Spring is the season when there is a
surplus Of eggs on most farms. For
his q 1t is desirable that a sup
ply be preserved at home to be used
next fall and winter when eggs are
hard to get and are high in price.
There are several methods of pre-
serving eggs which have proven very
successful and which. because they
are cheap, simple, and effective, should
be put into practice more extensively.
Eggs to be preserved must be fresh.
and should be placed in the preserving
container as soon as possible after they
are laid. One Of the best methods Of
preserving is by the use of waterglass,

than can be bought by the quart or
gallon from the druggist or poultry

the proportion Of l part Of waterglnss

HOW BULL ASSOCIATIONS AID
Purchase Price and Maintenance Dis

Cows Owned BY Members.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Cooperative bull associations are
formed by farmers for the joint owner
ship, use, and exchange OF purebred
bulls. The purchase price and cost Of
maintenance are distributed according
to the number Of cows owned BY each,
thereby giving the farmer an oppor-
tunity to kuild up his herd at q min
iMum expense. The organization also
helps its members to market dairy
stock ami dairy products, to fight con
tagious diseases Of cattle intelligently.
and In other ways assists In improving
the dairy Industry.
) The bull association does not give
something for nothing, but with an out
lay Of $50 can furnish a share In five
purchred bulls. These bulls cannot In
crease the production of the COWS 10

ducticn OF their daughters. The daugh-

vents chemical action from the solu-
ton. The crooks or cans should be
scalded and allowed to cool before
they are used. A ~container holding 5
gallons will accommodate Is dozen
eggs and will require one quart Of
waterglass.
TO Uss Waterolass Solution.
Half fill the container with the wa
terglass solution and place the eggs in
It. Eggs q be added from day to day
as they are obtained, making sure that
the eggs are covered by about z inches
Of waterglass solution. Cover the con
tainer and place it in a cool place
where 1t will not have to be moved.
Look at 1t from time to time, and II
there seems to be danger of too much
evaporation, add sufficient cool boiled
water to keep the eggs covered. Eggs
removed from the solution should be
rinsed In clean, cold water. Before
they are boiled holes should be pricked
in the large ends with q needle to pre-
vent them from cracking.
limeWater Also P~reservative.
Limewater also is satisfactory for
preserving eggs and is slightly less ex-
pensive than waterglass. A solution
is made by placing ? ~ 3 pounds OF
unslaked lime in 5 gallons Of water
which has been boiled and allowed to
cool. and allowing the mixture to stand
until the lime settles and the liquid Is
clear. The eggs should be placed In. a
clean ~earthenware jar or other suit
able vessel and covered to a depth of
2 inches with the liquid. Remove the
eggs al desired, rinse in clean, cold
water, and use Immediately.

CONSIDER QUALITY OF SEED

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of ~Agriculture.)
The value OF seed depends not only
on the price but on how price and
quality compare. A high-priced lot may
be cheaper than q low-priced one. For
example, il one lot costs $45 a hundred
pounds and contains 30 per cent pure
seed, OF which 95 per cent will grow,
there will be "a pounds Of pure. vinble
seed in every 100. This "a pounds,
therefore, will cost 47.S cents a pound.
Another lot selling for $35 a hundred
may contain 30 per rent pure seed, Of
which 50 per cent will grow. This lot,
then, has Y pounds Of pure, viable
seed In : hundred pounds and this -
pounds will cost the buyer 4S.6 cents
q pound. On the other hand, 4 lot
costing 30 and containing 81 per cent
pure SEED, Of which so per cent will
grow, will contain Ssh pounds good
seed per hundred and will lost the
46.7 cents for every pound
of good seed. Have the seed tested and
be ready to act early and intelligently.

week, pretty much to the exclusion
OF every other topic, and many more
than two sides of the question have
been presented. There nave been
some things happened that were pain
full, some that were ludicious, and
some that were just queer. Some
people have got excited and some
people nave got stubborn. Men on
both sides have misunderstood and
misjudged. Into all the aspects Of
the case we have neither time nor
inclination to go, except to say that
it must now appear to all that the
bests interests of the city have suf-
fered by the introduction of the SUBJ
