Select fresh eggs that are Clea but not washed. Use infertile eg it possible. Take nine quarts water that has been boiled and coo ed, and add one quart of crater-gias (sodium silicate), Place the mixtur • in a five -gallon crock or jar. Thi amount of liquid will preserve fif ar,' teen dozen eggs. For larger amounts, s."' mix the solution in the same pr Id portion, Clean the crock thoroughl ed before using. ouI Place the eggs in the solution. I er;the poultry yard has not supplied a y adequate quantity of eggs for im T! mediate use, they may be adde se' from time to time. See that at leas be two inches of the solution covers th to eggs at all times. Place the croc e: or jar in a cool, dry place, well con to ered to prevent evaporation. Wax et paper placed on and tied around th io top of the jar will serve the desire end. f As a substitute for water -glass a this method has proved good: Dis g solve two or three pounds of un e slaked lime in five gallons of urate d that has previously been boiled ant e allowed to cool. Let the mixtur n stand until the lime settles and th r.• liquid is clear. Place clean, fres u. eggs in an earthenware crock or jar t, and pour the clear lime -water into the vessel until the eggs are covered (1 Earthenware crocks are good con- tainers. They must be clean and t sound. Scald them and let them cool k completely before use. A crock hold- ing six gallons will accommodate 18 e dozens of eggs and about 22 pints e of solution. Crocks that are too _.large are not desirable, since they increase the liability of breaking some • of the eggs and spoiling the entire d lot. It must be remembered that the eggs on the bottom crack first and 1 that those in the bottom of the e crocks are the last to be removed for use. Eggs can be put up in smaller crocks, and the eggs put in the crock first should be used first. Inspect the crock from time to time and replace with cool boiled water any water that has evaporated. When the eggs are to be used, re- move them, as desired, rinse in clean, cold water and use immediately. Eggs preserved in water -glass can be used for -soft boiling or poach- ing up to November. Before boiling such eggs take a needle and prick a tiny hole in the large end of the ehelf to keep them from cracking. The eggs are satisfactory for frying until about December. From that time until the end of the usual stor- age period—that is, until March— they can be used for omelettes, scrambled eggs, custards, cakes and general cookery. As the eggs age, the white be- comes thinner and -harder to beat. The yolk membrane becomes more delicate and it is correspondingly ' difficult to separate the whites from the yolks. Sometimes the white of - the egg is tinged pink after very long keeping in water -glass. This is clue, probably, to a little iron which is in the water -glass, but which sloes not injure the egg for food pu.- -;es, Flowers and Chicken:: Chickens and flower gardens have long been considered an impossible combination, but for several years I have been able to rmnbntle the two in a more profitable manner.

As the blooms faded I picked them off and threw them on the ground where the chicks devoured theca greedily. Since' dahlia tubera are used for food in certain localities I knew the blooms could not harm the fowls; in fact, 1 believe they are nourishing and beneficial, The next year 1' increased my dahlia planting, saving all of the tubers the first fall and buying some new ones in the spring. The result is that this chicken yard that form- erly had been far from attractive is now one of the show places on the premises; passersby stop to look at it. So many stopped and asked for bouquets that I put out a sign during the summer: "Frank Lggo and Flow- ers, 2S cents a dozen.'

The Britons Inc keen Lo greet their returning heroes after this • fashion. Nor will they he denied. When, for instance, the Brigade of Guards returned to London after Omdurman in November, 1898, the public gave them such a welcome as tools the authorities completely by surprise. Their coming had been little heralded in advance, and no attempt had been made officially to receive them. Nevertheless the citizens of London cheered themselves hoarse all along the line of route taken by the khaki -clad columns, which in places were hardly able to force a way for themselves through the densely -packed throngs. Much the same thing, too, hap- pened when the C.I.V,'s returned from South Africa two years later. In this case, however, the authorities, warned by their previous experlerce, made laborate. preparations to keep a passage clear for the soldiers, Welcomed by 2,000,000. Vain effort!
