In the large cities strictly fresh eggs sold readily during the past winter at from 40 to 60 cents per dozen. Some farmers are so situated that they can maintain a city trade in fresh eggs. throughout the year. A premium of several cents a dozen can usually be obtained for new-1 laid eggs shipped weekly to the city merchant. MARKET 1UNcrrtE3rEx'rr-There is a growing preference on the home imarkets for brown shelled eggs. The ‘ shells of the eggs should be wiped clean if uece ssary, and the can; graded in size. For shipment to the merchant they should be packed in eases holding 12 dozen or 30 dozen each. Eggs to be palatable should be eaten in a strictly :frcsh condition; therefore, they should reach the consumer without uttnet'tNV ‘sary delay. This requires (1) that the eggs be collected regularly every day l and stored in a cool room (temperature 5 40 to 50 degrees F.), C'.) that the deal- t er forward the eggs to the merchant at least once a week, and, (3) that the [ merchant protect the eggs from deter- ioration while in his possession. tT" ---w__ ....‘....,..‘ T “q cc., PULLETS TOR “1511‘ As a general rule pullols ' May or early June will P' fitable for winter laying. expect to make a sprei priced new-laid eggs next at the present time be l good number of chides f select suitable pullcla. should be sold in the earl they are housed in the fu Origin at Name tttr Which toe Souths Populariy R "own.
