EGGS PRESERVED WITH LIME
Will Be Found Quite Satisfactory
Where Water Glass Is Diff
ficuIt to Obtain.

If water glass is not obtainable,
lime may be used for preserving eggs,
say specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture. 1t is not
considered so good as water glass, as
in some instances eggs preserved by
this method have tasted slightly of
lime, although at other times lime
water has proved entirely sastifac-
tory.
To preserve with lime, dissolve two
pounds of unslaked lime in a small
quantity of water, and dilute with
five gallons of water that has previ-
ously been boiled and cooled. Allow
the mixture to stand until the lime
settles, then pour off and use the clear
liquid. Place clean, fresh eggs in a
clean earthenware crock or Jar. and
pour the clear limewater into the YES
sci until the eggs are covered. At
least two inches of the solution should
cover the top layer of eggs.

CHEAP COOP FOR BACK YARD
tireIy Satisfactory Where Small
Flock Is Kept

1t is not necessary to spend much
money for housing if you are going to
keep a small flock of hens in your
back yard. Indeed, it is unwise, say
poultry specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
One or two piano cases or a large
packing box may often be made into
an acceptable home. But whatever
you build should be made dry and
free from drafts, and have good venti-
lation. The United States Department
of Agriculture has numerous bulletins
giving directions for this kind of con-
struction, and any of these are avail
able for the asking, or for a very few
cents where a chargers necessary. A
card to the division of publications,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c., will get you
what you need.

KNOW ART OF CONFINEMENT
Cats Set Excellent Example to the
Restless Men and Women of the
Present Day.

The treasures in the Egyptian sec
ton Of the British museum were a
source Of great interest to the crown
prince Of Japan during his visit to
London. These rooms are special
favorites Of the public, and for the
children the Egyptian cats have a
special fascination. Curious-looking
things they are but they are eats even
if their type is not of the type of the
present day.
The Egyptians looked upon the cat
as the very symbol of contentment,
and all who know a hearth where a
cat sits before the fire will agree with
them, and since contentment is
good thing, the cat should be In de-
mand at the present time. Madam
Puss certainly sets an example of
making the best of things. In a Lon
don drawing-room a workwoman was
left alone to fit some chintz covers on
the chairs. When she was going she
looked at a cat on the rug by the fire,
and said, at is very friendly cat;
it did not at all resent me being here"
The mistress ef the house glanced
at the cat and replied, II am glad it

SCOUTS BIGGEST ENROLMENT

June, 1921, showed the biggest en-
rOllment of scouts in the history of
the movement, fact which ought to
be a matter of pride and congratula-
ton to all concerned. The more boys
that come under the influences Of
scouting, the healthier, happier, finer
will the boyhood Of America be, the
greater the promise of its future. 1t
is not meaningless chance that makes
us hear on every side that boy scouts
aren't in the police courts, that boy
scouts are in the honor rolls of our
schools. that boy scouts are perform
ing this or that civic service. Scouting
rings true to its aims. 1t not only
claims to fit boys for manhood but it
does it, so why shouldn't we be proud
that the Boy Scouts Of America num-
bers an active membership of over
100000. Why shouldn't we salute and
pay all honor to the scOutmaster, the
volunteer leader Of boyhOOd under a
great banner to a great goal? Why
shouldn't we say to them and each
other: "Come on let's make it 50O,-
600 by Chrismas?"

stock.
Many boy could have kept all the
money he received as profit and neg
lected to pay for his papers, but, so
the paper declares, as soon as the
storm of selling was over the boys re-
turned to the neighbOrhood and set

actly what it should have been for
the number Of papers sent out from
the Office of publication.
That was only ordinary honesty, 1t
is true. but kind Of honesty met
with seldom enough to be uncommon.

who are familiar with newsboys. The

and he certainly doesn't intend TO

and pens, and these buildings to the
killing house. The pens in the houses
the outside yards, and the arrange
ment of the buildings should be
planned so that the ducks may be cas-
lily driven from house to house as de-
sired. The feed room or house should
be centrally located.
Convenient watering arrangements
are essential where large numbers of
ducks are kept, as they require large
amount of drinking water, say poultry
specialists of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. While ducks
may be kept successfully under very
intensive conditions, it Is advisable to
allow considerable yard space. Double
yards, which may be rotated and
planted to quick-growing crops, such
as oats, wheat and rye, are good for
intensive duck farms.
1t Is advisable to have a pond or
stream for the breeding ducks, as they
usually give better fertility under
these conditions, although on some
successful duck farms the ducks are
always kept on dry land. The young
green ducks on some farms which have
a pond are not allowed to 60 into the
water except to battle and clean their
feathers just before marketing. Other
growers, however, allow the green
ducks free access to ponds or streams
until they are marketed.

THEIR BEST NOW AND ALWAYS

Dean Mann of Cornell says:
"When the boys of today shall have
become grown men, the time Will have
arrived when this nation will be feel
ing acutely the inevitable shortage OF
timber for our imperative needs un-
less In the meantime new attitude
and new program for the protection
OF our disappearing timber supply
shall have been instituted. The hoy
scouts of today may well exert their
full effort and influence in helping to
assure an adequate wood supply
against the time when they will man
the nation. A first and fundamental
step Is observation-disclosures the
problem and the way out and helping
other persons to understand it. Let
the boy scouts use every means to-
ward this end. 1t is doubly necessary
now that we are again at the begin
ming Of the camping season and the
dry periods.
"The boy scouts have high ideals
for national service. They know how
to quicken public thought and action.

ton and development, which is so in-
