Preserving Eggs.

Eggs should keep quite well for two or three months In a cool dry cellar. They would deteriorate somewhat in that time, but would probably be stale, not decomposed. Eggs in cold storage are kept in a cold dry air. Dampness in the storage rooms will affect the pasteboard fillers in the cases and impart a most disagreeable odor and taste of wet brown cardboard to the eggs. So far as I have seen reports of tests with water glass, says a writer in Farm-Poultry, the eggs have been put in stone jars and the jars covered.
