NEW YORK. - Produce dealers

NEW YORK. - Produce dealers
~ throughout the country are watch
Ing with interest the enforcement of
the, ordinance recently passed in New
York requiring dealers to sell eggs by
the pound. When eggs are sold by the
pound the buyer is more likely to get
all that Is coming to him. It is con-
coded that fresh egg of average size
weighs more than one that is stale.
there being always mere or less evapo-
ration when an. egg comes out Of stor-
age. The difference is about an egg
to the pound. eight fresh eggs being
equal to nine out of storage.
1t is only the idealist or the optimist
who believes that eggs are either good
or bad, with no halfway about the
matter. Really this is a fond delusion.
There are as many grades of eggs as
there are ways Of making an omelet.
The range is all the way from that
rare article, the honestly labeled
strictly fresh egg down to the "cull. "
The Gull is doubtful egg from the
start. but sometimes deposits, and
energies months later. Even then it
is not as low as an egg can sink, for
there is the desiccated egg, which was
laid In China, and has been a world
traveller before getting to the ultimate
consumer here.
These. desiccated eggs are removed
from their shells in China, put into
cans with preservatives, and then
shipped across the Pacific and the con-
tinent to this city, where they are sold
IN bulk for use in bread and pastry
making In the cheaper bakeries. Some
doubt has been raised as to the nutri-
tive value and legality of those fresh
CHINA eggs as food product. But
they have one great advantage, from
the consumers point of view-no way
has been discovered yet of putting
them into shells and selling them as
fresh laid eggs from Long Island
farm.
New Workers are not apt to get any,
thing more foreign in the way of eggs
In their shells than the product of the
memories of Germany and Austria.

Sell Eggs by the Pound in New York

Within week, $4,000 dozen of eggs
from those countries have been receiv-
ed In New York City by way of Hull,
England, and are now in the local mar
wet AS many more are on the way,
and they sell for few cents less than
the American egg. Covered with
paraff1n preparation which excludes
the air, they remain in the fresh"
class for a long time.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, the veoern-
ment food expert, told congress-
through a committee, that there is on
" one sure way to get a fresh egg
that is to watch the hen, seize her egg
the instant she lays 1t. boil 1t or Try
it ON the spot and eat Immediately be-
fore q commission merchant or cold
storage man sees you. That Is not
always practicable. Another test is to
drop the egg in a bowl of water con-
tanning a 10 per cent solution OF COM
mon salt. If the egg sinks 1t Is fresn;
If it floats it is only fresh in trade
sense, which is an entirely d1herent
matter. Just what a poor showing the
eggs consumed in this city every day
would make under such a test Is
shown by simple sum in arithmetic.
Assuming that the population Of
New York City is 100000, there are
enough eggs sold for every man, wo-
man and child in the town to have one
a day. Putting it in the figures of the
trade, there are $4,000 cases of eggs
used by the New York people every
week. Each case contains thirty
dozen. so the total for every seven-day
period is 100000 dozen, or approx
mately 2S,O00,OOO eggs. That is what
the town eats. But the receipts OF
the genuine fresh eggs sold there with
in a week after their production on
nearby farms do not exceed 100000
eggs, as against that total of 28,O00,-
600. So the $4,000, 900 and odd eggs
must come out of the cold storage and
from the foreign supaly and the ship
ments from remote sections of this
country.
1t is possible that if the New York
idea of selling eggs Gy the pound
proves practical and satisfactory other
cities may follow suit. If they do the
wholesaler declares thu retailer must
rearrange his prices to suit. So far as
the former is concerned the rates are
not affected. The average weight of a
case of eggs Is from As to So pounds,
dependable upon freshness and size.

years old when in 1895 she married the Duke of
Marlborough. Her splendid fortune was used in
part to pay the debts of the young duke and to

time the union was happy one. King Edward
was much impressed by the charm of the Ameri-
can girl and her position in British society was
assured. But the duke failed to appreciate the

accomplished wife and placing SO many mill
