Preserving Eggs
This is the season of the .year wben
jggs are at their very besfc- Un
fortunately, their price is not low,
enough this year to put them into the
class of low cst food; still I think
they have probably not risen . more
in proportion than other foods have.
At 35 cents per dozen they compare
rather favorably with meat in cost,
taking the food value into considera
tion. One doien large eggs weight
about one and one-half pounds. About
14 per cent of egg is body-building ma
terial, and one pound of eggs gives
about 900 heat units to the body.
Lean meat has a larger per cent of
body-building material," as high as 20
per cent; but gives fewer heat units
to the body. Hence eggs are not a
bad investment as meat substitutes,
and their digestibility for the average
rjersdn must also be taken into ac
count Seasonal Price.
The hen evidently does not realize
that' she should be on the job the
whole year round, for the winter sea
son is her rest'period. Cold storage
has helped somewhat to equalize
prices the year round; but cpd stor
age prices are not so low as to put
eggs within the reach of every one
in the winter time. It is perfectly pos.
sible for the housewife to overcome
seasonal prices to a certain extent by
preserving her own eggs for autumn
and winter use.
Ways to Preserve Eggs.
The principles of preserving eggs
are very simple. A good egg is one
which has kept its original water con
tent, and which has not undergone
change, due to bacteria. Some bac
teria enter through the shell, which
is porous. If the shell can be sealed,
tl e eggs will keep for a reasonable
length of time. I think no one claims
- that home preserved eggs will last
longer than eight months.
The simplest way to preserve eggs
s to pack them in sawdust or salt,
or oat them witli paraffine or some
other air proof preparation. The
more satisfactory way is to cover
them with a water glass solution, or
a liine ater solution.
Water Glass Method.
Select perfect eggs, as fresh as pos
sible.. Do not wash, for the water
vll remove a gelatinous-covering
which helps to preserve the egg.
Scald an earthen jar, and prepare a
solution of nine parts cooled boiled
water t'p one part of water glass. The
mixture should be beaten with an
egg beater if it will not mix easily.
One auart of water glass is suffi
cient for one-half case of eggs (IS
dozen). Pack the eggs into the jar
which has been placed in a cool place
where it need not be moved. Cover
the eggs with the solution to the
depth of two inches above the eggs,
and as the water evaporates it shpuld
be replaced with, fresh cool boiled
ivater. The boiled water should al
ways be nsed, because- other water is
iot' sterile. ' -

longer than eight months. Toward
the end of that time the white and
yolk cannot be separated and the
egg is only fit for general cooking.
The housewife, then, should put down
only enough eggs now to last during
the autumn and rely on summer eggs
for her winter supply. It is better
to preserve some eggs now, for the
spring eggs are by far the best of the
whole year, both in flavor and in
keeping qualities.
Limewater Method.
The United States Department of
Agriculture gives .the following direc
tions for the limewater method:
Limewater is also satisfactory for
preserving eggs, and is slightly less
expensive than water glass. A solu
tion is made by placing two or three
pounds of unslaked lime in five gal
lons of water, which has been boiled
and allowed to cool, and allowing the
mixture to stand until the lime settles
and the liquid is clear." The eggs
should be treated as for the water
glass method.

A Hoe for Every Home
The hoe has become a weapon of
war. The, food situation was never
more serious than now. Saving food
is one solution of the world shortage;
substitution is another, but equally
important is the spring edict from
the United States Department of Ag
riculture and the United States food
administration that the country must
plant and produce more food this
year than ever before.
The urgency of this demand must
be appreciated and acted upon
promptly by every home in America.
Every householder with even a little
land to Spare should buy a hoe. The
hoe should become the symboj of a
self-sustaining. household as regards
garden foods. Every peck of potatoes
and every pint pf peas brought in
from the back yard releases that
much more,, for the current market
and saves that much to ship abroad.
Almost every liomo has some mem
ber who can devote a little time each
day to the hoe. This should be con
sidered as much a part of patriotism

Orange Crop Shortage is
Cause .of Big Rise in Price
The unprecedented raise in the price
of oranges is the feature of the local
fruit market that is astonishing the
marketmen. Oranges that sold at
30 cents a dozen last year are now
commanding $1 a dozen, and the big
gest size that sold at 50 tents no
cost $1.50 a dozen. Marketmen say
the producers claim there is a big
shortage in the crop.
Potatoes hold down to 25 cents a
peck for the best kinds. "We have in
some extra fine genuine Red river
seed potatoes," said Omaha market
Hen. "These are' in branded sacks
and the government guarantees them
genuine." The price is $1.25 a bushel.
Last year these potatoes sold at $3.50
a bushel.
One of the most remarkable lower
ing of prices is that of red onions,
which sell at Vt cents a pound now
and sold last year for 10 and 12 cents
a pound. Onion sets are selling at a
large department stores for 10 cents
a quart.
Kcw, fresh rhubarb from California
is arriving in Omaha in liberal quan
tities and sells around 1 cents a
pound.
Strawberries are somewhat higher

Wax and green beans, fresh from
the southern gardens, sell for 20 cents

They come from California and sell
at 15 cents a quart.
Saving Shoe Leather
Making two pairs of slices do the
work of three, while leather maintains
its wartime scarcity and price, is the
advice of the United States bureau of
standards.
"It is apparent," says the bureau,
that it is a matter of economy to
keep two or more pairs of shoes,
wearing them in rotation. Some man
ufacturers claim that two pairs of
shoes worn alternately will outlast
three pairs worn consecutively. Wei
shoes should be dried slowly, and, it
possible, shoe trees should be inserted
to prevent their losing shape and be
coming uncomfortable, and also to
prolong the life of the shoe."
