THE EGG -FROM THE HEN TO
THE TABLE.
BY D. D. WILSON, SIAYORTH.
The quesVon is often asked by the con
sumer of eggs, "Why it is that during cer-
tain seasons of the year so many poor eggs
-tire- sold, musty, evaporated, off flavour and
in every way unfit for the table?" It is my
purpose to show to the producer, the dealer
or commission merchant and the consumer
the way by which much of this perplexity
ma be avoided; how the farmer can realize
more for the product of hie hens; the deal-
ers have lees trouble and maintain a better
reputetion for honesty, as well as give the
retailer an aesutance that he can supply a
family with eggs that are fresh and just such
as the farmer would use for his own table.
Will the housewife of a farmer for one
moment ask herself the question: What
kind of eggs she would like to buy from a
retailer in the city were she living there,and
what a terrific row she would raise with
him if she hacl paid the price for fresh eggs
and had been served with old, stale, salt or
peer eggs, unfit for any use? I mention the
farmer housewife, for the reason that the
care of the hen and the eggs produced on
the farm are 'largely looked after by her,and
she depends largely upon the products of
the hens for many of her little wants. The
owner of the farm is often too indifferent to
take any other intereat in the hennery than
to scold his better half for the wasted time
that is given to the hen, which is compelled
to scratch her own living as best she can,
and to pat up with a roost on the fence or
some exposed place outdoors, instead of in a
warm, comfortable roost, and which treat-
ment will, naturally prevent her from lay-
ing the quantity of eggs that it would be
poesible for her to do. Give the hen a
chance, and she still lay twelve to fifteen
dozen egga per year. At eleven cents per
dozen she would thus earn one dollar and
sixty-five cents for his lordship, the farmer.
By shipping these same eggs to market ab-
solutely fresh, or before any of them become
stale, a considerably higher price wordd be
realised.
To return to the housewife, whist kind of
eggs would she like to buy, were she
situated like the millions of people who are
dependent on the products of the farmer,
and what would she think were she eerved
by the grocer with a lot of eggs that had
been pat away in a stone pot and covered
with Bait, with the general idea that is
prevalent among farmers, that they will
keep the eggs until the price is higher, then
mix them in with the fresh? How would
she, like to pay one and a half to two cents
each for theee worthless eggs, which are
worse than bad? A bad egg can be detected
by the expert candler, but a ealted egg is
clear and transparent, and the deception is
perfect until broken for nee. The egg is
worse than bad, for who knows but some
poor person who is unable to spare the
pennies the egg may cost, is the victim of
this same housewife who manipulated her
delicious fresh eggs, and is therefore the un-
conscious robber of not only the poor, but
perhaps some hoepital patient whose
necessities may be extreme and who is de-
prived of this luxury by a fraud practised
by so many whose only hope can be to gain
a few pennies at the expense of some one
else. What else than fraud can this be
called, practised by whom it may! The
pernicious practice of holding ;eggs at home
from the storekeeper or dealer until they
are stale and unpalatable, is as bad as salt-
ing them. Are these the kind you would
like to buy for your own table? Think of it.
Many farmers sty that keeping hens does
not pay, but let any farmer invest say $40,
the value of an ordinary cow, into a brood of
160 chickens, and then take care of them.
Build a cheap but warm house for them in
winter, and they will yield him at a low es-
timate $150 per year in eggs, besides the
poultry that he will use for his table,and the
surplus of young that can be sold, and still
keep up the brood to its full number. For
laying purposes the brown, white or black
Leghorn are the best; but their eggs are
very small and realize a small price,especielly
in Great Britain. They should be crossed
with the Plymouth Rock,Bra,hma or Cochin,
which will increase the size of the egg and
improve the quality as well as size of the
fowl, or better still, keep only the large-
sized fowls,so as to be remunerative as poul-
tr , and their eggs be salable in the market
fo the highest price.
Here I may estate that eince the passage of
the McKinley Bill by the United States
Gevernment,it large portion of our Cenadian
egga are, per forcenshipped to Great Britain,
t
wpere they are virtually sold by weight, and
unless the farmers will raise eggs more uni-
form in size and larger than those at present
produced, the dealeis will be compelles to
bay by weight. This would do away with
the injustice of peying the eame price for a
large and small egg. Daring the early part
of the past season 10 cents was the average
paid for a dozen of eggs, whether large or
email, When handling them I found that
the largest weighed about 11 lbs. per dozen,
and the small about li- llee., and that, by di-
viding thern into three grades according to
weight the proportions were about as fol-
lows, viz.: 55 per cent. weighed 11 lbs. per
dozen; about 35 per cent.weighed li lbs. or,
ess than li lbs, per dozen, and the remain-
ing 10 per cent. weighed about 1/ lbe per
dozen. All the small eggs bought at the
average price I have named and shipped to
England lost the shippers money, while the
large eggs made a profit. Good, fresh eggs,
weighing 1/ lbs. per dozen will always sell
in Ragland for 4 to 5 cents per dozen more
than eggs weighing li lbs. per dozen.
Therefore, will it not be just* and fair to the
farmer or producer for the dealers to buy
by weight? In other words, to buy at so
much per Ib. We might illustrate as fol -
'owe; Supposing the medium size li lbs.per
dozen eggs are worth 9 cents per dozen, this
would be 6 cents per lb. At that price per
Ib, viz.: 6 cants, a dozen of egga weighing
li lbe. would realize 7i cents, while a dozen
weighing 11 lba. would realize 101 cente per
dozen. 1 heve taken the above price be-
cause it worked out more easily than some
others. This clearly showir that 9 cents per
dozen would be too much for those weigh-
ing li lbs, and too little fur those weighing
1/ the, and is simply payinglthe producer a
premium to raise email eggs. A brood of
500 fowie ia all that should be -kept on one
place or on one farm. These will pay $1,50
each per annum with proper attention, so
as to have the eggs put on the market ebeo-
lately fresh. Speaking of fresh eggs does
not mean eggs that are called fresh, simply ; ring. The most s
because they have not been salted down or ; cattle is the entir
otherwise preserved; neither does it mean i and they would

place, and the egg should never be - kept
over a week before being taken to the mar-
ket. By stlict attention to the foregoing di-
rections the shippets may be able to forward
these eggs to even the distant market of
Great Britain with some of the original
bloom of freehnees upon them, at least
during the autumn and winter, if not during
the warm weather in summer. Further, no
hen should be kept on a farm for laying pur-
poses longer than the second year, and new
blood should be- introduced into the brood
every year by an exchange of the male bird.
It would not be wise on my part to over-
look the shipper who is engaged in one of
the met important business industries in
tbie country, an industry that has grown
into prominence in a comparatively short
time, and is making rapid strides to suprem-
acy in the commercial world. Few persons
who have not given the egg a commercial
thought have any idea of the volume of trade
when concentrated,or the aggregate value of
the product of the hen, and the relation in
which she has foughther way to recognition's.
an important factor in furnishing the human
family with her produot-the egg, fresh,
palatable, wholesome, luscioue and delicious.
ller work is done. The egg is perfect, and
now assumes its commercial relation, and is
in the hands of the shipper. It is just as
necessary for the shipper to take care of the
product when in his hands as it is for the
farmer to look after it while in his, and to
be financially a successful shipper he must
give it every attention in detail, and first see
that the eggs he is shipping are fresh. A
shipper who fail. to distinguish the differ-
ence between old, stale eggs and fresh, and
persiets in packing them together only dam-
ages hie prospects for realising the best
prices and establishing a reputation for his
brand. He ming also see that they are
neatly and securely packed in good, strong,
clean packages as the time has gone by
when rotten, smashed, cracked tar stale eggs
can be sold in large or small quantities for
full price. The shipper stands in the same
relation as does the housewife, when the
question is asked him: What kind of eggs
would you like to buy for your table were
you dependent on a grocer who is supposed
to furnish you with what you ask for?
Strictly fresh eggs would always sell at
mark, and most of the year at a premium,
hence the shipper should examine every egg
he ships during summer, fall and winter
and know by a study of his trade the quality I
of the stock he buys and rejects from the
farmer and storekeeper, just as they are re-
jected by the consumer. The sooner all
shippers adopt this rule the sooner they will
bring up the trade to that perfection its im-
portance demands.
The egg produced and in the hands of the
shipper now finds its way to the market
through the hands of the receiver, who dis-
tributes to the retail buyer, who it] known
generally as the grocer, and be in turn will
deliver it to the family, where it will be
consumed, "That all men are honest"
must not be expected among the dealers
any more than it can be looked for among
the shippers or producers. Still, the ma-
jority of them are honest, fair dealing men,
but there are exceptions to all rules. Thus you
will find receivers who deliberately sell stale
old for fresh, or who sell "mixed," that is
" half fresh," and "half old," in order to
undersell their neighbors in the trade. These
deserve the severest penal servitude for
what they know to be robbery. There are
many reputable firms in the trade and these
should be sought after by the shipper and
the grocer. The question is often asked the
dealer as to how long eggs can be kept goad
in a refrigerator. I think the question
should be asked in this manner: How long
will it take an egg put in a refrigerator to
become so stale as to be unfit for use! This
would be putting a proper question in a
proper way, and the answer to the latter is
-simply two to three months. When kept a
longer time the evaporation is fully 25 per
dent., or requiring in weight 15 eggs to make
an equal to 12 when fresh, or at 12c per
do,zen, making them cost 15c in actual
weight. Limed eggs, properly kept, are
preferable many times ever, as they are
healthy, palatable food and practicable, for
bakers, or any pastry purpose equal to
fresh, while held eggs are not.
The importance of the egg has now been
traced from the hen to the shipper, from the
shipper to the receiver, from the receiver to
the grocer, by whom it will be handed
over to the consumer of every class to be
tested on its merits for freshness and qual-
ity. The teat is now made and comes home
to us all. What kind would you like to
buy, either for table, pastry or other pur-
pose? This inq iry needs no answer but
one: that is, st
eggs. Hence let

The importation of cattle made by the
Hon. John Drydep, Minister of Agriculture,
for the Experimental Farm, Guelph, arrived
there on Saturday, January 30th. Owing
to their ninety da a term in quarantine and
the length of tim they spent, on the train
in travelling up, hey looked somewhat out
of form. Taking This into consideration,
however, they are a lot which will evidently
do credit to the Institution, the Prevince
and the Minister of Agriculture who pur-
chased them.
They consist in
the Ayrshire, G -
Angus and Red
shires, a cow an
from one of the best milking herds in Scot-
' land, and will do btless prove efficient in
improving the airy stock at the farm and
in the vicinity. Two Galloway heifers,
excellent speeime s of their breed, will form
valuable object le ons for the students in
the class room. he Suesex, consisting of
s bull and two he fere three years old, are
the first of thi breed introduced into
Canada. They a e of a deep red color
and resemble much in conformation
the Devon, but are considerably larger
. and hence, we sh nld judge, more suitable
for beefing purpo es in this country. The
conformation of t e bead; the compact thick
body; the melte , elastic akin; and the
soft, richly colore hair give a thrifty ap-
pearance aril in icate exceptional feeding
lk qualities. The heifers are about the size of
our ordinary grade cows, while the bull will
weigh about 1,8 0 or 1,900 pounds. With
a trifle more w dth on the top of the
shoulders he wou d be almost a model beef-
ing animal. We elieve that before crossing
' the water he won many honors in the show

In all, these cattle are excellent ppeolmene

The Dominion Grange.
The annual meeting of the Dominion
Grange was held in London last week.
Secretary Wilkie, in his report, stated that
his extensive corrsopondence during the past
year on grange mattere.had . extended from
the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic ocean,
that he had sent ont nearly 700 copies of the
proceeding. of tbe last annual meeting, and
400 circulars in June containing petitions
for ,disaussion in the subordinate granges.
Though no new granges had been organized
only one cherter had been returned, while
thirteen dormant sub -granges had been
resuscitated. The Legielative Committee
recommended that the following amend-
ments be asked for in the laws of the
oountry
1, That the Dominion Government be
asked to reduce the postage upon letters
from three to two cents per ounce.We be-
lieve that by such reduction our revenue
from the sale of stamps would not; suffer to
any material extent, as it woulid induce
many more persons to write lettere than do
so now i also that fewer postal cards would
be need, as letters would be sent l in their
stead. Much of the business of the oountry
h
is done through the mails, and ev7 facility
should be accorded the public fore tran-
'action of their business in the che pest and
most efficient manner.
2. That we memorialize the
Government to place binder twine
Dominion
upon the
free list, as it has become an ind speneeble
article to the farmers of this coun ry. The
revenue derived at present from twine is
almost nil, and the raw material fijom which
It is made is admitted free ; henc
creased price paid in Canada for
thet in other countries enri
manufacturers at the expense

3. We express our emphatic d
of the action of the Dominion Par
appropriating to themselves the e
indemnity for the last session.
4. We would ask the Govern
duce the duty on coal oil to three
Imperial gallon.
5. We would ask the Governm nt of On-
tario to so amend the Municipal At that the
number of members in County Councils can
be reduced in the following manner: The
