EGGS IN CANS
OFFICIALLY ENDORSED
Hen Fruit Kept in Storage for .
Year is Found TO be Fit for
Eating.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-"One
can OF condensed milk, can OF aspar
agus tips. can of beans, a can OF
beef and can of eggs"
When the American grocer answers
his telephone few years hence he
will probably get some slIch an order
for the department OF agriculture is
doing much to encourage the canning
oe eggs and claims that there are
more logical reasons for canned eggs
than for almost any other food prod
uct now sold in tins.
For one thing canned eggs will be
cheaper than eggs in the shell for they
will have been put in the great egg
producing farm corn belt at time
when hens are laying and fresh eggs
are almost drug on the market. The
cans can be shipped In refrigerator
cars closely packed and there will
be no waste space for cardboard
packing, while the present 10 per
cent loss Of breakage will be saved.
Before the department endorsed
the canning of eggs it's specialists

changes they underwent and what
factors made them spoil. This spoil
ing was found to be due almost en-
tirely to growing bacteria in the egg
a little warmth and a little air, and
the damage was done. With other
rroducts the secret was found to be
absolute cleanliness and heat. With
eggs it Is the same cleanliness COM
bined with good grading and cold.
Canned eggs have been tested after
having been kept in storage year
and their quality and favor found un-
impaired AS one investigator put it.
the chief difference was that you
opened them with can opener in
stead of spoon. They come to the
consumer frozen and when melted
they look and smell like fresh eggs
broken into a bowl and stirred until
the whites and yolks are mixed, ex-
|cept that they are a little thicker.
Similar experiments have been made
with dried eggs or egg powder, and
this, too, VIII keep for months pro-
Ivided it is kept at low temperature.
LIT is hardly possible, therefore, that
canned or dried eggs will be ever
displaced on store shelves.

department regards as a standard

institution. The eggs on their arrival
at the plant are sent to chilled
room and kept there for twenty-four
hours at temperature few degrees
above freezing. Then they are cand-
led and all suspicious ones are dis
carded.
The graded eggs then go to refrig-

as well lighted as 1t Is possible to
make 1t. No dust or flies can get in
and the temperature never rises above

steam proof SO that it can be washed
for breaking the eggs are all metal
so they can be sterilized in live steam.
Before beginning work the operatives
sterilize their hands much as surg
con does before beginning an opera
ton. The similarity also extends to
the DOMINIC of clean white caps and
gowns.
Each egg is broken into q separate
cup and inspected before being put
into the sterilized cans. Every doubt
full egg is discarded. the cup is again
steriHzed and the operatives hands
washed before touching another egg.
In order to make certain that each
egg gets sufficient attention. the egg
breakers are not allowed to exceed
ia definite number Of eggs per hour.
The canning OF eggs is Of immense
benefit to the farmer because 1t pro-
vides him with steady market at
time when warm weather makes It
imperative that he dispose of his
product in a hurry. It Is also mar
ket for small eggs. dark shelled eggs
and other varieties that do not sell
well in the shell.
