GRADING EGGS FOB MARKET


In large city markets eggs are usu-
ally graded into FIVE classes. These
grades are designated as follows: Elk
ira firsts, firsts. seconds. thirds, checks
and leakers.
Eggs that go into the extra first
class weigh at least "a ounces to the
dozen, are clean, of strong shell. and
uniform in size, shape and color. The
air cell must be no larger than a
dime.
Firsts must compare with extra
f1rsts on all points, excepting size.
Eggs In this class must weigh at least
"a ounces to the dozen
Eggs that are cIassed as seconds
weigh at least % ounces to the dozen.
The air cell may be the size Of quar-
ter dollar. Eggs in this classification
must be clean, and uniform in shape
and color.
All sound eggs that fall below the
three classifications given above are
termed thirds. This class takes all eggs
that weigh less than % ounces to the
dozen, all dirty eggs and eggs that
show large air cells and dark yolks.
The double yolked eggs and those OF
poor shape also go into this class.
Checks and leakers are cracked and
broken eggs. A check is one cracked,
but not sufficiently to allow the CON
tents to escape. A leaker is one
broken so badly that the contents es-
cape. Checks and leakers do not
stand shipment, and should always
be used or marketed at home while
strictly fresh.
In Gambling many eggs fall below
any OF these classifications given
above and are total loss. All rotten
eggs, those that show blood rings.
mold spots, and those that are badly
soiled are unfit for food and are
dumped.
In conclusion, it may be stated that
the supply of extra firsts and firsts
never equals the demand, and that
more thirds, checks and leakers are
offered than can be disposed Of.

higher during the winter.
Second, milk and cream can be han
died in cold weather with less danger
of souring, so there is little loss on
account Of milk returned from the
creamery.
Third, the amount of labor on the
farm is better distributed throughout
the year. If the cows freshen in the
spring, they are in full flow of milk
and need the best care when work in
the fields is most pressing. On the
other hand, ii the cows calve in the
fall, and are MIXED during the win
ter, the farmer can give them close
attention, has more time to study the
problem of feeding, and can give his
men employment all the year, and in
that way get better help.
Fourth. the lactation period is
heightened and the amount of milk
given during the year increased. Cows
that freshen in the spring milk heav-
lily while grass is good, but as the pas
lures dry up the flow Of milk falls OF,
and with the approach OF winter the
cows are nearly dry. If they freshen
in the fall, they should at once be
started on good winter ration, and
when they have been MIXED six
months it is time to turn them to pas
ture, and for a time the flow Of milk
will be nearly as great as that from
fresh cows. Recent Investigations by
experiment stations verify this obser-
walton.
Fifth, fall calves can be raised bet
ter than those born in the spring.
Young calves should be fed on milk
for several months; after which they
must be weaned and fed on solid
food. If they are born in the spring,
they will be tormented by flies all
summer, they may be neglected be-
cause of the farm work, and when it
is time to wean them they must be
