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

Sodium Silicate, or water-glass, is
the most convenient preseryative in
which TO store eggs for winter use, but
where lime is easily p~rocurable, 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 a small
quantity of water, and 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 a
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.

Famous Jokes.

Andrew Carnegie told a good story
at the expense Of Matthew Arnold ia

the English critic was no successful
in his lectures in the United States,
but he was anxious to learn, and he
asked how Josh Billings held his au-
dience. The American humoriSt re-
piled well, you mustn't keep them
laughing too long, or they will think
you are laughing at them. After Civ

become earnest and play the serious

what these are?' Finally some one

FAILURE OF ORGANIZATIONS
Unless Farmers Remain SteadfastIy
Loyal Downfall Can Be Brought
About Quickly.

An association of men opposed to a
farmers cooperative enterprise can
bring about It's downfall very quickly
unless the farmers remain steadfastly
loyal. Many cooperative organiza-
tons have failed through the weak
ness Of members who could not resist
the temptation offered Of a fraction Of
a cent. When the opposition ~organlza-
ton puts out a bait to catch you, try TO
remember 1t is only a lure to draw you
from your own friends. Once you
have deserted, the bait is withdrawn.

NARROWED FOR THREE YEARS
Sailors Long Period on Loneliness on
Small island Located in the
South Seas.

Narrowing occasionally brings about
a modern Crusoe; just as it did with
Alexander Selkirk, who was put ashore
at Juan Fernandez, and whose adven-
lures gave Defoe the foundation for
Robinson Crusoe." The trading
schooner, Queen Charlotte, passing a
small island of the Marquesas in the
South seas, landed her boat to investi-
gate the smoke of a fire, as it was I'M
derstood the island was uninhabited.
Here was found a United States sea-
man, who had been put ashore with
three shipmates by their captain, on
account of their mutinous conduct.
The three others had died, but the
man from Connecticut had contrived to
live on the fish he caught, and the
%breadfruit and coconuts and other prod
ucts which he could gather. When
rescued after three years loneliness,
his utensils consisted of great shells,
and two cups which he possessed,
made from the skulls of his COM
panions.

animals that are normal when young
but later become runty from a lack of
such proper feed and care which
usually occurs about weaving time.
After 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 % per cent more feed
to put them in marketable condition
than 1t does normal hogs. My expe-
rience with purebred dairy cattle is
that fully 90 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 1t does not,
broadly speaking, take more feed to
prevent runt animals but does require
considerably more feed to develop
them once they become rrinty. Also
that it rarely is advisable to feed out
a pronounced runt. The only practi-
cal thing to do, therefore, is to pre-
venS 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.

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 farln-
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 ever
statewide scale for the marketing Of
their main cash crops, such as cotton,
tobacco and peanuts.
Owing t the cooperative work In
cotton grading, CHASING, and stapling,
and information given as to the mar
ket value of the various grades AID
staples by extension workers, it Is es-
timated that between S 1,000,0O0 ara

MAIN VIRTUE OF SANDY SOIL
Roots Of Plants Pass Through n
Readily, but II Dries out Too
Quickly.

The chief virtue Of sandy soil Is
that the roots of plants can pass
through 1t readily; its chief fault is
that 1t dries out too quickly. Clay soil
holds water well, but II tends to pack
and harden. Both types Of soil need
stable manure--it loosens up clay and
helps sand to hold moisture.

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

The fanciful styles Of the last two
years will not be so noticeable this
spring. Designers were quick to sense
the acceptance or rejection Of their
ideas and mems clothes cannot be
forced 20 tho degree that is possible
with mems modes. Hence we win see
a more conventional note in the spring
ciothng--a note that Is truly In ac-
cord with the tagtes OF refined dress
era.
Young men simply wore the radical
styles because they were tho vogue but
accepted them with notable reluc-
tance. And as time passed the aver
axe mans idea Of what style should be
IN clothes swung with the pendulum.
Wide Shaped Trousers.

nounced as last season. The skirt al
though continued long. will not have

BcItcd Effects Now IsEre.
During the last year there has been
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1921-03-19

a gradual retirement Of the belted ef-
fects and there also has been a dts
continuance to degree OF the pleated
and panel back effects. They viii not

Unsettled conditions. due to the re-
