REGARDING THE EGGS

There's an unlimited market and
big premium for fancy" eggs and
no likelihood of the market becom-
ing glutted, is the opinion of sue
cesful market man. In The Farm
Journal he tells how he gets fancy"
eggs and insures the quality which
the high priced trade demands.
The first important move is to
get the eggs from the nest as soon
as possible. The farmers who sun
ply the best eggs gather their eggs
three times day and especially
net later than nine o'clock in tho
morning in the summer time. They
take any eggs that may be under
the laying hens, for several hens
Will lay In the same nest and the
eggs may remain under these hens
several hours. They have been
kept most of this time at the hast
temperature for bacterial growth
and three hours Of such treatment
will cause an egg to be such that II
can not be sold as a fancy quality
egg.
Another cause for deterioration is
fertility Thousands OF dollars
worth Of fertile eggs are un1it for
1000 because the embryo has start
ed to grow, possibly only very
slightly, and then due to lowered
temperature, dies. It lis Important
to get rid Of the ROSTERS when the
Matching season is over.
The farmers we buy from are re.
quired to place their eggs In the
cellar as soon as gathered. These
cellars should be so degrees z. or
less.
A cellar that is not damp can be
well sprinkled with water, but this
dampness must be continued as Il
will evarorate rapidly, especially IL
the cellar has wood door. A dirt
noor is better The egg container
must not get wet and there unust
be no bad odors.
We pay the local price plus the
premium or Inference OF the hirher
markets, reaching premium dur.
ing the summer Of ten cents a dor
en-, and sometimes as high az twelve
cents .oeen.
II we fcd iArmers that persist
entity neglect the care OF their eggs,
we do not buy from them. az II
costs considerable to collect eggs
by truck, and such eggs. IL i want.
ed them. can be purchased without
the expense OF going after them. |
do not handle any eggs from coun-

SUGAR STOCKS REACH
NEW HIGH FOLLOWING
RISE In RAW PRODUCT
Advance Results From
Large Sale to Europe
at 5 IL Cents.
BY stuart P. WEST.

Copyright. by The san Antonio Light.
New York. March 12.-In todays
market there were a number of in
teresting moves in industrial special
ties, all upward. Sugar stocks reach
ed new high following a fresh adj
vance in raw sugar quotations and
the announcement that a large amount
Of raw sugar had just been taken by
Europe. at 8 IL cents pound.
The advance by the United States
Rubber company of 10 per cent in
tire prices had been too generally ex-
pected to have much effect.
Rubber common went up somewhat
partly on the increase and partly
following the annual report showing
earnings of over $3.50 per share.
Estimates of what American Loco
motive is earning and what it is like
ly TO earn are still running remark
ably high, all the way from $50 to
$50 per share. This explains the
new high records which the common
stock is continually making. Other
equipment stocks were not nearly as
conspicuous in the trading.
A sensational rise in the Market
Street Railway preferred stock ac-
companied by more moderate ad-
vance in the common was the sequel
to the information about the negotia-
tionS for purchase by the city of San
Francisco.
