have been preserving eggs since 1894
on small scale. l only had 81 with
which to start. but people are glad to
get a little money on any scale these
days. Last summer / preserved ten
whiskey barrels full OF eggs. They
held 1900 dozen and cost 81 cents a
dozen or $97.5 for the lot. The pre-
servatives cost $3.50, total Sill 90. 1

store for 18cts a dozen, total $270 90
made from the 81 started with in
1894.
This is my receipt: take 80 gallons
Of water, add 8 pounds of salt and 4
ounces Per- Algretta, dissolve the Per
Algretta into two gallons of boiling
water and pour into the cold water.
making 38 gallons IN all. This will
preserve two barrels 600 dozen eggs
putting 10 gallons in each barrel, and
add the eggs as you get them in and
let them stay covered with the solution
until you are ready to sell them. Tell
your druggist you want powdered Per-
AlgFetta It dissOlves best.
Next year will invest my 500 in
eggs and by selling and reinvesting il
all for two years will have over 1900
and with that capital l can clear $1,000
year.
Now, Mr.. Editor. Why can't anyone
do well at this business anywhere. as
eggs are used every where, and always
sell much higher in winter than In
Summer. Hope many Of your read
ers will try this on small scale and
