ORANGE TRADE IS IMPROVED
Spanish Growers Looking Forward TO
Good Days Now That War
Conditions Are Gone.

"Gleaming myriads between the
hills and the sea" The writer refers
to Valencia's orange groves, star
ring the plain on either side Of her.
"When the sea horizon reddens on a
cloudleSs morning, they show up
wonderfully beneath the pale pur-
pie Of the rocky, treeless Sierras.
The soil is a gorgeous red, and be-
sides the rows of orange trees and
occasionally olives, it is dotted with
small dark tufts of cypress and tiny
snow-white houses" Yet the Lon
don Morning Posts correspondent,
who speaks thus enchantingly of
Valencia and her winter crops, adds
that the year is not accounted a good
one for oranges. Plenty of oranges,
but they are expensive, is Ae fact Of
the situation. But for all that, the
Falencian orange trade is reyiying,
the procession Of carts carrying their
loads Of fruit, the yield of the Yalen-
clan plain, for expectation from
Gras harbor, is not likely to grow
less. The war, the lack of transport,
the SubmarineS-,all untoward con-
ditions of the last five years, are dis
appearing into the distance, and the

Missouri College of Agriculture.
Housewives have long recognized the
wisdom of canning fruits and vegeta-
bles, but there is a good deal Of pref
udice against eggs that have been
packed or stored. The principle in
volyed in preserving eggs is the
same as that used in canning. The
product is sealed up so that the air
may be kept out thus preserving the
food. Preserving eggs is much east
err than canning fruits and is just as
successful. Where the work is pro-
perly done, eggs preserved in May
can not be distinguished from fresh
eggs by either taste or appearance
when served in February.
The only materials needed for pre-
serving infertile eggs are earthen-
ware jars for holding them, and a
supply of water glass to be mixed
with boiled rain water to form the

Preserved Eggs Reduce the High
Cost of Living.

The disasterous slump in egg pric-
eses caused by the railroad strike af-
fords an excellent opportunity to re-
duce the hight cost Of living by pre-
serving enough eggs to serve the
family during the months of high egg
prices. Reports from the farms en-
tered in the Missouri Farm Flock
Contest show that the average farm
family ate thirteen dozen eggs dur
ing March. There is no more whole
some and nutritious food than eggs,
and a family of five might well use
thirteen dozen eggs each month in
the year if prices were not prohibit
tive.
BY preserving eggs in water glass
during April and May cheap eggs
may be eaten turnout the year, says

LIVED UP TO INVITATIONS
Club Announced That Banquet Was to
Be Dry, and It Proved to
Be the Truth.

A club. which in the good old
days" was known for the "wetness"
of its dinners, gave a banquet the
other night. and the invitations to it
read that il was to be a DRY pro-
gram. Thinking that there was a
joke in Tie invitation somewhere,
and that probably the arrangements
committee had dug up" liquor for
an old-time celebration. the club
membership turned out as ono man.
But ihe commit ee. to show ,hat il
was 90 the square served a menu
that included the following: Dried
beef, dried corn. dried apricots. un-
Outtered popcorn, salt mackerel.
Sailed peanuts and dry toast. There
was nothing wet like the members
had been thinking about. And the
speeches were the "driest" part of
the entertainment.
"The least We expected" lamented
the closing speaker, was a dry Mar
tlni or a dry Manhattan"

AUSTRALIAN BEE INDUSTRY

The bee industry is an important
one in Australia, and, like poultry
farming, is ordinarily an adjunct to
agricultural or dairying industries.
The average annual production of
honey IN the past five years has been
over 100000 pounds, with a pro-
duction Of about 10000 pounds of
heeswa1' In the past year or two,
however, the production of both
honey and beeswax has fallen consid-
erabIy below the high record of
1913 when over 5000, 900 pounds
OF honey was produced.

preserving solution. Water glass a
be bought from most drug stores at
a reasonable price. a five-gallon jar
is a convenient unit for preserving
eggs. This will hold about fifteen
dozen. One quart Of water glass
which should cost not more than
thirty-fve cents, will preserve fifteen
dozen eggs. Place the fresh infer
tile eggs in the jar and pour over
them the preserving solution made
by mixing one quart of water glass
with nine quarts of rain water which
has been boiled and cooled before the
water glass in added. The preserved
eggs should be stored in a cool place
and the jar should be covered with
oil cloth or waxed paper to prevent
evaporation of the water.

taking the half mile relay as they
would be fresh while our men would
be tired as the same Wentworth run
ners We're entered who had competed
before. But they were doomed to
disappointment. In spite of the fact
that it was Moreland's fourth race
of the day, and Williamson's third,
and despite the fact that Bradfeld
had competed in the broad jump and
pole vault, and Williamson in the
shot put, the old Wentworth quartet
Of sprinters, Bradfeld, Williamson,
Hampton, and Moreland, dashed away
to a victory in 1 min. and S5 sec.
Thus ended a glorious day. More
land was without doubt the star. The
diminutive Splinter has not lost a
race this year and at Columbia, Sat
urday, although limping from a
bruised hip, he finished ahead in four
hard races. Collins and Bradfeld,
perhaps, We're the next two stars,
Collins finish in the half mile being
especially worthy of note. But every
fellow did his best and Wentworth
has reason to be proud of the track
team.
