PACKING OF EGGS
: IN WATER SOLUTION
Standard Grade May Be Obtained
: Rather Cheaply.

In the spring. when they are plenti-
full, eggs may be preserved for home
use IN a solution of water glass, so
that those laid during the fall and
winter season may be available for
marketing.
"A standard grade of water glass can
be obtained at drug stores for 10 cents
per gallon, II bought In moderately
large quantities. Each quart OF water
glass should be diluted with ten quarts
az water. which has been boiled and
cooled. Only strictly fresh, newly laid
eggs should be placed in the solution.
Etone lars or crooks should be used.
The eggs may be packed In these and
the solution poured over them, or the
eggs may be placed daily In the solu-
ton by putting them down in 1t care
fully by hand so as to avoid breaking
or cracking them. The solution will
not injure the hands. The Jars should

purposes, but the shells break rather
Easily in boiling. This trouble can be
eprcvented by puncturing the end OF the
'bhell with a pin or needle Just before
boiling. Perhaps an occasional Gus
toner will be willing to buy eggs pre-
served In water glass, but they should
be sold for Just what they are and al
n price mutually agreed upon by the
producer and consumer.

AVERAGE HENS EGG
WEIGHS TWO OUNCES
Parcel Post Rate on Dozen in Car
,~ ton From 6 Cents Up.

Average hens eggs will weigh about
one and one-half pounds to the dozen.
or ounces apiece. The weight of a
single dozen of eggs In a carton proper
~ packed and wrapped for mailing will
run from two to three pounds, depend
Ing on the nature of the particular con-
tainer, the size of the eggs. and the
packing and wrapping used.
II the contniner be a very light one,
and the eggs small. the parcel may fall
within the two-pound limit, and the
postage therefore within the first and
second zones, or 15O-mile limit, would be
8 cents.
But most parcels containing a dozen
eggs will exceed two pounds, but will
not reach three: therefore the postage
on them will be cents within the first
and second zones.
,; A parcel containing two dozen eggs
will add perhaps two cents to the post
age. though sometimes only cent, de-
pending on the nature of the container
and the packing and wrapping.
; It Is important to observe that the
larger the parcel (within the size and
weight limits) the cheaper is the post
.age, as the first pound OF every pack
age costs cents within the first and Sec
ond zones, while each additional pound.
up to fifty, costs but cent; so that
while a 1-pound parcel would cost 5
cents postage, 2-pound parcel would
cost only cents or cents a pound.
A 20-pound parcel would cost "a cents,
or is cents per pound. and a 50-pound
marcel would cost "a cents, or but 2-25
cents per pound.

POST SAFE
I'D
I FOR SHIPPING EGGS
Department Of Agriculture Ex-
IS pertinent Shows Method Is
q Satisfactory.

I'm a series OF experiments conducted
~ the United states Department of
Agriculture, 9,l3l eggs were sent
through the mails In 466 shipments OF
from / to 10 dozens each.
The total breakage was 3Z7 eggs: OF
hese, 1ls were only cracked or slight
~ broken and were disable, and 200 Tor
- per cent? were broken beyond use.
Ninety-one eggs were broken because
the parcels containing them were
handled contrary to postal rules and
regulations.
-Subtracting these, the loss was only
1.3 per cent. This shows the possibility
of shipping eggs by parcel post with
small loss. and indicates that eggs may
be 30 shipped with safety If existing
postal regulations are observed.
Wrap Each Egg.
Care should be exercised in the pro-
auction of eggs so that they will be
OF as good quality as possible to begin
with. The hens should be provided
with proper quarters and fed on clean,
wholesome food. The production of
npn-fertile eggs reduces the losses ma
tefiaiIy. After gathering. the eggs
should be kept carefully In the coolest
and best ventilated place available.
Trials of many styles aud makes OF
containers we're made; quite number

manufacturers of containers can be OBJ
tanned from the agricultural experiment
stations in the several states.

Farmers located out OF reach of a sat
