell how they
came to be on the streets at that time
of night. My boy and the two Penn
boys had permission to go to the
moving pictures. The Penn boys
work and it was at least 8 80
before they got off. The boys are not
street loafers and not in the habit OF
doging the law, and never thought OF
the Curfew law, and l am sure l didn't
think of it. Neither Mrs. Penn or
have any fault to find with the officers :;
they did their duty and were gentlemen
about it, but this paper news would
lead the public to believe, if they
wanted to, they were boys of that
kind.
If all mothers will watch and guard
their boys as these are. we will soon
not need a probation officer
