Y. APPLES LOSING PRESTIGE According to an exchange, New York state is fast Icing its prestige as a quality apple state due to rea sons inch are know n to most all of the dealers and packers who are In n rt s.vd as buyeis and shippers of barreled apples. The grading and packing are not uniform, and the fruit is not carefully selected or carefully packed as is the fruit in the West. Too much poor fruit goes into the bar rel that should find its way to the dry house or cider mill. The Western States are fast en croaching upon the trade that New York state once enjoyed. Here is a letter from a large European concern: "New Y'ork state, like the previous seasons, did not give any satisfaction. The fruit was by fat not well enough graded; under one and the same brand there happened to be large ap ples and rather small apples, green apples, to such extent that samples did not give a proper idea of the en lire lot. Until a few years ago the largest percentage of barreled apples imported into Germany and other for- tign countries originated from New Guire, McCarty, Arnold, Howe, Wil York state, and the apples were very I son, Kaesser, Dakin, Vincent and Mc much appreciated on account of fine Lucas. After a dainty lunch was flavor and the good keeping qualities, served the ladies took their departure, Kor sne years New Y'ork state ap ples have steadily lost their reputa tion in consequence of carelessness in Refinishing Marred Furniture IS EASY AND INEXPENSIVE Shabby, scratched pieces of furniture that are unsightly and a discredit to your home can be made to look bright and new at slight ex pense and you can do it yourself.

Give Many Ways of Preserving Egg "Eggs may be preserved for several months by different methods," says Professor James Dryden of the poul try department of the Oregon Agri cultural College. "If put up right In the spring they may be kept till the following fall or winter. They will not be as good, however, as fresh laid eggs. "A method that will preserve the original quality of the eggs for an indefinite period has not yet been dis covered. By cold storage, eggs are put up in large quantities during the spring season when prices are low, but where it is desired to preserve a small quantity for home use the cold storage method is not practicable. "Eggs intended for storage should be fresh and clean. March or April eggs win keep better than May or June eggs. The sooner they are put into storage after being laid the bet ter they will keep. The Lime Method Dissolve a pound of lime In five gallons of water. The water should be boiled previously to sterilize It, and then cooled. Stir thoroughly and let settle. Then pour off the clear liq uid into a wooden or earthen Jar or tub. Fill with eggs to within an Inch of the top of the liquid. This will should not be allowed to get lower than the top of the eggs. When the vessel is filled with eggs cover it with coarse muslin, over which spread a paste of lime to exclude the air. The Water-Glas Method "Water-glass (sodium silicate) may be purchased at the drug stores. Use the liquid form and the commercial grade in the proportion of one part water-glass to eight parts water. Use earthen Jars or wooden tubs or bar rels that are perfectly clean, and store in a clean, cool place. The material used will cost about a cent for each dozen eggs stored."
