KEEPING EGGS IN WATER GLASS. 
I put up early last May six dozen eggs 
In a stone jar and 15 dozen in a wooden tub. 
covered, but not airtight ; used one quart 
water glass - to nine or 10 quarts water; com¬ 
menced using them in December and finished 
in March. With the exception of one bad 
egg which was doubtless bad when put in, 
they were all perfect. We intended to use 
them only for cooking, but by mistake they 
were brought in soft boiled one morning: no 
one could distinguish the difference, and if 
they had not been missed a few hours later, 
we would never have found it out. I intend 
to put up another lot about May 1 In same 
proportion, one to nine. The water glass can 
be had at almost any drug store at from 
25 to 40 cents per quart. j. e. h. 
New Hampshire. 
I have used water glass for three years 
now, and can say from experience it is a 
success. I have eggs now that were put in 
the mixture early in the Summer of 1905, 
in good condition yet. I use 10 quarts of 
water; boil and let it cool, then add one pint 
of water glass, mix thoroughly. Put the 
mixture in a 10 gallon crock and it will keep 
all the eggs it will cover; put in one dozen 
or more at a t ime - just as you choose, only 
be sure they are all fresh, and put in as 
soon as possible after they are laid. I keep 
mine in the cellar. I bought my first water 
glass in Rochester at drug store, price 50 
cents per gallon. Have bought it the past 
two years in Geneva. I have never lost any 
eggs, but they are not equal to fresh eggs for 
eating, but are all right for cooking pur¬ 
poses, and better than some of the so-called 
fresh eggs sold in the market. F. E. v. e. 
Ontario Co., N, Y. 
In June, 1904, we preserved 2G7 dozen in 
water glass, all in wooden vessels; 215 dozen 
in fresh pork barrels, the remainder in kegs; 
107 dozen were preserved in water glass one 
to nine of water; 52 dozen one to 12 of water 
glass; 108 dozen one part water glass to 10 
parts water, and kept perfectly. The liquid 
after being used was all put into one barrel 
and last September, 1905, a portion of it was 
thoroughly scalded, and covered eggs that we 
have used through the Winter and this 
Spring, and now, April 7, the women say 
they are perfect for all culinary purposes. 
The water glass we used was in the form of a 
heavy white jelly which flows like cold mo¬ 
lasses, or nearly as thick as syrup. No 
doubt If a thinner product is- used there 
should be less water. Here is what the 
grocers say of them : “Relative to the ship¬ 
ment of 210 dozen preserved eggs which you 
shipped us on the 16tli inst., we are pleased 
to state that we found these eggs very sat¬ 
isfactory in every respect, both in our bakery 
and with our retail trade.” o. h. smith. 
them in a dish beside a fresh one and you 
couldn't tell them apart. The yolk “stood 
up" like a fresh egg. and the egg could be 
beaten tha-u a fresh one. f. s. f.

APPLYING LICE POWDER TO HENS. 
How do you use lice powder on hens? I 
have used “Death to Idee” in a 15-cent bel¬ 
lows, but it almost chokes me, and I would 
hate to get it in my eyes; yet one man can¬ 
not hold a hen and use a big bellows that 
takes two hands to work it. d. j. c. 
We hold the hen up by the legs and 
scatter the powder in the feathers under 
the wings and around the neck and vent. 
Hen’s struggles and flapping will usually 
scatter the powder. There are lice ma¬ 
chines made somewhat like a box or bar¬ 
rel churn. They are closed and turn over 
and over on a crank. The hens are put 
inside with the powder and the turning 
and tumbling gets them well mixed. 
Poultry Scraps Again. —Referring to Mr. 
Cosgrove’s reply to F. C. C., on page 315, 
regarding the use of beef scraps. I tried a bag 
of the brand he mentions, and it was the 
poorest stuff of its kind I have ever seen, 
being full of lumps, shreds of wool and large 
scraps of hide. Moreover, it had a strong 
“sheepy” odor, more disagreeable than that 
of any scrap I ever saw, and the fowls 
did not like it in their food. I have never 
had any digestive troubles among my fowls 
from the use of beef scrap. I keep a dry 
mash mixture, one-sixth beef scrap by 
weight, before them constantly, with hard 
grain morning and night, and hardly know 
what a sick hen looks like. I have used as 
high as 20 per cent scrap in the dry mash 
with no bad results. I feed the dry mash as 
above from the time the chicks are three 
days old, and as long as I keep them. M.v 
fowls are White Leghorns. Perhaps the 
larger breeds are more susceptible to bowel 
trouble, and will uot stand as much beef 
scrap. I have never fed charcoal, nor seen 
any need of it. f. w. p.

THE NEWTON REMEDY CO. f Toledo, Ohio 
I see by my R. N.-Y. a correspond¬ 
ent asks for readers to give their ex¬ 
perience with water glass mixture as used 
to preserve eggs. A year ago, in April, 1905, 
I put down seven dozen eggs according to 
directions in The It. N.-Y. and “The Busi¬ 
ness Hen,” which have proved perfectly sat¬ 
isfactory. I have now only three left of 
the 84; the 81 used have been all right, and 
much more desirable than the cold storage 
eggs, or case eggs. There are some things 
you need to be particular about. I was par¬ 
ticular to put into the water glass each morn¬ 
ing eggs laid the previous day, in a stone 
jar, well covered and kept in a very nice 
cool cellar. If eggs are fresh and cellar good 
there is absolutely no odor even at this time, 
a year after the eggs were put in the solu¬ 
tion. I shall put down the same amount 
this April; the same number in the same 
solution. Perhaps I should say that my eggs 
were infertile. The solution comes in one- 
pound bottles commercial strength, bought of j 
any first-class druggist; to the amount add 
nine parts of pure water. M. f. h. 
Masachusetts. 
I keep a small flock of hens, and last May, | 
1905, (fore part of month), I put down 14 
dozen in a 15 per cent solution of water | 
glass for my own use. I lived in a flat and 
kept eggs in a lard tub in a hall where there 
was a good circulation of air, but warm. 
In August I moved, and bad to put eggs in a 
warmer place, and not so much fresh air. 
Tiie last of January, 1906, I used last of the 
eggs, and as far as I could see they were as 
good then as day I put them in water glass. 
(They will keep longer than that). In all 
of them I found but three or four that were 
spoiled, and they had lieen out of solution for 
10 days. I used infertile eggs, as they are 
liable to keep better, and put them in as I 
gathered them ; only used clean, smooth ones, 
none that had to be washed. It is claimed 
they should be kept in a cool place, but I 
couldn't, hut they kept all right and stood the 
moving. I purchased my water glass at local 
drug store. The water I used had been boiled 
and allowed to cool before I put any eggs 
in. Any number of eggs can he put in at once; 
no danger of breaking by weight. They are 
more liable to float and have to be weighted 
down, as they must be kept covered away 
from air. I put eggs in solution with a little 
wire dipper-shaped arrangement. I consider 
the method a success, and will put down more 
this Summer. I am going to use same solu¬ 
tion I used last year, and add a little fresh. 
When the eggs were used I could break one of

NO REST NIGHT OR DAY. 
With Irritating Skiu Humor—Hair Began to 
Fall Out-—Wonderful Result From 
Cuticura Remedies. 
“About the latter part of July my whole 
body began to itch. I did not take much 
notice of it at first, but it began to get 
worse all the time, and then 1 began to 
get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and 
other remedies that were recommended 
for skin humors, but I became worse all 
the time. My hair began to fall out and 
my scalp itched all the time. Especially 
at night, just as soon as I would get in 
bed and get warm, my whole body would 
begin to itch, and my finger nails would 
keep it irritated, and it was not long be¬ 
fore I could not rest night or day. A 
friend asked me to try the Cuticura Rem¬ 
edies, and I did, and the first application 
helped me wonderfully. For about four 
weeks I would take a hot bath every night 
and then apply the Cuticura Ointment to 
my whole body, and I kept getting better, 
and by the time I used four boxes of 
Cuticura I was entirely cured and my 
hair stopped falling out. D. E. Blanken¬ 
ship, 319 N. Del. St., Indianapolis, Ind.

INSTANT 
LOUSE KILLER 
(Powder or Liquid): 
will make the setting hen and all her 
children happy. It destroys lice on

rose bushes, etc. Instant Louse Killer 
is the original powder louse killer put 
up in round cans with perforated top. 
Be sure of the word “ Instant ” on the 
can—it has twenty-five imitations. If 
you will sprinkle Instant Louse Killer 
on the setting hen and nest, we will 
guarantee the brood will come off free 
from lice ; it is also a reliable disin¬

A Poultryman's Story 
“The proprietor of Woodlands Farm confesses to 
having been ‘ chicken crazy ’ for thirty years.” 
In these words Mr. Lee T Hallock opens the story 
of his great poultry plant in Iona, New Jersey. He 
issues a free booklet telling what he Is doing with 
Single Comb White Leghorns. White Wyandottes and 
Barred Plymouth Rocks. His Leghorn laying house 
is 500 feet long by 20 feet wide, and other buildings 
are in proportion. The year 1900 opened with an 
order for 40.000 eggs for hatching. Everything at 
Woodlands Farm is of the latest pattern, and the 
breeding stock is the best that long experience and 
money can produce. Mr. Hallock wishes to corres¬ 
pond with poultrymen who desire to improve their 
stock. His free booklet can be bad by addressing
