Experiment at Cape Rouge-Jn order to secure information re- garding the best methods of Dre- serving eggs, an experiment was started in 1916 at the ‘Cap Rouge Experimental Station. Eight met- hods were tested: 1. wrapping in 2. wrapping in paper and turning daily; 3. packing in oats; 4. pack- ing in sawdust; 5, Compose Gau~ lin; 6.

Results — It was soon found that the two best methods, by far, were the lime water anti the wnteralass. These have been continued t0 datte and very little difference has been found, though different lots of eggs are tested each year lby the

Stake the lime with a small quantity of wa- ter, just about enough to cover it. and then eti-r the milk thus formed into the water, Keep well stirred for a few hours, allow to settle, and pour the saturated water over the eggs, With waterglase, use about four pounds in ten gallons of water.
