128 EGGS AND POULTRY 
or packing a few each day. Boil 10 quarts 
of water (preferably rain water). After it 
has cooled stir in 1 1-2 pints of commercial 
waterglass (sold by druggist). Pour in this 
solution until it completely covers the eggs 
to the depth of say half an inch. Now the 
jar may be set aside, with a board cover to 
keep the dust out, and no attention need be 
given beyond adding a little water from time 
to time to replace the loss by evaporation. 
Eggs may be used as wanted from the top. 
In December my family used eggs that were 
packed during April and May. It is essen- 
tial for good results, that all eggs be fresh, 
and better if also infertile.
