Not long ago four men worked half
day grading current receipts" Of
eggs as they were received at city
market. They candled out one hun
dred dollars worth Of rots, spots, and
incubated eggs. This loss could so
easily have been prevented If only the
producer and the country merchant
had handled the eggs promptly.
The hen lays a fresh egg; the con-
sumer demands fresh egg. Eggs are
highly perishable product, and grad
ually deteriorate with age. Heat is
their enemy; cold is their friend. The
shorter the time and the more direct
their route from nest to packing house,
the smaller the opportunity for loss.
The proper handling Of eggs is not q
one-man job. Many people are con-
cerned In 1t. Their interests are com
mon, and mutual understanding and
cooperation between them benefit all
alike.
The farmers part In the general
scheme of good marketing is to bring

this, he should market his eggs FIRE.
quently, not let them accumulate.
The dealers job is to keep the eggs
good. His slogan should be "ship
promptly and properly" The sooner
an egg is put under refrigeration and
started for the market, the better its
quality when it reaches its final des-
tinatiOn, and the higher Its value.

cases. Their eggs should make sub
6tantial addition to the family food
supply. Each hen In her pullet year
should produce ten dozen eggs. The
average size of the back yard flock
should be at least ten hens. Thus
each flock would produce in a year 100
dozen eggs, which at the conservative
value of % cents a dozen would be
worth $25. By keeping a back yard
poultry flock the family would not only
help in reducing the cost of living, but
would have eggs Of quality and fresh
ness which are often difficult to obtain.
Poultry keeping, although COM
paratively simple undertaking. win be
successful In direct proportion to the
study and labor which are expended
upon it. There is an abundance of
good material on the subject, but
'Back Yard Poultry Keeping" (Farm-
ers' Bulletin SS9), a recent publication
Of the United States department OF
agriculture, contains all the general
directions needed to make a start. It
tells how 20 overcome the objections
to keeping poultry in the city, what
kinds of fowls to keep, the size Of the

Of the back yard, gives definite instruc-
lions as to the best kinds of chicken

for same, directions as to feeding the
fowls, hatching and raising chicks, pre-
vention of diseases and pests, and
many other matters essential to the
success of the undertaking. Another
helpful bulletin OF a general character
Is "Hints to Poultry Ralsers" (Farm-
