would ooze out in big drops. On face
and body it was In dry form and
would scale of. He was in great mis-

holding his hands SO that he could not
scratch and disfigure himself. I tried

KEEPING AND STORING EGGS
Well Dissolved Solution Of Water.
siaked Lime and Salt is RECON-
mended-Don't Crack.

There are many plans suggested for
keeping and storing eggs. but q very
ample one appears in a recent ex-
change: To every three gallons OF
water add one pound Of fresh slaked
lime and one-half pint Of salt. Have It
well dissolved. Drop in your eggs one
1t time. but mind do not crack them.
II you wish to keep them one or two
years you can do SO. But you must
use them as soon as taken out or they
will spoil. When you put IN all you
wish. take a thin piece Of board and
put on top, and On that put a little salt
and lime that the top may be as strong
as the bottom. II these are kept at
sea and in different climates. why not
keep on land in a cool cellar? Should
you wish to keep to transport. dissolve
sufficient gum shellac to make thin
varnish in alcohol. let them dry, then
after giving each egg coat pack
them in bran or sawdust. When want
ed wash of the varnish and they are
ready to be cooked.
