If you are going to put away some
summer-laid eggs for winter use-as,
Of course, you are, it being both pa
triotic and a personal duty-you will
need to exercise considerable care that
only good eggs are put in the water
glass or nmewater container. One
bad egg is likely to destroy several
others. By consistently gathering the
eggs when they are fresh, most of the
danger of storing bad eggs is avoided,
but since it is necessary to hold the
eggs until q sufficient number is &C.
cumulated to fill the container, and
since some eggs are imperfect when
they are laid, Gambling, where it can
be done without too much trouble and
delay might well be practiced. The
United States department of agricul-
ture has just issued a bulletin on 'How
to Candle Eggs" The text is brief
and direct and is illustrated with col
ored plates showing the way in which
an egg should appear before the candle,
together with the various ways it
should not appear. The bulletin was
written by DR.. M. f. Pennington, chief
of the food research laboratory, as
sisted by NJ. K. jenkins, bacteriOlOgist.
and H. NJ. P. Belts, artist. 1t should
be of great use, not only to persons
putting away eggs for home use, but.
as well, for all those who desire to
establish or maintain reputation fo1
delivering eggs in perfect condition.

Only I Eoa in 100 Damaged.

An eggshell is not quite the most
fragile thing in the world-workers in
laboratories know of a few things
more fragile-but 1t is the most fragile
thing with which the average indi-
vidual has to deal. To transport
hundred eggs a distance Of 1900 miles
in freight car and to have the shells
of 80 Of them perfectly intact at the
end Of the journey is something of an
achievement. Yet the United States
department Of agriculture has done
a little better than that. In a series
Of tests covering period Of two
years, in which the average haul was
1900 miles, the total damage. includ-
ing 'checks," dents ana "leakers,"
was less than / per cent.
If shippers of eggs in carload or
less than carload lots will study and
apply the methods of the department
Of agriculture in packing and hauling
eggs. long step will be taken toward
conserving the food supply.

Miscalculation on the part Of an
English baronet landed him in trouble

AS appears from the London press
the Rev. Sir Douglas Edward Scott,
Bart. who, in his f1fty-fourth year,
chose to take to wife q restaurant

The mistake the baronet made was In

delivered the clothing to her address.
From the newspaper accounts the

 hoard. general inactivity was reported in
 both trades during the past week.
 Labor problems and price control after the close of sthe current year will come up for consideration and leading inter- ests predict an end of government price control on January l. No drastic fluc- tuations are akicipated as result of an open market. Feeling prevails that even If the industry at large is able to make It's own prices. the present high cost of labor will preclude any startling recess sions during the, transition period at least and estimates of time required to return to normal peace basis vary, some authorities naming the start of the second quarter of 1919 as the earliest pos- sible date for a full change.
 The pig iron output in November reached 3,3540H gross tons, an average of ul.S02 tons day, against 3,486,94l gross tons, or 112,4 4S2 tons day in October. Coke shortage and the resultant banking of some blast furnaces were accountable for the decline A decrease of six fur naces in blast was noted during Novem- ber. .

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans, December S.--The highest prices made last week in the cotton mar ket were reached on Friday while the lowest were made on Monday. From the lowest to the highest there was a rise
 of 22S o 36l points. On the closing ses- sion realizing caused reaction which was natural after a week of advances and final prices showed net gains of 6s to 157 points.
 The tendency to do better was due mainly to a much better feeling in the spot department, to increased exports and to the announcement of the doing away with war restriction which caused the belief that the first of the year would see something like normal conditions ap- bearing in the market The removal or restriction on cotton bills of lading al- lowed through bills to be issued from in- terior points and more activity resulted among shippers. The total foreign ship ments from all ports during the week amounted to 153,065 bales against 64, 792 during the same week last year Spot advices were to the effect that holders were firmer than ever. while buyers showed greater willingness to pay high CT prices. particularly for the better grades.
 This week the course of the market will depend largely upon the construction placed upon the bureau reports. The census bureau statistics on gtnnings 10 the first of December will come on the opening of the first session and this report is generally expected to be boilish.- Expectations are for total of from B. 50O.0O0 to s.60o.0o0 bales as against g uS,- 592 year ago. On Wednesday thS de- partment of agriculture will issue its annual estimate of the crop and for this report expectations range all the way from around Il 1.3O0.00o up to 100000 bales.
