PRESERVE eggs
FOR WINTER USE
Interesting Experiments at the College
Of Agriculture Show What Pre-
servatives Are Best.
BY s. K. Stout, Assistant Poultry Hus-
bandman. Arkansas Experiment Sta
ton. University of Arkansas.

During the fall and early winter
eggs are very scarce and high-priced.
Therefore. we should preserve for win.
ter use in the best possible way all
eggs not used fresh in summer. There
are a number of methods employed for
preserving eggs, some OF which are
water glass. lime water. salt, vaselins
and patent preservatives.
Last June an experiment was started
at the Arkansas Experiment Station to
ascertain the efficiency OF different
egg preservatives that were available
at that time. Seven different preserv-
atives were used, namely: Water glass.
lime water, salt, vaseline, Yankee. E.
e.. and Flemings' egg preservatives.
The water glass was prepared by
boiling nine quarts of clean water and
then. after it had been allowed to cool,
one quart of water glass was added.
The solution was well mixed and set
aside for short time. The solution
was poured from one vessel to another
until the solution was well mixed and
cold. The eggs were placed in the
water glass the same day they were
laid and stored in basement room.
The lime water was prepared in
much the same way as was the water
glass. The eggs were placed in a sat
urated solution which was made by
shaking a small amount of quick lime
in a small quantity OF water. The
milk of lime obtained was added to
five gallons of clean, fresh water. This
solution was well mixed and allowed
to settle. The liquid was then drawn
off. and when it became cool was
poured into earthen crooks. The eggs
were placed in tie solution as soon aa
they were gathered.
The eggs placed in the salt were
packed in common salt. small end
down. Those preserved in the patent
preseryatives were preserved accord.
ing to the directions which accom-
panied the preservative. The vasefine
was applied in much the same way as
""o tiiV patent PtCSOA ~otAvCos w PAot-
ing a small amount of yaseline in the
palms of the hands and rubbing each
egg well. making sure the entire sur
face was covered. The eggs were all
placed in egg cartons and stored in the
same room with the water glass and
lime water and salt.
After six months the eggs were
tested by the Home Economics De.
partment for their cooking qualities,
with the following results:
Eggs preserved in water glass were
found to resemble fresh eggs more
nearly than did any of the others.
They were suitable for cooking, max
ing custards and cakes. However
they were not good poached Those in
the lime water were next in quality
None of the others were as satisfac.
tory as the water glass and lime water,
There was no difference in the keep
ing qualities of fertile and infertile
eggs, nor in the color OF the she'll.
However. this holds good only when
eggs are preserved the same day they
are laid; otherwise, infertile eggs are
more suitable for preserving.

OVERTIME TILTS THIS YEAR
Daylight Saving Law Mainly RESPONSE
BILE for Two 19-Inning Games
Played So Far.

Perhaps before the present season
ends all records in the major league
for lengthy games will be broken. Al
ready there have been two 19-inning
draws.
The law which saves an hour Of day
light is mainly responsible, for it per-
mits a game to go along until decided.
The Phils and Cardinals started their
19-inning game at $3.50 o'clock and
played until eight o'clock.
This would have been totally impos-
sible in previous years. Chief Umpire
Quigley called the game on account
of darkness at the end of the nine
teenth inning. 1t is rather question
able whether he was justified in call
ing the game off. The teams could
have battled one or two innings longer
and decision might have been
reached, making 1t unnecessary to re-
play the game. AS it is the four hours
and thirty minutes of desperate play
went for naught.

The second base job on the New

rough luck in one form or another
mas stood in the path of four players
VINO have held down the keystone po-
SIMON for McGraw during the past
TWO years. If the job isn't hoodooed,
what is it?
Buck Herzog has tried holding down
the position for McGraw several times.
AND Buck and that said job did not
get along. Early last season, after
ne had been brought back to the
Giants for the third time, Buck slipped
on the floor of the Pennsylvania sta
tlon while en- route to Philadelphia
with the team and received severe in
Juries. His condition has never been
the same since that accident, and yet
1t wasn't that alone which caused Nc
Graw to dispose of him, for, in addi-
ton. he failed to get along with the
Giant leader.
Next in line came Larry Doyle,
brought back to the New York club
via Chicago and Boston Larry went
great guns for several weeks after the
season opened. He led the league in
batting and he was going like a ma
chine in the field. Suddenly he was
taken i'll and had to undergo an oper-
alton.
With Doyle out of it, McGraw pur-
chased Bert Niehoff from the St. Louis
Cardinals, and just as the team was
getting ready to leave Philadelphia to
return to the Polo grounds after a
long and disheartening trip in the
western half of the circuit Niehofr
broke his leg.
Joe Rodriguez, the Cuban infielder,
has played the keystone sack on and
off for the Giants all season, but Joe
doesn't have the best of luck in the
job, for though he works harder to
make good than any other man who
ever held the sack down he can't make
himself fit into the combination.
The members of the Giants them
selves are beginning to think that the
second basing job is jinxed to a fare
you-well and no one can blame them.

Discovery of Neptune.

New stars and planets are not al
ways discovered by chance. The
greatest and best-known feat of as
tronomy was the discovery of the
planet Neptune. Prior to 1916 astron-
omers were puzzled by the strange be-
havior Of Uranus. whose motions
showed certain phases which could not
be explained by the knowledge then
possessed. 1t was assumed that some
unknown factor was affecting the mo-
ton of Uranus, the attraction of some
undiscovered planet. Calculations were
made and telescope directed to that
quarter of the heavens in France, dis
covered that the computations made In
Britain were exactly correct.

Bees Kill Elderly Man.

Ten minutes after he had been stung
on both wrists by bees, Clark L. Hume,
sixty-six years old, resident of Santa
Ana, CAL, died.
The bees stings acted as a violent
poison, physicians stated, probably be-
cause of Hume's unusual physical con-
dition. Hume was stung by the bees
when he attempted to destroy a hive
close to his home.
Physicians, when told of the peculiar
case. stated that there was a prob
ability that the poison injected by the
bees struck an artery and was immedi-
ately conveyed to the heart, causing
the death. 1t was also said that the
bees stings may have acted as vio-
lent poison because of an unusual
physical condition.
The physicians said that so sudden
death from bees stings was very un-
usual.
