Of the yolk, the white and the air
space at the blunt end. BY comparing
the egg with charts furnished by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture in Department Bulletin 81, 1t Is
possible to learn the exact condition
of an egg before 1t is broken.
Gambling BY Housewife.
Testing eggs by Gambling, as 1t Is
called, may not only be used by the
housewife in obtaining fresh eggs for
her table but has also proved to be
commercially practicable in preventing
loss by separating for local consump-
ton, eggs, that, because of cracks,
wetness, incipient spoilage, and other
defects, are likely to spoil in ship
ment. Such eggs are suitable for i'm
mediate use but will not stand ship
ping.
Gambling Saves Charges.
Gambling as near as possible to
source of production will not only save
transportation and storage charges for
the farmers who wish to buy and sell
on an accurate quality basis but will
prevent the loss Of valuable food
product. This method Of conservation
was tried out during the World war
and the results have been so crafty
ing that many states have made it
permanent feature of their food-con-
troll work.
Department bulletin 81, which con-
tains these charts, may be obtained
from the Superintendent Of Docu-
ments, Government Printing Office,
Washington, d. c., for 40 cents.
