Berlin, April 26, 1820.
_For preserving Eggs._--In March, put about half a pound of
quick lime in a stone or earthen pot, and add a gallon of cold
water;--next day fill the pot with new eggs, tie a paper over it and
put the pot in a cool place. The eggs will be found perfectly good
after being kept a year.
It is quite necessary to keep lime in the walks of your hens, as it
causes their laying eggs throughout the winter.
