I guess you heard the old saying,
"That'el cure em from sucking eggs". That saying came straight from
old-fashion farm life. Eggs were an important staple for the table, so when
varmints started breaking into the hen-house, something had to be done. The most
common and successful trick was the old pepper-egg trick. The way it was
preformed was to take and egg and drill two small holes in it. Then take and
from one hole, blow the inside of the egg out through the other hole. Then take
wax and seal up one hole. Pour an ingredient of hot, hot pepper mix with water
into the other hole, then seal that hole with wax. Place these spicy eggs among
the other eggs. Those varmints might sample those eggs again, but you can
believe that that will be the last time! You can be assured that they will
strike this food from their menu!
