I In placing eggs in the preservative j /la.afni rtn <*rRek the shells. UC veil W4 Wl UV? ?.? Keep them in a moderately cool room where the temperature may be kept fairly constant. Water-glass?Of the many methods which have been tried for preserving: eggs on a small scale none has proved more successful than the use of water-glass (sodium silicate). This is a very cheap product that can usually be procured at not to exceed 50 cents a gallon, and one \ ' gallon will make enough solution to > preserve 50 dozen eggs, so that the cost of material will not exceed one cent a dozen. Pure water that has been boiled and then cooled should be used. To each 15 to 20 quarts of water 1 quart of water-glass should be added. The solution should be prepared, placed in the jar or other suitable vessel, and the fresh eggs added from time to time until the jar is filled, but be sure that there is 2 inches of solution covering the 1 eggs. The eggs should not be wash- i ed before packing, for washing in- i jures the keeping quality, probably < bv dissolving the mucilaginous coat- < ing. J Limewater,?A good limewater preservative may be made as follows: < Thirty gallons of water, 10 pounds i of salt, } bushel of finely slaked lime, i After mixing thoroughly, allow the < mixture to stand two or three days, i and then remove the clear liquid by f dipping or by means of a siphon. \ Place the liquid in a tub or other ] suitahlp receDtacle. and place the < eggs therein, or the eggs may be i placed in the vessel first and the t limewater poured over them. Have 1 about 2 inches above the eggs. Lim- < ed eggs can be discerned by the i roughness of the shell. 1 Before boiling eggs which have ( been preseryed in the foregoing ] ways, the shell should be punctured i with a needle, btherwise it is apt to < craek as soon as placed in hot water, i owing to the pores being closed. < Salt and Braik^-Eggs can be pre- < flerve^fj^.g^veralflipnthfun dry salt. < I WAP< T T I your wants at ivery day. ;s' Suits lies' C c?

Not only is it i great loss to the farmer to have 520 hogs destroyed by this very contagious disease, but the nation cannot afford to lose the food. Every farmer who raises hogs can aid in preventing a great loss from cholera by keeping the hogs healthy, jive them clean pens, clean water J Wa TKnn fKo Knflffl 1UU LI1C 1IKI1L 11V.U.

It s a neighborhood affair and requires neighborhood cooperation. When iholera appears in a vicinity all hogs >n neighboring farms should be juarantined and promptly treated vith anti-hog cholera serum. Every farmer in the county should know :he effective measures of preventing md controlling the disease. Write to the Farm Demonstration Agent for bulletin. It tells how. Develop Our Live Stock Industry. Necessity for the development of :he live stock industry in the South is an important factor in world readjustment after the war is pointed >ut in the following message received from Herbert Hoover, United States food administrator: "An immense obligation rests up)n the United States to increase live stock production as a vital necessity n winning the war. The reduction )f the breeding herd of meat animals n Europe has become increasingly jerious. The demand on tne uniiea States for meat and other anima) products is, and during the war will rontinue to be, far beyond any previous experience. With the end of the war, large demands will be made apon us for breeding stock, and a continued demand for animal products while her herds recuperate. It is therefore a patriotic service of a high Drder for the owners of grazing lands not now in use to place live 3tock on them. If the Southern CutDver Land Conference results in placing &attle?upon the immense areas 3f unoccupied land in the Southeastern part of the United States.it will ieserve th^gi atitude of the nation".

"Shadow Huns," men who sit in our National Legislature and serve the Kaiser, and "the Huns within our gates," received another denunciation at Johnstown. Pa, last Sunday from former President Roosevelt in an address before the Workingmen's Red Cross celebration. The colonel brought to the several thousand workingmen in his audience the j - * x A : : need 01 true nmericBuiBU] tuiu mc duty devolving upon every citizen of the United States in standing behind the "young men who have enlisted or have been made parts of the national army for the purpose of cutting the German cancer clean out of the world body." Reviewing the remarks attributed to Senator LaFollette in some of the Senator's recent addresses, Mr Roosevelt declared: "You do not find any 'Shadow Huns' in Germany. If in Germany any man acted like LaFollette in this country they would put him to digging trenches. I would send him as a gift to the Kaiser. Let the Shadow Huns go back to their country."
