The day for safely marketing rotten eggs
and eggs about ready to hatch is over and
both farmer and merchants have ample
reason for being exceedingly careful OF
the hen fruit they dispose of as otherwise
the consequences may be exceedingly un-
pleasant. A government inspector recently
hung around a store in an Iowa town, and
when a farmer brought in some eggs he
said he wanted some fresh eggs and took
the lot. Several of them proved to be rot
ten and the farmer was assessed $40 by
Uncle Sam under the pure food las, ii
the merchant had taken the eggs and dis
posed of them to his customers he would
have been liable to the same fine. The
only safe rule known for both farmer and
merchant is to candle heir eggs SO thai
they are giving the purchaser what she OF
he pays for.
