Storing Eggs in Water Glass 
April is perhaps the best time to put 
eggs in water glass, as they are plentiful 
and cheap. The eggs should be strictly 
fresh and perfect, rejecting any with 
cracked shells, as this may cause the 
loss of the whole batch. They must be 
clean, and. of course, perfectly cold. The 
container used may be glass, wood, or 
earthenware, but never metal. Large 
stone crocks are desirable and convenient. 
They should he well cleaned and aired. 
Boil water, put in crock, and when per¬ 
fectly cold add the w-ater glass, one part 
of water glass to 12 parts of water. Stir 
well and then put in the eggs :i> they are 
ready. There should be sufficient of the 
liquid to cover the top layer of eggs at 
least 1 in. The original formula gave one 
part of water glass to nine parrs water, 
but the smaller quantity is now used, and 
one correspondent Informs ns that he 
uses one part water glass to 14 parts of 
water. The container is kept in a cold, 
dry placp. While these eggs are of ex¬ 
cellent quality for domestic use. thpy can¬ 
not be sold as fresh eggs.
