Preserve Eggs.

Preserve Eggs.
With eggs going into cold storage
at 42c a dozen, we are beginning to
wonder what we may have to pay for
fresh eggs next winter. Predictions
are freely made that good fresh eggs
will bring from 75c to $100 per dozen.
Perhaps we can make no better in
vestment than to put down several
dozen eggs in water glass. This is
one of the easiest and most inexpens-
i've means Of preserving eggs for sew
eral months and have them come out
in good condition From your drug
gist get quantity of water glass and
mix with it ten parts of pure water.
Place this solution in a big jar. Gath
er the eggs fresh each day and place
them in the water glass solution Fit
a cover of wood or pasteboard over
the jar to keep out the dust and dirt
Eggs will keep much better if they are
infertile. Now is the time to dispose
of the farm roosters and produce on
ly infertile eggs for the market and
for preserving in water glass or 9TH
er preparations.
La Crosse County Cow Testing Assn.
The Holman COw--testing associa-
ton is one of the oldest in the state,
having been organized in 1909. Their
annual report for 1917 gives added
evidence of the value of pure bred
bulls. COWS qualified for the Regis
ter of Production, producing 365 lbs.
or more butterfat. Every one of the
five sired by pure bred bull Herds
headed by pure bred bulls averaged
COTS lbs. of milk and 260 lbs. fat per
cow
Herds not using pure bred bulls
average 1922 lbs. milk and 205.5 lbs.
fat per COW. Difference in favor of
COWS from herds headed by pure bred
bulls 1134 lbs. milk and 54.5 lbs. but
terfat
Note Grant county dairymen should
profit by the experience related above
We need at least ten COW testing as
sOciations organized in the county at
once, in order that dairying may be
put upon more profitable basis. Let
your County Agent know if you are
interested.

Junior Live Stock Exposition.
The first week in November will
be given over to the Junior Live
Stock Exposition to be held at the
big stock pavilion in Madison. This
is the first of its kind ever held in
America, and as M. F. Woodhouse of
Bloomington, a district representative
of the Wisconsin Live Stock Breed
ers' Association says, ct is going to
be one of the biggest boosts for boys
as well as live stock Wisconsin ever
had" Many people are boosting live
stock, now let's all boost for the BOYS
and help them get in on this big
event. 1t means starting a boy out in
a successful career as a breeder of
live stock by getting him interested
in this big event, and is there anv-
thing more desirable than to be known
to the world as a constructive breed
er of live stock? Every farmer in
Grant county should make an effort
to get his own boy or some other bow
interested in making an entry for
this exposition Entries for calves
and colts close June 1, and for lambs
and pigs, July 1. Only ten days more
