Keeping Eggs,

have been recommended, some of which
have been successful, others not.
As our readers are doubtless well aware
the pores covering the whole surface of ege
shells are very numerous. An examination
with the naked eve will disclose multitudet
OF little iudentations, which, or close sur.
uey with q magnifying glass, prove to be
pores which penetrate through the shell.
Through these the BIZ finds access to the
contents OF the egg, and, evaporating them
20 certain degree. permits further en-
trance of air until sufficient is introduced TO
commence decomposition. Manifestly, the
remedy against this is to close the pores
with some substance impervious TO air
Lime water Is often recommended, but this
cannot Iwsys be relied upon: neither can
salt water, varnish, nor partial boiling of
the glbumen nearest the shell, which last
plan Is the most often suggested by writer's.
We have Tried it faithfully, and have found
that the eggs spoil nearly as soon as they
would had they not been so prepared.
The plan which we have found to be most
effec,ual is to cover the entire shell with
tallow, which being melted penetrates their
pores thoroughly, ard then hardens sudden
II. Lard, oil, and butter answer the pur
pose for a short time, but they do not remain
permanently on the shell, and as soon as
they have dried off. evaporation of the egg
commences.
