Many Eggs Can Ee
SGUed BY Freezing
and Drying Processes

The frozen and dried egg industry,
declares a new publication OF the de-
partment OF agriculture. Is a perna-
nenr one because it meets distinct
economic need Mary eggs which
could NOT stand long shipments may be
preserved as wholesome food by treez-
ing them out of the shell or by drying
In the beginning, however, there was
natural popular prejudice against the
business, which was Increased by the
ignorance and careiesaness of some OF
the pioneers. II was under these con-
dftions that the department OF asrE-
culture undertook al study of the prob
lem in order to lay the groundwork
for scientific preparation of an ex-
tremefy perishabIe product Some OF
the results Of this study have just been
published IN professional paper, But
Ietin No. pa, A Study of the Prepare
ton OF Frozen and Dried Eggs In the
Producing Section.
The eggs commonly used by rspHta-
BILE firms for breaking are small or
diversified eggs and dirty, cracker, or
shrunken eggs. To the trade these are
known as seconds" They are not TO
he confused with eggs that are UNFIT
for human use such as the classes
known as black, white. mixed and sour
rots. green whites. eggs with stuck
yolks musty and Eloldy eggs, blood
rings etc. These should be rejected en-
tfrefy or else used for tanning purposes
only. Eggs with bad oGor should be
rejected absolutely
Careful Gambling before ths eggs go
to the breaking room is one OF the
principal points upon the Importance
Of which the new bulletin insists. Care
ful Gambling Is not only nsceasary TO
prevent the use of ursnt eggs Sdt II WILL
also prevent the waste OF number OF
perfectly good eggs which III gnr other
wise be rejected. In order I'd insure
that the eggs are well candled- the bull
lerin recommends some system ny
which the work of individual Gamblers
may be checked. Eggs that tt Is e@unSs
difficult TO grade. should De set assde
by the regular Gamblers for exaEntna--
sson by an expert Furthermore. the
eggs should 5e graded again when out
of the shell, for certain kinds OF In
lection can euiy be detected when Gn@
exxs have been broken. When grading
eggs out Of the shell only TWO grades
Should be recognixed-food eggs and
tanners eggs
