Everybody Can Take Milk.
If a person tells me “I cannot take
milk" I always say: "You con If you
will take It in a certain way.” It Is a
question usually of taking It aright or
of taking It like soup, with a spoon,
with a bite of some carbohydrate sub
stance, cracker or bread, between the
sips. I do not think everybody must
take milk, but I think everybody can.

World Record In Treaties.
Some painstaking person has com
piled a list of treaties from 1500 B. C.
to 1860 A. D. In those 34 centuries
the world achieved 8,000 treaties, and
we are told that each of them on the
overage lasted a little longer than two
years. It Is ns true now as It was
1.500 years before the Christian era
thut treaties are only kept when there
is an honest intention among all pur
ties of keeping them.

THOUSANDS LOST
i ROTTEN EGGS
Produce Infertile Eggs—Increase the
Food Supply and Farm
Profits.
Extension Division University of Ark
ansas, Fayetteville.
Arkansas farmers lose thousands of
dollars every summer because the
eggs from the flocks spoil before being
marketed. The greater part of this
loss is due to a partial hatching of
fertile eggs which have been allowed
to become warm enough to begin to
incubate. Produce infertile eggs and
thus help to increase the food supply
in the state and your farm profits.
Infertile eggs keep best and market
best in summer, while fertile eggs
spoil quickly during hot weather.
Roosters Do Not Help the Hens Lay.
Remember the rooster does not
help the hens lay, but he merely fer
tilizes the germ of the egg, which is
unnecessary if the eggs are not to be
used for hatching purposes. The fer
tile germ in hot weather quickly be
comes a blood ring which spoils the
egg for food and for the market. Sum
mer heat has the same effect on fer
tile eggs as the hen or incubator.
Infertile Eggs Will Not Make
Blood Rings.
Produce infertile eggs because the
infertile germ will not produce a
blood ring and, consequently, an in
fertile egg will not spoil as quickly
as one that is fertile. Cook, can, or
pen ypur roosters as soon as the
hatching season is over. Farmers
are urged to follow the following
simple rules which will cost nothing
but time and thought and will add a
great deal to the profits from the
poult ry:
have one neat for every four hens
and keep the straw clean
2. Gather the eggs twice daily dur
ing warm or rainy weather.
3. Keep the eggs in a cool, dry
place and market them not less than
twice a week during hot weather.
4. Dispose of the roosters as soon
as the hatching season is over; pro
duce infertile eggs.
5. Preserve eggs for the family for
winter use the same day they are
laid; remember, only clean (not
washed), fresh, uncracked eggs cau
be preserved.
PRESERVE EGGS FOR WINTER
USE.
Consumers as Well as Dealer Can
Keep Eggs.
Eggs are high priced during some
months of the year because they are
scarce. Every housewife can guard
against these high prices if she will
preserve eggs when they are plenti
ful and cheap. It is just as easy for
the housewife as if is for the dealer to
preserve eggs. *
“Water Glass" Method.
The most practical way for the
housewife to preserve eggs is by the
“Water Glass” method. “Water
Glass” (sodium silicate) can be
bought at any drug store. It is a sy
rupy liquid and should always be used
in the proportion of one part of water
glass to nine parts of cool water
which has been boiled. By using these
proportions eggs can be preserved in
any jar or crock filled with the solu
tion and they will keep several months
if stored in a cool cellar or room
where the air fs fresh.
Selecting the Eggs To Be Preserved.
Eggs should be preserved by being
put in the water glass solution the
same day they are laid. They must
be clean, but unwashed, and with good
shells. Be careful and do not crack
them in filling the jar. Since Infer
tile eggs naturally keep longer and
fresher than fertile eggs, it is best
to use infertile eggs. In filling the
jar, be sure to leave about 3 inches
of the solution over the top of the
eggs. When filled, cover the jar
with heavy paper. This will keep
the solution clean and help prevent
evaporation. Inspect the jars regular
ly and see that they are kept filled
with the solution. Do not let enough
of the solution evaporate to expose
any of the eggs to the air. ' •
To Use Water Glass Eggs.
When ready to use the eggs which
have been preserved in water glass,
take them from the solution and wash
them in cold water. If they are to be
boiled, a couple of small holes must
be pricked in the shell with a needle
or the contents may break the shell
while boiling.
IMPROVED IMPLEMENTS FOR
THE HOUSEWIFE.
Too mafiy farmers who have im
proved farm machinery and use the
latest methods in making their crops
have forgotten that it is possible lo
make the work of the housewife much
easier by paying a little attention to
the arrangement of the kitchen and
by furnishing labor saving devices
which can be made without a great
deal of trouble or expense. De
scriptions of these devices, including
the milk cooler, iceless refrigerator,
folding ironing board, the roller tray
wagon and serving table, the home
made snower bath, the scrubbing
'•harlot, the dustless mop, fireless
cooker and many others can be se
cured for the asking upon application

Follow Directions in the Following
Article and You Will Havs
No T rouble.
By Miss Emma Archer, State, Home
Demonstration Agent, Exlension
Division, University of Arkansas.
Sterilize Jars: First, wash your
jars, lids and rubbers well, and then
put them in a pan of water or can
ner, and let boil while you prepare
the vegetable or fruit to be canned.
Directions For Canning String Beans.
Sterilize jars. Select young and
tender beans. String and break them
into short and even lengths. Wash
them, put in a flour sack and down
into a pan of boiling water for eight or
ten minutes or until you see them
change color. Then take them out
and pack them in the sterilized jars.
Dissolve salt in the water that has
been boiled and pour this brine over
the beans. Put on the rubber ahd
screw the lid down until you can lift
the Jar by it; then place it in the
canner or deep kettle of hot water
which comes within one-half inch of
the lid of the jar. Cover closely and
start cooking. Do not count time un
til the water gets to boiling: boil
three hours, take out and screw top
down as tightly as possible.
If you use kettle or deep pan to
place jars in, put in strips of wood
nailed together to make a false bot
tom, which keeps the jars from hit
ting together. Remember to have a
tight fitting lid to the vessel used as
a canner.
Directions For Canning Tomatoes
i-or nome use.
Sterilize jars. Mix one cup or sugar
and one-half cup of salt well. Select
good ripe tomatoes of uniform size
and color, immerse in boiling water
one minute, or until skin loosens, then
put In cold water. With a sharp knfe.
pointed at the end, cut out all the
hard core, care being taken not to
break seed cells, and peel carefully.
Cut off little blossom end, and any
black or green spots and pack close
in jar; mix and put In two level tea
spoons of the salt and sugar mixture.
Do not use any water in your Jars. If
the jar is not full if liquid, use some
Juice from other ripe tomatoes, but if
you have packed your tomatoes good
in the jar there ought to be plenty of
juice.
Put on the rubber, screw lid down
until you can lift the jar by it, place
in canner or deep keetle of hot water,
letting the water come to within two
inches of the neck of the jar. Cover
the kettle with a close lid to hold as
much of the steam as possible and
start cooking.
Do not start counting time until the
water gets to boiling good, then boil
30 minutes. Take out and screw down
lid tight as possible. If you use a
kettle or deep pan to place jars in,
put in strips of wood nailed together
to make a false bottom, to keep jars
fro mtouching the bottom as that will
break them. Pack paper or straw be
tween jars so they cannot hit to
gether.
Be sure to have a close fitting lid
to the vessel you us# as a canner, as
the extra heat you get from the con
fined steam insures success if you
follow directions.
Directions For Canning Peaches.
Sterilize jars and cans. Before plac
ing rubbers on jars, put them tor five
minuter In one pint of hot water in
which has been dissolved one level
teaspoon of soda.
Select firm peaches. Scald for 15
seconds by putting them in a wire
basket or cheese cloth sack and
plunging into boiling water; then peel
by hand or by rubbing peeling
off with cloth. Cut Into halves;
fill sterilized cans or glass Jars,
but do not crush. Vary the de
gree of syrup according to the
quality of fruit being used. Under no
circumstances pack a poor quality of
fruit in heavy syrup; neither should
high grade peaches be packed in light
syrup. Too much sugar will de
stroy the freshness and natural flavor
of the fruit. For syrups use five
pounds, eight ounces to one gallon of
water. For the sweetest peacher or
lower grades use from three and
one-half to four and one-half
pounds of sugar to one gallon
of »water. Put sugar in cold wa
ter and dissolve, bring slowly to a
OoU and boil for one minute.
Never use the early varieties of
peaches for canning for market as
early fruit is usually very watery
and will not make a nice pack.
Peaches may be canned for pies with
out peeling or without sugar. Wash
well and rub “fuz” off with a coarse
cloth; split in halves, fill the can
and cover with hot water. Peaches
cut in quarters or eighths will lowder
their market value Exhaust in tin
cans by putting them in canner. Have
the water nearly up to the top of the
cans and bring to boil and boll for
three minutes. Tip cans and process
by boiling in No. 3 cans for 15 min
utes.
For glass Jars lay rubbers on and
place top on or screw half way down
Have the water in canner nearly up
to the top of jars and about the same
temperature of the contents of jar.
bring to boil and boil for three min
utes. Seal jars and process by boil
ing for 20 minutes. When jars are
taken eut do not let cold draft strik
them.
DUCKS THRIVE ON SOFT FOOD
Nutritive Organs Not Adapted to
Whole Grains—Give Them Green
Feed in Abundance.
The duck’s nutritive organs are not
adapted to whole grains. The natural
diet of ducks is soft food, worms and
bugs, from the banks and marshes. For
best development, ducks should have
soft feed, always accompanied by wa
ter in pans deep enough to permit them
to submerge the beak to fhe eyes. Give
them lettuce, spinach, beet fops, onion
tops, weeds—green food of some kind
in abundapce.
For a few ducks the vegetable par- j
ings may be boiled and fed with mash ;
small potatoes, not to exceed a tiftli
of the mash, may be used. Too many
potatoes are not good.
For stock ducks in autumn nnd early
winter, an excellent ration is equal
parts of cornmeal, wheat bran and
boiled vegetables, with 10 per cent of
beef scrap fed morning and evening;
at noon a little cracked corn, wheat or
oats. When the birds begin to lay, in
crease the proportion of meal and
scrap, and add low-gra<\e flour, mak
ing a mash about as follows: Meal,
one part; brun, one part; low-grade
flour, one part; vegetables, one part,
with from 12 to 15 per cent of beef
scrap.
GOOD REMEDY FOR GAPEWORM
Parasites Are Usually Found in Poul
try Raised on Low Land—Plow
Infected Areas.
Gapeworms are coijunonly found in
poultry raised ou low land; they may
be seen attached to the walls of the
windpipe. For treatment restrict the
birds to well-drained quarters and
plow the infected areas. Individual
treatment necessitates the removal of
the worms. By a feather moistened
with turpentine swab out the wind
oipe.
Reasonable Proposition.
A good road between every farm
and market is a reasonable and worth
while proposition.
Crushed Oats for Horses.
There is no doubt that crushing the
oats fed to all horses is far the most
economical way of feeding them. Any
thrifty farmer can well afford to own
hia own crusher.
Prevent Chuck Holes.
Chuck holes in the read multiply If
neglected. Each chuck makes anoth
er. Road patrol prevents the first one.
Servants, Not Masters.
Our country roads should be our
■ervants, not our masters.

uable than gold in weight, is being in

Desired the Pleasure
“Major Rasher, I saw a man todaf
who would like the pleasure of klckin|
you,” said a friend.
“Kicking me!” exploded the major.
“Kicking me! Give me his name at
once!”
“I hardly like to tell you,” said the
other.
“I insist upon knowing,” said the
major.
“Ah, well, I'll tell you,” said the oth

Banishing Onions’ Odor.
The disagreeable smell which onions
leave on pots and pans can quickly lie
removed by washing and drying the
pans, scouring with common salt and
placing on the stove until the salt is
brown. Shake often, then wash the

Important Stock Function.
It Is an important function of live
stock on the farm .0 furnish a market
for the crops grown, enabling farmers
to convert the grasses, forage crops,
legumes, and so on, into higher-priced
finished products and to return to the
soil the plant, food taken from It.
GOOD VENTILATION FOR HOGS
Frequently When Shed la Closed Anl
mala Become Heated and Must
Inhale Impure Air.
Of little less Importance than th«
ventilation of this year’s crop of corn
is that of securing proper ventilation
for the animals that eat it, according
to the Nebraska College of Agricul
ture. This is particularly true ot
hogs
Frequently when the shed is closed
tightly the hogs will become heat
ed, as well as be obliged to inhale
impure air. Such hogs, on being ex
posed to cold air, are likely to be
come susceptible to disease, esp*
chilly pneumonia and so-called hog
rheumatism.
FREE RANGE FOR CHICKENS
Hens Made Happy and Comfortable
and Encouraged to Lay—Free

Of all the good things one can do
for his hens to inake them happy and
comfortable and so induce them to lay
well, nothing is better than to give
free range. If the freedom of the
farm curmot be permitted, at least
fence m as big a field u.s possible and
let the birds roam over it at will.
