At the Danish experiment station II
was shown that IL pounds of whey
from separator skim milk cheese are

able slop may be made by mixing to-
| gether equal parts middlings or
shorts, ground oats or barley, bran

After experiments with egg preserv-
atives, the agricultural department
has concluded that water-glass (sili.
cate of sodium) is about the best, and
makes the following suggestions:
| Use only perfectly fresh eggs. Stale
eggs will not keep by any method of
| preservation. Clean out the vessels
in which the eggs are to be packed
(preferably stone jar) by scalding
with boiling water. Prepare the solu.
ton, using water that has first been
boiled and then cooled to ordinary
temperature. To each 10 quarts of
water add one quart OF water-glass.
Pack the eggs into the jar and pour
the liquid over them; cover the eggs
completely. Do not wash the eggs
before packing them, as this may In
jure their keeping qualities by re-
moving natural protective coating
on the outside of the shells. Keep the
eggs packed in this manner in a cool,
dark place, such as dry, cool cellar.
