HOW TO PACK EGGS FOR LONG KEEPING.

THE yolk of the egg spoils much quicker than the white. For this reason it is important that the yolk should be surrounded with a layer of the white. If the egg is placed on the side or large end, the heavy yolk will settle to the bottom and come in contact with the shell, which admits the air. If it is placed on the small end, it will always have a layer of white between it and the shell. Eggs absorb odors easily, therefore only odorless materials should be used when packing them.—Ladies' Home Journal.
