HOW TO MARKET EGGS.

Fully so per cent. of the eggs that
come to market are so carelessly pack.
ed that their value is reduced fully
one-third. No attention whatever is
paid to their appearance. and a case
of eggs will contain some of all sizes,
colors and shapes. many of which are
covered with filth and feathers.
In order to command the highest
price eggs should be gathered and de-
livered promptly. Any that are soiled
should be washed. and the entire lot
sorted and packed. according to size
and color. The large white eggs and
the large brown eggs by themselves.
while the small eggs should be in class
No. 2. Consumers will gladly pay a
premium for eggs that have an invit-
ing appearance
In addition to .he treatment of the
eggs the case should BE clean and
the card board filings should be new.
Eggs should never be packed in boxes
or barrels. no matter how short the
distance to market. Ii private custo.
mers are supplied. small cases holding
from one TO dozen eggs should be
used. They cost but little. and when
emrtied can be gathered UP and used
again.-Eome and Farm.

conditions. for too little lime may be
Of no service, while too much may
cause injury. The selection of live
stock depends upon the fertility of the
farm. Some breeds can forage better
than others. some can find subsist-

plowed, and some require less care
than others; but there are breeds
which thrive only on luxuriant pas
turage. and which demand attention
during all seasons of the year. On
certain farms only the active breeds
are suitable, but on other farms the

breeds that give a return for the extra

cent. of free sulphuric acid and
twenty per cent. OF fuo-in. as pre-

superphosphategy gypsum. sulphuric
acid. etc. BY this stall method is
meant the plan of supplying plenty of
bedding in the stalls until it reaches
an inconvenient height or until there
is spare time to fork it out. When
carefully managed ii is not a dirty
plan. The greatest objection for an
Eastern farmer is the immense amount
of bedding needed He no longer
has much straw to spare, while leaves
free from sticks and burrs are hard
to get in sufficient quantities and diff,
cult TO store under cover In the
case of milk farmers, too. the system
when known is liable to arouse pre-.
JUDGE on the part of consumers. For
quantity and quality of manure made,
nothing could be better than the stall

reasons noted. II does not gain much
