The Scotch pine, or Scots pine,
is a native of Europe and eastern to
western and northern Asia, where it
is one of the most important of the
timber trees. 1t grows from 70
to 100 feet high, pyramidal when
young, in old age with spreading
somewhat pendulous branches, form
ing broad, often picturesque, head.
There is a light blush tinge to its
foliage which, together with its
loose, informal habit, gives the tree
a moro cheerful aspect in place of
the somberness of some of the pines.
Hence we find it frequently planted
about homes in the northern states.
In handsome grace. however, it falls
far short of our own white pine or
of the beautiful Asiatic pine OF the
Himalaya mountains. 1t is quite
hardy. grows rapidly, is vigorous and
dependable, and out on the prairies
is often made use of in windbreaks,
being one of the few trees able to
flourish before the hot dry winds and
with little rainfall.
The leaves are in clusters of two.
They are one and one-half to three
inches long, stout and rigid, acute,
twisted, blush or grayish green.
The cones are one and one-half to
two and one-half inches long. short
stalked, comic to oblong, g1ayish to
reddish brown abundant, neatly
dropping as soon as ripe, instead OF
remaining on the tree for years, as

Danny Meadow Mouse had just said
that he wished he could see the Sala-

Facts About Eggs.

EGGS are often spoken Of as belong

foods. True, they contain in the yolk
several other valuable food elements.
fat and iron being among the most
important. It is in the bodybuilding
group, however, that they are most
often classed, and the first thing we
should know about them is how they
compare with meat. for which they
are often substituted.

From the above, the home dietitian
may see at a glance that eggs are to
be regarded as food to be served
with starchy dishes.
One writer points out that while the
popular ham and eggs combine the
body building substance, the fat, and
the ash, they lack other important
elements, the starch and sugar.

Earlier experiments in the digesti-
bility OF eggs dealt chiefly with the
time eggs remained In the stomach.
Later work mas SHOWN tnat the meth
cd of cooking has a decided effect on
the digestibility of eggs. and that
hard boiled eggs are more difficult for
a delicate system than those which
have been allowed to coddle or cook
slowly in a moderate temperature.
Rapid boiling tends to harden the al
bumen and to render 1t less digestible
The best method for preserving
eggs is that of cold storage.
1t is said that eggs placed in cold
storage during the early spring
months are In a better state of pres
ervation the following summer than
so-called fres heggs. Exposure to a
summer temperature is inadvisable If
eggs are to be placed in cold storage.

There are over fifteen horticul-

this Scotch pine. There is a variety
with foliage of a blue-green silvery

yellow, another with leaves a dirty
greenish white, one with pendulous
branches, and others.
The tree illustrated is one at the
edge of a strip of woods a short

changed from time to time as cir
