the yolk jnd the albumen ire clearly visible an experienced grader can tell at once from the size of the ar cell the density of the albumen and the position and color of the yolk the desirability of each egg for culinary purposes and on that basis can place them into the various grades such factors as size and cleanliness also- are- consldered in grading in canada every egg passing into trade is graded in this way producers are paid- for their eggs on graded basis consumers buy on grade all impons are grading j according tothtr canadian standards and all exports arc sold on a defini grade basis accompanied by a certificate issued by a government in spector certifying- that the eggs are up to the grade for which they are sold at home and abroad canadian eggs stand in high repute because
