PRESERVE EGGS IN SOLUTION
Where Sodium Slicate Is Not Handy
Lime Water Is Satisfactory and
Very Cheap.


Sodium silicate, or water-glass, Is
the most convenient preservative in
which to store eggs for winter use, but
where lime is easily procurable, lime
water is very satisfactory and much
cheaper than water-glass. Lime water
is apt to roughen the shells of the
eggs slightly, making the eggs some
what less attractive in appearance
than water-glass. Directions for using
this lime water are given by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
To preserve with lime, dissolve two
pounds of unslaked lime in a small
quantity of water, and dilute with five
gallons of water that has previously
been boiled and cooled. Allow the
mixture to stand until the lime settles,
then skim off, and use the clear liquid.
Put clean, fresh, unwashed eggs in a
clean earthenware crock or jar and
pour the clear lime water into the yes
sci until the eggs are covered. At least
two inches of the solution should cover
the top layer of eggs. Keep the re-
ceptacle tightly covered to prevent
evaporation and also to keep all for
eign material out of the solution.

activities were confined to the purchas-
ing of branded barrel covers and the
selling Of potatoes. Thirty-five thou
sand barrel covers were bought at a
saving of $700, and 126 carload lots
of potatoes were sold with saving of
$4,000.
A great growth in cooperative mar
keting and purchasing has been one
of the outstanding results of extern
sion work in the South. County agents,
assisted by marketing specialists,
through marketing demonstrations and
by instruction and advice, have aided
local and county associations Of farm
crs in the cooperative selling of many
kinds of farm produce and live stock,
and in the cooperative purchasing of
Il great variety of farm necessities.
Farmers have gained knowledge of
methods and acquired confidence in
their ability to do business on CO.
operative basis. They are beginning
TO undertake definite business organ
izations on a countrywide and even
statewide scale for the marketing OF
their main cash crops, such as cotton
tobacco and peanuts.
Owing to the cooperative work in
cotton grading, CHASING, and stapling
and information given as to the mar
ket value Of the various grades and
staples by extension workers, 1t is es-
timated that between $1,000,000 and
