Infertile Eggs
Keep Best

The greatest loss in preserved eggs
comes from the fact that fertile eggs
are preserved, according to G. s. An
derson of the Colorado Agricultural
college. Fertile eggs will keep equally
as well as infertile eggs, providing at
no time they have been brought to a
degree of heat where the germ starts
to develop. In holding fertile eggs for
preserving, they should not be allowed
to get above so degrees Fahrenheit.
During the early spring months this is
easily done, but in warmer weather
poultrymen should take the precaution
and produce infertile eggs. Fertiliza-
ton is not an incentive to egg produc-
tion among domestic fowls, and the
number of eggs produced will be in no
way diminished.
The fertile eggs contain no germ to
be developed, withstand more heat,
are slow to decay, and can be preserv-
ed with the minimum amount Of loss.

Proverbs Circulate.

Proverbs undoubtedly have a ten
dency to travel. They are carried
from one land to another by emf
grants, tourists, missionaries, trades
men and seamen; but many which are
closely similar doubtless owe their
origin to no common stock, but to the
common experience Of mankind.

Learn When to Be Silent.

The union Of good talker and lis
tener is irresistible. Tact should teach
us when to be silent. We have made
progress when we realize that 1t is un-
necessary to continually be explaining
everything in detail. We flee from
the statistical fiend, and the too per-
sonal 'P' in conversation, personally
reiterating the II have done" and II
have not done"-an attitude signifi-
cant perhaps of women's penchant for
failing to grasp ideas in large way.

One obtains historical glimpses in

raise money for the repair Of st

Doesn't it stand to reason that
an instrument that re-creates will
be preferred to one which merely
initiates? Isn't it obvious that an
instrument which has successfully
met the tone test should take prec-
edence over those which are unable
to sustain this searching trial?
Not once, but 1900 times has the
New Edison been subjected to the
test of direct comparison with the

An Appreciation.

Written for the Banner.l
When a man who has Outlived the
allotted span in building a character
in which every trait that goes to make
an admirable citizen, kind neighbor,
Il loyal and generous friend. a loving
and devoted husband and father
crosses over" to the glories of the
Great Beyond " it is fitting that some
friend should offer for record down
here" at least in part. that which has
heen set down in the Great Book Of
Life. from day to day. throughout the
years of long and well-spent career.
Such a man was my friend William
Smith. An acquaintance which began
more than Il third of century ago
and grew into friendship that rip
ened and mellowed as it grew. l think
none knew him better than l. He was
Il true and loyal friend. The latch
string of his door hung upon the out
side. with an invitation to the dis
treSSed to seek aid and comfort. as to
his friends to enjoy Il warm welcome
and Il CHEEKY hospitality. AS IL neigh
hor his kindness and generosity were
limited only by his means: as Il citizen
he was true to his ideals. IN the ten
| der relations of his social life he was
without reproach. and left behind him
five sons and five daughters. each of
whom is an honor to his name and Il
credit to his example.
He met all the varied obligations of
life with manlineSS and courage. He
was Il man of great usefulness. and
his life was spent in doing well all
that fell to his lot to do. A man Of un
compromising sturdineSs Of character
Staunch in upholding principle, he
was at the same time c0nSiderate and
courteous with those with whom he
did not agree-the never failing mark
of a gentleman. The greatest of all the
poets said: An honest man is the
nohleSt work of God Truly William
II. Smith was an honest man.
