The eggs from which our photograph was taken are "live eggs," and if properly handled will hatch out in the spring. In order to bring about this result care must be taken that they do not become too warm; freezing will not hurt them, but heat or dampness will cause them to hatch or spoil.
Forty thousand eggs weigh about one ounce, and when hatched will produce about one hundred pounds of fresh cocoons.
