that II you are really Interested nl
getting more for your eggs the first
thing to do is 20 produce better
egg. Don't produce common eggs
but make plans 20 produce eggs that
speak quality in every sense OF the
word.
Quality Esgs
II you have a dozen eggs, large,
clean, infertile, uniform in size ana
color, as well as good shape and per-
fectly fresh, you have an egg that
will bring a good price any time OF
the year and that is in a class by
itself The cost Of producing such
an egg will be no more than the
cost OF producing the nondescript
egYs. You take a basket full OF
these eggs 10 town and deliver them
10 your store or egg buyer, and
set them among the rest Of the
eggs and you will see at once that
they are in a class by themselves
and easily bring more money
Our farmers have not yet learned
that appearances more than anything
else sells q product They do not
realize that the American consumi-
ing people, almost entirely buy on
looks II is true that we do not eat
the she'll, yet dirty egg will GER
tainly not sell az well as clean
egg.
Quality in eggs. ~ rare thing
indeed The eggs possessing quality,
need not 60 begging for a market
AZ no time Of the year.
Sire
Small eggs are not worth as much
as large eggs. Many people have
a disposition 10 sell that small egg.
We have known Of cases where they
were culled out and returned 20 the
kind farm lady What did she doY
with a frown she replied, AN egg
is an egg and am going 20 mig !
In the next lot Of eggs 20 be sold.
Right here YOU have an actual H.
lustration Of one ~ the greatest
causes for low prices ~ market eggs.
The one small egg was responsible
for lowering the price Of the other
eleven. The disposition 20 sell any
thing that looks ike an egg -
another cause for low prices OF
eggs 4 dozen Of eggs should be
uniform in size and as near two
.
ounce egg as possible.
Condition Of She'll
The egg she'll must be clrar and
( should be unwashed. The shek should
be fairly thick and strong, sod even
IN texture and color Uniformity OF
/ color Of shell, is one Of the prime
Y requirements 4 dozen or case, or
half case. TO demand the highest
I price. must be uniform IN color.
+ Shell should be free from ridges and
+ OF course must not be cracked. We
have found one Of the greatest ways
I ~ adding Individuality 20 eggs is
/ hv Stamping them We like the trade
n mark-anv You may select-iike
Select" premier Quality, and
"Inferfile" We are inclined "a be-
liove that the word "lnfcrtile' should
/ be- stamped on all quality eggs OF
/ course they must actually be ln.
fertile This should be stamped on
the large end OF the egg. Rubber
stamps ana pads for this purpose
\ may be- ordered from Darling q
II CO., Of Topeka, Kansas, and should
not cost more than rs cents 20 one
dollar.
The eggs should be put up in
neat and attractive two color car
I tons. Remember, many times the
package sells the contents. These
one dozen cartons may be purchased
al very reasonable prices. They
should bear the name Of the farm
or your trade mark. All Of these
little things take your eggs out Of
the common class and place them
in a class by themselves. Egg car
tons may be purchased from the
Self Locking Cartoon CO., 4S6-4Ss
Illinois St., Chicago, III. They sell
for a very reasonable price ana YOU
can have them printed to your ord
er. Make the comparison Of lot
OF eggs arriving in a dirty box
mixed with a lot Of musty cotton
seen hulls and another lot arriving
in neat and attractive cartoons,
Some may doubt the wisdom Of go
