In Germany the eggs are marketed
much as they are In Denmark. In the
one province Of Hanover there are for
example one hundred forty-two coop
erative poultry societies. Some or
these combine the breeding Of poultry
or the other forms Of cooperation with
the selling Of eggs. Ninety-eight egg
societies, however, are devoted en-
tirely 10 egg selling and in the year
1910 disposed of 27,500,000 eggs real
izing therefrom over S400.0O0OO for
distribution among their cooperative
members.
To belong to the society each farmer
pays an entrance fee of twenty-five
cents; shares in the society cost each
$1.25 of which, however, only twelve
cents is paid down. the balance being
gradually paid by distribution of div
idends upon the trading profits The
cooperative society at Hanover owns
a substantial brick egg house from
which 100000 eggs are sold each year
The collector who is paid soc for every
one thousand eggs collected calls once
a week at the farm house OF each
member of the cooperative egg sell
ing society. The woman who tests,
sorts and packs the eggs is paid tif-
teen cents for every one thousand
eggs passing through her hands. A
clerk from a neighboring dry goods
store attends to the billing and keeps
the books of the society, receiving
twenty-five cents for every one thou
sand eggs handled and recorded. Sum-
ming up all the expense incurred by
the society in collecting, testing, sort
ing, packing and shipping the eggs it
costs less than four hundred dollars
to market almost half a million eggs.
The customers are obtained in the.
first instance through the chamber of
agriculture at Hanover. This is sort
of rural chamber of commerce which
among other things keeps an up-to-
date list of customers who are good
pay and who are honest dealers. Each
week the society ships large consign-
ments to the various cities of the Ger
man Empire seldom finding it neces-
sary to export to foreign countries.
Experience shows that under this Ger
man cooperative system of marketing
the cash returns upon each dozen of
eggs are from three to six cents great
er than they we're 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

10000 girl members and $4,000 has

CARGO USED AS BOATS FUEL
Passengers on Steamer Lindauer Tell
of Thrilling Experience In Pacific
Coast Storm.

San Francisco, Cal-With the fore
rigging carried away and portion of
the deck cargo of lumber missing, the
steamer G. c. Lindauer steamed into
port with dozen passengers on board.
Each of them told of a thrilling expert
ence which began four and half days
before at Grays Harbor.
The usual time of the passage is
only 65 hours, and the fuel tanks of
the vessel had enough oil to feed the
furnaces for this time when Captain
sandman left the northern lumber
port. The next day it began to blow
from the southeast, and for the next
two days the big waves swept over
the ship and the forerigging was car
ried away.
The fuel gave out and every man on
board was placed at work cutting into
short lengths the lumber slowed away
on deck.
Several of the passengers assisted
the weary crew, and by the time the
vessel steamed through the heads
more than 5000 feet of lumber had
been fed into the hungry mouths of
the furnaces.
Captain Sandman said 1t was one of
the worst storms of his experience.
The vessel was compelled to steam
dead ahead against wind and sea and
every wave washed over the vessel
and cargo.

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.
A WastefuI, 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 we're 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-fve mil
lion dollars worth are broken and lost
in transportation.
Is 1t any wonder that when eggs fin
ally reach the consumer they often
cost him more than twice what the
farmer received for them? Is it any
wonder that the farmer is dissatisfied
with the price he receives when it is
sometimes less than one-half what the
consumer pays. Is II any wonder the
city man kicks at the price which he
nays, kicks again when he finds that
the high priced eggs are bad eggs.
A Better, More Buslnessllke Way.
Contrast this method of handling
with the way 1t 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 FREDERICKSBURG in Den
mark, for example, ten thousand farm
ers own an egg packing establishment.
livery farmer gathers every egg from
the nest every day. In hot weather he
IL required to gather the eggs twice a

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
Americans Can Cooperate in Eggs.
Nor has the cooperative marketing
of eggs been confined to Europe. We
have in our own country some excel
lent institutions which demonstrate
that the cooperative procedure which
is good for the European hen upon the
continent of Europe is good for the
American hen upon American soil.
One Of these is at Dassel MINI.
These are the results in two years:
During the first year, the egg selling
society handled six thousand dozen
eggs, receiving an average of five
cents a dozen more for their product
than was paid for the miscellaneous
eggs on the same markets, thus max
ing over $22 per member.
The second year, the association
shipped 10000 dozen eggs with the
came success, while the Dassel Prod
uce company "a private concern)
shipped 10000 dozen more in carton
box lots. In all, 10000 dozen eggs
we're sent from this little town during
the year, for which these progressive
farmers received nearly $4,000 in
cash or $4,000 more than they could
have received under the old system,
whereas only enough eggs were for
merly taken in trade at the village gro
Gerry stores to supply the five hundred
people living in Dassel.

operative egg marketing grew out OF

EGGS FOR EVERYBODY.
BY MATTHEW S. DuDeEoN.

+ Copenhagen, Denmark. - Did you
know that the people in New York
alone eat one. hundred fifty million
dozen of eggs every year and that
they cost something like forty-five mil
lion dollars? Did you know that an
\ expert has estimated that each year
America eats something like one thou
sand million dollars worth of eggs?
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 gave trade in
exchange. The price of eggs was low
and when the price was further re-
duced by translation into sugar or cof-
fee at high price the results were of
no great significance. Egg selling
then was in fact small business. AS
a small business it was not for long
time developed along scientific lines.
The hen laid only when the weather
was good She laid fresh egg of
course, but it was likely to lie around
I in dirty nest until time and a summer
heat made 1t very bad egg to look
te& and a worse egg to eat. Not all
qeggs spoiled but 80 many went bad
nthat scattered through the lot sent in

hOf all so that even the freshest went

they were strictly fresh"
