Box for Carrying Egas.

Most poultrymen are familiar with the
egg carriers used on the market and those
who have a considerable quantity CT eggs
to handle use these carriers. The farmer,
however, is in the habit OF earring eggs
to the market in a basket and often many
of them become broken, resulting In con-
siderable loss. The illustration shows one
Of the boxes which may be made from
cheap material and which will answer as
well as the boxes sold for the purpose.
Any grocer who handles quantities OF
shipped eggs will give a customer some

in the crates; then buy some cracker
