U, CHICAGO, NO. 10-191& (Prepared by the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture.) Because of the methods of handling and marketing eggs in common uso among the general farmers who fur­ nish the great bulk of the supply, It Is not often that the producer can get the full benefit of the high prices for strictly fresh eggs during the fall and winter months. It is customary in many sections of the country for the farmer to take to town at irregular intervals a basket' of eggs some of which may be clean and some dirty, some absolutely fresh and some dis­ tinctly below the highest grade. He is usually paid by number, not quality, and thus gets no additional profit from the eggs that are really first class. The village merchant, moreover, who takes these eggs is not usually in a position to make regular shipments to large markets. The result of all this is that before the eggs reach the ultimate consumer they have deterio­ rated to such an extent that they are not of a quality to command the high­ est prices. This waste can be, to a great extent at least, remedied by a system of mar­ keting eggs through creameries. It is not necessary for the creamery to be a co-operative one, for even a pri­ vately owned establishment will natu­ rally be desirous of adding to the prosperity of the neighborhood and tc oblige as far as possible its patrons. For this reason it should content itself with a moderate profit on the eggs. This was the case with one pri­ vately owned creamery in the north- fern part of Minnesota, which may be taken as an excellent example of the possibilities of marketing eggs in this way. A short time ago about 135 farmers were selling their eggs through this agency. They were scattered over a wide territory, one man even driving 14 qj^les. Before the creamery con­ sented to market their eggs for them each farmer was required to sign the following agreement: "For the privilege of selling eggs to the creamery company and getting a market established for guaranteed fresh eggs, I, the undersigned, hereby pledge myself to comply in every way with the following rules: "I agree to deliver eggs at the creamery that will not be to exceed eight days old and to be picked in (gathered) twice every day. "Eggs to be of uniform size (no un- dersize or oversize eggs). "Eggs to be clean and to be kept in a cool, dry cellar. "Brown eggs to be put in one car­ ton and white in another and so marked. "Each egg to be stamped on the side and carton to be stamped on the top. "I agree not to sell any eggs that I have marked with the creamery com­ pany's trademark to anyone else but the creamery company, and to return stamps and other supplies that have been furnished, in case 1 should decide to discontinue to sell eggs to the :reamery company." Several points in this agreement are worthy of notice. In the first place, eight days may not seem sufficiently often in the majority of places to de­ liver the eggs, but the nights in Min­ nesota, even in summer, are usually cool, and this, together with the gath­ ering twice a day and the storage in dry, cool cellars, was found sufficient to keep the eggs in good condition. It by no means follows, however, that this would be possible elsewhere. The brown and white eggs were sep­ arated because it was found that this added to the attractiveness of the packages, and, secondly, because • it encouraged the keeping of hens which lay white eggs. During the spring months the owner of the creamery paid one cent more for white eggs than for brown on the ground that in the future he could obtaiixjnore for them in the market, and that he Wished to stimulate the keeping of one class of chickens in order to insure a more uniform market. The stamping of the eggs is impor­ tant. The stamp contained the name of the dreamery, the creamery brand and a serial number for each producer. Thus, in case of any carelessness or failure to maintain the proper quality it was possible to trace the product back to the individual producer and lay the blame where it belonged. Each farmer was furnished with a supply of cartons each of which held one dozen eggs and were so shaped that they could be packed in a regular SO-dozen egg case, and shipped from the creamery to market by express. The labor and cost of handling the eggs at the creamery were thus re­ duced to a minimum. They were never candled because the farmer was un­ der obligations to bring in only good eggs, and failure to do so was regard­ ed ns *i»iffiHent ground for the cream­ ery's refusing to handle the eggs of the offender in the future. In the particular case described, the eggs were shipped to a large grocery store in Duluth, Minn., which was al­ ready taking butter from the cream­ ery- This store was able to sell the eggs to its customers for several cents a dozen more than the prevailing prices for other eggs. It is interesting to note, also, that the buyers became accustomed to the stamp on the eggs and when by accident two coses reached the store unstamped there was a little difficulty in disposing of them. -- The Increased profit to the farmers through this method of marketing was not as noticeable during the spring, when eggs are plentiful, as when they were scarce. During the winter the difference was sometimes as great, as ten cents a dozen, and when this par ticular creamery was visited one De­ cember the farmers were receiving 40 cents a dozen for their eggs. At this very time farmers in the nearby village were paid 25 cents a dozen. With the increased prices the produc­ tion rose rapidly also. Before the creamery took up the marketing of the eggs the supply received by tbe local storekeepers was hardly more than sufficient for the local demand. Later the creamery paid out in one year nearly $4,000 to producers of eggs, nearly all of which were shipped* away. This accounts for the fact that the local merchants, who were at first inclined to look with disfavor upon the innovation, soon saw that the in- creased returns to the community meant increased profits to them even­ tually. There is no reason why a system similar to the one just described should not be adopted in many other localities. Local conditions will, of course, require certain changes, but the fundamental principle will remain. Fresh eggs shipped regularly in good condition to city markets are certain tp earn greater' profits for the pro­ ducers than those which are allowed to deteriorate on the road from the farm to the consumer. Finally the profits from its egg business may well make the establishment of a creamery possible when it could not be run for dairy products alone. , TO SPREAD OR PILE MANURE Answer to Question Is Largely One ef Location--Much Loss Sustained by Broadcast Scattering. (By ALVIN KEYSER. Colorado Experi­ ment Station.) The question frequently arises, Should manure be spread thinly ever the land in winter when it is hauled or should it be dumped in piles to be scattered in the spring? The answer^ to the question is largely one of loca­ tion. In a great deal of Colorado ter­ ritory the winters are dry. with dry very windy springs. Where such con­ ditions normally prevail scattering manure broadcast on the land during the winter means that the manure will dry out and frequently be blown away by the first heavy spring wind storm. Dropping in piles to be hand scat tered later saves a part of this loss. Where snow is on the ground and where winds are not a menace, or where conditions permit disking the scattered manure into the top soil, this loss by blowing is prevented. From the standpoint of labor, drop­ ping in piles increases the labor. From the standpoint of saving the manure it sometimes saves an appreciable per­ centage, while broadcast scattering would lose all of it. The farmer will have to decide .these questions for himself in his own localities, based upon the points above enumerated.

Q The cause of poor hatches with an incubator is a much discussed ques­ tion, which depends on a great variety of circumstances. A poor hatch is more apt to be due to the condition of the eggs previous to hatching than to incubation, although Improper hand­ ling of either factor will produce the same results. , When eggs fail to hatch, see wheth-^' holK' 10 c,ose UP a number of sales er the breeding stock is kept under® tilis particular uiake of machine, conditions which tend to producefhey have an order in for the Overland strong, fertile germs in the eggs, if theJix and^are expecting1 the machine in eggs have been handled properly be-n any time. fore incubation, and whether the con-^ f^hou« ditions were right during incubation, f ^montr as judged by the time of the hatch.
