Palis, with covers, holding from iwelve dozen upwards, may be bought at any fronmonger's, and the waterglass should be made according to directions on the tin, but one pound of waterglass to one gallon of water are the usual quantities to use,
After mixing the waterglass with the boiling water, take care to stir until the preservative las dissolved; it must get quite cold before pouring the solution over the eggs, to a depth of an Inch above the top layer.
If only small quantities are re- quired to be pickled, a few 7 lb. earthenware Jam Jars, each cover- ed with a plaic, will serve the purpose.
With a cold, damp cloth wipe all eggs which are not apaticasly clean and place them, small end down, in watever vessel is most sultable to your requirements.
Now pour the cold solution over the eggs, and cure should be taken lo nee that every egg is complete- ly Immersed and the quid reach- Ing die necessary height above the top layer.
