Our Farm Wofhen J , ,y Edited by MRS. W. N. HUTT Y 1 -THE SERVICE FLAG DEAR little flag in the window there, Hung with a tear and a woman's prayer; Child of Old Glory, born with a star, Oh, what a wonderful flag you are! Blue Is your star in its field of white Dipped in the red that was born of fight; Born of the blood that our forbears shed To raise your mother, the Flag, o'er headr And now you've -come, in this frenzied) day, To speak from a window to speak and say: "I am the voice of a soldier son Gone to be gone till the victory's won. . "I am the flag of the Service, sir. The flag of his mother I speak for her Who stands, by my window and waits and fears, But hides from the others her unwept tears. "I am the flag of the wives who wait For the safe return of a martial mate, A mate gone forth where the war god thrives To save from sacrifice other men's wives. "I am the flag of the sweethearts true; The often unthought of the sisters, too; I am the flag of a mother's son And won't come down till the victory's won!" Dear little flag in the window there, Hung with a tear and a woman's prayer; Child of Old Glory, born with a.qtar, Oh, what a wonderful ilag you are! WILLIAM HERSHELL. After this I gave a bath to the dogs, O'Sears and 0'Roebuck,and the. house cat O'Tap. . I cleaned out the schoolhouse, scrubbed it out, polished the desks, repaired the heater and chimney and cleaned under the house and off the yards. Then next I gave out lists for finishing painting the school building " and took up $50 and then we finished painting the school house and bought twelve automatic desks for the .school and a library for the school, and next I came home and starched and press ed everything that needed it and decorated the parlor.

What I Did Clean-up Week ($3 Prize Letter) I SCALDED and scrubbed everything auvuy iiiv uuuov auu W UlLC W dSllCU the milk house. I cleaned the cup board and-1 brushed and scalded the ceiling and polished the beds, and I went after suspected bed bugs with gasoline and caution. I polished the piano and re-stacked the books in the library, and next I washed everything about the house where it was needed. I washed the clothes and bed clothes, spreads and lace window curtains, pillow cases and pillow ticks, and next I. cleaned under the house and cleaned off the yards and the lawns and filled up all the. damp places. I freed the poultry and hen-liouse of all vermin, and I gave the children pennies for repair ing the broken fences and tumble down outhouses. cleaned out the smoke-house and repaired the fly screens, and cleaned out the pig pens, the ox stalls and stables and the barn, and raked off the lot and carried trash to the field, and next I cut all the undergrowth in the pasture, and drained out all the mud holes and filled them up. HOME PRESERVING EGGS BY WATERGLASS SOLUTION Our Food Administrators Urge Every Woman to Put up at Least 24 Dozen Eggs Now While Eggs Are Plentiful DY THE use of this process is offer--;ed a means of preserving eggs which are plentiful and prices low, to be used when eggs are high in price. It is cheap, simple, practicable, and is a success if we will follow these sug gestions. Selecting Eggs. Those to be used must be clean, fresh, not over three days old, and ab solutely sound in shell, that is, no . cracked eggs are fit. Eggs can be put in each day, just as we wish and can spare them. This is a great advantage. Container. Any suitable sized earthen ware Jar, galvanized tub, wooden tub or bucket. These must be thoroughly boiled and cleaned before putting the liquid In. Size of Container. Any size can be used. This depends on the number of eggs o be preserved. The following table will help: 1 gallon 40 eggs 2 gallon 80 eggs 3 gallon 120 eggs 4 gallon 160 eggs 6 gallon 200 esss 10 gallon 400 eggs Water Glass or Sodium Silicate can be had at any drug store at a cost of about 50 cents a quart. If the stores do not have it, have them order it for you. Mixture. Use one quart of water glass to nine quarts of boiled water or one part to nine parts. Boiling Water. Water must be boiled at least fifteen minutes and allowed to cool. Mixing Solution. Mix the water glass and water together thoroughly as per above pro portion. Then put the eggs in the bottom of the container small end down and pour the water glass, mixture in until the eggs are covered to a depth of about two inches. As you add more eggs put in more water glass solution. If the mixture becomes jelly like simply add a little, more boiled water. Keep the surplus mixture in a sealed jar, as a fruit jar, to prevent evaporation. Testing Eggs. Use great care by testing every egg before placing in container as one bad egg will, of course, spoil all in that con tainer. The testing is fully explained in your bulletin No. 562 which you have. Where to Place Containers. Containers should be kept In a cool place and the top must be covered with heavy paper to prevent evaporation and keep dirt and dust out. Quality of Waterglass Eggs. They cari be used In any form axcept for poaching. The eggs can be fried, .boiled, scrambled and for general cooking purposes. Before boiling, however, the big end of the eggs must be punctured with a pin to prevent cracking. When you take eggs out of the solution they should be washed in cool water to remove the jelly like solution on the shell. Eggs can be taken out just as they are needed, anoth er great advantage. Selling. Eggs put up in this way can be sold as such and are equally as good as most eggs that are put on the winter market. ALLEN G. OLIVER, Scientific Assistant in Poultry Husbandry.
