Eggs VariOusIy Preserved.

Eggs are preserved in many other
ways besides cold Storage. Often the
preservative is effected by excluding
the air by coating, covering or miners
ing the eggs, some material or solu-
ton being used which may or may not
be a gerlnicide An old domestic meth
cd is to pack the eggs in oats, bran or
salt; another consists in covering the
eggs with lime water, which may or
may not contain salt In Germany
sterilization is effected by placing in
boiling water from twelve to fifteen sec
onds. Sometimes they are treated to a
solution of alum or salicylic acid. 9th
er methods consist in vanishing with
a solution of permanganate Of potash,
vanishing with cOllOdion or shellac !;
packing in peat dust. preserving in
wood ashes, treating with a solution of
boric acid and water glass, vanishing
with vaseline, preserving in lime wa
ter, preserving III solution of water
glass. The last three methods have
proved most successful. Infertile eggs
will keep much better than fertile eggs
by any manner of preservation.
