Gambling Eggs
In order to carry out the general
Gambling order it will be necessary
for all who handle eggs in CONNER
cial quantities to provide an efficient
Gambling device. The only form of
GAMBLER that is satisfactory is the
one Or two hole apparatus. This
may be lighted by electricity or a
kerosene lamp. The patent devices
supposed to candle a dozen or perhaps
three dozen at time ale nuisances
and are never used in Gambling
rooms where carful work is required.
If eggs are to be candled the work
should be we'll done and with slip
shod devices good work is impos
sible.
Gambling all eggs is necessary as
a protection to the dealer. Selling
bad eggs is an offense against the
law and a severe penalty is provided.
In Gambling eggs the room in which
the work is done should be prefer
able in semi-darkness. The egg is
held in slanting position against
the opening in the Gambler. By til
ting it at various angles the location
and size of the air cell may be de-
termined. The egg is then given a
rapid twist which causes the con-
tents to revolve and reveals any |
blood spots, meat spots or other
foreign material which it may con-
tain. The position of the yolk and
the clearness of the contents is also
determined. If the egg is not COM
pletely turned before the candle !
mould spots, stuck spots, blood rings |
or checked eggs may not be detected,
as one side of an egg may appear
good while the other may be spoiled |
1t is customary to pick up two eggs
at time in each hand supporting !
one with the tips of the first two
fingers and the thumb. This egg
held in the right hand is brought to
the aperture of the GAMBLER and
candled as described above. The
foremost egg in the left hand is then
candled while the operator shifts the
first egg back into his palm and
brings the other egg which he has
been holding in his right hand for
ward into his fingers. Thus the
eggs from both hands are candled
alternately and while an egg in the
right hand is being examined the
eggs in the left are being shifted.
The ability to handle eggs in this
manner comes only after consider
able practice but after it is once
acquired very rapid and accurate
grading is possible.
In grading, strictly fresh egg is
found to have an air cell about as
large as dime and about 3-16 of an
inch in depth. The albumin is thick
and tie contents rotate slow,y Wa n
the egg is given a twist. The yolk
