the delay and expense involved was
the fact that the egg which started
down the line from the hen as "a
strictly fresh" egg had little chance
of reaching it's destination as anything
but bad egg.
Il a Wasteful, Expensive Process.
The whole process is wasteful. Last
summer in Missouri literally hundreds
of wagon loads Of eggs were driven OF
into the woods and dumped simply
because they had gone bad upon the
hands Of those who were not able to
market them promptly, Then too the
loss and damage from breakage is con.
siderable, and one authority has esti-
mated that the handling of eggs by
those who pack and ship them is so in
expert that each year seventy-five mill
lion dollars worth are broken and lost
in transportation.
Is 1t any wonder that when eggs fln-
ally reach the consumer they often
cost him more than twice what the
farmer received for them? Is 1t any
wonder that the farmer is dissatisfied
sometimes less than one-half what the
consumer pays Is it any wonder the
city man kicks at the price which he
pays. kicks again when he finds that
the high priced eggs are bad eggs.
A Better, More 5uslnessllke Way.
Contrast this method of handling
with the way it is done by the cooper.
alive organizations abroad. Denmark
leads in egg marketing as in the mar.
keting Of almost every other farm
produce. At Frederickssund in Den.
mark, for example. ten thousand farm.

ing points which are located conVe,
niently. Thence they go to the cen
trail station. They are good, clean eggs
too. for not only have they been
promptly gathered and kept in o COO
place, but the nests themselves are
kept clean and fresh. As the egg ID
delivered it is carefully tested; no ege
which is bad either In appearance OF
IN substance, passes m1ter. Every
egg bears a stamp indicSIing who de

er than they were when they were
sold to the ordinary buyer. On the
other hand not penny has been added
to the cost to the consumers, who In
the majority Of instances get eggs
cheaper than they got them before and
OF better quality. The more economic
less wasteful system OF marketing
makes egg production more profitable
to the farmer, leads him to produce
more eggs, increases the supply, and,
by the soundest principles OF practical
business economics, lowers the price
TO the consumer. Here, as In Den.
mark, the farmer who has his own rub.
Der stamp marks each egg for identifi.
cation with certain numbers and mi.
tials. Here, as in Denmark, all dull,
spotted or non-transparent eggs are
rejected and returned to the sources
from which they were collected. The
company settles its accounts with its
members for eggs delivered monthly,
but all dealings with consumer and re.
taller are for the most part upon a
cash basis.

Copenhagen, Denmark. - Did you
know that the people in New York

dozen Of eggs every year and that

expert has estimated that each year
America eats something like one thou

How Eggs Spoil.
When the farmer used to go to town
his wife went along with basket of
eggs containing possibly four or six
or ten dozen OF them. These eggs were
delivered to the general country store
keeper and instead of paying for them
In cash the merchant gava trade in
exchange. The price of eggs was low
and when the price was further re-
duced BY translation into sugar or COT
fee at high price the results were Of
no great significance. Egg selling
then was In fact a small business. AS
small business it was not for long
time developed along scientific lines.
The hen laid only when the weather
course, but 1t was likely to lie around
In dirty nest until time and a summer
heat made It very bad egg to look
at and a worse egg to eat Not all
eggs spoiled but SO many went bad
that scattered through the lot sent in
by the farmer they lowered the grade
Of all SO that even the freshest went
only as eggs" because no one knew
they were strictly fresh"
Strictly fresh eggs were practically
unobtainable as a matter of fact Aft
er the farmers wife delivered the eggs
to the merchant he kept them around
few days or maybe weeks until he
had fairly large shipment. They
might be in the cellar and they might
be in the back of the store where 1t
was warmer, but at any rate they
gained nothing in flavor or quality
from his storage Then he sent them
to some merchant In the county
seat nearby. This dealer kept them
awhile until an accumulation made a
shipment possible to the city commits
sion merchant in Milwaukee, Boston
or Kansas City. They then might be
sold by the commission agent to the
retail trade or they might be put in
cold storage or they might be shipped
to some distant place. But you may
rest assured that 1t was some time be-
fore the egg laid on the farm found
its way to the breakfast table Of the
city consumer. Much time had been
consumed. unnecessary expense had
been incurred in going through this
slow, unbusinesslike, unscientifc sys
tenn of distribution. But worse than
