they would stretch around the world
over seven times, and would go around

wide. The product handled for daily
consumption last year, at an average

history of eggs, farmers employed
primitive methods for the preservation
Of eggs In store for the winter months,
when the supply is almost cut off and
the market price abnormally high. In
January the price often used to run as
high as 90 and 60 cents a dozen, while
In the spring and early summer the
supply was a drug and dear at from 4
to 8 cents. The eggs were packed in
oats or sawdust and also in preserving
fluids. This process was far from sat
i%sfactory. The preserving fluids had
a tendency to weaken the shells. A
process came into use by which the
eggs were dried by artificial heat and
ground up into the shape of meal for
packing. Such egg meal found favor
with bakers and was practicable for
use on ocean vessels. The cold storage
of preservation was hit upon,
and 1t has assumed vast proportions,
millions of dollars being expended in
plants. Notwithstanding alleged dis
:overies by which eggs can be manu-.
tactured, no process has been found
successful up to date. No egg has ever
been manufactured except at a great
err cost than the production Of the nat
