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 ea»y for
the housewife as it 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 is 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
ta 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 many farmers who have im
proved farm machinery and use the
latest methods in making their crops
have forgotten that it is possible to
make the work of the housewife much
easier by paying a little attention to
the arrangement or 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,
IbHUv ironing board, the roller tray
_anj» aerring table, the home
made snower bath, the scrubbing
chariot, the dustless mop, flreles*
cooler tind many others can be se

THOUSANDS LOST
IN ROTTEN E6GS
Produce Infertile Eggs—Increase the
Food Supply and Farm
Profits.
Extension Division University of Ark
ansae, 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 win root mane
Blood Rings.
Produce infertile eggs because the
infertile germ will not produce a
Mood ring and, consequently, an in
fertile egg will not spoil as quickly
as one that Is fertile. Cook, can, or
pen your roosters as soon as the
hatching Beason Is over. Farmers
are urged to follow the following
simple rules which will cost nothing
hut time and thought and will add a
great deal to the profits from the
poultry:
1. Provide plenty of clean nests;
have one nest for every four hens
and keep the straw clean.
2. Gather the eggs twice daily dur
ing warm or rainy weather.
8. 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.
6. Preserve eggs for the family for
winter use the same day they are
laid; remember, only clean (not
washed), fresh, uncracked eggs can
be preserved.
GALWAY IS REAL IRISH TOWN
Here on Market Days Are Still to Be
Seen the Old Country Costumes
and Customs.
Galway is an Irish town with a
touch of real old Ireland about it.
Here on market days you can still see
the old country costumes—the hard
black cutaway coats of the men and
the red homespun skirts of the women,
who wear soft gray shawls over their
heads. All the country produce is
brought to market, and the rule of “on
ly one price, marked in plain figures,”
lias never even been heard of. Bar
gaining goes on at endless length, and
the purchase of a score of eggs may
take half an hour. Eggs are not sold
by the dozen in Galway.
All sorts of curious things are for
sale in Galway market, brought from
many miles away in little donkey carts
or carried on foot by sturdy old men
who think nothing of a tramp of a doz
en miles. Calves are a staple and
are wrapped up in gunny bags with
nothing but the head projecting when
a shipment has to be made. Peat is
for sale by the cartload, fowls and
vegetables. Most curious of all per
haps is a peculiar seaweed, which is
popular as a salad dish. To the visitor
its taste is rather unpleasant, but, ac
cording to local tradition, it has the
marvelous property of being able to
clear the head of him who has had “a
drop too much.” Galway might work
up a profitable export trade In this
commodity', it has been suggested, if
she understood the science of advertis
ing.
How Houses Explode.
The most remarkable phenomenon
connected with tornadoes is the ex
plosion of bouses, which literally
burst, scattering their fragments in all
directions. Sometimes substantial
dwellings are carried high into the air
and then explode. It is now under
stood that this is due to the fact that
the “funnel cloud” (revolving at a rate
of at least 500 miles an hour) has a
vacuum inside. Thus it sucks up
everything in its path, even emptying
wells. It sucks all the air from around
a house over which it passes, and the
house (a vacuum being thus created
outside of it) promptly explodes, ow
ing to the pressure of the air, at 30
pounds to the square inch, from with
in. The house, in a word, is trans
formed into a bomb.
Magnetio Pole Moves Pendulumwise.
The magnetic polo does not, as has
generally been believed, move in a cir
cle around the geographic pole, but
oscillates exclusively on the Pacific
ocean side. This has just been proved
by Emile Belot, who has presented to
the French Academle des Sciences a
curve representing the motion of the
magnetic” pofe since the year 1541.
The motion of the magnetic pole is
almost a spiral, but its speed varies.
From 1580 to 1765 it averaged 12 kilo
meters a year. For the last 100 years
It has averaged only 8 kilometers a
year. M. Belot likens it to the oscilla
tion of a pendulum, which slows up
as it approaches the ends of its swing.
The period of its swing is about 800
years.
Love Hides the Scare.
"Love covers a multitude of sins.”
When a scar cannot be taken away,
the next kind office is to hide it. Love
is never so blind as when it is to spy
faults; it is like the painter who, in
drawing the picture of a friend, hav
ing a blemish in one eye, would pic
ture only the other side of nls face.
It is a noble and great thing to cover
the blemishes and to excuse the fail
ings of a friend; to draw a curtain
before his stains, and display his per
fections; to bury his weaknesses in
silence, but to proclaim his virtues
from the housetops.—Exchange,

Trial by Ordeal In Early Days.
Trial by ordeal goes back to ear
liest days, and in the Book of Num
bers there is a case recorded of a
Hebrew woman having been required
to submit to a test. Among the Hin
dus the ordeal has been practiced by
fire, by water, by poison or drinking
water in which deities had been
washed, by chewing rice, by hot oil,
by red-hot iron, and by drawing two
images out of a Jar. Livingstone de
scribed the practice as being common
among all negro races north of the
Zambesi, the natives having the great
est faith in its efficacy. And it has not
always failed, or the trepidation of
the criminal before the dreaded ordeal
has frequently betrayed him.
Trapped!
Witness—He looked me straight In
the eye and— '
Lawyer—There, sir, you’ve flatly
contradicted your former statement.
"How so?"
“You said before that he bent his
gaze on you. Will you please explain
how he could look you straight In the
eye with a bent gaze?”
Witness collapses.
Economy.
“I don’t see Piute Pete around here
any more,” remarked the traveling
salesman.
“No,” replied Broncho Bob. “The
leadin’ citizens all chipped in an’
bought him a railroad ticket.”
“Rather generous.”
“Not altogether. We figured that
the railroad ticket was cheaper than
a tombstone."
