They retain the normalegg odor, are palatable, and may be prepared for thetable in any manner, as boiled, scrambled or poachedeggs, for example. Water-glass, or sodium silicate, has pronounced anti-septic properties. Furthermore, it seals the pores of theshells very quickly, and in this way serves to keep outmicroorganisms. It does not sterilize the contents of theegg, nor does it act even as an antiseptic within theshell, which it does not penetrate, at least to any appre-ciable extent. Very low temperature is not necessary,apparently, in this method. Hence, the only safeguardof the contents of the egg against bacterial decomposition. /ViNNERoFr]R5T,SHAPEV°LoR5PK]AL,B0ST0)iJAN9-)31912BRfcD^p QWKED BY SANBORN. BUFF WVANDOTTK HEN. While visiting breeders in England, in 1905, we were urged by a very success-ful exhibitor of Yorkshire to secure Buff Wyandottes for him whenever we sawany at Amercian shows that appeared to be sure winners. The above firstprize hen at Boston last winter, bred by Dr. N. W. Sanborn, Holden, Mass., is thefirst Huff Wyandotte hen that seemed to us that one might take chances on asan international winner. There are very few that ever approach her Sanborn is to be congratulated on producing such a bird. When exhibitedat Boston she needed a few days more to complete her growth of plumage andthen we could have said that we had never seen a better one. For a number ofyears Dr. Sanborn studied to improve Ids Wyandottes as egg producers. Forthe past several years lie has been bringing up their show qualities, and this hen|s proof that he is succeedi
