Karma to ya for the leg work and info
Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every living creature that moves on the ground. Genesis 1:28 The Lord God used animal skins and made some clothes for the man and his wife. Then he put the clothes on them. Genesis 3:21So take your bow and arrows and go hunting and kill an animal for me to eat. Genesis 27:3

I have a book called "Dr. Chases Recipes Information for Everybody" In it he speaks of preserving eggs for winter use. Now keep in mind this book was written in 1902 when they had very minimal refrigeration and not even sure it would work, so I am posting this for INFORMATION purpose's only. He recommends the following:
For every 3 gallons of water put 1pt. of fresh slacked lime, and common salt 1/2 pt.: mix well, and let the barrel be added half full of this fluid. then with a dish let down your fresh eggs into it, tipping the dish after it fills with water, so they roll out without cracking the shell, for if the shell is cracked the egg will spoil.
If fresh eggs are put in fresh eggs will come out, for I have seen men keep eggs for 2 even 4 years at sea. A piece of board may be laid across the top of the eggs and alittle lime and salt kept upon it, to keep the fluid as strong on the top as on the bottom. This will not fail you. They must always be covered in brine Families in towns and cities can have eggs all winter at summer prices. I have put up 40 doz. with this process with entire success.
English Patented Method: Put into a tub 1 bu. Winchesters measure, of Quick lime ( which is fresh slaked lime) , salt 32 oz., Cream of tarter, 8 oz. Using as much water as to give the Constancy to the composition as will cause and egg to swim with its top just above the liquid. Then put and keep the eggs there in, which will preserve the eggs perfectly sound for at least 2 yrs.
Persons thinking the English method more safe can follow this plan. I desire to give all information I have on each subject.
HB Ken speaking: I found this very interesting and have never heard of it before reading this book. I have NOT tried these methods to insure they are even sound and do not know the effects lime would have upon the body, so if you try these methods of preserving eggs you do so at your own risk. I claim no responsibility!
