the packing and wrapping used. II
the container be very light one and
the eggs small, the parcel may fall
| within the two-pOund limit, and the
| postage therefore, within the first and
second zones, or the 150-mile limit,
would be 6 cents Most parcels con-
tanning a dozen eggs will exceed two
pounds, but will not reach three:
therefore the postage on them Will be
Z cents within the first and second
zones A parcel containing two dozen
eggs will add perhaps 2 cents to the
postage, though sometimes only cent,
depending on the nature of the con-
tainer and the packing and wrapping.
1t should be observed that the larger
the parcel (within the size and weight
limits) the cheaper IS the postage. as
the first pound of every package costs
5 cents within the first and second
zones, while each additional pound. up
to so, costs but ] cent; so that while
a 1-pound parcel would cost cents
postage. q two-pound parcel would cost
only cents, or 3 cents a pound. A
20-pound parcel would cost q cents, or
! 10 cents per pound, and a 50-pound
parcel would cost 81 cents, or but
l 2-2J cents a pound.
Wrapping and Addressing Parcels.
The appearance of the parcel de-
ponds largely upon the manner in
which it is wrapped. Odds and ends
of paper and Irvine are not desirable
for this purpose. Every producer who
aims to make a business of shipping
eggs by parcel post should procure a
supply of good, tough paper Of the
proper size to wrap his parcels, and
also good, strong, though not too
heavy. cord or Irvine that stretches
very little.
To insure prompt delivery the adj
dress should be written plainly on the
of the parcel. Much mail
matter is delayed or altogether fails
to reach its destination because of an
incomplete or poorly-written address.

BEST OPERATION OF
THRASHING MACHINE
Time and Grain Can Be Saved by
Proper Adjustment.
Careless Operator Who Doesn't Know
Different Parts Is Compelled to
Make Frequent Stops for
Needed Repairs.

Even with the most efficient opera
ton of thrashing machines under the
best field conditions it is probably not
| possible to save all the wheat. say
| specialists of the United States depart
| ment Of agriculture. The careless op-
orator, however, who does not know
what the different parts of the ma
chine are for, or who does not watch
them closely while the separator Is
running, may waste a great amount of
grain unnecessarily. He will surely
have to make frequent stops for re-
pairs and adjustments. Every time Il
machine stops the whole crew, usually
several men and teams, must be idle
until it starts again, loss of time to
everybody concerned.
The waste of grain through ineffl-
Gent operation Of the thrashing ma
chimes, though possibly not a serious
matter to the individual farmer, is a
matter Of perhaps millions of bushels
to the nation Us a whole When we
consider that there are 6000.O0O farms
in the United States, it is evident that
waste of only bushel set would
be an enormous loss in the aggregate.
Any standard thrashng machine
will do its work with little waste of
grain or loss Of time if kept in good
condition, adjusted properly for the
particular job on which 1t is engaged
furnished with the proper amount of
power applied correctly, and watched
intelligently while in operation. Never
theess, 1t is true that a great deal
of time is lost and large amount of
grain wasted unnecessarily in thrash
ing. All thrashing machine manufac-
facturers have endeavOred to make |
their machines as efficient as possible.
with the idea of having the construc-
ton such that they will give a mini |
mum Of trouble and do satisfactory
work. However, there are so MANY
parts to thrashing machine that II
requires careful attention at all times
and it must work under such a wide
'ange of conditions that numerous adj
ustments must be left for the opera
Or to make in the field.

| Parcel posting eggs has long since
passed the experimental stage. Its
practicability is demonstrated by the
fact that more parcels of eggs pass
through the mails than of any other
| product.
While the great bulk Of eggs which
come from distant producing territory
VIII continue to be shipped by other
methods, 1t is no doubt true that many
cities can be supplied with a consid-
cradle portion of their fresh eggs from
within the first and second zones by
| parcel post to the advantage of both
producer and consumer. BY such di-
| rect contact the producer should Sc
cure better prices for his eggs than
are realized by present methods of
marketing and the consumer should
obtain a fresher quality at no in
creased cost, or, frequently, even at
reduction in price.
Packing Eggs for Shipment.
Eggs for direct marketing. if the
trade requires it or if il can he done
without any disadvantage. should be
assorted as to size and color Eggs
irregular in shape, those which are
unusually long or thin shelled, or
which have shells otherwise defective.
should be kept by the producer for
home use, so that broakage in transit
may be reduced as much as possible.
Regardless Of the particular style
or design Of the container used. each
egg should be wrapped according to
parcel post requirements so that it
will not shake about. Soft wrapping
paper or newspaper should be used
around each egg, marketing experts Of
the United States department of agri-
culture suggest. Should the eggs shake |
about in the container, the danger of |
breakage in handling is increased.
Average Weight of Eggs.
Average hens eggs will weigh about |
one and half pounds to the dozen, or
two ounces apiece. The weight of a
single dozen of eggs in carton prop
erly packed and wrapped for mailing
will run from two to three pounds, de-

Glenn Frank Here Next Week

You will hear a real lecture next
week Thursday evening, February 20,
when you sit in the audience before
Glenn Frank for he strikes a definite
issue in every production as a writer
or speaker. This is the last number
in the Improvement Club Lyceum
Course.
Mr.. Franks rise seems meteoric, but
it isn't. 1t has been entirely logical
and the result of careful preparation.
While at Northwestern University he
carried many interests aside from his
class room work. He was editor of
the University Magazine, he represen-
ted the University in the Northern
Oratorical League and won, over the
seven big Universities competing, and
Immediately upon graduation he was
elected to position on the adminstra-
ton staff of Pres. Harrison. During
his college career, he lectured before
the Chautauquas during the summer
and for brief Lyceum tours in the
winter
In announcing his connection with
the Century Magazine, the Editor-in-
Chief says: "Glenn Frank brings to
his work the result of long study upon
the larger aspects of our public pro
blems
Mr.. Frank will discuss some of the
important problems that he is so ably
setting forth in the pages of the Cen
fury Magazine. He is a speaker
of force and power as well as of rare
charm.
