To Keep Eggs Several Months Recipe

It is a good plan to buy eggs for family use when cheap, and preserve

them in the following manner: Mix half a pint of unslaked lime with the

same quantity of salt, a couple of gallons of water. The water should be

turned on boiling hot. When cold, put in the eggs, which should be

perfectly fresh, and care should be taken not to crack any of them--if

cracked, they will spoil directly. The eggs should be entirely covered

with the lime-water, and kept in a stone pot, and the pot set in a cool

place. If the above directions are strictly attended to, the eggs will

keep good five months. The lime-water should not be so strong as to eat

the shell, and all the eggs should be perfectly fresh when put in, as

one bad one will spoil the whole.
