that the merchant Is compelled to take
them or lose their trade. Second. and
by far the greatest reason, is because
of ignorance on the part Of the farm
er as to what and how to sell eggs.
When the hens on the farm are
producing enough eggs to warrant the
farmers taking them to town, ar
rangements should be made to handle
all of them properly A convenient
and clean place should be provided
wherein the hens can lay. The nat
ural tendency OF hen Is to go off
in the weeds and make her nest. This
should not be tolerated and any eggs
found in such places should be marked
and kept at home.
When the clean, fresh eggs are
battered they should be put in q
clean, dry, cool place until marketed.
Even though the place is clean and
cool, if it is not dry, molds, etc, will
commence development and the eggs
will soon spoil If the eggs become
damp and they happen to be in con-
tact with any colored material they,
will Immediately become stained.
Good egg cases in cool, dry, clean
place, kept up OF Of the floor. make
an excellent receptacle in which to
keep eggs previous to marketing:
Before these eggs are set aside for
market, they should be gone over by
the farmer as he collects them, and
all small, stained, dirty, doubtful. in
cubator and rotten eggs should be
removed. Small and dirty eggs, If
used Immediately, are just as good as
large clear ones, but they will not
sell well on the market, and II sent
In with good eggs will spoil the trade.
Therefore, they should be kept and
used at home. No eggs should be
washed, for the packers claim they
will not keep we'll. All eggs from
stolen nests, whose freshness is doubt
flu. and all incubator eggs should
either be thrown away, boiled for the
little chicks or used at home They
should never be sent to market Rot
ten eggs need not be discussed Any
person who will send one to market
deserves all the penalty possible from
the pure-food law.
When eggs have been properly
gathered, handled and kept previous
to taking to market, the question
Of the number Of trips to town should
be considered. In hot weather tho
eggs should be marketed two or three
times per week, and oftener il pos
sible If that number of trips cannot
be made, cooperate with neighbor
and have him alternate days in the
trips which must be made.
In the fall and spring eggs should
be marketed at least once week.
Many buyers have had trouble in No
vember with eggs classed as held
eggs These are common, because
most farmers believe that after frost
eggs will not rot SO quickly, but never
theless they do eyaporate and the air
cells In them show the Gambler that
they are stale
Therefore, the more often eggs are
marketed, the greater are the chances
that they viii be good.
