The farmers of the country seem to be getting the benefit of their share of the inventions of the age. One of the newest ideas which has to do with the care of farm produce is the following process of keeping eggs. The eggs are flrsr put into a mixture of carbon dioxide and a gas, most always nitrogen and hydrogen at a temperature near the freezing point. The latter gas prevents the development of any organism whiph have not been destroyed and the liquefacation of the albumen is prevented. The cost of this treatment is about 38 cents for one thousand eggs and they can be kept ten months.
