due to the spelling of eggs, which
could be largely prevented by improy-
ed methods. and in this article the
causes of such loss are pointed ont
and suggestions made for remedying
them.
According to Mr.. Hastings, the bulk
of the poultry wealth in the United
States is to be found on the general
farms of the Mississippi Valley. Some
idea of the growth of the poultry in
dustry on these farms is shown in the
case of the State of Kansas where ex.
elusive farms are practically unknown
yet the value of poultry and eggs sold
has increased over a million dollars
each year for the past five years.
The total loss to the egg trade caus-
ed by needless deterioration runs in
to large figures The causes of the
losses and their estimated proportion
to the total crop value are summed up
as follows; Dirty eggs, 9 per cent;
breakage, 2 per cent; chick develop
ment or heated eggs, per cent;
shrunken or held eggs, 5 per cent; rot
ten eggs. 2.5 per cent; mouldy or bad
flavor 0.5 per cent; total II per cent
The loss from chick development or
heated eggs is probably greater than
from any other source, and is especial
ly heavy during the summer in the
South and West, where it amounts
to % or 80 per cent OF the eggs pro-
duced during the heated season. The
responsibility for heated eggs is al
most wholly with the farmer, although
the rural buyer and the freight hand
Ter are in nowise innocent.
ITO save the millions of dollars
which are carried down our sewers in
the shape of bad eggs" says Mr..
Hastings, I'VE must have, first, cam
.paign of education among egg producers
that will show every farmers wife
that when eggs are allowed to remain
in damp nests, under broody hens, or
in hot kitchens there is a loss in
quality which means an actual loss in
money to herself and to her neighbors;
and secondly, system of buying eggs
that will as nearly as possible recon-
pense every producer who sells eggs
exactly in accordance with what those
eggs are worth Above all else, the
infallible rule concerning the market
ing of eggs is for the farmer to sell
his eggs as soon as possible after they
are laid
The profits of the city retailer are
by far the largest item in the market
ing of eggs. An approximate idea OF
the profits of the various handlers OF
eggs may be obtained from the follow
ing figures showing the elements of
cost of a dozen eggs purchased by a
New York consumer:

Cost TO consumer


In the opinion of Mr.. Hastings, the
greatest handicap to the egg trade is
the general store, with it's custom OF
bartering merchandise for eggs. TIE
storekeeper reckons his profit on
goods as more than his loss on eggs.
He does not try to enforce improve
ment upon his patrons by buying on a
quality basis, and with the advantage
his peculiar position gives his he
keeps the other egg buyers from doing

The defeat of state prohibition in

The defeat of state prohibition in
Alabama last week by an appar-
entity overwhelming majority is
hailed by the whiskey press. which
includes practically all the large
metropolitan dailies, as an indica-
tion that the prohibition wave has
reached lie crest, if tis not already
receding. Spreading this view of
the Alabama election is of course
the work of the brewery and
whiskey interests. In the failure
of the Prohibitionists to carry this
election they have not met de
feat from an honest expression of
public sentiment upon the ques-
tion, but they simply did not have
sufficient control of that sentiment
to meet the corrupt means resorted
to by the brewery and whiskey
combine to get a majority of the
votes. That is all there is to it;
the prohibition movement pro-
crosses, regardless of this, and
must continue to do so as long as
it has the sanction of human reas-
on, for intelligent reasoning can
not lend support to the liquor traf-
tic. Should Missouri have to vote
upon state. wide prohibition next
year, as now seems probable, any
amount of money will be spent to
defeat it, and we will witness such
a campaign of corruption and de-
bauchery that all thoughtful peo-
pie, regardless of how they may
view the question at issue. must
deem a reproach to the community.
Men will suffer this shame 10 be
for only one thing-greed; for that
one thing is the sole support of
the liquor traffic. License this
greed, and you submit to all the
evils that follow it.
