Improvement in Quality Oﬁerell Pl! Pllblic

y.» i.

The effect of the “Rcgllllliloils respecting the Grading and Market- 111g o! Eggs” is beginning to be fclt byiprodticers offering their eggs for sale on the public markets. ln- spectors of the Dominion Livo Stqck Branch report that consum- ers now look for the egg! marked ‘fresh specials‘ and ‘fresh extras.‘ and on some markets retailers are buying the farmers eggs as soon as they are graded. The quality of the eggs offered is steadily improv- ing. On the Ottawa market one day last‘ week eggﬂ Bfﬂillllll ‘specials’ were sold immediately at 90 cents a dozen, and 0n U10 Toronto market up to $1.00 t1 doaen. .

This is the season when “held" eggs appear, and sortie of the so called ‘new laid’ eggs have been found to be from three to four weeks old. On the St. Lawrence Market, Toronto, last week. an In- spector found ln one basket a mixture. of all grades together with several rots and the explanation given by the farmer was that they were his neighbours eggs. in an- other basket, out of 14 dozen eggs, 12 dozen anti 5 were found to be spots and black rots and in the balance the yolks showed a ten- dency to stick to the side of the shell. In this instance the market superintendent confiscated the eggs and ordered the mun off the market. Several lots of eggs have been found hy the Inspectors dur- ing the past two or three weeks to grade only ‘seconds’ and in several instances those offering them for sale have confessed to having kept

"the eggs patrkctl iii oats or some

other material until they had sufficient to bring to market.

On the Edmonton public market last week the eggs from 53 farmer producers were candietl and grad- ed. Only S rots and a very small pertwntage of ‘seconds’ were graded out.

Sonic consumers purchasing

.cggn on the London farmers

market have taken the eggs after purt-hasitil: them to the cnndling booth to sec if they were getting the grade for which they paid. it

- has reached the point on this par-

ticular market where those who have made a practice of selling inferior eggs lift‘. beginning to leave the market and take their eggs to the wholesale. One pro- ducer found that he received no better treatment from the whole- salcrbetitiuso the latter graded the

_ ragga and out of 11 dozen took 31,4;

dozen rots.

An‘ improvenientin thonuallty bf the eggs offered nli the public markets is taking place from day to day nnd many of those who ivert- at first strt-nnotialy opposed to what tlicy termed an undue in- terference with their business, now take their eggs very cheerfully to thc tfﬂlltllllli! rooms to have them

graded. The case of an out’: Bail!"- er attending the St. nawreucc Market, TOTODtD, may be lnstauccd as an example of this. The first time this lllilil came under the notice of the authorities, his eggs were marked ‘seconds.’ A few days later his eggs were market ‘firsts’ and samples were taken by an In- spector who found tho eggs to be up to date represented. Last week this gatherer appeared with his eggs market ‘extras’ and the qual- ity of the eggs was ln accordance with the grade stated.

Consumers can assist in the work being done by the Dominion Live Stock Branch when purchasing eggs on our public market by ask- ing for eggs by grade. The grades of fresh eggs are ‘specials,’ ‘extras.’ and ‘seconds.

eggs offered the consuming public through retailers to be excellent. By this I mean that ‘extras’ and ‘firsts’ are offered for sale this year, whereas previously the stor- age eggs would for the most part grade only ‘seconds! A tremendous quantity of storage eggs have been

weeks, and several retailers have informed me personally that they have experienced less trouble with this customers with regard to storage eggs purchased by them this season than any pervlons seas- on in business."

The above is quoted from a lett- or received by the Dominion Live Stock Branch, Department of Agriculture, written by an Egg In- spector located in Vancouver.

Consumers generally in the past

have not taken kindly to ‘storage’ eggs, and they have usually given as the reason, that the quality is not good; that they get a lot of watery eggs. and occasionally some are musty and bad. As a re- stilt of this all storage‘ eggs have been tabooetl, and the retailer has simply sold them as eggs, not dar- ing to mention ‘storage in connec- tion with them. The Egg ltcgultltioils now ili effect provide for tho grading of all eggs offered for sale. alld the testimony given above is proof of the contention that if good eggs are put into storage arid kept at the proper temperature. good eggs can be taken out of storage. The application ofthe Regulations will, it is felt. help to remove the pre- judice against the world ‘storage.’ Reports received recently indicate that consumers are purchasing good storage eggs in preference to low grade fresh-eggs.

(C. E. MaoKENZlE)

I have no doubt but that every reader of, this ufticle will agree with me when i any that at the present time the outlook for the farmer is by no means rosy, with every tiling one has to sell at rock bottom pricesdil fact not much more than one hall‘ of cost of production plus interest on capital and all plur- chasable commodities still fur above where they should be so as to even up.

Then looking backward we see that all our good and bad times have followed each other in suc- cession at Qorter or longer per-

The farmer, then, who is able to cater to the wan-ts oi‘ the trade is always sure to make good.

In leading up to the title lit the tOD of this article, I believe that now la the time to breed and rear dairy cows. Our country along with all lﬂtllefﬂ that Joni-tilt liumali- ity's battle in the great wnr are at present under immense obligations and the money to cancel these burdens must of a necessity come largely from the soil, hence then, our duty or opportunity as farm- ers is our building stirely t'or the future and there is no way in which we can do so to greater advantage than to improve the quality of our flair)‘ machinery and equipment. To do this intelligently we must start right, namely ﬁnd out the cap- acity and capability of our present dairy herds by the use of scales and tester, then once we ﬁnd our- selves as it wcm continue the good work lby the elimination of the Scrub bill-l and have him replaced by a pure bred illlllllill of one of the distinctive dairy breeds. one] that has something behind hlln from both his sire and dam and one that will leave his impress ‘on his offspring.

Buyers at present not only de- mand grade nlilkcrs to be 0|‘ good dairy type of the breed wanted.
