Smithsonian Gets First Adding Machine
New-laid eggs can be put down
in water glass at any time, so many
owners of poultry flocks have found
it to an advantage to preserve some
eggs during the high-producing sea
son for use during the months of low
production, according to nutrition
specialists at Ohio State university.
Only clean, fresh, infertile eggs
should be put down in water glass.
Dirty eggs will spoil and, if they
are washed, the protective coating
which prevents spoilage is removed.
Cracked eggs should never be used.
Even minute cracks may cause
spoilage and contamination of the
other eggs in the jar. It is a wise
precaution to candle every egg be
fore putting it into the water glass
solution.
A five-gallon crock or jar will hold
about 14 dozen eggs with room for
at least two inches of water glass
solution above them. The container
should be thoroughly cleaned and
scalded and allowed to dry before
it is used. It is a good idea, too,
to set it where the eggs are to be
stored, as it is difficult to move
safely when filled with eggs.
To prepare the solution, boil nine
gallons of water, then cool. Add
one quart of sodium silicate, or
water glies, which can be bought
in most arug stores, and mix well
in the container. Put eggs carefully
into the solution to avoid cracking
them. Keep at least two inches of
the water glass solution above the
top layer of the eggs.
Evaporation can be prevented by
covering the crock with a tight lid.
This can easily be removed to put
in more eggs. If the solution evap
orates perceptibly, add enough
water to maintain the level. Eggs
preserved in water glass solution
may be taken out at any time. If
they are used for boiling, make a
small hole with a pin in one end
to prevent them from cracking.
Black Leghorns Found
to Be Popular on Farms
The black-feathered sister of the
White Leghorn is becoming increas
ingly popular on thousands of poul
try farms for a number of reasons,
says a poultryman. in the Philadel
phia Inquirer. First, the birds are
extremely hardy and very healthy.
Diseases common to other breeds,
such as white diarrhoea, laying
mortality on account of pickouts
and cannibalism, are unknown in
Black Leghorns. They require no
bloodtesting, no vaccination or cod
dling of any kind, and thousands of
farmers are depending on them for
their living. They lay large white
eggs and lots of them and are the
only black-feathered fowl that
dresses yellow for market purposes.
Their flesh for the table is not ex
celled.
In England they are the leading
breed. At the English egg-laying
contests they have won every point
for several years—most eggs, larg
est eggs, lowest feed cost.

“ A UNT ALMA, there's just one

Outside of that I’m crazy about it,
and I think you’re swell to make

"What’s this, what’s this? If
that isn’t a laugh. Aunt Alma!
Imagine me wanting anybody’s
dress. Why since you’ve taught
me to sow-my-own I never want
anything. I just make it and that’s
that. This sport dress, for in

noon.”

“I think you do wonderfully well
with your sewing, my dear. You’ll
be making my clothes the first
thing I know. I feel especially
pleased with my new spring dress
and I have both of you to thank
for sugges ing this style. It does
right well by my hips, and it’s so
comfortable through the shoul
ders. I guess I should diet but in
this dress I feel nice and slender.
Don’t you see, girls, how impor
tant it is to choose a style that’s
particularly becoming? It’s abid
ing by this theory that gives some
women such enviable chic.”
