PRESERVE EGGS
FRR WINTER USE
- -
Interesting Experiments at the College
of Agriculture Show What Pre
servatives Are Best.
: By S. R. Stout, Assistant Poultry Hus
bandman, Arkansas Experiment Sta
tion, University of Arkansas.
During the fall and early winter
' eggs are very scarce and high-priced.
| Therefore, we should preserve for win
i ter use in the best possible way all
eggs not used fresh in summer. There
are a number of methods employed for
preserving eggs, some of which are
j water glass, lime water, salt, vaseline
and patent preservatives.
i Last June an experiment was started
at the Arkansas Experiment Station to
ascertain the efficiency of different
egg preservatives that were available
at that time. Seven different preserv
atives were used, namely; Water glass,
i lime water, salt, vaseline, Yankee, E.
Z., and Flemings’ egg preservatives.
The water glass was prepared by
boiling nine quarts of clean water and
then, after it had been allowed to cool,
one quart of water glass was added.
The solution was well mixed and set
aside for a short time. The solution
was poured from one vessel to another
until the solution was well mixed and
cold. The eggs were placed in the
water glass the same day they were
laid and stored in a basement room.
The lime water was prepared in
much the same way as was the water
glass. The eggs wore placed in a sat
urated solution which was made by
slaking a small amount of quick lime
in a small quantity of water. The
milk of lime obtained was added to
i five gallons of clea.n, fresh water. This
solution was well mixed and allowed
to settle. The liquid was then drawn
off, and when it became cool was
poured into earthen crocks. The eggs
were placed in the solution as soon as
they were gathered.
The eggs placed in the salt 'were
packed in common salt, small end
down. Those preserved in 'the patent
preservatives were preserved accord
ing to the directions which accom
panied the preservative. The vaseline
was applied in much the same way as
was. the patent preservatives, by plac
ing a small amount of vaseline in the
palms of the hands and rubbing each
egg well, making sure the entire sur
face was covered. The eggs were all
placed in egg cartons and stored in the
same room with, the water glass and
lime water and salt.
After six months the eggs were
tested by the Home Economics De
partment for their cooking qualities,
with the following results:
Eggs preserved in water glass were
found to resemble fresh eggs more
nearly than did any of the others
They were suitable for cooking, mak
ing custards and cakes. However
they were not good poached. Those ii
the lime water were next in quality
None of the others were as satisfac
tory as the water glass and lime water
There was no difference in the keep
i Ing qualities of fertile and infertile
eggs, nor in the color of the shell
However, this holds good only whei
are laid; otherwise, infertile eggs are
more suitable for preserving.
FRUIT CAN BE PUT
UP WITHOUT SUGAR
Canning Specialists Say Boiling Wa
ter May Be Used Instead of
Syrup.
The present shortage and price of
sugar is no excruse for not. canning a
big surplus. Fruit for use in pies
or stewed fruit can be put up
without the use t of sugar, accord
ing to the canning specialists of
the Extension Division of the Univers
ity of Arkansas. Any fruit may be
sterilized successfully and retained in
the pack by simply adding boiling
water instead of the hot syrup.
Can the product the same day it is
picked. Cull, stem, or seed and clean
the fruit by placing it in a strainer
and pouring water over it .until it is
clean. Pack the product thoroughly
in glass jars'or tin cans until they
are full; use the handle of a table
spoon, wooden ladle, or table knife
for packing purposes. Pour over the
fruit boiling water from a kettle, place
, rubbers and caps in position, partially
t seal if using glass jars, seal complete
ly if using tin cans. Place the con
tainers in a sterilizing vat, such as a
* wash boiler with false bottom, or
* other receptacle improvised for the
* purpose. If using a hot water bath out
* fit, process for thirty minutes, count
> ing time after the water has reached
► the boiling point; the water must
^ cover the highest jar in container. Af
, ter sterilizing, remove packs, seal
> glass jars, wrap in paper to prevent
^ bleaching, and store in a dry, cool
^ place. •
^ If you are canning in tin cans it will
improve the product to plunge the
cans Quickly into cold water lrnme
* diately after sterilization.
^ For instructions on canning peaches,
^ pears, apples, and vegetables, write to
► the Extension Division, Old State
* house, Little Rock, Ark.
