To Peesbrve Egg's

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Eggs may be preserved in the spring when they are cheap and kept Tor use in the winter, when they are scarce and high in price. Place eggs in water-tight vessel. Dissolve sodiimi silicate or water glass in the proportion of 1 part water glass to 9 parts of water. Pour on eggs, place oh the top an old plate so that they are sure to remain under liquid. Put on the crock cover and tie a paper over the top. When wanted for use, take out of the liquid and wash in cold water. These eggs will be found superior to "cold storage" eggs, and much less expensive if the supply is bought in the spring when they are plentiful.

  3. Eub a little castor oil on warts three or four times a day. Said to be a sure cure.

  4. For tired feet, bathe in water in which sea salt has been dissolved. Do not use very warm water, as that is weakening.

  5. If you spill grease on the floor, pour on quickly some cold water, then scrub up ; or put on soda, and then boiling water.

  6. TO REMOVE IRON RUST. Eub the spot thoroughly with lemon and salt, hold in the steam from the tea-kettle. Repeat until all trace of the rust is removed. This is a much quiclcer way than putting the article in the sun.
