end down, in an intimate mixture Of
one measure of good charcoal, finely
powdered. and two measures Of dry
bran. Eggs thus stored have been
found perfectly fresh and unaltered af-
ter six months
3. French authority gives the fol-
lowing: Melt four ounces clear bees
wax in porcelain dish over a gentle
fire and stir in eight ounces of olive
oil. Let the resulting solution of wax
and oil cool somewhat, then dip the
fresh eggs one by one into 1t so as to
coat every part of the shell. A mo-
mentary dip is sufficient, all excess of
the mixture being wiped off with a cot
ton cloth. The oil is absorbed i'm the
shell, the wax Theoretically closing all
the pores. 1t is claimed that eggs thus
treated and packed away in powdered
charcoal in cool place have been
found after two years as fresh and pal
atable as when newly laid.
6. Paraffine, which melts to thin
liquid at temperature below the
boiling of water, and has the advant-
age of being odorless. tasteless HARM
less and cheap. can be advantageously
substituted for the wax and oil, and
used in a similar manner.
Thus coated and put into the lime
pickle the eggs may be safely stored
for many months; in charcoal, under
favorable circumstances, for a year or
more.
Z. Dry salt is frequently recommend
ed as good preservative packing for
stored eggs, but practical experience
has shown that salt alone is but little
better than dry bran, especially If
stored in a damp place or exposed to
humid air.
8. mixture of eight measures of
bran with one of powdered quicklime
makes an excellent packing for eggs in
transportation.
3. Water glass-silicate of soda-has
recently been used in Germany for
rendering the shells of eggs non-porus.
A small quantity of the clear sirupy
solution is smeared over the entire
surface of the shell. On drying, thin,
hard, CLASSY film remains, which serves
as an admirable protection and substi-
tute for wax, oil. gums, etc. Eggs thus
coated and stored in charcoal powder
Or mixture of charcoal and bran
would keep very long time
10. In storing eggs in charcoal the
latter should be fresh and perfectly
dry. If the eggs are not stored when
perfectly fresh they will not keep un-
der any circumstances. A broken egg
stored with sound ones will sometimes
endanger the whole lot. In packing,
the small end of the egg should be
placed downward; if in charcoal or
other powder they must be packed SO
that the shell of one egg does not
touch that of another, the interspaces
being filled with the powder
Under all circumstances stored eggs
should be kept in as cool a place as
possible. Frequent change of temper
allure must also be avoided.

PRESERVING EGGS.
Some of the Methods Employed for
Keeping Eggs Through the Winter.

Editor National Tribune: Please
give me a good recipe for preserving
eggs.-C. j. Craighead, Bloomingburg,
Ohio.
The following are some of the meth
DDS recommended for preserving eggs
through the Winter:
1. Dip the eggs into a solution of
two ounces gum arabic in a pint of
cold water; let them dry, and pack in
powdered, well-burned charcoal.
Packing Liquid.-Lime, one bush
ed (slaked with water); common salt
two or three pounds; cream Of tartar,
one-half pound; water sufficient to
form mixture strong enough to float
an egg. Used to preserve eggs, which
1t. is said 1T will do for two years, by
simply keeping them in it.
3. In thea common Timing" process
a tight barrela Is half-filled with cold
water, into which is stirred slaked
lime and salt In the proportion Of about
one-half pound each for every pail or
bucket Of water. Some dealers use no
salt. and others add small quantity
OF niter-one-quarter pound to the
half barrelfof pickle. Into this the
eggs, which must be perfectly fresh
and sound. are let down with dish,
when they settle to the bottom, small
quid, SO that when the barrel is full of
eggs 1t is also full of the pickle. Eggs
thus pickled,. IL. kept in a cool place,
will ordinarily keep good for several
months. L01g storage in this liquid,
however, is apt to make the shells
brittle and fmpart a limy taste to their
contents. This may be In a great meas
ure avoided by amounting the egg all
over with lard before putting in the
pickle. Eggs thus prepared are said
to keep perfectly for six months or
more when stored in a cool cellar.
4. A much better method of storing
eggs is the following: Having select
ed perfectly fresh eggs. put them,
dozen or more at time, into a small
willow basket, and immerse this for
five seconds in boiling water contain
ing about five pounds Of common
brown sugar per gallon Of water.
Place the eggs Immediately after on
trays to dry. The scalding water
causes the formation Of thin skin OF
hard albumen next the inner surface of
the shell, the sugar effectually closing
all the pores OF the latter
The cool eggs are then packed, small
