Handy Homemade Egg Tester.

An ordinary hand lamp. a lantern, an
! incandescent bulb. or a flash light may be
used. Any box large enough to hold the
lamp, set on end. can be used for a case.
Besides the hole in the side opposite the
light there should be a hole in the top
end; otherwise the heat from the lamp
would fire the box. A tester chimney such
as is used on a lamp for testing eggs for
incubation may be used for Gambling.
For convenience the light should be
placed on a table or shelf. The eggs to
be tested should be placed at one side
Of the light, while on the opposite side
receptacles for the good and bad eggs
should be provided. Each egg should be
examined alone by holding it, large end
up, close to the light. A perfectly good,
fresh egg shows full and Clear be-
fore the light; there is almost no air cell
at the large end. and the yolk outline is

Very small spots which are apparent in

Fresh, clean eggs, properly preserved,

PRESERVING EGGS IN LIME WATER

During the spring and early summer,
when eggs are abundant and reasonable
in price, attention should be given to
preserving them for winter use. Fresh
eggs. properly preserved in waterglass or
lime water, may be kept for to IL
months in excellent condition and used
with good results. Eggs laid during
April, May, and early June have been
found to keep better than those laid later
in the season.
II satisfactory results are to be OBJ
tained, the eggs should be fresh and
clean, and. II possible, infertile. Eggs
that float when placed in the solution are
not fresh. and therefore cannot be pre-
served When an egg is only slightly
soiled, a cloth dampened with vinegar
can be used to remove such stains. Under
no, circumstances should badly soiled or
cracked eggs be used for preserving; If
put into the jar while dirty they will
spoil, and washing removes a protective
coating which prevents spelling.

TEN HENS TO A HOME

BY keeping a backyard poultry flock
the family would not only help in reduc-
ing the cost Of living but would have
eggs Of quality and freshness which are
often difficult to obtain.
Each hen in her pullet year should pro-
duce 10 dozen eggs. The average size
of the backyard flock should be at least
10 hens. Thus each flock would produce
in year 100 dozens Of eggs, which, at
the conservative value Of 40 cents a doz-
en-, would be worth $40.
