Stamping Eggs.

While some dealers may have found
It beneficial to stamp eggs. for the
purpose OF showing the prospective
customer the date on which they were
laid. II is doubtful that the practice
meets with the general approval OF
the buyers.
First, the datemaker may or may
not stamp the exact date on which the
eggs were laid. The stamp may be
put on number OF days after the lay
ing. when the eggs are received by the
dealer, or II may be put on even
number OF days after the dealer re-
celves the eggs. which means that the
matter OF dating the eggs can be ar
ranged to suit the pleasure OF the
dealer.
Secondly. the average buyer who
wishes choice eggs-and most buyers
do object TO having the eggs defaced
by n stamp. Eggs thus marked do
not make the appeal to customers that
they are expected to make.
The fact that eggs for sale to pri-
vate buyers must appear as being
fresh and choice. stands clear. and the
best way In which to attain this appeal
is for the producer and the dealer to
cooperate In placing before the GUS
toners eggs which fiji these require
ments. In other words. the eggs
should not be offered unless they are
such as are likely to fiji the bill.
In order that such eggs may be OF.
fered. the producer has his duty laid
out for his performance, as well an
the dealer. A great deal depends upon
the manner In which eggs are sorted.
so far as their making appeal is con-
cerned. This is simple matter, how
ever which the producer may attend
to as the eggs come from the nests.

together. II is the producers duty,
also, 10 keep the roosters away from

fact that fertile eggs will become unfit

The reasons for the decay OF Sa-

purposes is small compared with those
which are being installed for com.

The use of the dictograph to secure

is little disk 80 small that only q
careful search will reveal It when put
in place behind a picture or some
where else on the wall. This trans
mitter is so sensitive that 1t will carry
every sound uttered in a room for long
distances. Carefully concealed wires
connect 1t with the receiving end OF
the apparatus, which is often dis
guised as a paper weight or hidden
away in desk.
The work Of paying tellers in many
large banks is greatly simplified by
the use of the dictograph. When a de
positor calls to withdraw a large
amount the teller may not be sure
that the account shows a sufficient
balance to cover the withdrawal, but
he does not like to offend by stating
his doubts.
So the teller presses button to sig
nal bookkeeper to put his ear to the
other end Of the dictograph system
whose transmitter is concealed In the
teller's counter. Then the teller picks
up the check and remarks casually
but distinctly enough for the dicto
