Onions contains fle<ihmnking elc- ninntR and they are soothing to the roucuH membrane. and should be placed in the preserv- ing container as soon as possibls after they are laid. One of the best meth- ods of preserving is by the use of waterglass, a pale yellow, odorless, syrupy licpiid that can be bought by | the <)uart or gallon from the druggist or poultry supply man. It should be diluted in the proportion of 1 part of waterglass to 9 parts of water which has been boiled and allowed to cool. Earthenware crocks or jara are the best containers, since their glazod surface prevents chemical action from the solution. The crocks or cans should bo scalded and allowed to cool before they are used. A container holding five gallons will accommodate fifteen do/en eggs anil will reiiuire one quart of waterglass. Half fill the container with the waterglass solution and place the eggs in it. Eggs can be added from day to day as they are obtained, nlak- ing sure that the eggs are covered by about two inches of waterglass solu- tion. Cover the container and place it in a cool place where it will not have to be moved. Look at it from time to time, and if there seems to be danger of too much evaporation add sufficient cool boiled water to keep the eggs covered. Eggs removed from the solution should be rinsed in clean, cold water. Before they nr<S- boilod holes should be pricked in the large ends with a needle to prevent them from crr.cking. Llmewater also is satisfactory for preserving eggg and is slightly less expensive than waterglass. A solu- tion is made by placing two or three pounds of unslaked lime in five gal- lons of water which has been boiled and allowed to cool, and allowing the mixture to stand until the lime set- nlllliliiiiiliiililiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiii Keep Traelc of The Fow1«.
