Apples, potatoes, string peans and
other products handled by the green
grocer or fruit stand are now usually
sold by weight instead of by count
or measure, but for some reason the
habit of handling eggs by the dozen
sill persists. AS every housekeeper
knows. there is the greatest difference
in the size of eggs, even in The same
box: and the most up-to-date cook
hooks will call for "a cupful o. egg
whites" or, even better, so many
ounces of egg white, rather than u
specific number of eggs.

II women would generally weigh
their eggs and persuade dealers that
dozen very small eggs are not worth
as much as dozen fine big ones, the
custom of selling eggs by weight
would soon become established. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture favors this system of selling eggs
as being fair to both buyer and seller.
1t would encourage the proper sort
ing and grading Of eggs on the part
of the producer, and the consumer
who found her family satisfied with
the little eggs could get them cheaper
and leave the big ones for somebody
else,
