REDUCING EGG LOSSES.

During the summer months the quail
ity of eggs is considerably inferior to
that Of the months of March, April and
Nav. With the advent of warm weather
IT,. is constant spoilage due to the fact
that the eggs are extremely perishable.
Fertile eggs spoil very rapidly. lncu-
baton starts at seventy degrees and pro-
crosses rapidly at temperature from
ninety to hundred degrees. Ordinarily
eggs pass through the hands of four or
five different middlemen before they
reach khe ultimate consumer From
the time the eggs leave the farm until
thew reach artificial refrigeration, there
will be deterioration in the quality. Con
seouently, summer eggs should be mar
keted frequently and kept as coll as pos
sible.
An infertile egg will not spoil as
quickly as a fertile egg. Dealers ouy
eggs by the dozen and pay for both good
and bad egges. These bad eggs mus
be eliminated before they reach inc
consumer Consequently, the price pase
the farmer is not fair to the man, who IS
producing only good eggs. 1t IS est
mated that the loss in Ohio from these
inferior eggs amounts to two cents Io'
every dozen marketed. S. Jacoby
