Putting Up Eggs.

query as to putting up eggs in liquid
glass:
The recipe for keeping eggs is as fol-
lows:
One part liquid glass (silicate of sodal !;
twelve to eighteen parts of water. Str
together cold (boiling impure water.
Put the eggs In a stone jar; pour the
solution over them; stand in the cellar
