II SUND AY MORNING MAY 22, 1921 8 THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON PRESERVIrlG EGGS IN WATER GLASS OR LIME HER IS 111 IN ORDER During the late spring and early bummer eggs usually are abundant aad reasonable in price, and that Is the time to preserve them for use during the winter, when they are generally scarce and the prices high. Fresh eggs, properly preserved, may be kept from 6 to 10 months and be almost as good for all household purposes as fresh - Preaervhijr, rn Water Glaaa ' To preserve 15 dozen eggs in water glass, ' the following direc tions should be followed: (1) Select a 5-gallon crock (earthen or stone) and clean it thoroughly, then scald and allow to dry. (2) Heat 10 to 12 quarts or water to the uoiilng point and al low it to cool. (3 When cool, measure out 9 quarts of water, place in the crock, and add 1 quart of sodium silicate (commonly called water glass), which can be purchased at almost any drus store. Stir wellj so that the solution becomes thor oughly mixed. The solution I'.ius prepared Is ready for the eggs, which may be put in all at once or from time to time as they are obtainable. Care in the jar not to crack or break the shells; also make sure that the solution covers the eggs by at least two inches at all times. Put the croc containing the preserved eggs in a cool, dry place and cover with a tight lid or waxed paper to prevent evapora tion. To preserve a smaller or larger number of eggs, the solution " ' 4 Economical Family Vehicle The Harley-Davidson Motorcycle with sidecar provides .the family with comfortable, reliable and economical transportation and much pleasure. .

I reserving With Lime Solution If water glass is not obtainable, lime may be used. It 1s not con sidered so good as water glass, as in some instances eggs preserved by this method have tasted slight, ly of lime, although at other times limewater has proved entirely satisfactory. To preserve with lime, dissolve 2 pounds of unslacked lime in a small quantity of water and dilute with 5 gallons of water that has previously been boiled and cooled. Allow the mixture to stand until the lime settles, then pour off and use the clear liquid. Place clean, fresh eggs in a clean earthenware crock or Jar and pour the clear limewater into th vessel until the eggs are covered. At least two inches of the solution should cov er the top layer of eggs. An Infertile Ejcg An infertile egg is one laid b a hen that has not been with a male bird for two or three weeks and the germ cell of which is not fertilized. The length of time va ries somewhat, but ordinarily al! eggs will be infertile after the male has been separated from the flock for from two to three weeks. II the. germ cell of the egg has not been fertilized the egg will not hatch, and it is impossible for a blood ring to form in such an egg when exposed to heat, which so often happens with fertile eggs. Infertile eggs will keep much lon ger than fertile ones, and are best for all purposes except hatching. Eggs for preserving should be fresh and clean and if dirty should not be washed before preserving as this removes the coating from the egg shell and they will not keep. Real dirty eggs should not be preserved at all. I'ftlng Preserved Ecg Fresh eggs preserved according to these directions will usually keep from six to ten months and can be used satisfactorily for all purposes in rooking and for the table. If. however, preserved eggs are to be boiled, a small hole should be made with a pin in the larger end of the shell before placing them in the water, to al low the air in the egg to escape when heated and thus prevent cracking. TO SELECT THE HEAVY PRODUCING HEN TOLD SIMPLY The Single Pen and the Trap Nest Methods Are the Only Sure Ways, According to the Men Who Make Life Studies in the Poultry Breeding Industries. Twenty years ago the writer advocated the use of trap nests as the only sure way of detecting the good and bad layers in the flock. Since that time many systems have been put forward claiming to pick the heavy layers from the drones all have a certain value but only one. the tingle pen system, has any real value In recording egg production from individual hens. In the early days we had "a trap nest boom." The boom con sisted of hundred of articles rel ative to the subject of the identi fication of the Individual layer. The numerous advertisements soon claimed to have stock for sale with high trap nest records but the "boom" was mostly on paper, for farms at that time with trap nest outfits were few and far between. The erudeness of the trap nests then in vogue bad little to do with their non-success. Their non-success was their non-use. Since then hundreds of poultry keepers have found trap nesting to be the only practical way of picking the layers and drones. The most that can be said against trap nest methods is the extra labor ft Involves. The trap nest is now quite com mon In use. It Is a simple me chanical device by which the hen, when she enters to lay locks her self In. When she Is released the number of her 'leg band Is taken and generally recorded on the small end of the egg. The reason it is put on the small end Is be cause in hatching this end la not likely to be broken. There are even today very few breeders who know the exact per centage of every bird In their flocks. They know from what particular pen on mating the bird comes from, bat they cannot tell from which hen In the breeding pen the particular chicks come from. Thia can only b e done by pedigree breeding. Some breeders trap nest for the period of early production and again in the period of low produc tionfor the purpose of flock im provement this will suffice but (or advertising records the full year must be taken. with the dawn of the trap nest came the recognition of the "200" egg hen. That she had existed for some time there can be no deny ing. Tne same may be said today of the "300" egg hen. Tnere can be no donbt that the "200" errer was a discovery that can be credited to the trap nest but not quite entirely so with the "300." She Is the single pen pro geny of the "200" egger and the trap nest. Poultrymen generally, at that time had but a limited knowledge of the laws of breeding for egg production (Trap nest methods were In use by a few now wel' known breeders, over 20 years ago in cngiana) ana it was but nat ural that the actual discover ot the "200" egg hen should at once suggest their use as breeders foi the purpose of increasing the productive ability of the domestic hen. In theory this is sound, but like produces like only in a limited degree Mendel's law exnlain this. Thus we can select our heavy eg producers, mate their progeny and get high producing stock; but nature steps in and calls a halt. It Is the persistent layer that we want la our laying flocks, more so man the phenomenal high pro ducer, for it has been proved that these high producers are not fit for the breeding pea. One of the uses of the fatureTor the single pen and trap nest, will be to en able breeders to "eull" the "300" egg hen and to keep her out of the breeding pen. The trap nest has been the means of detecting the hens that lay sterile eggs, mis-shapen eggs and thin shelled and small eggs; also of discovering the hen that is constantly broody. Where trap nest methods In volve labor that cannot be spared, the single pen system should be used. It pays to know the quality of your breeding stock.

I gave her the slightest casual lOd Of the had Wont rn ik Iha particular point I was clinching i nere as nothing else on my mind. Then asking my pupil i m copy certain outlines from the blackboard, I slipped out of ths room to find Miss Dean impatient lv waiting by the head of the stairs. "Alice wants me to tell you that little Milly is in Kenny's of fice, and intends to Join us at lunch," she said hurriedly. My face must have shown rav consternation, for Miss Dean gave a little short laugh. "Pleasant prospect, isn't it?" she asked. "But I don't think she's in a dangeroug mood today.

There was a touch et conscious ness in the droop of her eyes, run ning through the carelessness ot her words and a tiny, self-satisfied smirk at the corners of her mouth which gave me an Instant's revelation of her meaning. She. Intended me to infer that she was the object of Mrs. Stock bridge's jealousy. I eaid cynically to myself that it was a distinction to which sh was quite welcome, even as I smiled non-coramittally. made a swift, practical calculation. "If she stays for lunch with "3. we ought to get in something 'ei tra in her honor." I suggested. "Sure, that's what Alice thought," Mt Dean rejoined. "You'll be off duty in another half-hoar for a few minutes, won't you? Alice thought perhaps you wouldn't mind telephoning for Ice cream for the crowd. Oi course we ll all chip In." "I will attend to it." I replied laconically, with a swift dismayd recollection that the telephone was in Mr. Sforkbrldgp's nTT.r. where no doubt his wife was sit ting.

Of course you can't be expected to gloat that way, for you live at home, but if you boarded!" Her voice and face hinted at culinary horrors untold, as she turned and went down the stair way, leaving me to gather myself together in order to face this un expected dilemma, that of meet ing cordially over the teacups a woman whose jealousy of me had led her to an actual attempt upon my life Of what was Kenneth Stock bridge thinking, to allow her to do such a thing? I asked the question of myself angrily, re ceived the answer to it unexpect edly, when a little later I went down to the principal's ofifce to telephone for the ics cream. Milly Stockbridge was sitting in her husband's accustomed chair, swinging one foot and appearing exceedingly well ratisfied with herself and all the rest of , the world. Mr. Stockbridge was no where to be seen, and one of the older teachers, a woman who had been in the school as long as Al ice Holcombe herself, looked up at me a bit uneasily as I entered. MiUy Stockbridge's eccentricitfes of temper were so well known that even those who wers not in the secret of her insane jealousy were generally a bit nervous when in her pretence. "Oh. Mrs Graham, how do you do?" Mrs. Stockbridge rose to meet me, greeted me, erfuslvely. "I pi having such a lark. Ken neth telephoned me that he had been called away unexpectedly to another village some accident to a ortncJiml friend of his and wouldn't be home to lnnch, so as t nau an extra big salad and - cake all ready for lunrh I thought I'd just bring them over and sur prise you girls." "How kind of you!" 1 said with as much enthusiasm as I could muster, for with the knowledge that her visit to us wag without her husband's knowledge, I could not help but wonder just what particular mischief was brewing in her brain. (To be continued) REAL MYSERY Mayor Voore of Philadelphia said at a dinner: "Of course, if the government will spend enough money, it can enforce prohibition. That is bound to be a hard job, though. Some of our most law-abiding citizens refuse to take the prohi bition law seriously. "They are like the chap whose cellar was searched by a prohibi tion enforcement officer the other day. J" 'There are hundreds of empty whisky bottles in your cellar," the officer said. 'How did they get there, friend? "'Blest if I know!' And the owner of the cellar gave a hearty laugh. 'Blest if I know! I never bought an empty whisky bottle in my life'." The LANG TV MS I i ri Best Range in America For wood only and the only steel range mane with a 26 inch oven.
