NOW is THE TIME
TO PRESERVE EGGS

Ii is estimated that the present is
a good time TO buy eggs for home pres
ervation in waterglass according to
A. l. Smith, Extension Poultry Spec
ialist of the University of Vermont
and State Agricultural College Mar
kets are. more or less uncertain, but
from reports at hand this is very
reasonable time.
An increase in the number of eggs
preserved by each family is earnestly
urged, because il helps to lower the
high cost Of living and to increase the
profit of the poultrymen by increasing
consumption. 1t has long been'a bal
ance wheel on the price of eggs. This
home preservation follows along the
same lines; it simply increases the
market Of eggs in the spring when
production is small. BY doing this,in
your own home, you receive benefits
of this direct economy at small ex-
pense. On the other hand, if you wait
until autumn to buy eggs, you are
liable to buy a cold storage product
at an increased price. Home preser-
walton. of eggs assures a better pro-
duct at a lower cost.

below the average.
All together. the domestic sugar
crop is usually about one-quarter Of
the domestic consumption, the receipts
from American possessions about one
quarter, and the imports from foreign
countries about one-half. Bcet-sugar
production in the United States has
gained rapidly on cane sugar during
the last 20 years, and permanently cx-
ceeded II in 1906-7, so that IL has been
about two and three-quarters times
the canc-sugar crop during the last
six years,
To the sugar production may be
added that of syrup and honey. II is
estimated that the sugar equivalent
of the cane syrup of last year is l74,-
100000 pounds, and the sorghum
syrup 100000, 900 pounds, while honey
amounted to 54.Si5,000 pounds tcar-

SUGAR CROP ABOVE AVERAGE

In the sugar campaigns recently
ended the United States has produced
an amount Of sugar that is estimated
by the United States Department of
Agriculture's Bureau Of Crop Estim-
ates TO be over 2,l40, ,000, 900 pounds,
and this quantity is 25,0O0,0 900 pounds
above the average Of the last six
years, beginning with the year before
the war began. Having two principal
sources of domestic sugar production,
beet and cane, the variations Of one
crop often fit into those Of the other
so as to give some degree Of steadi-
ness TO the total Of the two. To some
extent this happened last year, since
the cane-sugar crop was 569, ,000, 900
pounds, or 60,000,0o0 pounds above
the six-year average, and the beet
sugar crop 1,53o.O00,ooo pounds, or
30, ,0O0, 900 under the average, while

ing the sugar equivalent Of syrup,

ERADICATION OF POULTRY LICE

Examinations Of many poultry
focks in different parts Of Vermont
have shown fowls 10 be infested with
four different species Of lice. The
most common one, az well as the most
harmful, is known as the common
body louge; it Is found running on the
skin near the vent and never upon the
feathers. II lays it's eggs in masses
on the base Of the feathers near
vent.
The head louse is found in some
focks, and it is this louise that gives
much trouble to chicks hatched under
hens.
The other two species are not as
common or as harmful as the body
louise and the head louse. All Of these
different lice can be completely eradi-
Gated b. one thorough application Of
Sodium Fluoride. This white powder
stays In the feathers long enough TO
kill all the lice which hatch after the
treatment.

Farmers' Bulletin No. 801, dealing

or from the Extension Service Of the

ing for the season at the home Of Mrs.
William B. Swan, last Thursday with

burn, President, presiding. She spoke
feelingly of the loss sustained by the AL
lance since its last meeting in the spring,
in the death of two much-loved mem
bers. Miss Caroline E. White and Mrs.
Wilmer j. Dorman. The speaker of the
afternoon was Rev. A. f. Wilson, who
spoke on "Birds and Poetry" Mr.. Will
son called attention to the increased en-
joyment and understanding of a great
deal of poetry through a knowledge of
birds, showing how often there were all
lusioDs to birds even in poetry not devot-
ed to that subject. Then referring to the
large number of actual bird poems in ex-
istence, he read to his hearers the whole
or parts of 27 poems from American
authors and one from the Canadian poet,
VIM. Fl. Drummond. His comments on
bird life and his whistling limitations of
the songs of many of the birds, made the
poems more understandable and added

WAR HISTORY FOR
MISSOURIANS
A Record to be Made of Part Sol
diers Had in Conflict.

Columbia, Mo-, Jan. 4.-Thc war
historical commission of Missouri
appointed by the state council of de.
Tense, made plans here this afternoon
for the compilation of record of the
part Missourians took in the war
Each county school superintendent
will become a member OF the com
mission and the work OF collecting
the material in each county will be
inrrusttd tn hmm. The county will
be worked by school districts. and
the material collected through the
schools in each district. In this way
it is hoped that every person in the
state who had a part in the war will
be reached. A similar plan will be
formed whereby the people living in
the larger cities will be reached.
The files. when completed, will nor
only contain history of the part the
men took on the field of battle. but
also include the part taken by Liber-
ty Loan. Red Cross and other war
workers.
A request will be. made of the Mis-
s .,uri Council of Defense to provide
funds for the work to be carried on
until May II. A budget will also be
gotten UP by. the committee and a
sum asked of the Missouri Legis!a-
ture to provide for the work during
the remainder of 1919 and 1920.

WHY HUNS QUIT so QUICKLY
Big Allied Offensive Was About to
Be Launched in Lorraine.

Paris, Jan. 4,--Gcrmany hurried to
request the arinisticc when she saw
that a new Allied offensive was to be
launched on the Lorraine front
November II by six hundred thous-
and men under command of General
DeCastelanu, says the Excelsior.
American and French \ troops, it
says, were concentrated on the front
between Briey and Chateau Salins
They were supported by three thous-
and guns of ali calibers and had
three thousand tanks available on a
front of about iorty-five miles. Duke
Albrecht OF Wurttemburg, the Ger
man commander on this front, had
available only twenty-five divisions
of inferior fighting quality. These
divisions contained approximately
100000 men. He had only, one thou
sand guns. .t
This Allied attack, the Excelsior
continues, would have carried the
war into annexed Lorraine and into
Rhenish Prussia, threatening to cut
off the German Army in Belgium
and in the Ardenncs from its bases.
German general headquarters, re-
alizing that the divisions on other
sectors were incxtricable and that it's
forces were demoralized and worn
out, averted catastrophe by agree
ing to the armistice conditions.
