ALL ABOUT EGGS.


The yolk Of an egg is good substi-
tute for cream in coffee, and will sui.
ice for three cups
Eggs boiled twenty minutes are more
dtgestible than those boiled Ave. This
is because they are dry and meaIy.
To ascertain the quality OF eggs
make cone of stiff white paper, place
the egg In the large end of the cone and
look through the small end toward the
Gun. II the contents look clear, even
though the shell is discolored, the egg
is good; If spotted, it is not.
A raw egg swallowed Immediately
will usually remove fishbone stuck in
the throat The white of an egg is a
good application for a burn. Mix
black ink with the white OF egg and
sponge old black kid gloves to restore
color.
To determine the age OF eggs dis
solve quarter OF a pound of salt into
quart OF cold water and drop in the
eggs one at time. If day old an egg
s.''--~N NSeN'S W VIC UOilOA, IL three Gays
old 1t will float; If more than five days
old 1t will rise above the water in pro-
portion to Its age.
The white Of eggs will froth more
rapidly II cold. A pinch OF salt in
warm weather will cool the whites
when ready for beating. Yolks well
beaten, with little -four sifted over
the top, will last for a couple of days,
but II the whites are wanted to keep
they must be left unbeaten.
