EVERY FAMILY SHOULD PRESERVE
A CASE OF EGGS

The housewife is very apt to overlook
the economy of preserving a case or two
of eggs when they are cheap to use when
eggs are high. There are two very good
reasons why every family should pre-
serve their own eggs: first, direct
economy; second, increased consumption
since you will eat more eggs that cost
forty cents per dozen and are in your
own cellar than you will if you have to
purchase them at eighty cents per dozen
or more.
So doing helps to reduce the high cost
of living. All kinds of meat remain I'M
usually high, are high the year round
because If there is an over-production 1t
is put in storage. This stabilizing Of
product also stabilizes the price and in
creases the profit to the producer. Now
the preserving of eggs has the same
effect. with the added feature that it can
be done at home and in small lots profit
ably. II works to the benefit of all and
to the disadvantage of none.
Detailed directions for preserving eggs
as issued by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture can be had of your
county agent or the Agricultural Exten-
sion Service of the University of Yer.
mont and State Agricultural College.
