ecutive.
Mr.. and Mrs. +. M. Marriott and
their son were with the Governor last
summer on a vacation trip through the

tee that an egg would be free from the
taint of incubation. When hens lay
in the same nest and from one to ahalf

the process of Matching has actually
begun before the eggs are gathered
for the market. This is the main cause
why SO many eggs spoil.
The new system is the only one
which prevents eggs from undergoing
some degree Of incubation, because the
egg is taken from the nest immediate
ly after 1t is laid. The invention con-
