THE P%oULTERER.
Preserving Egos.

There Arc several methods BY which eggs
laid in the summer may be preserved until the
followins winter, or even longer, with but lit
tie detfimcnt 10 their flavor. The first impor-
tant requisite is 10 know that the eggs are per
fectly fresh AT the time they are packed away.
The second II 10 adopt some means by which
the pores of the eggshelis can be filled with
some substance to prevent evaporation of their
c~ontents; and Also prevent the introduction of
air within the shell, which is sure to occur
when evaporation takes place, and when tho
\ air In once introduced the action Of the oxygen
contained in II upon tue contents of the shells
produces putrefaction. The third important
requisite is to keep them in as cool a place as
possible after being properly prepared. En-
tcnsive dealers have water-tigbt brick watts
built in the Easements Of their warehouses;.
they then prepare a strong liquor by shaking a
quantity of lime In tanks, hogsheads, or bar
rels, and adding water until 1t is thought TO be
o. sufficient strength. The clear liquor il then
drawn OF and put into the vats into which the
eggs are placed, care being used to see that all
the eggs are covered with the lime water.
Situated in the ha-omeuts and being
built Of bricks insnres a comparatively
low and even degree of temperature. while
the lime water excludes the air. This method
IL doubtless tho best and cheapest for
large dealers, and can be nractieed on a small
scale by housekeepers in the country for their
winters supply, yet there are other methods
by which they can lie preserved and re
tain their flavor much better than in lime
water, which seems to penetrate the shell
sufficiently to give the contents q slightly bitter
taste, not found in fresh eggs, Probably as
good q preseryative method as has vet been
discovered, and one mr. we'll suited TO The con-
venience OF farmers. is to provide boxes of
suitable sizes, small dry-goods cases will
answer well, place them in a cool part of tho
kitchen cellar and put a layer of two and a half
inches OF Liverpool salt upon the bottom Of the
case Gather the eggs every day SO as 10 he
