SAVE YOUR EGGS
The bottom has dropped out
of the country egg market.
As a result of the price slump,
the farmer is disgusted, the
consumer is happy and the cold
storage man is busily engaged i
in filling his warehouses with j
cheap eggs. If the history of
the , market repeats itself,
these eggs will sell next fall
and winter at two or three
times the price the farmer re
ceived for them.
It is not necessary for the
farmer to sell his eggs for ten
to eighten cents per dozen un
less he chooses to do so. He
can preserve fresh eggs now

and hold them until the price
advances next fall and winter
and get the profit that has al
ways gone to the cold storage
man.
Fresh eggs that are prop
erly packed in a v solution of
water glass can be kept on
the farm six to eight months
without injury to the quality.
In fact the authorities at the
Arkansas Experiment Station
claim that eggs kept 11
months in water glass could
not be distinguished from fresh
eggs. Other experiment
stations have reported similar
results, and hundreds of prac
tical farmers and poultry
keepers have tested the meth
od entirely to their satisfac
tion. , j
The water glass method is
so simple that any farmer, # or
his wife, can follow these ‘in
structions and put up their sur-.
I
plus, eggs without any fear of
the result. The first step is
to purchase the water glass,
which is known to the drug
gist as silicate of soda.
To preserve fresh eggs, di
lute one part water glass with
ten parts boiled water. This
proportion of water glass to
water should be kept in mind
as it is essential that the solu
tion not be made too weak.
Whether one deals in pints,
quarts or gallons, use one
tenth as much glass as water.
Only boiled water should be
used.
Glass jars, lard cans or any
water tight receptacle can be
used for containers. Of
course the containers should
be thoroughly cleaned before
they are used.
The eggs should be collect
ed and put in the solution
without delay. Stale eggs are
worthless for preserving and
the same may be said about
unclean eggs.

Some Facts About
THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Here are authentic figures from the Ford factory at Detroit.
They show you just how many Ford cars and trucks have been
built each month since January 1, 1921 and how many have been
sold to retail customers in the United States.
JANUARY
FEBRUARY
MARCH
Total Production
Produced
29,883
35,305
61,886
Delivered to
Retail Customers
57,208
63,303
87,221
127,074 Total Retail Sales 207,732
showing that actual sales for the first three months of 1921 ex
ceeded production by 80,658 Ford cars and trucks.
April requisitions already specify 107,719 additional cars and
trucks and the estimated April output of the factory and assembly
plants combined calls for only 90,000.
These facts clearly show that the demand for Ford products
is growing much faster than manufacturing facilities to produce
and were it not for the dealers’ limited stocks, which are now be
ing rapidly depleted, many more customers would have been com
pelled to wait for their cars. It will only be a matter of weeks,
therefore, until a big surplus of orders will prevent anything like
prompt deliveries.
If you would be sure of having your Ford car or truck when
you want it, you should place your order now. Don’t delay.
