Preserving Eggs.
The war is undoubtedly go
ing to make all food stuffs ex
ceptionally high next fall and
winter. Everyone should plan
now on how he can reduce the
cost of living for the next year.
Eggs at the present season are
one of the cheapest food stuff
on the market but they will not
l?e so for long as eggs are al
ready beginning their climb to
winter high prices. Every house
holder can buy and preserve
eggs now while they are low in
price and use them at home
next fall when eggs are scarce
and high. Naturally the hen
lays a larger number of eggs at
this time of the year and pric
es are always much lower.
Prices are running from 8 to
10c higher than this time last
year, which would indicate that
eggs will be much higher next
winter than they have ever
been before.
....Water Glass Method. ..Eggs
can be preserved at home by
placing the eggs in what is
known as water-glass, which is
the solution of Sodium Silicate,
The value of the water-glass
for preserving eggs was discov
ered some years ago by a Ger
man Chemist. Ont part of
water-glass to 10 parts of wat
er should be used. The water
should be as piire and clean as
can be obtained and should be
boiled, mixed with the water
glass and allowed to become
thoroughly cooled before the
eggs are placed in it. The eggs
should be kept in a cool dry
room away from the rays of the
sun and where the temperture
does not rise high during the
summer. A cellar is the best
place. The higher lhe temper
ature, the greater the change
that will take place in the eggs
Only eggs that are known to
be fresh should be preserved
A stone jar that will hold about
15 dozen eggs makes the best
receptacle. The eggs should
be placed in the container daily
as gathered, placing the large
end of the eggs up so that the
air cells will not become brok
en. The solution should then
be poured over the eggs until
they are entirely covered; the
liquid should come two inches
above the eggs and be kept so
and the jar should be covered
so that evaporation will not
take place.
Eggs should be preseiwed
during the months of March,
April and May. Eggs gather
ed after that time will not save
well, although the period of
preservation is shorter. Eggs
should not he preserved from
hens in flocks where the male 1
birds are running with the hens
such eggs are fertilized and do
not sate so Well. Only clean
eggs should be used. Eggs
that are to be preserved should
not be washed, as washing in
juries the keeping qualities by
removing the muciginous coat
ing or bloom from the egg. This
coating helps to preserve the
egg.
Eggs preserved in water
glass are of nearly as good qual
ity, if properly kept as the 1
fresh egg, especially for cook
ing purposes. Eggs can be pre
served in this way at co:J; of IVa
to 2c a dozen, according to the
number preserved. When pre
served eggs are to be boiled
the shells should first be pierc
ed with a needle as the preser
vation seals the pores of the egg
shell and boiling will cause the
contents of the egg to expand
and burst if the shell is not
punctured.
Lime-Water Method. Lime
water also can be used with
fairly good results. Take 1
pound to 2 pounds of freshly
slaked lime and mix with 5 gal
lons of water. 'Stir it well two
or three times a day for several
days, until the whole forms a
milky fluid. Then add 1 pound
of salt an stir well, after al
lowing it to stand a few hours
and settle, dip or siphon off the
upper liquid into the tubs, jar
tanks, or so forth that you have
placed the eggs in. The liquid
should come three inches a
bove the eggs and the eggs
should be kept covered with the
liquid. ,
The eggs When taken out will
have a rough coating of lime on
them and do not look so attrac
tive as those preserved with
water-glass.
The general precautions men
tioned under the first method
apply here also.

LOST—A BOY.
Not kidnapped by bandits ami hidden away in a cave to
weep and starve and rouse a nation to frenzied searching.
Were that the case, one hundred thousand men would rise
to the rescue if need be. Unfortunately, the losing of the
lad is without any dramatic excitement, though very sad and
very real, The tact is, his father lost him! Being too busy
to sit with him at the fireside and answer his trivial ques
tions during the years when fathers are Jie only great heroes
of the boys, he let go his hold upon him. Yes, his mother
lost him. Being much enurossed in her teas, dinners and
club program, she let the maid hear the boy say his prayers
and thus her grip slipped and the boy was lost to his home.
Aye, the church lost him ! Being so much occupied with
sermons for the wise and elderly who pay the bills, and hav
ing good care for dignity, the minister and elder were un
mindful of tli? human feelings of the boy in the pew, and
made no provision in sermon or song or manly sport for bis
boyishness, and so the church and many sad hearted parents
are now looking earnestly for the lost boy. —Author unknown
HOME.
Our nature demands home. It is the first isseniial element
\of our social being, which cannot be complete without the
| home relations. There would be no proper equilibnm of life
i and character without the h/bme influence. The heart, when
j bereaved and disappointed, naturally turns for refuge to
home life and sympathy. There is a mother’s love and a
father’s influence, the loving brother’s and sister’s. Ob,
what is life without these? Our habits, too, are under the
moulding power of home. Every young woman should feel
that just what she is at home she will appear abroad. If she
attempts to appear otherwise, everybody will soon see thru
the attempt. All the duties and labors if home, when right
ly understood, are so many means of imp-ov ment. To love
home with a deep and abiding interest, with a view to its
elevating influence, is to love truth and light, geaven and
God. The grand idea of home is a quiet, set u led spot,
where loving hearts dwell, set apart ami deduated to im
provements. (fib "*** • -
MOTHEF’S LIFE.
One of our valued exchanges most truly s;;vs your moth
er’s life has iwt been easy. Your father was a poor man,
from the day she married him, stood by his side, fbdit'ngr as
a woman must light. She worKed, not the eight or ten-hour
day of the union, but the twenty-four hour day of the poor
wife and mother. She cooked and cleaned and scrubbed and
patched and nursed from dawn until bedtime and in the night
was up and down getting drinks for thirsty lips, coyering
restless little sleepers, listening for croupy coughs. She had
time to listen to your stories of boyish fun and frolic and
triumph. She had time to say the things that spurred your
ambition on. She neyer forgot to cook the little dishes you
li <ed. She did without the dresses she needed that you might
not be ashamed of your clothes before your fellows. Re
member this now while there is yet time, while she is yet
Hying, to pay back to her in loye and tenderness some of the
debt you owe her. You can never pay it all,
Give the children work as well as play. An idle person is
neither a benefit nor an ornament. Let the children learn
music. It is a great charm in a family, and that, in connec
tion with books and instructive games, will make better chil
dren and will make them like to stay at home, ,
