Minard's Liniment Relieves Colds, eta How To Preserve Egga. Preserving eggs at home is bY 00 means a new practice; on the con- trary, it is an old-fashioned idea. Be cently, however, there has come into practice a method of preservation— the water -glass t-reatraent—which ie a great improvement over the old- fashioned methods, inasmuch as there are few risks of failure. Strictly speaking, there are no risks, if the proper precautions are !taken, . Briefly, these precautions consist of providing clean containers for the eggs, storing these containers in the proper place, and most important of all, to see that the egg's are strictly fresh. No difficulty attaches to the latter requirement if the eggs are produced by the home flock, 1.1 the eggs are purchased, it is comparatively simple to cheep the quality of the eggs by a candling process. Back-yae poultry raisers and farm- ers will finli it to their advantage to preserve eggs, if only to eseape forc- ing their surpluses on a crowded mar- ket, thereby having to accept low priees. Housewives will find it eco- nomical to preserve eggs, because they can lay M their winter's supply at a low price. Instead of paying from sixty cents to $1 a dozen, they can have eggs at about thirty-five cents a dozen. In order to appreciate the principles of preserving eggs, a little should be known of their structure and the in- fluences to which they are susceptible. When an egg is laid it is comparative- ly free from bacteria or life which might cause decomposetion, But, like milk, the egg is excellent material for bacterial growth and development. It spoils quiekly under certain circura- stanteet, such As dampness and dirt. The shell of the egg is exceedingly porous; it is necessary for it to be so, or the germ contained within the egg could not develop because of the lack of oxygen. Germ in this instance is Intended to mean the embryo, com- monly spoken of as the life germ, To protect the shell against the en- trance of bacteria, the fresh egg is, coated with a mucilaginous matter! which le intended to teal the pores until the commencement of hatching, This e,oatin,g, which gives the fresh egg its "bloom," remains effective so long as the egg is kept clean and dry and, providing, of tomato that it is not held too long or rubbed. Moisture, age and undue handing will destroy this protective otottin,g, whereupon mimeo -organisms are perenitted to enter the shell and the egg Marts its downward career. Became of the delicate nature of this then coating, it Or evident that eggs intended for storage 'should not be 'washed, hold In damp, musty lace, nor be handled more than noc- Calitity, tool that they should he pro - served as soon as possible after thoy are laid, When flailuree occur among preserved eggs they are almoat alevaye AUTO USED PARTS We carry V, full line of moll Parts. fr 11 manes of rare, cleaned AO rise frOIT{ armee cad dirt.

'Generally speaking, becterial deo-el- opment or decomposition is prevented in two ways: First, by keeping the eggs sterile by -preventing the en- trance of bacteria; second, by retard- ing the growth of bacteria within the egg by shutting off the supply of oxy- gen from the outside. This latter method is accomplished in a number of ways, -chiefly by coating Ole ehell or immersing the egg in a livid, or by lowering the temperature below the point at which this growth will de- velop. This latter, et course, means cold storage, Some of the old-fashioned methods of preserving eggs consisted of pack. ing them in oats, bran or dry salt, or covering the eggs with limewater. The results were always uncertain, and frequently caused disappointment, be- cause while the eggs might not actu- ally spoil, they were likely to be of unpalatable flavor, which amounted to the same thing. The most improved method of pre- serving eggs at home, recommended by agricultural experiment stations and other authorities, is the water - glass treatment, which has given sat- isfactory results under varying condi- tions for a number of years. Water -glass, or solution of glees, technically Invoem as odium silicate or potassium silicate, is sold in two fornx a thiek, syruplike liquid of about the consistency of molasses, and a powder. Both forms are sold by leading druggists, though the liquid material is probably the most popular. It 15 not expensive, and usually a sav- ing can be made by purchasing it direct from the manufacturers. Pro- perly diluted, a gallon of wateregIass should make sufficient solution to cover and store between sixty and seventy dozen eggs. Dissolve one part liquid water -glass in ten Tarts evater. If the powdered form is used a slightly smaller quan- tity of glass may be employed. Only pure water should be used: and to be sore of its purity it is -well to boil it for about twenty zninutee, then allow it bit cool before adding the water - glass. Stir the mixture thoroughly, and when the glass is entirely dissolved the solution is ready eor use, The waterglass is heavier than water, and will go to the bottom unless thorough. ly mixed, Almost any sort at' container tint will hold liquids will do for poking the eggs:, though large earthenware crocks vahieh have e glazed! or vitrified 1A11141,06, such as button crock, are pre- ecrable, Crockery, glass or Wooden recopeaelee 'aro bettor than metal eon. taloere, II the eggs aro earefully placed' in the eteeste an, end and etood oleo to-, gether more eggs can Isa uttered, In a giveoteltainer and, lees eelutiOn 15 required to cover them.
