KEEP EGGS FOR
WINTER, EXPERT
TELLS WOMEN
Process of Putting Them Away
is Described by Mrs. Anna
B. Scott.
(By Mrs. Anna B. Scott, Culinary
Expert Of the Philadelphia North

Amcrican.)
Why not preserve eggs for next
winters use. for puddings, pies and
cakes? Every housekeeper knows
that in December and January eggs
are very scare. Those are the months
that the hens have their vacation, as
1t were. Then, why not preserve the
eggs now. when they begin to be
plentiful and cheap?
One must be sure that the eggs
are strictly fresh before putting them
up for winter use, and II correctly
done there Is quite a saving from
twenty to twenty-five cents a dozen
now (that is city prices) 10 forty and
forty-five cents at Christmas time.
II one lives in the country or has
them shipped by parcel post from a
reliable farmer in an egg carrier:
there are carriers or cartons with
steel frames costing twenty-five cents
apiece, which hold four dozen eggs
and are shipped by parcel post, cost
ing twelve cents for four dozen and
seven cents to return the empty car
rter. Why not have the farmer send
the fresh eggs once or twice a week
They are very easily done up. The
solution is made and the eggs are put
In one dozen at time, or where
folks have their own chickens, why
not put some Of the eggs in daily ?
This can easily be done.
Last year was the first time ever
put up eggs. and my experience was
most successful. could poach the
eggs very SUCCESSFULLY, which is usual
ly a good test. Not that put them
up expecting to poach them. My OBJ,
ject In preserving the eggs was to
see what success would have. and
for baking and cooking have found
them perfectly satisfactory.
