to experiments made az the govern.

really Is one method Of keeping fresh
eggs which does preserve their fresh-

By this method eggs which were
packed In August were opened three

most packed eggs after little time the
yoik settles 20 one side. and the egg Is
then inferior In quality But In these

This Is worth knowing. II IL Is true.
And there are other reports 10 the
same effect German erperimenters
tried twenty methods Of preserving
eggs. The three which were found
most satisfactory were coating them
with vasellne, preserving them In lime
water and preserving them Ia water
glass. The vaseline was tedious. and
the limewater gave the eggs a dlsa.

Of packed eggs with which most cooks
are familiar. Such eggs do not beat

BY this test the eggs kept In water

Water glass is cheap product that
should not cost more than 30 cents a
gallon. One gallon would make enough
solution TO preserve fifty dozen eggs,
so that the cost would be only cent |

Water glass is sodium or potassium

quarts OF pure water that has been
thoroughly boiled and then cooled Add
one quart Of water glass TO the ten
