COLD STORAGE OF EGGS.
How They Are Tested and Kept Frssh
for Months at Time.

Cold stortge of eggs is one of tho
greatest conveniences of modern
times, giving housewives eggs In abun'
dance at a season when there would
otherwise be an egg famine, and en-
abling the produce merchant to con-
troll the market the year round. Be
fore this was done there was no GER
tainty of obtaining fresh eggs except
in spring and early summer and spec
ulators were continually arising to
"bull" the market, process which Of
ten met with-abjoc. failure. mo soon
er was the market cornered than hens
all over the country began laying,
said an unfortunate speculator. And
there was no possible way of controll-
ing the hens" he added sadly, Today
the prices of eggs are definitely con-
trolled by the cold storage houses
: The demand seems to be always equal
. to, If not greater than, the supply: It
Is estimated that every five years the
consumption of eggs doubles, and only
the prices. In cold storage houses
eggs may be kept for an indefinite
time as fresh as il they were just laid.
The secret of SUCCESS in this matter
lies in careful sorting and packing Of
the eggs In uniform temperature.
An old picture in the. Dresden gal
lerye represents Dutch housewife
testing eggs" and shows that the
method in use today was in vogue
more than hundred years ago, ex'
cept for the substitution of strong
electric light for the ancient oil amp.
The interior cf the egg is examined
by the glow of light which shines di-
rcctly through it. II perfect ball of
rosy red Is found floating in clear IL
quid in clean shell, the egg is fresh.
If there is a slight vacuum at one end
it is fresh enough for ordinary use, but
not quite so fresh as the first one.
Evaporation has set In, but for cake
making and for many purposes this egg
is better than a perfectly fresh one.
Finally when the egg has dccomposed,
the yolk sticks to the shell; it is stale
and unfit for use, though it may not be
odorous. Eggs which this test shows
to be practically fresh laid may not
have been in the barnyard for months,
while those that have not been prop
erly stored will not bear Gambling"
though they have been laid only few
weeks.
The cold storage houses begin to
store eggs in the month of February,
and stop storing after the month OF
June until cold weather comes again.
In the hot, sultry weather of August
eggs, like all other perishable pro-
ducts, spoil easily, and are usually un-
fit for storage purposes by the time
are brought to market. III al

sequently they are good crop for the

March, they must be started in a good
seed bed In a greenhouse early In Jan.
uary. The seeds may be sown broad:
cast in a bed or by drilling in rows
about three inches apart. The latter

be covered at least one-half inch deep,

half an inch or an inch apart in rows.
In this way they can grow until three

crop of lettuce has been grown and

ton of .well-rotted stable manure

sprinkIing of some good commercial
fertilizer in addition is a benefit.
Nitrate of soda sown broadcast over
the bed followed by q good watering
when the beets are about half grown,
hastens their maturity. ,"
The rows should be made ten or IL
inches apart and the beet plants trans
planted three or four inches apart in
rows. A pointed stick Is q good tool
to use In transplanting. Make q hole
