KEEP EGGS IN WATER-GLASs
Receptacle Should Be Placed In Cool
Cellar and Covered over to Pre-

By c. L. BROWN. Crookston Expert.
mcnt Station.J
There arc several good methods OF
preserving eggs, but the w~ater.glass
method Is the best. Water.glass can
usually be purchased at a local drug
store for less than 81 a gallcn, max.
iug the cost about one cent for each
dozen eggs.
The receptacle used should be an
~earthcnware jar OF from five to ten
gallons. The Eggs should be placed in
the jar each day, when gathered, as
the fresher the egg the better II Will
keep, Care should be exercised TO
see that one OF the eggs Is cracked,
or the whole Jar OF eggs may be-
spoiled In a short time.
The jar should be placed in a cool
cellar; a piece OF oiled paper or some
other waterproof cover should be
placed over to prevent evaporation.
II this Is not done, any eggs that APP.
pear above the liquid will spoil rapid.
~. The eggs should be kept at least
two inches below the surface OF the
liquid.
Tho solution recommended IL one
part OF water glass to ten parts Of
pure water.
