More Eggs Laid.
II soon came about that not only all
the farmers In the community were
furnishing all their eggs to the nsso-
citation, but they were saving their
DulIets and accommodating larger
number OF hens TO produce the eggs,
for which they were receiving so good
a price. The city folk are helped, for
more good eggs reach them and reach
them In better condition.
II vas deemed wise 10 enlarge the
territory covered by the association
and three or four substations for col
iecting eggs we're established. At
each OF these substations, the eggs
brought IN are carefully tested. and
after having been packed are forward
ed 10 Foynes 70 become a part Of
larger shipment TO an English market.
The eggs sent In by each collecting
substnfion are kept separate and test
ed separately so that II any local sub
station takes any bad eggs and for

The irish Wholesale Society.
The Irish Wholesale society Is
central association formed chiefly for
the purpose OF assisting the local or
ganlzation In marketing farm produce.
It is a federation OF local cooperative z
societies. II has headquarters at Dub
lin and Is managed by shrewd, capable )
men. They understand the market
Ing game thoroughly and have many
correspondents at home and abroad.
They are often able to foresee and
prepare for coming demands and are
always able to give valuable sugges- t
tons as to when and where produce o
can be best disposed Of Each week a
this central society sends out 10 con-
Germs like that at Foynes letters OF >
advice giving prices and probable
points to which shipments are to be u
made.
II will be readily understood that al
with skilled marketing man in 81
charge. neither time nor eggs are Il
wasted in shipping to markets which T
ire already flooded with eggs. The p,
has correspondents and :,
business connections which insure :.
lin against any such losses. When -

What the Society Does. II
Last year this Foynes association M
marketed 100000 dozen eggs. The fo
otai expense Of handling all these 81,
gigs and conducting the affairs of the N
ssociation amounted to less than one
uarter of cent per dozen including
eight from substations. drayage, WI
ostage, rent and all other dishurse- TN
rents. is
The association has done so well de

sked the manager to market other BE
'rm products. chiefly poultry, honey an
nd butter. While the association II,

procuring cheap fuel for them. j
