Fresh Eggs.

How old must an egg be to be
strictly fresh? We would say that that
would dedpend on the weather, says
the Epitomist. During cold weather
a week old egg will be strictly fresh,
but half that time is all that will be
allowed during warm weather. We
have been asked how to preserve eggs
so as to keep them fresh from three
to six months. There is no way that
it can be done. Unlike wine, eggs do
not improve with age. A fresh egg
must be fresh laid or it will not be
fresh. Packed eggs are sold for such
and can be readily told by almost any
one. BY far too many people pay too
little attention to gathering and SELL
ing their eggs. They seem to think
that the egg from the new nest is as
good as any, or eggs kept for two
weeks are fresh eggs. This is not so,
and when taken to the store or sold,
it is purely dishonest. During hot
weather eggs ought to reach the con-
sumner when not over three days old to
be strictly fresh. AS we have stated
before, we have had some experience
in buying eggs from farmers for our
| large retail trade in fancy" goods.
While we can always rely on eggs from
certain farms, we look closely at eggs
from probably the next farm. We
were asked the other day IL we didn't
think that a person could rely on get
ting really fresh eggs by offering a
cent or two more than the market
! price for eggs. We answered with an
emphatic no. To illustrate this point:
A certain party near here gets eggs.

foe to a young turkey in confinement.
I have always kept my coops on the
ground. An experienced raiser who
has tried floors prefers the ground, as
it is more natural and healthful. I
think it is a good plan to keep a box
skunk trap set at night near the coops.
