WASHINGTON. ID. c., Dec. 1.-The
high-price-of-eggs problem may be
solved. In part. al
Egg "shook least. by little
Recorder" device which has
been invented In
the Philadelphia food research labor
atory OF DR.. Mary T.. Pennington. OF
the United States bureau OF chemistry
and which, 1t Is expected, Will assist
the governments experts In deter.
Mining the causes, for the breakage
of large quantities OF eggs In ship
ment. Contrary TO general opinion,
many food authorities claim that the
high price of eggs ia not caused near
ly as much by the boarding OF them
in cold storage as 1t is by the exces'
sive loss caused by breakage and de-
terlcration because of bad handling.
In the food research laboratory Of
the United States bureau OF chemis
| try at Philadelphia, DR.. Mary K. Pen
nington and her assistants have de-
vised a shock recorder" which VIII
record the time and the kind OF shock
which is received by a crate OF eggs
when breakage is caused. The little
machine records whether the eggs
were broken by perpendicular. hori
zontal or tangential shock. Ii Is ex
pected that this device will help ship
pers and railroads to obtain sufficient
data to investigate the various causes
Of breakage and to check the exces
sive waste which is going on over
the country every year.
When the railroads and shippers
are able to get information on how
and why eggs are broken, 1t Is ex
pected that fully 10 per cent Of the
country's egg supply, which has q
probable total value of $500, 1000, 900
will be saved to the people Of this
country every year. To the person
, who has not made a study OF the
methods Of handling eggs In transit
the breakage problem may seem un
important, but inquiry will develop
the fact that a large percentage Of
eggs are broken In almost every large
shipment, which means. OF course. a
decrease In the supply and higher
prices to the consumers.
The problem OF overcoming the
loss Of eggs through breakage and by
handling is similar to the one which
was faced by the California citrus
fruit growers some years ago. when
excessive quantities of citrus fruits
particularly oranges, were slost
through deterioration In transit for
reasons which at the time were not
definitely known. G. Harold Powell
formerly assistant chief Of the bureau
OF plant industry and citrus fruit ex-
pert Of the department Of agriculture
undertook q series Of Investigations
and found out that the losses OF the
fruit were due to many simple causes
In the clipping OF oranges from the
trees. for instance, under the system
practiced In some orchards. slight in
jury was caused to the skin. These
small punctures In the skin caused
the orange to break down." as the
fruit men say, In the course Of ship
ment and deteriorate greatly. In tht

them were discovered, and finally
through the cooperative efforts OF the
citrus fruit growers, better systemi
of handling were perfected and vast
sums of money we're thus saved to

The Investigations which DIR. Pen
nington Is carrying on with the shock
recorder will bring out many facts
on how and why eggs are broken In
shipment, and authorities will then
be able to work definitely toward
some method Of stopping the exces.
sive brcakage. At the present time
the breakage OF eggs IL taken as q
matter OF course. and farmers have to
stand the loss and consumers have
to pay higher prices for the good eggs
which are obtained.
DR.. Pennington has already found
out that eggs are smashed more at
some times OF the day than at others.
For instance, shipment arriving at
| its destination in the middle OF the
night may be SO carelessly handled
In trucking and unloading from the
car that far greater damage Is done
than the same quantity of eggs
handled during the day. One case
investigated by DR.. Pennington and
her assistants In Philadelphia recent
ly disclosed the fact that the Excess
sively large amount Of breakage was
found In several consignments Of
eggs which had been shipped into
Philadelphia on a train which arrived
at clock In the morning. She in
vestigated carefully the reasons for
this heavy breakage and found out
hat this early morning hour was just
about the time for the change OF the
crew OF men who unloaded the pro
duct, and that In their hurry to get
away they smashed many crates un-
necessarily.
The bureau OF chemistry experts
have also found that good many
eggs are smashed In cars because OF
what is known as "accumulative mo-
ton The constant jar OF the train
gradually draws the crates together
and the pressure finally becomes 60
great that at times even q whole row
OF crates may be smashed.
When the data obtained by means
OF the little shock recorder, which IL
placed in test crates Of eggs, have
been gathered. experts believe that
mears will be soon discovered that
will check such excessive breakage.
and that millions OF dollars thereby
will be saved to the people OF the
country each year.

Ground floor Of model dairy barn.

the conditions of early summer when
the cows are at their best. OF course
that's not easy to do. But you can
give the cows the sunlight, fresh air
and freedom of movement that they
get outside. And those are the most
important requirements Of a modern
dairy barn.
'T like to have just as many win
dows in q dairy barn as / can get"
said Mr. Reed. "It's the one thing
that will keep the barn sanitary. Sun.
shine drives out the dampness and
leaves no place for bacteria to thrive.
You should have at least four square
feet Of glass for every COW.
Choose site for the barn which
is we'll drained. The yards cannot be
kept in good condition II the drainage
is poor. Of course, you must consider
the convenience of your barn, too. A
rectangular barn should stand prefer.
ably north and south. making it pos
sible to get sunlight on both sides at
some time during the day.
"A barn large enough for the herd
mentioned should be about 3Ox66 feet.
The length will vary according to the
size of the stalls. For Holsteins stalls
should be three and one-half feet wide,
but for Jerseys three feet is wide
enough. The size also depends on
whether you desire a small milk room
and bull pen in the barn. With
these added and allowing also for a
box stall and a pen for calves. the
length should be about sixty-six feet
for twenty Jerseys.
THE barn being thirty feet wide
would permit Of the COWS facing one
another with an eight-foot feedway be-
tween the two rows Of stalls. The
managers should be two feet wide;
platforms for stalls four and one-half
feet; cutters eighteen inches and a
passageway back Of the COWS three
feet wide. Some prefer to have the
COWS face out, giving for the reason
that they will have more light and
also that the manure cutters will be
in the center and the manure can be
handled more easily. II the barn is
