Practical Method of Preserving
Eggs During Hot Months of Sum
mer Season.
Kggs get very cheap in the summer
season, and the producer is reluctant
to dispose of his supply, knowing that
the eggs are forced down In price at
this time for storage. The producers
should and can enjoy the profit of
their eggs. The eggs are bought at
a low figure and placed in storage and
held for the raise of the market. The
producer can do the same thing.
Water glass Is a safe method for
storing eggs. To 15 gallons of water
that has been boiled and allowed to
cool, add one gallon of water, sodium
silicate and stir thoroughly. Pour this
solution in a receptical and keep in a
cool place*. A cellar or basement that
is well ventilated is good.
Place the eggs in the solution as
gathered. Do not allow the eggs to
set around several days before plac
ing them in the solution. Fill the re
cepticles with eggs to within about
two inches of the top, allowing for a
good covering of the solution over the
eggs.
The males should be separated from
the females when the eggs are placed
in storage. Fertile eggs will not keep
in good condition like sterile egc,s.
Eggs that are sterile, gathered and
packed promptly will keep in perfect
condition for several months.
Good recepticles are earthen jars,
50 pound lard cans or five gallon kero
sene cans with tops melted off. Ar
farmer can use thr method as describ
ed above with safety, but he must be
very careful to pack a select article^
Eggs to he parked shotild be can
died, unless know’: to be perfectly
fresh and even then, candling is a
good precaution.

PHILID |
Philip, the Macedonian king, while
drowsy with wine was trying a case
and the prisoner after sentence was
prcuounced exclaimed, “1 appeal.
“And to whom do you appeal?’ in
quired the astonished monarch. “1
appeal from Philip drunk to Philip
sober, replied the prisoner, and the
king granted th request and at a re
hearing gave the prisoner his liberty.
The people drowsy with the wine ol
discord ofttimes pronounce a verdict
on public questions which they reverse
in their more calm and deliberate mo
ments. The next best thing to make
ing no mistakes is to correct them.

Cotton Producing County Large.
In his report to C. W. Watson, state

ed 60 acres in cotton; this year he
has only 40.

ton and this year he reduced those
figures to 500.
“J. B. Lewis of Lake Village, who
last year planted 75 acres over in the
South’s great staple has none this
years. Mr. Lewis says that any small
raise in the price of cotton cannot
justify cotton farming.”
