The Richmond climax. (Richmond, Ky.) 1897-1914, 1914-02-11

year when climatic conditions pre-
clude egg production almost entirely
over much of our reproducing terri
tory, it is plain that some provision
for these months of scarcity must be
made from the season of plenty if
eggs are to appear the year round on
the tables of any except wealthy
people. Therefore we must study and
work for increased egg production.
Let us see what sorts of eggs are
found on our markets. Here are rot
ten, broken, cracked, dirty, stale and
shrunken eggs, and last-unfortunate-
ly many times least-are the fresh,
sound, clean eggs, which the market
calls "firsts." The causes contributing
to this list of undesirable and loss
producing grades are mainly three:
% Climatic conditions; CD careless
or deliberately bad marketing; 80

to size, freedom from dirt and cracks,
and freshness.
Size, cleanliness, cracks and color
may be readily determined by inspec-
ton. Freshness, in the sense of a
high-quality, firm-bodied egg, is deter
mined by a process known as can
ding" The egg candle consists of a
bright light, protected on all sides by
an opaque shield in which are one or
/ two oval holes a little smaller than
the egg. The eggs are firmly pressed
against these holes and, as the light
shines through, the yolk and white
may be seen, as we'll as the air space
at the large end of the egg and any
foreign bodies that may be present.
An egg which has just been laid and
is still warm, entirely fills the shell.
But as it cools to the temperature of
the air it contracts, leaving a small
space at the large end of the egg
empty. AS the egg ages this space
increases in size, due to the escape
of moisture from the egg through its
shell. When the air space becomes

Richardson, a former English au-

large dimensions, active gait, lively
and clear eyes, an every-ready and

Doldness. The goose should be chosen
for her weight of body, steadiness of
department, and breadth of foot

of other excellencies.

END is IN SIGHT.

Washington, August 10. - AL
though administration leaders in Con-
gross believe the regular business Of
the session can be completed soon
after September l, some of them fear
possible emergencies that may arise
through the war in Europe will make
it imperative that Congress remain
in Washington. Talk about the Cap
itol, however, is that if developments
of the next few weeks indicate no
trouble in prospect for the United
States, the signal may be given to
wind up the legislative program and
adjourn for the fall campaign.
Several Senators point to the fact
that great alarm would have been
aroused when the European nations
c!ashed. With banks demanding
emergency currency legislations,
Congress would have been called In
extra session. The passing Of the
emergency currency amendment, and
he progress already made toward
emergency shipping legislation, Sen
ators declared, have done much to
,llay fears. The Senate plans to pass
he latter bill on Tuesday.
The Clayton antitrust bill, TO sup
element the Sherman law, then will
e taken up. Senate and House con-
ferees meanwhile will endcavor to
agree on the Federal trade commls-
sion bill.
The Foreign Relations Committee
is undertaking to comply with the
urgent request of the President, that
the new peace treaties with twenty
foreign nations be ratified.
