From the nisive tho reader might rea
sonably suppose that aome new process.
In the use u the two articles, suit nnd
lime, wa about to be given, aa it It
stated as tho result of numerous exper
iments with various subttauees that
the have shown their undoubted tu
lieriority over all others. Aa hereto

sary to prick them before boiling or
they will orack by toe expansion of
tlieir contents by heat.
Hut the process by which It wa found
eggt may bo successfully prcsorved for
twelve' months is thus described: To
p r serve, say one thousand eggs, tune
about thirty-six pounds of lime In
lumps aud place in a strong metal or
stone vosiol, pouring over the sann
some two gallons of boiling water.
Then cover with strong sacking, tak
ing ear the aumo doe not flr$. and
leaving in u safe plnos until quite cold.
Then mix with about twelve gallons o!
cold water, adding seven pounds ol
uears suit, and pour carefully over the
unite covering them and leaving
out any' sediment thai may have settled
at tho bottom of the mixing pan.
Pickle, if thus rightly mado, will in a
few days frost over as if covered with
very thin ice, and If this does not hup
ien add more lime until the desired end
s attained. The pickle is poured over
itis eggs in a milky condition, being
passed through aline sieve to catch any
large pieces not dissolved. Boiling
water should be used for slaking the
lime.
I.o great secret la to have good
fresh eggs and keep up the strength of
the pie ih- and the surface frosted over
ity adding from time to lime fresh
strong pickle, or if not room in the
vessel for more liquid, then freshly
slacked lime. .Stone or earthenware
vessels a-e most suitable aud should
stum! in a cool place and not be moved
about The eggs must be freshly laid,
not more than one week old if good
result:) are desired, and must not be
ccacrted, and every egg should be test
ed before placing In the pickling vessel.
By the above means eggs muy be kept
any reusomible lime, certainly from
spriug to n inlor.
Uf the method thus described, which
is siibsliiutially the same as hua heeu

years, with variations in the proportion

known and, excellent authority, suys:

protection iron the ention of the air,
the absorption of ull carbonic acid from

Hull might exist in tue water, and pos
sible also lo the iiutiseutic character ol
the sail an. i ,uio it Is further tUkled
that Mr. Tg. tmeie , who has tested

them as being unaltered In appearance
