count SYSTEM. has proven detri-
mental to quality. Briefly, case-count
buying consists Of the payment of a
fixed price which happens to be cur
rent at the time for each and every
oozcn which may be offered for
sale, regardless of whether the
eggs are good bad or indif1er-
ent. The only requisite in most cases
t. c~onSummate q sale is for Zach
egg to have an intact shell. No more
practical step can be taken in lmprOv-
ms quality than To discard this sNs-
tenn Of buying and replace it by the
one known to the trade as Oft.
Where the "loSs-off' system is In
use the esgs as bought are "candled,'
that is, subjected to d test which
shows quite definitely their condition
and quality. BY this test, It is posi-
lie to detect riots spots and other
deteriorated g such as shrunken,
weak. watery and heated eggs. In
paying for eggs bought on this basis
the rotS and usually the spots anG
blood rings are thrown out entirely
so that they become a dead loss to the
person responsible tor them. Such a
classification and method of payment
is q distinct step forward and results
