Experience has shown that washed eggs are suitable only for immediate consumption, and will not stand up under storage conditions for any length of time. Although the washed egg may get by for a short time. and be quite acceptable on the fresh egg market, its inferiority is immediately levident after a period of storage. ‘ Experiments carried on at several Dominion Experimental Farms have shown that clean eggs which graded 75 per cent specials and 25 per cent extras before storage, graded 85 per cent extras, 12 per cent firsts, and 3 per cent weak and watery after six months’ storage. Dirty , eggs grading similarly when placed in storage came‘ out practically on a par with the clean] _____ made of wood. The books of the .period were full of directions as to how to eat. Owing to over-eating. ‘lack of green vegetables, and un- healthy conditions lives were very short and most people died between the ages of 40 and 50. Endless dis- ease was caused by dirt in the streets and houses. Doctors in those days, and. until the beginning of the nine- teenth century, were hopelessly ignor- ant and must have killed far more people than they cured. No houses. rich or poor. had any passages, so four poster beds with curtains were introduced to secure a little privacy. Carpets had been introduced from the East by the Crusaders and fire places were an improvement on the fires in the middle of the floor.

Tapestry was hung on the walls to keep out draughts, but they had no carpetsâ€"rushes were strewn upon the floors and were very seldom changed. Glass was still too expensive for anything but royal palâ€" aces: and it was risky carrying it over the rough tracks of this period. By royal command. of 1238 a window of glass was put in the Queen's bedroom. “so that the room be not so windy as it used to be." but the houses even of the richest were exposed to all the winds of heaven. The houses of the poor were simply huts. with not even the comforts of cloth or tapestry on the walls or rushes on the floor. Neither rich nor poor had any of the things we consider necessities today. such a! soap. tea. coffee. sugar. tobacco. green vegetables. potatoes, or salt. They had no amusements ex- cept for wandering troupes of mins- trels or singers. Their chief pleasure was their food.

The The last invasion of England was that of the Normans in 1066. Having subdued the entire country they set about the governing thereof and are notable for having introduced taxation. William the Conqueror made the Domesday Book in which ever house. mill, fishpond, field and wood is re- corded, mostly by the names in exist- ence today. On that register the people were taxed. The Normans built themselves very solid castles of stone. but these. though they had windows, had no glass.
