have generally been made long in i'd

huge baskets containing the provisions

forth, pater and mater familias in the;
van and the entire band Of children,
relatives and servants bringing UP the

Of carrying the heavy baskets, Of

when they have reached their destina-

Preserving eggs 80 us to have them
fresh and In good condition for several
months ID q difficult matter. Eggs can
be preserved, but when they reach the
market they cannot compete with those
that are newly laid. There is u fresh
ness In the appearance of u newly laid
egg that cannot be counterfeited. and
though eggs may be preserved (prc-
vented from decaying), they will not be
what is termed fresh.
1t Is not so much q matter of process
as in the kind Of eggs. Eggs from hens
not with males will keep three times
as long us those TINT contain the germs
Of chicks. In the incubators eggs that
contained mo- chicks have remained for
three weeks ut q temperature Of To-;
degrees. coming out in condition not
unfit for use In custards and cakes. and
having no Odor, while fertile eggs arc
become rotten rs soon as the germ was
dead. The main point, therefore, is to
take the males out of the yards. as tho
hens will lay as many eggs without,
their presence rs with them, while tho
keeping qualities Of the eggs will be ex.
tended to Il much longer period.
The next point Is to keep the eggs in
Il cool place, such us Il cellar. II they
can be kept at so degrees above zero.
SO much the better, but 60 degrees. or
even 20 degrees, will answer. though
the cooler they are kept the longer they
will keep fresh. Place the eggs on
racks or trays, or in any position whicl,
will permit Of turning a large number
CT once. Turn them half over twice y
week. There arc just the three points
to remember. and they are: First, keep
the eggs cool; second, turn them twice
ii week; third. use only eggs from hens
not with males.
We are aware that there are many
other methods, such rs storing eggs in
lime and salt. placing them In solu-
tiOns, greasing them, etc, but the above
is the best method known, and the eggs
are not stained or changed in appear
ance. No method will answer IL fertile
eggs are used. To be successful, one
should not buy eggs. as a decomposcd
egg among a lot will affect the whole.
and stale eggs will find their way into
the basket despite all precautions whcp
eggs are collected from ncighbors.

to be ut least four score. The lobster

that he was not caught in the usual
