PRESERVATION OF EGGS

Our ancestors, not knowing the
cause of the decomposition of eggs.
'sed to pack them in oats, bran or
:alt and set them in the cellar. OF
course, this method was of some
value, but not great success. After
cards it was found better to coat the
Eggs she'll with clean vaseline and
wrap each egg in clear paper before
placing the egg into the oats or bran.
Recent Methods.
OF more recent years solution Of
.ime and water has been used, but it
lid not prove very satisfactory. To-
lay two methods are practiced that
are proving fairly satisfactory The
3ne is to keep the eggs in cid stor-
age and the other is to preserve them
IN water glass Sodium silicate).
The keeping of eggs in water glass
has proven a great success and can be
done in any home with but little trou
tle and expense. The water glass can
be bought at drug store, in liquid
form, at about 35 cents per quart. TG
HSFSAJ MAIL VI WdlSl t3IdSS duu ABOUT
Eine or ten quarts of boiled water and
stir vigorously for fifteen minutes.
This solution should be put into a
stone jar and the eggs put into it,
There must be sufficient solution to
cover the eggs The jar should then
tie covered and set in a cold, dark cell
lar and not disturbed except when the
eggs are removed for use
While eggs preserved In this way
lose some of their flavor for table use,
they are excellent for cooking pur-
poses, and are source of economy
in the home. Certain changes in the
laws governing cold storage Of foods
will reduce the number Of eggs kept
by commercial companies and increase
the price of eggs during the winter
Will it not be advisable to preserve
eggs this year? If you are thinking
Of doing it, begin at once.
