CREAMERY TO HANDLE EGGS
University Lecturer Tells Buttermak-
eTs That They Have Superior
Facilities for Keeping Eggs.

Madison.--Because poor eggs have
q tendency to reduce consumption,
the question of getting eggs on the
market is an important one, An
agency well fitted to handle the far
mers' eggs and bring them to the
consumers table in good condition
is the community creamery, accord
ing to James G.. Halpin Of the uni
versity poultry department, who
spoke at one of the sessions of the
farmers conference here.
THE creamery man is constantly
handling a perishable product and
consequently has the facilities for
keeping eggs away from foul air and
bad odors," said llr. Halpin. THE
average groceryman, on the other
hand, uses practically the same meth
DDS in handling eggs that he does
potatoes, with the result that he
helps large quantities of eggs TO
spoil every year. If the housewife
could be certain of securing a uni
form grade of good eggs she would
use them literally, many times, re-
