Some "Fresh'' Eggs That Fresh"
Countryman Sells.-A Towson man bad q
pretty good trick played on him by fellow
| who drives around the country buying up eggs
| and other produce and then selling To cuslo-
| mers along his route to Baltimore This man
was buying eggs to hatch in his incubator but
| was meeting with very poor success although
he was assured by the man who sold them to
him that they were ''all perfectly fresh country
| eggs"
| One day the Towson mans wife wanted to
use some eggs and instead of sending to the
| store for them thought she would save time by
taking some of those her husband had bought
for his incuba tor and which we're still in the
cellar. The first one she broke contained
well formed chick and the next one showed
that it had been in an incubator about ten or
twelve days. She then gave it up, having come
| to the conclusion that they were not the kind
| Of eggs she wanted for table use.
The man who bought the eggs for his incu-
| bator is no longer surprised why he met with
| such poor success III Matching them. He had
been frequently heard to say they were per
| fectly fresh country aggs' because the man he
| bought them from said so. He concludes now
that they had been in another mans incuba-
tor before they reached his.
