The story of a return of $274.90 per acre from 16.8 acres of clover in the northern part of the state is vouched for by county officials who claim to have made careful investigation. The land on which this crop was produced is valued at $30 an (reparea acre—or was before this crop was raised. ] higher now. It is probably The point is that tt;ere are thousands, hundreds 9f thou- sands, perhaps millions, of acres of land in Northern Minnesota which is just as good as these 1 6.8 acres. Of course, not all of it could be devoted, profitably, to rais- ing clover seed and clover hay, but it is a slogan of that region that “clover is a weed,” and with the present and prospective demand for hay and clover se: ed for the raising of hay, the policy pursued by this Baudette farmer cannot be much over- done during the next ten years. tion, but there are other crops Of course clover requires rota- suitable for that region, pota- toes. especially, which produce pretty nearly as well when properly cared for. If one were to be asked, what'’s the matter with Minnesota that the development of the northern part of the state has been 8o slow and that millions of acres of this fertile land have not been brought more rapidly into cultivation, he would have to answer that the state policy of backward and undeveloped con Minnesota is to blame for this dition—in other words, Minne- sota herself. We might just as well have a prosperous farming population of a million or two north of the Twin Cities, if we would but adopt a reasonable liberal policy of state develop- ment. We have talked enough about it—some of us realize suf- ficiently how practicable it is—but up to date it has not been possible to secure the adoption -of any effective line of policy. For which unfortunate condition, strange as it may appear to some, the political conditions of this state largely, if not solely, are to blame. Chasing a political rainbow, we got lost about 20 years ago in the mazes of a ridieulus, unworkable primary system, which has mad to formulate and carry out a lin development.. We have no pa: and assume responsibility for state policies. the legislature is committed to e it impossible for us ever since e of policy with regard to state rty organizations which adopt No member of any line of policy affecting the state, or is pledged to support any definite course of action, and the result has been that we have lost 20 years of state develop- ment while, at the same time, drifting into other dangers which can be averted only by making men elected to office responsible to an intelligently directed organization. It may be like a curious p reform our primary election law the state as it ought to be. 0 roposition, but we have got to before we can hope to develop CARDINAL MERCIER THANKING AMERICANS. ; _One of the most interesting characters of the war is visit- ing in America, Cardinal Mercier of Belgium, who has come to the United States to persona country’s part in saving Belgi enemy. lly thank the people for their um and civilization from the Cardinal Mercier is a Walloon, and was archbishop of Malines until 1907, when he became cardinal.

Experiments in preserving eggs con- ducted by the United States depart- ment of agriculture in the past year obtained best results from a 10 per cent solution of water glass—that is, one part -of commercial water glass added to nine parts of boiled water. Good results were obtained with a slightly weaker solution, using one part of water glass to 14 parts of water. Better results were obtained when-the water was boiled than when unboiled water was used. Earthenware Jars Best Containers. In a test of different containers the earthenware jar gave by far the best and most eatisfactory results. Soft- wood containers, such as candy pails, did not give satisfactory results, while hardwood containers, such as kegs used for cider and other bever- ages, gave much better results than the softwood pails, but did not begin to compare with the earthenware crocks, Even the hardwood kegs gave considerable trouble on account of leakage, and had to be watched con- stantly, which made them unsatisfac- tory. Galvanized metal containers similar to new garbage pails were also used with success, but were not quite so satisfactory as the crocks. Tests with solutions other than wa- ter glass were made, and limewater, both with and without salt, gdve sat- Isfactory results. Where unslaked lime is more readily available than water glass the limewater method is' an excellent one to use and is cheaper than the water glass. Tests in which the eggs were coated with wax and sonp and other coating material did not give nearly so satisfactory results 88 when the eggs were kept in a solu- tion. Directions for the use of -water glass and limewater are as follows: 1. Select a five-gallon crock and clean it thoroughly, after which it should be scalded and allowed to dry. 2. Heat a quantity of water to the bolling point, and allow it to cool. 3. When cool measure out nine quarts of water, place it in the crock, end add one quart of sodium silicate, — among which are the following: Gasping, startled, gripped audi- ences will greet this story of high society and will talk of it for many a day. It is a daring drama with a tremepduus punch, thrill and shock. The Feast of the Gods, a scene from this production, is a stupendous and lavish portrayal of a wild Bac- chanalian revel of those who don’t care. ) Combined with a theme of dra- matic intensity the truly sensational background of the picture makes it an offering of extraordinary box oftice strengin.

New' York—While- awaiting ar raignment in the 'co_urt of special ses- slons in the Bronx, Frank Fatagano, driver, forty-seven, of 2520 Arthur avenue, the Bronx, was robbed of $20 in the pen lending to the ‘court- room. Fatagano was charged with fail- ure to support two children who were city charges. The amount involved was $47. An acquaintance visited him in the prison pen and gave him $20. When arraigned Fatagano pleaded guilty with the idea of making a par tial payment as evidence of good faith, When he reached for the money it was gone, and he cried out that he had been robbedyin the court- room. Willilam Cullen, clerk of the court, quieted him and Justice Daniel F. Murphy, who was presiding, ex- claimed: “The morale of the jail has gone to pleces; there are evidently some thieves around here.” Fatagano was paroled and received time to make the payment for the sup- port of his children.

This will be sufficient to preserve 15 dozen | eggs, and .will serve asa guide for the quantity needed to preserve larger numbers of eggs. 4. The eggs should be placed in the solution. If sufficient eggs are not obtainable when the solution is first made, more eggs may be added from time to time. Be very careful to al- low at least two inches of the solu- tion to cover the eggs at all times. 5. Place the crock containing the preserved eggs in a cool, dry place, well covered to prevent evaporation. Waxed paper covering the top of the crock and tied around it will answer this purpose. Limewater Method. Pour a small quantity of water on one and one-half pounds of unslaked lime and when this is thoroughly slaked add five gallons of boiled wa- ter. Allow the mixture to stand un- til the lime settles. Then pour off the clear liquid, add one pound of salt and use this for preserving the eggs, throwing away the sediment in the hottom of the receptacle. Use the same directions as recommended for the water glass for putting the egg: in this solution.. 4 Fresh, clean eggs, properly pre- served, camw be used satisfactorily for gll purposes in cooking and for the table. When eggs preserved in water glass are to be boiled,,a small hole should be made in the shell with a pin at the large end before placing them in the water. This is done to al- low the air in the egg to escape when heated and to prevent cracking. Eggs will keep from eight to twelve months in good condition, but are better up to the sixth or seventh month. Dirty or cracked eggs should not be put into the solution. Water glass costs about $1.20 a gallon, mak- ing the cost of preserving eggs with this material about two cents a dozen for the water glass. Water-glass solu- tion should not he used again the sec- ond year unless it has kept quite clear and no odor or thick sediment has de- veloped. The use of limewater is much cheaper than the water-glass method. WAYS OF TELLING BAD EGGS Heat Will- Ciuse Formation of Tiny Series of Blood Vessels Around Embryo of Chick. (Prepared by the United States Depart- | ment of Agriculture.) The absolutely fresh egg held against the light shows a distinctive pinkish glow of goodness. Let that egg, how- ever, remain-out in the sun or in the summer heat for a little time, and with- in a day or two it begins to show “blood,” a tiny series of little blood vessels forming around the embryo of the chick; or the heat may cause the yolk to go towards the top and shift easily, which characterizes it as a “light floater.” Again, the yolk may mix with the white and make a “white rot,” a con- dition also revealed by the candle. The final stage is the “black rot,” where no light at all can be seen through the egg. The egg has now reached the explosive stage, which makes it such a favorite missile of the average boy. There is, kowever, another type of bad egg which most people would think good for food. The yolk is a firm golden ball and the white a clear liquid. But the white has a greenish color—and the green indi- cates that the egg is full of bacteria— it is a “green white egg.” Kill the Rooster. Every year there is a great and needless loss in the egg trade through allowing the rooster to remain with the hens after the season for chicken hatching has passed. Keep Drinking Vessels Clean. Olean and disinfect (by scalding or other means) all drink dishes, particu- larly those in which milk is given, every few days as a means of prevent- ing disease. - Legume In Rotation.

Chinese gardeners sometimes plant statuettes of tiny men firmly in posts, just like real plants, and then train live evergreens to grow up over these statuettes. The vines thus form a kind of robe for the statuette men, their white faces and hands protrud- ing from the grean leaves. . ¢ v Good Roads Demanded.

B factory, shop or store, will find Chiropractic especially beneficial in relieving the ill effects of over-exertion. This exertion throws the movable vertebrae of the - spine slightly out of position so they press on the nerves and shut off life-giving currents that these nerves supply to: certain parts of the body. Weakness and severe illness in some organ or organs of the body often follows; but generally these spinal defects sooner or later weaken the whole system and the worker becomes tired, depressed, out-of-sorts, and subjct to all manner of illness. i 1t is therefore important that all who do heavy work investigate Chiropractic and learn how it eliminates the ill-effects of spinal defects by vertebral adjust- ‘ments, which remove the pressure from the nerves. Nature then can restore to normal conditions and build up and strengthen the weakened and diseased organs. CHIROPRACTIC (’;‘v‘ THE BETTER WAY_ TO HEALTH is never followed by adverse results. Many run-down, out-of-sorts, over-worked men and women have been restored to health and vigor through Chiropractic (KI-RO-PRAK-TIC) adjustments, without the aid of drugs or knife.
