EGGS BY WEIGHT.

The Legislature Of Massachusetts,
has lately passed law making it
necessary that dozen eggs weigh
one and one-half pounds. This is a
moresin the right direction, and we
hope that all Of the othe1 States
may speedily follow the goodexample
set by M massachusetts,. 1t is annoy
ing to the breeder of bjooded and fine
fowls to find, when he offers for sale
eggs nearly twice as large as his
neighbors, that they bring no more
per dozen than do the smaller ones
Also, the consumer is often vexed
to find that be must pay the same
price to-day for dozen eggs weigh
ing but pound that he yesterday
paid for a dozen weighing a pound
and halt. Besides, an egg from q
we'll. fed fowl is heavier aud richer
than an egg from common fowl
that is only half fed, so that weight
compared to size is an indication Of
richness. Thus, eggs of which eight
will weigh a pound are better and
richer thSn those OF comparatively the
sans size of which ten are repaired
for a pound.
OF course, with eggs at three or
four cents doz8n--and the writer
Of this has seen hundreds Of dozens
sold at theselfgures 1t Is not much
matter as tothe size but when the
price ranges from twenty-five to sixty
cents per dozen, it is matter worth
looking after,
It's Aigh fine that this old style
Of selling and buying poultry and
eggs BY the piece should be discon-
tinued. If'is relic of the past, ard
reminds lis Of the tine when dressed
hogs sold for dollar each without
