KEEP EGGS FOR FUTURE USE
by Poultry Expert Of Missouri
Agricultural College.

Ry C. A. WEBSTER, University Of Mis-
souri,, College of Agriculture.)
Eggs preserved in the water-glass
solution will keep almost perfectly for
several months. They will poach near
ly as we'll as fresh eggs although the
taste is trifle more fiat after long
storage. These are the conclusions
Of the Missouri college Of agriculture
after careful investigation of various
methods Of storing eggs for winter
use.
Water-glass is purchased in liquid
form. Druggists commonly retail it at
twenty-five cents a quart, and one
quart Is enough to preserve twenty
dozen Of eggs. For this number a
Eve gallon stone or earthenware crock
Is the most satisfactory receptacle
Heat ten quarts Of water to the boil
Ing point and allow it to cool. Then
pour the water into the crock, add one
quart of water-glass and mix the two
The solution is then ready for the
eggs. Place the eggs in the water
glass solution each day as soon as
they are laid. Use only naturally clean,
not washed, fresh eggs. When the
crock is filled to within two inches Of
the top Of the solution, cover and store
In a cool dry place until winter.
By this method eggs may be stored
during spring and summer when they
are relatively cheap and production
Is high, for use during winter when
prices are high and production is low.
Farmer and townsman alike may save
many dollars by this method Of cheap
storage Of eggs. 1t is of the greatest
Importance that the eggs used should
be absolutely fresh. Water-glass will
not make bad eggs good, but will keep
good eggs from becoming bad.
