EGG GRADING STATIONS To clarify the regulations soon to come into effect in connection with registered egg grading sta tions, a circular letter (containing pertinent questions and answers has been issued, ,prepared by A. F. Curran. The chief change which the new regulations will bring about is the establishment of registered egg grading stations, the circular states. In future, with the exception~of pro ducers grading their own eggs for* wholesale or 'retail sale, only regis tered egg grading stations will be permitted to .grade eggs. This change is necessary because in the past eggs were often graded by inexperienced parties and in places without proper grading equip ment. This resulted in producers getting wrong grading returns and in improperly graded eggs getting on the market. There are foui’ requirements for registration: All persons employ ed as (graders must pass a depart mental test; the grading equipment must be satisfactory; the egg rooms must be arranged as to permit pro per handling and toaust be separated from any othei* business which might be harmful to eggs; the egg rooms must be kept cool dui'ing the warm weather. The expense of equipping pre mises foi’ registration will depend chiefly on what is necessary to ensUi'e proper temperature control. Some will be able to provide this by using suitable basement pre mises, wiliile in other (Cases mech anical ^refrigeration or ice will be necessary. The circular states that this will “definitely not” place control of the egg business in the hands of large dealers, saying that the great ma jority of registered egg stations at country points will 'be operated «by small private or cooperative inter ests. Explaining the position of coun try merchants under the new regu lations, it .States that they may es tablish registered egg (grading sta tions. IPrOvision is made, also, for country merchants to receive eggs as “first receivers”, passing the producef’s ‘ eggs on to registered stations for grading. ,, The regulations provide that a px^oducef may gfade his own eggs for sale to retailers or consumers When he sells to retailei’S he must put' his name and address on the container. This is done to protect the bOna fide producer from ped dlers, posing as pi’oducers, who sell eggs to retailers. auto-Husband—You must think mobiles grow on trees! Wife—Silly!

Jimmie, a pet of some of our re sidents and a novelty to those who were seeing a white black squirrex for the first time, is dead. The winter was too severe for him and he was found dead, hurried in the snow at the foot of a tree. A friend who had made a .pet of Jimmie and taught him to eat from his hand, took the corpse and burled it. Jimmie used to frisk about the town, visiting on verandahs and at back doors, and was a familiar . figure and a curiosity. We recall last summer when his white bushy tail had disappeared and with nothing but the stump he looked more like a white rat than a squir* rel. He was an inquisitive little beggar and when the tree trimmers were around last fall trimming the trees on Andrew street Jimmie ..was an interested spectator, keeping 3 short distance away from the inert but apparently interested In their? work.
