the producer and consumer runs into
millions Of dollars annuallyin our state

have to bear most Of the burden; the
producer gets less per dozen because
every bad or stale egg thrown out by
the jobber tends to reduce the pur-
chase price for the eggs that finally
reach him.
There is no money in any egg save
a good egg, and when the farmer real
ICES that he and not the grocer and
huckster to whom he sells must stand
the loss for bad eggs. he will be as
careful Of their quality as he is Of the
quality OF his wheat or hogs.
If the suggestions below are follow
ed eggs will be marketed in better
shape and will yield better profit to
the producer.
Provide plenty of clean. dry nests
for your hens.
