25r EGGS


Eggs, even at five cents each. are
cheaper than meat, we are often ns-
sured They are n perfect food, easily
assimlatcd, quickly dgested and highly
concentrated. Other foods ara improved
when they are added, and the work of
cooking is greatly simplifed when they
can he had. But 6o-eent eggs do not ap-
peal to housekeepers who know q better
prioc-which now, in country districts, is
about 20 cents n dozen
ANY home may have 20, or 25-ccnt
eggs next December or January, If YOU
viii take the trouble To preserve them
now April eggs are thought the hest for
packing by dealers who arc experienced
They say that these early eggs are larger
and of better quality than eggs laid later
and they keep better than those gathered
in hot weather
Water glass is the best preservative of
all Use one quart of it in two gallons of
water The water should he boiled and
cooled before the water glass is a9de l. 4
stoneware crock. with lid is the best
container and the solution should be two
inches above the eggs
There are other ways TO preserve eggs
Some persons like to Use lime and salt

Dry bran is also used; the eggs arc
packed in H. small end down, and we'll
covered with the bran; the container
should be kept in n cellar or other cool,
dry place Several years ago the govern
ment advocated the use ~ vaselinc for
preserving eggs. The yaseinc vas melted
and the eggs coated with a thin covering
Of it Older housekeepcrs will remember
that tallow was used in the same way,
years ago; the pores Of the egg shells
were filled with the warm grease. and the
eggs were packed IN layers in boxes, small
ends down, and tied down with several
layers Of newspapers and kept IN a dry,
cool place The water glass. however. has
outrivalcd al other methods
Emerson told Us there was right and
n wrong way even to boil an egg. but be-
did NOT say an egg should be 1T least
"A hours old before il is boiled, Or poached.
but this IS true. Very fresh laid eggs have
not the solidty and hrInness that they
have after = few hours. They will not
beat up so lightly as eggs that have been
laid 10 or II hours. The test for fresh
eggs. 50 well known to all housckcepers,
Is explained by the porous nature Of the
