The Automobile and the Farms.

If the automobile was at first the
toy of the city man and later his util-
ity, it is now rapidly becoming an es-
sential for the farm, and the day
seems not far distant when, with
good roads, the automobile will be
found upon every farm, and the far
mer without car will be as rare as
was the one of a few years ago with
out horse.
Statistics published some time ago
show that the greatest increase in
sale of motor cars during the last
five years has been in the agricultural
sections, with the South leading in
the purchase of motor vehicles. Ac-
cording to these figures, while the in
crease in the number of cars the
country over during that time, was
nearly four-fold, the increase in the
South ranged from five-fold in Vir-
gfnia, North Carolina, Georgia and
New Mexico to sixteen-fold in Okla
homa, the state which led the whole
Nation in automobile increase.
s And during the war the report
shows the South moved up faster in
the increase of cars than other Sec
tions of the country, although in the
nature of things, some other sections
still own more cars.
I But the two deductions to be made
from these figures are that farming
has been paying proposition in the
South and West during the last five
;yearE and that the automobile is not
simply a pleasure vehicle, as some
may seem to think, but it is a neces-
sityrtor both city and country, and
rapidly becoming necessity even
more for the farmer than for the
urban dweller.-Houston Post.

Heat will Cause Formation Of Tiny
Series Of Blood Vessels Around
Embryo Of Chick.

Prepared by the United States Depart.

The absolutely fresh egg held against
the light shows a distinctive pinkfsh
glow Of goodness. Let that egg, how
ever, remain out in the sun or in the
summer heat for little time, and with.
in a day or two it begins to show
'blood," tiny series of little blood
vessels forming around the embryo Of
the chick; or the heat may cause the
yolk to go towards the top and shift
easily, which characterizes it as

Again, the yolk may mix with the
white and make 'white rot" con-
d!tion also revealed by the candle. The
final stage is the "black rot" where no
light at all can be seen through the egg.
The egg has now reached the explosive
stage, which makes it such a favorfte
missile of the average boy. There is,
however, another type Of bad egg which
most people would think good for food.
The yolk is firm golden ball and the
white a clear liquid. But the white has

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture)
Experiments in preserving eggs con
Quoted by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture in the past year
obtained best results from q 10 pei
cent solution Of water glass-that is
one part of commercial water glass
added to nine parts of boiled water
Good results were obtained with a
slightly weaker solution, using one
part of water glass to IA parts Of
water. Better results were obtained
when the water was boiled than when
unboiled water was used.
Earthenware Jars Best Containers.
In test of different containers the
earthenware jar gave by far the best
and most satisfactory results. Soft
wood containers, such as candy pals,
did not give satisfactory results,
while hardwood containers, such as
kegs used for cider and other bever-
ages, gave much better results than
the softwood pals, but did not begin
to compare with the earthenware
crooks. Even the hardwood kegs gave
considerable trouble on account OF
leakage, and had to be watched con.
stantly, which made them unsatisfac'
tory. Galvanized metal containers
similar to new garbage pals were also
used with success, but were not quite
so satisfactory as the crooks.
Tests with solutions other than wa
ter glass were made, and limewater,
both with and without salt, gave sat
isfactory results. Where unslaked
time is more readily available than
water glass the limewater method is
an excellent one to use and is cheaper
than the water glass. Tests in which
the eggs were coated with wax and
soap and other coating material did
not give nearly so satisfactory results
as when the eggs were kept in solu-
ton.
Directions for the use of water
glass and limewater are as follows:
I. Select a five-gallon crock and
clean it thoroughly, after which it
should be scalded and allowed to dry.
2. Heat a quantity of water to the
boiling point, and allow it to cool.
3. When cool measure out nine
quarts of water, place it in the crock,
and add one quart Of sodium silicate,
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1919-09-15

stirring the mixture thoroughly. This
will be sufficient to preserve Is dozen
eggs, and will serve as guide for the
quantity needed to preserve larger
numbers of eggs.
4. The eggs should be placed in the
solution. If sufficient eggs are not
obtainable when the solution is first
made, more eggs may be added from
time to time. Be very careful to al
low at least two inches of the solu-
ton to cover the eggs at all times.
5. Place the crock containing the
preserved eggs in cool, dry place,
we'll covered to prevent evaporation.
Waxed paper covering the top of the
crock and tied around it will answer
this purpose.
Limewater Method.
Pour small quantity of water on
one and one-half pounds Of unslaked
lime and when this is thoroughly
slaked add five gallons Of boiled wa
ter. Allow the mixture to stand un-
til the lime settles. Then pour off the
clear liquid, add one pound of salt and
use this for preserving the eggs,
throwing away the sediment in the
bottom of the receptacle. Use the
same directions as recommended for
the water glass for putting the eggs
in this solution.~
Fresh, clean eggs, properly pre-
served, can be used satisfactorily for
oil purposes in cooking and for the
table. When eggs preserved in water
glass are to be boiled, "a small hole
should be made in the shell with a
pin at the large end before placing
them in the water. This Is done to al
low the air in the egg to escape when
heated and to prevent cracking.
Eggs will keep from eight to twelve
months in good condition, but are
better up to the sixth or seventh
month. Dirty or cracked eggs should
not be put into the solution. Water
glass costs about $3.50 a gallon, max
ing the cost of preserving eggs with
this material about two cents dozen
for the water glass. Water-glass solu-
ton should not he used again the Sec
ond year unless it has kept quite clear
and no odor or thick sediment has de-
veloped. The use Of limewater is
much cheaper than the water-glass
method.
