CONDENSED EGG.-A process has been devised
by Messrs. Thurgar, Of the Albion Mills, Norwich,
for drying eggs, so that they will keep good for any
length of time This is effected by evaporation The
yolk and white of the egg are exposed to slow heat
and the moisture is thus driven off The whole Is then
reduced to powder and packed up in tins The ma
freely exposed to the air. The powder is used III the
ordinary way as eggs are being mixed with a little
water and is thus an excellent substitute fer milk e
long voyages besides capable of being used for al
