Preservation of eggs in water glass. — Water glass may be ob- tained in the form of a powder. It should be dissolved in an amount of water as stated in directions on the package. Commercial water- glass solution may be obtained from any drug store but is less re- liable since it varies in concentration more than the other form. If the commercial water-glass solution is to be used, mix 1| quarts with 18 quarts of pure water; water that has been boiled is preferable. Stir the mixture until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. A stone jar is the most suitable vessel for the mixture. Two 8-gallon jars are sufficient for 30 dozen eggs
