In a shipment of three cases, or 90
dozen eggs, recently received by a

cal health department as unfit for
food. The percentage of bad eggs
shipped into the markets is very high,

sumption. say specialists of the bureau
of markets of the United States De

If few eggs in the dozen are bad

prefers TO handle good eggs, for spoiled
ones injure his business reputation. A
deduction for spoiled eggs also makes
the shipper feel that he is not being

sion merchant.
Bad eggs then are a loss 10 every
one who handles them. Every egg
marketed should be of unquestiOnable
quality.

If without rollers, they can be moved

kept in a building that is as free from
