MI. Langworthy in his Introduction
enumerates the sorts of eggs from goose
eggs to shad roe. Attention is called 10
the fact that there are two broad sub
divisions into which eggs may be divided;
those from which the infant bird comes
partly fiedged and to a degree able to
care for itself, as do chicks of the com
mon hen, and those from which the ba-
bies issue naked and helpless against
the assaults Of hunger and cold except
as they are protected by their parents.
as in the case Of sparrows and most Of
the smaller birds of the air.
More nutritive material is needed in
the first sort OF eggs than in the Sec
end, of course, because\a great deal more
of the youngsters life is developed inside
of the eggs.
According to the best information Of
the author. there is very little differ
cnce between the eggs of different breeds

Notwithstanding a decided opinion to the
contrary, has nothing whatever to do
with the contents. In many experiment

tritive qualities, If the hens which laid
them have been equally well fed.
Eggs are classed as among the most
nutritious Of food stuffS. They contain
more water than cheese, but are more
concentrated than milk or oysters It is
true that the flavor Of eggs is affected
by the food of the hens in some such
! degree as the favor of milk is affected
by the paSturage. That is the reas n
why eggs that are perfectly fresh may
not seem fit to be used for any other
purpose than the polishing of the so!es
Of shoes in factories.
Experiments in the digestibiIitv Of
eggs show that hard-boiled and fried
eggs required three and a half hours
Tor digestion, soft-boiled eggs required
three hours, roasted eggs two and one
fourth hours, raw eggs, not whipped.
enc and a half hours. 1t has also been
established that from SO to 81 per cent
OF an egg that is eaten is digested Hard
polled eggs will almost always produce
more disturbance of the even tenor of
the way of the digestive organs than
soft-boiled eggs. Tea, coffee and cocoa
retard the digestion of eggs, but coffee
retards the process less than the 9th
ers."
In the bulletin the following directions
are given as to the preparation of eggs
as food: 0ee'

Illinois,. Using a graniteware steWpan
Oh one quart capacity, one pint of water
was heated over a gas flame; when the
water boiled the gas was turned off and
an egg which had been kept in a. refr;ger-
ator was dropped into the water. With
out disturbing the vessel it was covered
closely and the egg allowed to remain
In the water six minutes. It was then
soft-cooked. AS shown by tests. when
the egg was dropped into the water. the
temperature fell almost at once to 195
degrees Fahrenheit and then SLOWLY to
17O-171 degrees Fahrenheit. If the egg re-
manned in the water eight minutes it
was medium cooked In this case the
temperature of the water at the end Of
the cooking period had fallen to I62-164
degrees.
''Poached or dropped eggs are removed
from the shell and then cooked in water
Thudichum recommends the use of sailed
water to which a very little vinegar has
been added. The reason for this is per-
haps that acetic acid (vinegar) tends to
precipitate albumen; that is, to prevent u
loss due to some of the egg being dissolv-
ed in the water. Flavor may also be one
of the objects sought.
Fried eggs are generally cooked in
fiat pan in little hot fat, oil or butter,
and may be either soft or hard, accord
