Pack in Spring so as to Prevent
All Shell Damage.
Specialists of United States Depart
ment of Agriculture Recommend
Use of New Standard Cases
With Strong FILTERS

from the United States Department OF
Agricultural
About so per cent of the egg crop or
the whole year is produced during the
months of March, April, May and June.
1t is during March, April and May also
that the eggs are of the best quality
and most desirable for cold storage.
Nearly Sc per cent of all the eggs SO
stored go into storage during March,
April and May.
1t is especially necessary, therefore,
the departments egg-handling special
lists say, to see that the early spring
pack is well put up in new standard
cases with new strong filters and flats
and that cracked eggs, even the very
'Iightest checks" be rigidly excluded.
Cracked eggs, the practical studies
of these investigators have estab-
lished, are the cause Of great trouble
and loss to the egg industry from pro-
Queer to consumer. Every time an
egg is handled on the farm or else
where it is likely to get she'll dam
age. Occasionally the hen cracks an
egg, but that is seldom. The farmer
cracks some on the farm, and by the

petted and adored by her good man
become resigned to her situation But
the lack of someone to love her and
someone whom she can love fills her
soul with yearning want which will
not be stifed. A pleasant evening
among her eongenial friends will sat
isfy the bachelor girls heart. The
widow comes home from such sn en-
tertainment to cry over her present
existence. The bachelor girl gets her
solitary meal and eats it with relish,
giving the matter no particular
thought The widow, through sheer
sentiment. sets her table for two. Her
lips culver and her eyes fill with tears
as she looks upon the vacant chair OPP
posite
She concludes she must see it occu-
pied once more if she is to dispel her
loneliness. Such a thought never oc-
ours to the bachelor girl. Sentiment
with her is lost in the labyrinth OF
duty, as she elbows her way through
the hard business world to vie with
others, to earn her daily bread. She
lays by what she can, which is not
much-having the advantage over the
widow in this respect-she is not
sought out by the money sharks, who
make love to her in one breath and
coax loans from her to make invest
ments in the stock market moment
later
The business girl is just smart
enough to look into sharpers' schemes
and judge for herself what is best to
do. The widow, used to depending on
what man has told her, believes i'm
plicitly the lips that purr love story
in her ear, calling her grille declar
ing even though she sent him from
her he must see her again.
The average widow is unsuspicious
regarding matrimony. The bachelor
maid is armed with doubts. The wild
ows standard excuse is that she was
too lonely in single blessedness. The
bachelor girl cannot feel the want of
what she has never had-a husband
and his love.

PROPER HOUSING FOR TOOLS
From Weather When Not in Use
to Save Depreciation.

The only way to overcome deprecia-
ton is to provide proper housing for
all tools and implements. This will
protect them from the weather when
they are not in use. While the ques-
ton of housing is important, it is
equally important that the defective
and broken parts be repaired.
A workshop is required to make
these repairs. 1t need not be large,
but sufficiently roomy to allow for a
work bench. stoye, and a certain
amount of floor space where the ma
chinery or tools may be repaired, or
taken apart and reassembled.

even dents, If well packed, loaded.
and transported, are only .one-third
more liable to damage than are the
sound eggs similarly handled. If the
cases are well packed and shipped in
well-loaded car lots, the additional
liability to damage is only about one
fifth of an egg per case. From the
viewpoint of transportation alone the
per cent of lightly cracked eggs
appears to be comparatively unimpor-
tant
Cracked Eggs Cause Serious Loss II
Stored.
From the viewpoint of cold storage,
however, even lightly cracked eggs
are of great importance. The inves-
tigators find that about so per cent Of
the cracked eggs are rotten by Novem-
Der, generally because of growth of
mold. Sometimes the moldy crack
resting against the filler infects it
and the egg in the next cell becomes
moldy. Each leaking egg causes about
two eggs besides itself to rot. On the
other hand, good early spring eggs
with sound, clean shells show less
than 1 per cent loss from decay by
November. In other words, six eggs
in every dozen cracked eggs will rot,
while only one sound egg in II dozen
will rot, all other conditions being
equal. The cracked eggs are heavy
economic loss.
Loss $e4 Per Carload.
Eggs at the eastern seaboard dur
ing the early spring are commonly
worth about 20 cents a dozen. Car
rying charges, including insurance,
are usually about cents a dozen.
Therefore, the nine cracked eggs
which are spoiled by November show
total loss, not only of their value
when they were stored, which was
about Is cents, but also the carrying
charges, or a total of 1872 cents.
About ten cracked eggs out of the
10, on the average, will not spoil, but
are much lower in grade when coming
out of storage than the sound eggs.
They will be sold for about 33 per cent
less than the sound, good eggs, max
ing, on a 25-cent basis, another loss
of Z cents, or a total loss due to
cracked eggs alone of 231a cents
case. or about 1914 on a carload of 400
cases.
This loss of 2315 cents a case, which
is believed to be a conservative esti-
mate, quickly mounts up to imposing
figures when the vast number of cases
of eggs that are stored is taken into
consideration. In As cold-storage
houses alone, according to the report
of the American Warehousemen's as
ISOLATION, about 3,75OO cases of eggs
were in storage on July 1, 1915. If
these cases suffered the average dam
age, in these warehouses alone there
would be loss to the country of
SS81,000 that might have been saved
to the egg industry from producer to
the consumer if shippers had been
more careful if packing their early
spring eggs.

time he has hauled them to the cOun-
try store or to the shipper investiga-
tors find that approximately per
cent are cracked and One-tenth of one
per cent mashed or leaking.
If the country storekeeper rehandles
the eggs and hauls them to the egg
shipper, the number of cracked eggs
is increased to about per cent. In
addition, three-tenths of / per cent are
mashed eggs or leakers that must be
thrown out If, however. the country
stOrekeeper sends the cases of eggs to
a nearby shipper by local freight, the
total of cracked eggs has risen at the
end of the journey to approximately
per cent, and l per cent more are
mashed or leaking The damage when
eggs reach the big cities after a haul
of 1000 miles or more will depend
upon the quality of the egg packing,
the way the lot is placed in the car,
and the way the railroad hauls the
car, especially when switching. When
the eggs are shipped in car lots and
both shippers and carriers do their
work well, transit damage is kept
down to as little as l per cent, includ-
ing cracked. mashed. and leaking
eggs.
Approximately one egg in two cases
gets mashed or becomes a leaker on
the railroad trip. But when eggs are

Twas all. Twas the breath of his life
Of the soul whose music and rhythm and
ring
Were sweeter than songs that the angels
sing.
He loved That was all-but it filled up
his life
So that all of his thought was of mar
riage and wife.
Before the heart of a man has
been touched by the tender passion,
he is cynic in regard to love. He
does not think it worth while to give
it a thought He slaps his bachelor
chums on the back and tells them how
lucky they are in being free lances.
He actually pities the man who is
tied down to one woman's apron
strings, as he phrases it.
No matter how fascinating the wom-
en- with whom he is brought in con
tact may be, he prides himself upon
the fact that when they are out of
his sight they are out of his mind
He is amused at the girls who set
their caps for him under their mann
mas directions. He knows-what
they don't know-that it is time lost.
But he is a man with a mans in
stincts and his heritage for loving.
His heart may be a plant of slow
growth, but he cannot live his life
out without it's breaking into blossom
soon or late.
All men are not attracted by the
same type of woman, 1t takes a GER
tain particular heart to mate with
some other heart. Outward beauty Of
face or form or brilliant intellect has
nothing to do with it. 1t is the I'M
mistakable power of mutual attrac-
ton, that wonderful magnet so indie
scribable, yet the golden key, to I'M
lock love, the chord in each heart
which vibrates to the touch of but
one only. Two may meet strangers,
and without a spoken word or clasp
of the hand each may realize the influ-
ence which means the awakening of
the heart. A woman ponders over
this sweet and new sensation roman
tically, yet earnestly. With a man it
is different He finds himself COM
pletely submerged in the labyrinth of
an unseen power. Love strikes into a
mans breast deeper than is the case
with woman.
He realizes that it is mans destiny.
He is filed with the fever of unrest
until he is presented to the woman
whose personality has such an infiu-
ence. Her presence, the sound of her
voice, and the touch of her hand add
to his enthrallment. She is ever in
his thoughts. He cannot get away
from them if he would
He loved! 1t opened out a new
world to him. The one fear that OPP
pressed him was that he was not
good enough for her.
He laughs at scars who never felt a
sword cut Nothing is as it was be-
fore to him. He realizes Gods plan
to mate-that it is not we'll for man
to live alone; that he needs the gentle
companionship of a noble, virtuous
woman to guide him Alright through
this forward world of temptation and
folly. He realizes marriage makes or
mars a man. Marriage means every.
thing to him.
