MRS. WILSON TELLS
HOW TO KEEP EGGS
Proper Directions for Preserving in Waerglass-'lah
ing War Paper for Top OF Jms-Cooking After
Removing From Liquid Solution
BY MRS. NJ. A. WILSON
Dy MIND I'f' ~ W EE8hJOAT
FCopyrioht, 1919, By Mrs. N. A. Wilson.
An Rights ReSerucd.).

! gently, because a cracked egg not
only spoils itself, but also many
| others.
When the jar is full to within four
! inches of the top turn a plate over
the eggs and then fill the crock with
the prepared waterglass solution.
This solution will need to be three
inches over the top of the eggs. Now
cover the top of the jar securely with
piece of wax paper and then with
cardboard cover, cut to fit. Now
tie a stout piece of paper over all.
Be sure that all these coverings are
fastened securely. Pour melted
paraffin over the whole top. These
eggs will be found to be in splendid
condition in December, January and
February, and they will amply repay
the housewife for her trouble.
How to Make the Wax Paper to
Cover the Tops of the Jars
Melt the paraffin and then spread
paper on a fiat surface. Now with a
cheap paint brush thoroughly coat
both sides of the paper. Set aside
until needed.
Large glass bowls or new wooden
buckets may also be used. If using
new wooden ware, keep the fact in
mind that it must be soaked in cold
water for forty-eight hours to season
it. Fastening the jars or containers
closely prevents evaporation.
Duck eggs may be treated in the
same manner as hen eggs, and they
can be used to replace hen eggs for
baking. One duck egg will equal
two hen eggs. Eggs placed in water
glass storage may be used for all
table purposes, and they compare ia
vorably with the cold-storage eggs
that you purchase in the markets at
that season.
How to Boil Waterglass Eggs
Wash the eggs after removing
from the liquid solution and then
with the point of a fine needle make
a tiny hole at the large end of the
egg. This will prevent it bursting
when it is cooking. Cook in the usual
manner.
For frying, poaching, omelets,
souffles and custards, as we'll as for
baking, these eggs will be found to
be splendid. A cas-. Of thirty dozen
eggs will cost you about S17.50 to
put down. This includes every eX-
pense. and next December, January
and February you will have for use
each month ten dozen eggs, or about
two and half dozen per week.
You know that it was just such
prudent and careful conserving of
our grandparents that helped to tide
over the long, lean winters and pro-
vided abundant food for the family

+ THERE is no other single article OF
food, either animal or vegetable
in character, which is more com
monty used the world over or served
in greater variety than the egg
Now, it is generally understood that
the egg from the barnyard is the
one mentioned. But there are also
eggs from the ostrich, turkey, goose,
duck, guinea fowl, seagull, murre
heron, alligator, turtle. terrapin, liz
ard, fish and other varieties of eggs.
Many epicures prize the eggs from
the turtle, both the fresh and salt
water variety, and those Of the stur-
geon and the shad roe. Ana we all
know and enjoy those Of our domes-
tic poultry.
Have you ever thought about the
price of eggs next winter? Unless
present indications fail entirely, it
looks as though we may have to pay
between ninety cents and 81 per
dozen for storage eggs. Now is the
time to put away a sufficient guam
tity of eggs to last you during the
season of high prices.
Certain chemical changes occur in
the egg during the hot weather that
make the eggs laid in July, August
and September undesirable for stor-
age. So now is really the best time
TO do this work. You may safely
store them until the last week in
June.
Many methods are used for this
purpose, such as dipping eggs and
then giving them a thin coat of
'paraffin or suet, and then standing
them in rows in bran or chaff in a
cool cellar. Others are packed in
various mixtures. In the last two
years l have tested out many of these
methods and find by actual test that
eggs preserved in waterglass are by
far the best.
How to Do 1t
You must use strictly fresh-gath-
cred eggs. Sort them for size, but
do not wash them, for you know that
madam hen has put delicate coat
ing on the egg that prevents the
porous shell from absorbing odors.
If this is removed the egg spoils.
After trying all kinds of utensils,
have found that the stone crock
gives the best results. Use the ones
large enough-about five gallons
And now to start preparations.
Boil and cool ten gallons of water
and then add one quart of water
glass. Stir until thoroughly dis
solved. Let this mixture stand while
you prepare the crock by scalding it
with boiling water. Drain and then
place under the running water to
chill. Now place the eggs in the
crock, layer on layer, handling them

LTITH warm days comes a need for

white skirts and dresses comes need
