STORING EGGS IN LIME.
WATER.

Where water glass cannot be OBJ
tained for the preservation of eggs.
the lime-water method may be sub
stituted. Dissolve two or three
pounds of unslake ed lime In i've gal
Ions of water that has previously
been boiled and allowed to cool. and
permit the mixture to stand until
the lime settles and the liquid is
clear. Place clean, fresh eggs in a
clean, earthenware crock or Jar. and
pour the clear lime water into the
vessel until the eggs are covered.
At least two inches of the solution
should cover the top layer OF eggs.
Sometimes . pound OF salt is used
with the lime, but experience has
shown that in general the lime with
out the salt is more satisfactory.
