Why when and how
to preserve eggs.
THE QUALITY WAY

There are at least three pertinent reasons
for preserving eggs.
1.--if you desire fresh eggs in winter,

tin of being able to buy at the grocery.
2.-If you keep hens and wish to hold
your eggs for better price, you can, by the
| Quality method positively preserve them
So that no test except incubation can deter
mine that they are more than week old.
3.-Should you wish to speculate by pur-
chasing eggs when price is low and selling
when price is high you can do IL and know
that your eggs are far superior TO the best

WHEN TO PRESERVE EGGS.
Many people have 0ocks Of hens that are
prolific layers from April till September.
After. that they rarely lay enough eggs to
pay for their care.
Quoting from our local market. (and we
have kept tab several years. the price In
April is 1sc retail, and the grocer pays
from l4c to l6c. In May you can get 13c

ket. In June and July half the hens are
broody and prices advance so the grocer pays
lSc and does not ask il the eggs are
strictly fresh In August the price ad-

October marks 26c, November SOC and dur.
ing the next three months fresh eggs find
ready market at from 32c to 34c. The retail
price is always from two to four cents
higher.
Now, it is quite apparent that IL eggs laid
in July and August are preserved till Decem.

HOW TO PRESERVE EGGS.
This problem has been the subject of con.
stant investigation all over the world for
half century and it was less than ten
years ago that successful method was dis
covered. The discovery was not made by
Us, but we have tested the method thoroughly v
and carefully for five years with the most
satisfactory results. We call il The "Qual.
ity'' Way, because the quality of the egg is
more than year and they were still good,
hence, we are honest in our belief that eggs
can be kept In perfectly fresh condition
longer than anyone needs to keen them
We have supplied great many people
with the method, and, where instructions
were carefully followed, there were no fail
ures.
The process is simple the labor insight
hcant, the material inexpensive and at the
end no traces are left to indicate that the
eggs have been kept The most skilled
expert cannot tell the difference between an
egg four months old aud one laid the day
before, by Gambling, breaking whipping OF
cooking
