PROFITABLE TRADE BRANCHES. IX THE EOO TRADES 35. Fresb Eggs -Kr;;s to be palatable should be eaten in ,i -trictly fresh condi- tion ; thori'fore they should reach the consumer witliout unneei'>sarv delav. Tins re(|uires (1) that the eg^s he collected regularly every day and stored in a i oej ri..,in (temp. W to oO" F ) until a sullicient numter are on hand to deliver to a dealer : ij^ that the dealer forward the eggs to the merchant at h'ast once a week; an) that the merchant lihould protect the egL,'s from deterioration while in his posses.sifm. .Some farmers are so situated that thev can establish a eitv trade in liesji c'j'js througliout the year. Stiictly fresh eggs siiipped from the farm to the eitv mereha Tit weekl\-, are usually bou<;ht at a premium of several cents a di«en. For all farmers a most profitjible branch of tlie busine.ss is the trade in fit sli wintei eggs. Every winter there is a great demand for new-laid eggs ; the supply of new laid egu's is limited, and high prices per dozen are paid. Exporting (inns buv great i]uanti ties of eggs during the spring and summer months. .\fcirkfl Jieqiiirfmeiilji. 'Then' is a growing preference on the home niaike;, f,,r brown-shelled egu's. The shells of the eggs sh _'i.'s should be paiked into cases holding 1 2 dozens or 30 dozens each. 36. Egg Preservation. While no processor [neservat ion \mi1 letain the tine tlavour of a newly laid egg, .so that later it can Iionestly be sold as sik'Ii. vet for culinary pur posi's wlien tlie supply of new-laid egijs is limited, preserved eges uieei the demand. The eggs are placed in the preserva'ive diiniig the spring aiKi summer. None but frjsh eggs should 1k! packed' ; stale or iracked eifi^s are not onlv bail in themselves, but they will affect those packel with them The eirgs niiis! l>e fairly clean as e%'s that require washing are piMir 'packers.'

As exposure to th/ air tends to weaken the pieser%ati\e, the vessel siioiiiij be . overed with a pien: ot hurlaji upon which .i paste of lime is spread. The eggs can be placed in the preservative every day ; they should lie packed cioselv in the ves-sol, but no part of any egg should 1«> abovi^ the surface of the liquid.

When t'eedinj,' fowls that are confined oj at liberty, aninial food sliould ^uiiply the ;,'reater part of the jirotein or nitrogenou^ )>ortion of the ratMii. In that caM'. the i.'iains aiT rc(|iiired more for maintjiining the heat of tlie fowl's body, and it would not be [jrotltHl)lf to purchase expensive ;,'rains for tills use. Poultry will thrive better on a variety of foodstufls than they will on a single food of the .same nutritive value. It is preferaole tf> feed a numher of grains, both ground for the mash and for feeding whole in the litter, rather than to limit the selec- tion to one or two sorts. The palatability of tin' mash is another consideration ; ground buckwfi.'at. L'round corn and iriound oats are the grams that are most preferred. I II ih.' crate fattening of chickens the most .mportarit factor is that thi- food prtxluces a wlntf, tine grained tlesh, so tliat in fattening <-luck>ns the suitable grains an- liinite*! in number. 50. Vegetables. — The valui- of vegetabl.' foods such as c|i>\.i. mangel-wiirt/clH. turnips or cabbages i.s attributed to their siicculcncy and also to their bulky nature. The amount of digestible nutrients in them is coinparativclv small. The ronts niav be cut in half and stuck on nails driven in the wall uejir i he er^und, Thi' . lo\ er js best used as litter, (,'ut clover often causes crop-impaction. 51. Lime.
