QUALITY COUNTS WITH EGGS
Through Marketing Poor Article
During Summer Months.

Quality counts. not sometimes, but
always" and is as true with market
eggs as with any other commodity.
The farmers annual loss through the
marketing OF poor eggs during the
summer months mounts into the mil
lions in the aggregate and is wholly
unnecessary. Because OF the presence
OF so many spoiled eggs coming from
the farms the buyer is compelled TO
pay lower prices as the poor eggs
are sorted out by him and must be
disposed OF at figures far below the
market price Of good eggs.
Why should not the farm producer
FIRST endeayOr 10 produce good eggs
and then sort them himself and know
positively that he is selling only FIRST
quality eggs The Gambling OF eggs
is the final test and can be easily done
by anyone. Arrange a common paste
board shoe box to stand on end over
a small lighted lamp. Make a hole
slightly smaller than an egg in one
side OF the box directly opposite
the lamp fame and give ventilation
to the lamp by removing the end OF
the box over the lamp and you are
ready to candle eggs accurately.
To produce good first quality eggs
the essentials are healthy hens: good.
wholesome food: clean nests: daily
gathering OF eggs and the removal
OF all males from the laying flock.
After this the eggs must be kept
in a cool. moist temperature. Given
these conditions OF production and
handling. with careful Gambling be

may be certain that be is Offering
only a first quality product that may
command the best prices.
