During this season OF the year,
when eggs may be had at reasonable
prices. is the time to preserve them
as against this coming winter when
they will sell for three or four times
as much as at present. 1t has been
found that eggs laid in April, May or
early June preserve the best. and
properly cared for, will keep fresh
for years time. The water-glass
method OF preservation is furnished
by the Y. s. Dept of Agriculture, as
follows:
Use one quart OF sodium silicate
to ? quarts of water. that has been
boiled and cooled. Place the mix
ture in five-gallon crock. This
will be enough to preserve fifteen

should be scalded and allowed to
dry.

Substitute Preventative Plan

When water-glass can not be OBJ
tained. the following method OF pre-
serving eggs may be used in its
stead. Many consider this method
entirely satisfactory although there
are instances where eggs SO preserv-
ed have tasted OF lime.
Dissolve 2 or 3 pounds OF un-
Stacked lime in five gallons Of water
that has been boiled and cooled, and
allow 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 limewater into the vessel
until the eggs are covered. At least
two inches Of the solution should
cover the top layer Of eggs. Some
times pound Of salt is used with the
lime, but experience has shown that
in general the lime without the salt
is more satisfactory.

frank remarks about the law the that Congress

is singular thing that Congress should spend of its

this result of such intense effort is likely to last than
few months when Congress again up the weary grind

The Republicans have had control of both branches of Con-
