GREEKS a RACE OF SAILORS.

MAKE A NOTE OF THIS.

Commission merchants say that on
an average there is a difference Of
four cents a dozen between soiled eggs
and those that are sent 10 market
bright and clean. and It is not neces-
sary that all the eggs OF a shipment
shall be soiled in order to make
consignment rank as such. Even a
very small proportion OF soiled eggs
in package will cause the whole to
be rated several cents below the mar
ket price. The trampling on the eggs
by the dirty feet Of the hens. fresh
from the moist earth Of the yard, and
the discoloration produced, does not
affect the contents. but 1t gives the
eggs an uninviting appearance. and 1t
is not expected that people will be
Indifferent 10 the looks Of things which
they buy for their table. Poultry
keepers can AFFORD TO take time to
clean the shells Of the eggs which they
send to market when the failure to do
so means the loss Of four cents Q
