PRESERVED EGGS WILL KEEP
FOR SIX OR EIGHT MONTHS

Fresh eggs if properly preserved
will be satisfactory for all uses six
or eight months hence, according to
Clara NJ. Suffer, extension specialist
in poultry, who gives these directions
for preserving eggs in water glass:
TO preserve Is dozen eggs, select a
five-gallon earthen or stone crock,
clean it thoroughly, scald and dry it.
Heat 10 or II quarts of water to boil
ing point, then cool it. When cool,
out 9 quarts OF water, place
in crock and add one quart OF water
glass. Stir well and put in the eggs;
care should be taken not to crack
or break the shells while putting
them into the solution; be sure that
the liquid covers the eggs by at least
two inches at all times. Put the
crock in a cool, dry place, tightly Gov
cred with a lid or with wax paper
to prevent evaporation.
eff water glass is not obtainable.
| lime solution may be used, although
it is considered not quite SO salts
| factory as the first method. For best
results, the eggs must be fresh and
| clean, and preferably infertile. Fol
this reason it is always best to candle
them before preserving. The egg
ishould be cleaned with a cloth damp
ened in vinegar to remove stains
never wash the eggs with soap anC
water as the water takes Oft the
protective coating and may cause con
tents to spoil. Never preserve a bao
egg, or even a doubtful one, as on'
bad egg in a jar may spoil all thu
others.
"Ordinarily, eggs preserved b!
these directions will be good for TIN
table as we'll as for cooking for tn
next six or eight months. Ii pre-
served eggs are boiled, a small hol
should be made with a pin in tn
'arger end before placing the egg II
water. This lets he air in the eg|
escape when heated and thus prevent
racking."

Truth is Never Idle. Truth is Growth; 1t is Progress.
Florida Saved by The Press

Floridas decision to abolish the convict lash comes as a
result of newspaper publicity which compelled state officials to
vince before the anger OF decent thinking peIr!e. Men and
boys tortured and whipped to death in conTi2t camps presented
a picture at once revolving and oCtrageCU2.
OF course, the situation never could have existed had the
people of Florida realized what was going on. Unfortunately,
they did not realize, and the sleek officials, paid whlppers and
convict judges, thinking possibly of their own jobs, took pains
to keep dsgraceful details from public notice.
Prisoners were dashed and tortured not only as punishment,
but as a means Of terrifying the rest Of the gang and to main
tain discipline" Secrecy was the safeguard, and it needed
courage to turn on the spotlight. Only the vision and public
spirit of a newspaper publisher made possible the ending of this
horrifying practice.
1t takes brave men to tell the truth but once the truth be-
came known, the peoples anger grew. When the temper of the
people began to be felt, the politicians stepped in line, and so we
find marked up another worthy achievement in journalism.
1t is pleasing to note that the reform was brought about by a
few of the home newspapers of Florida and not by pressure
from an alien press. The Jacksonville Journalled manfully in
the fight, remorselessly dragging into the sunlight the brutality
that put such a blot upon the state. Most of the country news
papers did their part valiantly. Obviously, it was not a pleas
ing task for the newspapers to expose a condition so disgraceful
in their own state, but sometimes 1--WE must be cruel only to be
kind"
We have no room sr Congo atrocities in America.

Farmers Watchdogs ON the Job .

1t is q peculiar fact that in considering the relation Of the
farmers product to the prices he must pay for commodities
notice is rarely taken of the fact that the average farmer has
resting on his shoulders the burden of a mortgage. 1t is all
very well to theorize that farmers are prosperous when prices
of the products he must buy are brought within range of tho
prices paid for farm products. These are fuctating elements,
and may be brought to reasonable equalization.
The tangle comes however because we consider the farmers
problem in terms of commodities, those sold and those bought,
when the vital element, the mortgage and the interest fall into
entirely a different class.
The mortgage and the interest spell actual cash that must
be wrung from the profits of the farm and at specific periods,
and while the money market may Auctuate and be Of Importance
to temporary borrowers, the sum total of mortgages remains
the same, and the fixed interest remains the same.
If the farmer ever is to get rid of his old man of the sea,
then some consideration must be given to this fact. In 1910
the farmer had to pay 1920 from every 800 he received to
take care of his mortage interest alone. In 1920 he had to pay
81 SO to meet these demands. In 1922 he had to give up
$141O out of every hundred received. It can be seen that q
lowering of the price the farmer must pay for commodities
does not by any means solve his problem.
