Preserve Eggs Now (Experimental Farms Norte) The indications are that eggs will bo dear next winter, dearer titan they were last winter so those who want eggs had better put some down now while they are comparatively cheap. IO notuse oats, bran, n saIt or sucU mediums ,mo moreover the pa- tent tont pre ervative s usually a,dv r irod as being so simple and effective had better be adopted with caution Better use something that has been tried and found satisfactory. According to Dr. Frank T. Shutt, Dominion Chemist, lime water Is one of the best preservatives and we quote the following from bis Exhibi- tion Circular No, 42, The method of preparation is 11113 - ply to slake one pound of good quick lime with a small quantity of water and then stirs the milk of lime so formed into 5 gallons of water Af- ter the mixture has been kept well: stirred for a few hours it is allowed to settle. The supernatant liquid, te= which is no"saturated" limewater, is drawn off and poured over the eggs, previously planed in a creek or wa- ter -tight barrel. As exposure to the air tends to pre- cipitate the lime (as oarbonate), and thus to weaken the solution, the ves- sel containing the eggs should be kept covered. The air may be exclu- ded by a covering of sweet alt, or by sacking upon which a paste a lime is spread. If, after a time there is any noticeable precipitation of the lime, the lime -water should be drawn or siphoned ole and replaced with a further quantity+, newly prepared. General Precautions Necessar'1ij It is essential that atte.stion lie paid to the following points ; -. 1, That perfectly fresh eggs onl , be used. 2. That the eggs should through out the whole period of preservation be completely. immersed. Although not necessary to the pre- servation of the eggs in a sound con- dition a ,temperature of 40 degrees F. to 45degreesF. will no desist; materi- ally assist towards retaining good flavour or rather in arresting that "stale" flavour so often characteris- tic of packed eggs. Respecting the addition of salt, it must be stated that our experiments -conducted now throughout fifteen seasons -do not show any benefit to he derived there from ; indeed, salt frequently imparts a limey flavour to the egg, probably by inducing an in- terchange of the fluids within and without the egg. Our advie.e is, do not add any salt to the lime -water;.

Whatever is' necessary will be done -we hope agreeably to all concerned. But it must be done." "My idea of economy in feeding is to make a little of the usual neat foods go further by peepariug them with vegetables and cereals." says a distinguished Scoteb dietitian. It is very advisable in hot weather to make a meal of uncooked foods, for example cheese, lettuce, brown bread, or hard biscuits ; or figs, ba- manas, not biscuits, apples, dates, nuts and biscuits. "Growers and shippers of potato- es should see te it that the crop is carefully graded and sacked," sail Mr. Lou. D. Sweet, the potato ex- pert of the American Food. Adminis- tration. Though the crop this_..year is big in botii United States and Canada, owing to the uneven quality of the seed used the crop may also be une- ven and therefore should be the more carefully graded to insure a stock that will keep over the winter, Food is being wasted in Canada and it Is a plain fact that every pound of bread and bacon that is saved in Canada can be eaten in the war ravaged countries of Europe. It is no news to you that the people of France and Britain have submitt- ed cheerfully to an unheard-of re- striction in their food supplies. The people of Canada stands for the same cause ; let us then be determined to help our heroic allies to the finish. After the garden project here comes another suggestion of supreme inter- est : In September on opening the schools all overthe country the tea- chers will teachtheir pupils four things, to conserve wheat, fats, meats and mills and the reason why.' Such suggestion is timelp, being uttered by the advisory committee on Home Economics at Washington. The statistical reports show that the campaign of the kitchen garden has been extensively carried out in the United States. 222 per cent more were planted in 1017 than in any previous year ; that the area planted amounts to 1,175,000 acres more and this garden truck means $350,000,000 worth of foodstuffs. Fat and trimmings are often thrown away from meat holies, es- pecially in the case of families who do not like fat meat. But remember many will eat fat meat in the form of dripping and suet its puddings, who refuse it when cut off the meat. Reports from the West do not give encouraging news of this year's wheat crop. Drought has done great damage in southern .Manitoba, south- ern Saskatchewan, south eastern Al- berta. The Goose Lake Country of Saskatchewan has also been affected. Canada will have to make up for this shortage by substituting other ,Foods for white wheaten bread, The Women's War.

A Difficult Job Messrs. Joseph Wrightson and Jayn- es McKinnon of the sixth of Bruce township accomplished a difficult piece of work the other week,, says the Port Elgin Times, • It will be remembered by many" in the district that the large iron mess on the Catholle church at Formosa was struck by .lightning last fall, and owing to the fire which resulted, fell to the roof of the building, The church officiate were 50010 time look- ing around for men who would ulu1er- take to put the cross beak to its proper place. Mr. J. Wrightson and Mr, J. M'e- Kin).tan went down and took a look at the job. They agreed that they could do the work, and said they would undertake it for one thousand dollars. The church officials accepted theoffer a e and the two mea went to work. '"'lie first thing to be . clone was to get the cross repaired, as it had been broken, 13y the aid of autos' it was conveyed to the Hunter Bridge Co. at Kincardine, there re- paired, and then taken to Formosa, '"'hen the tug of war began. It had to be "put on the steeple, which is over 200 feet from the ground, and the cross weighs 1200 pounds. By the use of scaffolding which reached. up 200 feet and gin -poles beside the church and steeple, the huge cross was' successfully hoisted to its prop- er, position and securely •fastened without accident of anyt kind. The work is considered quite an ac- complishment, since it was done by two men who Sad no previous exper- ience in that class of work. Mr. Wrightson is an expertcarpenter and framer, while Mr, McKinnon is ex- perienced°in cement and bridge work, T Big Revival of Flax Industrg Forty Miles Will be in Operation in Canada Next Winter. Fifty years ago there were 100 flax trills in Canada, ,but at the time the war started three pears ago the in- dustry was almost extinct. At best eight Or nine factories were in opera- tion. The industry has been revived by the war, and during the coming winter there will be 30 or 40 mills in operation. Ontario farmers. have planted 8,000 acres Ibis year to this crop, the uses of which are perhaps more varied than any other known plant, its production offering oppor- tunity for industrial as well as .agri- cultural development. The Dominion Government has established at Ot- tawa an experimental Rax mill for carrying• on investigation work with flax and flax fibre, and the progress being made in the development of this most interesting industry will be shown by an exhibit in the Gov- ernment Building at the 'Canadian National Exhibition. Buttermaking • - on the Farm In Bulletin No. 53 of the Dairy and Cold Storage Branch of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa, Mr. George FI. Barr, Chief of the Dairy Division, in descriptive form deals with the process of buttormaking front the raw milk until' It is ready for the market. He points out the defects sometimes !bund in dairy butter and explains how they are caused. I -Ie tells of the conditions that are necessary. to produce fine - flavoured cream, of advisable methods in creaming and of the use of the separator. He gives statistical tab- les of results of separating at dif- ferent temperatures and at varia- tions 01 speed. He describes what is necessary to get rich cream and the manner in which it should be pre- pared for churning. Ile advises' as to salting and working the hatter and counsels as to the wisdom of care in packing and of using parch- ment paper of good quality. After passing reference to the regulations regarding the. branding of butter, he concludes with some suggestions as to utensils and their care and the way to got the best results in farm dairy work. Blue prints of the plans given can be had from the Dairy and Cold Storage Commission, Ottawa, and the bulletin itself can be had free, either in English or French, from the Commissioner or from the Publications Branch of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa.
