Thinks Millions Sauandered.

Certainly It's a failuie-in the sense
that we have been squandering many
millions for an imperfect water supply
when a simple enforcement of common
sense sanitary laws already on our statute
books would restore the Hudson River 10
her pristine purity and give all Of our
people within reach OF the river an mex
haust!ble supply Of pure spring water at
the mere cost Of iron pipes between
Poughkeepsle and the metropolis.
'In other words. the best water IN the
world should cost New York next 10 moth
ing as compared TO the present extrava-
CANT piece Of hydraulic engineering, which.
so far as know. is the most costly oque-
duct ever built since the days OF Pharaoh,
and one that is likely 20 prove its In
efficiency within ten years"

SOUTH DAKOTA NEWS
Better Eggs

Better Eggs
The South Dakota state food and drug
department has issued the following
bulletin to producers and dealers in
eggs:
While the quality of eggs marketed
and sold in this state has improved
greatly the last two years. due to the
greater care exercised by the farmer
and merchant, the situation is yet far
from satisfactory. There is still a dis
position among many farmers TO be
careless and Indifferent in the matter
@ot handling and marketing their eggs
and this is also true OF altogether too
many merchants.
1t is claimed that 10 per cent of all
the eggs sold in this state during June,
July and August are ''rotton," while
So per cent are seconds. These riots"
and second represent an average loss
of Owe $l.00 on every case Of eggs the
farmer sells. A large part of this loss
can be stopped il the farmers and mer-
chants will follow the suggestions given
herewith:
To II FARMER:
/. Provide plenty of clean, dry nests,
one for every four or five hens, so that
they will not be compelled to make
nests In the weeds or under buildings.
q. Gather your eggs at least once a
day. Better twice a day during the hot
weather and on rainy days.
8. Market your eggs at least twice a
week during the summer months.
4. Keep your eggs in a cool and dry
place. Don't keep them in a warm
kitchen or a dry cellar.
s. D1n't wash eggs for this win cause
them to spoil. Use the dirty eggs at
home.
6. Don't market eggs that have been
gathered from a stolen nest. Such eggs
should be used at home where the Tad
ones can be eliminated at the time of
using.
z. Don't sell incubator eggs.
8. Don't market extra large double
yolked). small or cracked eggs.
3. Don't expose the eggs to the sum-
umer sun when taking them to market.
40. Don't sell eggs case count, but
I demand that they be candled.
IL. Keep your eggs in clean cases
and filters, with plenty of packing on
top and bottom of each case to prevent
ybreakage when taken to market.
IL. Don't allow the male birds with
the flock after the Matching season.
Practical tests have shown that infer
tile eggs keep best.
To EGG DEALERS;
\. Don't keep your eggs in a warm
back room OF a damp basement.
2 Ship your eggs often; at the least
twice a week during summer months.
8. Refuse to accept cracked. spoiled
o dirty eggs. Return all rejects eggs
to the customer. This will avoid posi-
BILE misunderstanding and dissatisfac-
ton.
5 Ship your eggs in clean. unbroken
cases and filters, thus avoiding loss by
breakage or spoilage.
s. All eggs sold between June LIST and
February LIST. should be sold on the
@'loss off, or "candled" basis, ia accor-
dance with the ruling issued Il rec years
ago. Any shipment of Eggs between
the dates mentioned is more than likely
TO contain bad eggs, and under our law
it is a misdemeanor. punishable by a
maximum fine of $4,000 for the first
offense, to sell. offer for sale. ship or
deliver for shipment Eggs that are FL
thy or unfit for food.
