Scald
the
young
roots
till
they
become
tender,
peel
them,
and
place
in
cold
water,
frequently
changing
the
water:
then
put

and,
in
a
few
days,
put
into

To
Preserve
Eggs
(1).
It
has
been
long
known
to
housewives,
that
the
great
secret
of
preserving
eggs
fresh
is
to
place
the
small
end
downwards,
and
keep
it
in
that
position--other
requisites
not
being
neglected,
such
as
to
have
the
eggs
perfectly
fresh
when
deposited
for
keeping,
not
allowing
them
to
become
wet,
keeping
them
cool
in
warm
weather,
and
avoiding
freezing
in
winter.
Take
an
inch
board
of
convenient
size,
say
a
foot
wide,
and
two
and
a
half
feet
long,
and
bore
it
full
of
holes,
each
about
an
inch
and
a
half
in
diameter;
a
board
of
this
size
may
have
five
dozen
holes
bored
in
it,
for
as
many
eggs.
Then
nail
strips
of
thin
board
two
inches
wide
round
the
edges
to
serve
as
a
ledge.
Boards
such
as
this
may
now
be
made
to
constitute
the
shelves
of
a
cupboard
in
a
cool
cellar.
The
only
precaution
necessary
is
to
place
the
eggs
as
fast
as
they
are
laid
in
these
holes,
with
the
small
end
downwards,
and
they
will
keep
for
months
perfectly
fresh.
The
great
advantage
of
this
plan
is
the
perfect
ease
with
which
the
fresh
eggs
are
packed
away,
and
again
obtained
when
wanted.
A
carpenter
would
make
such
a
board
for
a
trifling
charge.
