Size of EGG.

The size of an egg depends much on
the breed or in the selection of birds
which lay large eggs. Pullets lay eggs
smaller than hens. There is slightly
greater food value per pound in q
large eggs than small one owing to
the greater percentage of shell. The
American markets do not recognize
the sale of eggs by weight. In Den
mark all eggs are purchased from the
farmers in this manner and the plan
has much to commend it. Some form
of discrimination against the small
egg is needed.
