DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
Preservation Of Eggs for Winter Use

The greatest secret, then, Of preser.
wing eggs, is to keep the interior in an
uual,ered state. This is best done By
lime-water, in which little common
salt is infused. This constitutes auid
perfectly iudeotruclible by air, and one
that is so allied to the nature of the shell
as not to be absorbed by it, or through
i, into the interior of the egg. On the
other hand, salt or lime in dry state
will act on the moisture of the egg. as
will strong ashus.-This plan, also, will
save m"re eggs in g given space than
any other. 1t will also admit of keep
ing them in cellars ever SO damp, and

Lime.water may he made in the most

1t is probably important that no,bad

to look at them through tube-say a
