PRESERVE EGGS IN SOLUTION
Where Sodium Silicate Is Not Handy
Lime Water Is Satisfactory and
Very Cheap.

Sodium silicate, or water-glass, is
the most convenient preservative in
which to store eggs for winter use, but
where lime is easily procurable, lime
water is very satisfactory and much
cheaper than water-glass. Lime water
is apt to rOughen the shells of the
eggs slightly, making the eggs some
what less attractive in appearance
than water-glass. Directions for using
this lime water are given by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
To preserve with lime, dissolve two
pounds of unslaked lime in small
quantity of water, ard dilute with five
gallons of water that has previously
been boiled and cooled. Allow the
mixture to stand until the lime settles,
then skim off, and use the clear liquid.
Put clean, fresh, unwashed eggs in
clean earthenware crock or jar and
pour the clear lime water into the YES
sci until the eggs are covered At least
two inches of the solution should cover
the top layer of eggs. Keep the re-
ceptacle tightly covered to prevent
evaporation and also to keep all for
eign material out of the solution.

animals that are normal when young
but later become runty from lack Of
such proper feed and care which
usually occurs about weaving time.
Alter enimals become runty or their
growth retarded, undoubtedly it will
take more feed to overcome this con-
dition and grow them out.
Cause of Runts.
"When pigs become runty," the Ten
nessee farmer adds, they never be-
come normal. / have estimated it re-
Quires at least Is per cent more feed
to put them in marketable condition
than it does normal hogs. My expe-
rience with purebred dairy cattle Is
that fully 80 per cent of runts among
cattle are caused by improper feeding
and care. If the stock raisers of this
country were educated in the proper
feeding and care of live stock until
they reached normal growth, the runts
in live stock in the United States
would be almost eliminated"
This statement not only further en-
phasizes the fact that it does not,
broadly speaking, take more feed to
prevent runt animals but does require
considerably more feed to develop
them once they become runty. Also
that it rarely is advisable to feed out
a pronounced runt. The only practi-
cal thing to do, therefore, is to pre-
vent runting by providing the neces-
sary feed, care, and management at
the most critical periods of their
growth and development. These pc
RODS with most animals are when
very young and at weaving time.

my nine years experience in stock
raising has been almost entirely with
purebred cattle and hogs, and while
some runts appear at birth they are
not nearly so numerous as the runts
caused by neglect and improper feed
ing and housing" This is the opinion
of a Tennessee farmer in letter to
the United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Many Small Animals Develop.
Specialists of the department
emphasize the fact that many animals
that are understood or small at birth
often grow and develop into useful,
profitable animals if a little special
attention is given them soon after
birth. This is especially true with
pigs. Unless the small pig of the lit
ter is thus provided for when quite
young, very often it is not worth feed
ing to maturity. If the proper kind
or amounts of feed are not given when
very young, if required to compete
with stronger or older animals for
what they do get, born runts or those
that are understood will become more
pronounced runts as they grow older.
In this respect they resemble closely

bring about its downfall very quickly
unless the. farmers remain steadfastly

activities were confined to the purchas-
ing Of branded barrel covers and the
selling of potatoes. Thirty-five thou
sand barrel covers were bought at a
saving of $500, and 126 carload lots
of potatoes were sold with a saving of
$4,000.
A great growth in cooperative mar
keting and purchasing has been one
of the outstanding results of extern
sion work in the South. County agents,
assisted by marketing specialists,
through marketing demonstrations and
by instruction and advice, have aided
local and county associations of farm
crs in the cooperative selling of many
kinds of farm produce and live stock,
and in the cooperative purchasing Of
Il great variety of farm necessities.
Farmers have gained knowledge of
methods and acquired confidence in
their ability to do business on a CO.
operative basis. They are. beginning
to undertake definite business organ
izationS on a countrywide and even
statewide scale for the marketing of
their main cash crops, such as cotton,
tobacco and peanuts.
Owing to the cooperative work in
cotton grading, CHASING, and stapling
and information given as to the mar
ket value Of the various grades and
staples by extension workers, it is es-
timated that between $1,000OOO and
$2000,O00 were saved to the cotton

MAIN VIRTUE OF SANDY SOIL
Roots of Plants Pass Through Il
Readily, but It Dries Out Too
Quickly.

The chief virtue of sandy soil is
that the roots of plants can pass
through it readily; its chief fault is
that it dries out too quickly. Clay soil
holds water well, but it tends to pack
and harden. Both types of soil need
stable manure-it loosens up clay and
helps sand TO hold moisture.
