POULTRY
CACkLES
MAKE SURE EGGS ARE FRESH
Method Generally Employed by Com
mission Houses for Purpose 10,
Known ~ "candina."

When supplying fancy trnde with
eggs, or on receiving eggs from outside
sources, Il is often desirable to deter
mine their freshness The method
generally used by commission mer.
chants for this purpose is known as
"candllng." and consists In holding
the egg between the eye and q light
% as to note the contents. This
should be done In q darkened room,
using one Of the egg testers on the
market or simple homemade tester.
The air space iu a perfectly fresh
egg Is very small. aad as the egg loses
part Of Its contents BY evaporation
this air space increases In size with
the age Of the egg. Fresh eggs should
appear clear and bright. showing no
dark spots Those accustomed to
"candllng" soon learn to detect stale
eggs with good degree Of accuracy
and rapidity.
Another method employed by some
who have not great number to test
Is to put the eggs In q basin Of water.
II good they will lie on their sides; II
bad they will stand on the small ends.
The older the egg the more upright
It stands. and II very old It will be
suspended in the water or even float
IN the surface.

BEST BRoILERs FOR MARKET
Squads Should Weigh When Dressed
From Three-Feurths to One

The market demand Is for broilers
