The Golden Rule 
—good ethics and good business 
Y ES, Sir! Success in our line isn’t some- 
t 
thing we can grab — we must build it. 
We aim to prosper right here in this com¬ 
munity of people who drive motor cars. 
We need their good-will. 
“We don’t try to unload a new battery 
on any man who comes in here with a 
lame one. No, Sir! We give our patrons 
exactly the kind of service they would want 
if they could know batteries inside and out 
as we do. That’s the way we build up their 
good-will.’’ 
The USL Man does not assume that your 
battery is worn out just because it has begun 
to fail. He will open it up so you can see for 
yourself how the plates or separators look. 
If the plates are sound enough to warrant 
a repair, he will put your battery in first- 
class trim and guarantee his work for eight 
months, but he will not do this unless it is 
more economical for you than it would be 
to purchase a new battery. 
But the day will finally come when your 
old battery has lasted as long as the best 
battery-skill can make it last. Then, and 
not before, the USL Man will sell you a 
new USL Battery—the one with the durable 
Machine-Pasted Plates, which comes from 
the factory “Dry-Charged’’ so that you get 
it factory-new. 
So if you have trouble with your automo¬ 
bile battery andit needs 
either recharging or 
repairing, go to your 
nearest USL Man and 
enjoy real Golden Rule 
Service.

Experience in Keeping Water-glass Eggs 
It was about .Time 1, 1914, that I 
moved my household go d.s from Hart¬ 
ford, Conn., to a town in the extreme 
western part of Massachusetts, 65 miles 
distant. We had about 15 dozen eggs in 
water glass in stone jars that had been 
put down the previous year in April and 
May—nine parts water to one part water- 
glass, water boiled before mixing. They 
were very good one.;, and we decided to 
take them with us. I took the eggs out 
of the glass with my bare bauds, put 
them into a pail to drain for about 15 
minutes, then put them into a half of an 
egg crate, placing them iu the standard 
cardboard fillers that came with the crate. 
This nearly square half crate was set into 
the top of our refrigerator (no ice) as 
it stood in the freight car. and the eggs 
went 'by freight with our other goods. 
The goods arrived at the depot iu Massa¬ 
chusetts iu a few days, and I took the 
eggs out of the crate and put them into 
a fresh solution of water glass made like 
the first, and using stone jar. Please 
| note that these eggs had been out <>f the 
water glass just, one week, and had made 
a journey of 65 miles or more in a freight 
car in Tune, also a mile and a half by 
wagon, when they were again put into 
■ the water glass and set iu the cellar at 
the farmhouse. We used up these eggs 
on our own table, and found them of 
exactly the same quality and appearance 
l as those of the same lot used iu Hartford 
1 that had never been out of the water 
glass solution. We did find two or three 
eggs with slightly cracked shells that were 
turned dark inside, evidently from the 
glass leaking in the crocks ou the shell. 
Outside of this there was no loss. 
In September, 1919. we moved from 
Hartford. Conn., to Springfield. Mass., 
and moved about 28 dozen eggs that had 
been put down in water glass between 
June and September, putting down a few 
at a time as we could spare them from 
our little flock of 11 White Leghorns. 
These were put into the cardboard fill¬ 
ers of a standard egg crate, and. of course, 
nearly filled it. They left Hartford for 
Springfield by a motor truck, and the 
eggs were put into the water-glass solu¬ 
tion iu less than two days after removal 
from the glass at Hartford. We are 
using these eggs now. and they are all 
right. The water for this last solution 
was not boiled', as we bad no stove set 
up at that time. 
A friend of mine, after hearing of my 
experiment of 1914. moved some eggs in 
same way from Hartford. Conn., to 
Springfield. Mass., and reports that he 
cannot see but the eggs arc just as good 
ns if they had never been moved; had not 
even found a cracked one yet. We have 
made it a practice for several years to 
bring up a dozen glassed eggs from the 
cellar, wash off the glass, and set them iu 
the pantry to be used as wanted. It has 
often happened that some of them would 
stand there a week before being used, but 
no change has been found in their good 
quality. We do not often boil the glassed 
eggs for breakfast, usually have the 
strictly fresh. For cooking in any way 
except boiling they seem equal to fresh 
ones. For making frosting the whites of 
glassed eggs are better than fresh ones-. 
There seems to be a notion widespread 
that water-glass eggs cannot bo kept but 
a very short time after they are oner 
taken out of the glass without their spoil¬ 
ing. A number of mv friends preserve 
eggs iu water glass, but so far as I know 
not one lias ever Lad one egg spoil by 
standing too long after leaving the gins-. 
If some It, X.-\ render has had glassed 
eggs spoil, let us hear from them I be¬ 
lieve the above-mentioned notion is ouly 
founded on hearsay. i r.DOX v i kencu.

King Vendating System in Henhouse 
Me b;ar much about the King venti- 
InHag system in barns. I am about to 
budd a poultry house 14x40, using cement 
blocks for sides and ends, and cement 
floor; gable roof about eight feet high at 
center. Can I make the King system 
work out in this house? I have never 
seen this system advocated, but it would 
seem to be the ideal way if it could he 
made to work. w. L. I,. 
Ohio. 
The King ventilating system does not 
appear to be well adapted to poultry- 
house construction, possibly because of 
the greater proportion air space given 
hens over cattle and t difficulty in 
securing enough heat from tic animals’ 
bodies to insure a change of air through 
the flues used iu the King system. Even 
in the dairy barn, well filled with cattle, 
(lie construction of flic building must be 
good and the ventilating system installed 
with considerable care if it is to prove 
satisfactory. No method of ventilating 
a poultry building has yet been found 
superim in resv ,fe to tlie open front. 
If you wish 560 square teet of floor 
space in your proposed poultry-hou.-c I 
would suggest that you build it 2Ux_ ; ? 
I feet in size, instead of 1 1x40 feet. You 
! will thus save 12 lineal feet of expensive 
wall construction and will have a better 
I proportioned building for its purpose. The 
more nearly square a building of given 
floor space the less material used in i^ 
construction. Deep buildings, too, have 
many other advantages over the very nar¬ 
row ones formerly thought desirable fof 
housing poultry. This is particularly 
true where the opeu->front type of ven¬ 
tilating is practiced. m. b. d.
