TO PRJWKRVK VAMH
The department of poultry hus
bandry of the University of Nebraska
recommends the waterglr.ss and lime
methods of preserving eggs.
Waterglass solution Is made In
ratio of one to nine, as follows: One
quart of waterglass or sodium sili
cate to nine quarts of boiled water,
that Is, water that has been boiled
and cooled. Allow about iwo Inches
of this solution over the top layer of
the eggs and place the container in
a cool, dry place with a tight cover
so as to prevent evaporation.
Dissolve two or three pounds of
unslaked lime in five gallons of water
that has previously been boiled and
allowed to cool, and allow the mix
ture to stand until the lime settles
and the liquid Is clear. Place clean,
fresh eggs In a "clean earthenwa t e
crock or Jar and pour the clear linn -water
Into the vessel until the eggs
are covered. At least two inches of
the solution should cover the top
layer of eggs.
Preserve only fresh, clean unwash
ed eggs. Candle or test all eggs for
cracks

The dslry department of the Uni

lowing suasestlons on the handling
of cream In hot weather:
To wash milk utensils, use, first,
cold water for rinsing; second, warm
water containing a small quantity of
good washing powder for cleaning;
third. boll l water for merllisina.
Wnsh the apurntor thoroly after each
separating
lTse a metallic, strainer; it is prnr
tirully impossible to keep rl..th
strainers sweet and rleiin and free
from bacteiln.
Skim the milk as soon after milk
ing as possible, and cool the cream
at once. Skim a cream testing from
if to 45 per cent butter fat. Cream
of this richness keeps best, and at
tbe same time is not so strictly that
M rsnnot be properly stirred and ac
curately tested. By skimming a rich
cream, more skim milk Is left at
home for feed, snd there Is also
smaller bulk on which to pay eipress
charges.
Do not mix new, warm cream with
cold cream until It has been cooled
In the nhotgun enn provided for this
purpose. Keep the cans of crpam In
a cooling tank until time of delivery.
Deliver the cream to the cresmery

50 Better Results Obtained frcw
Trees Delivered in the Fall
- I have been growing and planting trees for more than a quarter of a cen
tury under all kinds of soil and climatic conditions, and I have found that bet
ter results are obtained by at least FIFTY PER CENT where trees are obtain
ed in the Fall in our Western country.
The time to order trees for Fall Delivery is now ; telephone or mail us a
card, and a descriptive (Catalogue of the best trees, both shade and fruit, and
all manner of vines and shrubbery will be sent you.
Select the ones you want and they will be delivered to you with printed
instructions as to how to care for them when the proper time arrives to make
delivery.
The rapid growth in our City Park is positive proof that trees will grow to
maturity here in a very few years if they are planted at 'the proper time and
have been given the proper care and attention. I have cared for these trees,
and am in a position to instruct you so that you can have as good or better re
sults than I had with the park.
Don't envy the man who has fine trees and shrubs around his home grow
some of your own and increas the value of your property several Hundred
Dollars by the investment of a small amount.
A tree has been dug out of the Nursery has a certain amount of work to do
before it can commence to grow in the top, so by procuring the tree in the
Fall it has all of the time from October to April to leisurely do it; consequent
ly the Fall trees are ahead of the Spring ones several months and besides you
are sure that the Fall tree has not gone thru very many hands before it reaches
the planter, while the Spring tree has a chance to go thru the trade, and has
undergone several transfers, so that you do not know how the tree has been
wintered ; it may be physically dead and not show the least sign of it, while
the Fall tree you know has not the time to undergo many changes, and too,
they are just going into dormaey, while the Spring tree is just coming out of
it, making it a more critical time to handle. By all means get them in the Fall
and then you will know how they have been WINTERER.
PLACE YOUR ORDERS NOW DELIVERY WILL BE MADE AT THE
PROPER TIME AND YOUR TREES WILL BE OUT IN LEAF WHILE
YOUR NEIGHBOR, THAT ORDERED FOR SPRING, WILL BE WAITING
AND WATCHING FOR HIS TO ARRIVE.
