according to the grade There Is one
thing that every farmer does know.
and that il, that in most cases eggs
collected IN the farm are seldom
sorted. but are sold Just as they are
collected, and II Il left to tho buyer
to grade the eggs 80 that they may
be placed upon the market in proper
shape, and at prices fixed according
to their value.
Tho simple act Of grading eggs,

who travels from farm to farm. or
BY the commission merchant who
handles them In a lots, may not
appeal-in fact does not appeal to
most farmers as being important: yet
this simple act affords the man who
does 1t q great deal Of pront-a
profit that would have gone into the
farmers pocket II the farmer him

grading them, and know how It
should be done.
