WHEN AN BGG IS FRESH.
Doctor Wiley, the sage of the De

meeting of a Congressional Committee
which is investigating the oost of
food, was asked the question “When
does an egg cease to be fresh?
“That question.” replied the Doe.

when a pig ceases to be a pig and be

Incidentally the Chief Chemist not

practically an
telling when eggs are frevh. - He had
a big glass beaker threequarters
filled with a ten per cont solution of
table salt. Into this be dropped eggs.
All the absolutely fresh eggs Im
mediately sank to the bottom, while
the eggs that weren't quite go fresh
floated a quarter or third out of the
water,
He indcrsed his method and sald
it was possible thereby to prosecute
storage eps as the “strictly fresh”
country variety, Doctor Wiley stated
that he now has only two Inspectors
supervising ecld storage methods, but
with twenty-five of them he believes
it possible to keep a close watch over
the industry all over the country,
and with the adoption of regulations
prescribing the length of time allowed
to food stuffs to remuin In storage,
the public would benefit thereby.
He stated it as his belief that with
& tank of suitable proportion egg
storers could test 5,000 egge at a time
before placing them In storage, in
order to determine the freshness of
the product, for unless the egg Is
in storage, it will deteriorate rapidly
