Use Care in Packing.

Since markets discriminate as to the
uniformity of shipments, both as to
color of shell and general appearance
of the egg, the eggs should be careful
ly graded at home. After grading and
packing the cases should be Ia
beled according to the contents.
When brown and white shelled eggs
or large and small eggs are shipped
in the same case, the tag should be
labeled so many dozen white and so
many dozen brown, or so many dozen
small and SO many dozen large. When
getting these the receiver will check
up and make payment accordingly,
whereas, if the same eggs were not
graded but were packed promiscuous-
ly throughout the case very low SELL
ing price would be received for the en-
tire lot.
The egg cases when filed should be
covered with two or three layers OF
newspapers and then securely nailed
at the end so as to leave the middle
free to act as a cushion to give spring
to the contents. Dirty eggs should
never be shipped until they are care
fully cleaned with dry rag or brush.
Water should never be used, as 1t
tends to open the pores of the egg and
cause more rapid deterioration.
The duty of the egg farmer then lis
to produce clean. sanitary product,
free from undesirable features, and
then to carefully grade and pack his
eggs in a way that will insure their
safe arrival to the consumer, in neat
and attractive manner.

from unnecessary filth. 1t should be
well lighted and ventilated. The drop
pings should be removed frequently
and the nests kept filed with plenty
of clean nesting material.
Clean litter on the floor of the house
and clean nesting material are common
requisites. During the winter and
early spring when the ground outside
is wet and muddy it is the best prac-
tice to keep the birds closely confined
to the house. This is especially true
If commercial egg production is the OBJ
ject, for by so doing they are prevent
ed from getting their feet dirty which
soils the litter, and nesting material
and hence the eggs. Straw makes the
best nesting material, being always
sweet and clean.
Look Out for "Blood Spot" Eggs.
Eggs containing dark spots are
worthless for the trade. This may be
due to a partially incubated embryo.
in which case such eggs are termed
spots" or it may be due to an ac-
cumulation of clotted blood caused by
an injury to the ovi-duct while the
egg was being formed. The first type
of blood spot can be eliminated by
producing infertile eggs. Such infertile
eggs are always in greater demand.
They bring slightly higher prices. They
can be shipped long distances under
undesirable conditions without danger
of loss in quality. Eggs should never
be taken from the incubator, although
they appear to be infertile, nor should
they be taken from stolen nests and
sold as fresh eggs.
The second type of blood spot, often
called a blood clot," may be present
even when the greatest care is exer-
cised, and it may be present in infertile
eggs. hence the only sure method to
guarantee eggs against the presence
of blood clots is to candle all eggs be-
fore they are shipped to the consumer.
This work is done now by all large
eggs at wholesale. These blood clots do
not harm the contents of the egg and the
consumer must be educated how to dis
tinguish these clots from so-called spot
or developing embryo.
a large number of small eggs are
usually produced in the fall when the
pullets are just coming into maturity
One dozen good eggs should weigh ap-
proximately twenty -four ounces. Eggs
which fall below this weight are usual
ly sold at correspondingly low prices.
Eggs which are shipped to the market
should be as near uniform in size as
possible, as many large eggs placed
with normal ones spoil the appearance
of the shipment. When pullet eggs
are produced in large numbers they
should be shipped separately and label
ed distinctly, "pullet eggs"
