EASY WAY OF TESTING EGGS How Condition May Be Told to a Certainty Cer-tainty Before They Are Handled. This method of testing eggs, which Was uw-d by our grandmothers, may not have been handed down to all the Housekeeper readers, no I "pass It on" from out of my experience. Kill a glass two thirds full of water and pine the egg in it. A fresh egg will lie flat" on the bottom of the glass, but if It is several weeks old the large end will rise somewhat. If the egg stands vertical In the glass It Is about three months old, and If It floats you may be sure It is unfit for use. The older the egg the more evaporation evap-oration has taken place In It, consequently conse-quently the larger the empty apace in the end of the shell. This makes the egg lighter and causes it to rise higher In the water. The IIouso-keeper.
