; * t f .pljissjfylnfl -Eggs.
Sorting end classifying eggs Is a
business of considerable magnitude in
any great dity; ' but 'the problem of
ascertaining the relative age of an
egg is one that is still in its primitive
stage of solution/- A century ago the
farmers held their eggs up before the
sun and by squinting at them with one
eye they would tell their age nearly as
well as a horseman .can estimate the
years qf a trotter by examining his;
teeth. Today the'expert egg testers
hold their eggs up before candles in
dark rooms to find .out the same re
sults. The candles. In some cases,
are merely pbwefful lights shining
through an aperture into a dark room;
but the eggs so tested ore called
"candled."
From this dark room the "candled"
eggs come in a steady stream classi
fied as firsts, seconds, and thirds.
Then there are checks and dirties,
which are separated by themselves.
Refrigerator eggs form another' di
vision entirely distinct from so-called
fresh eggs. The freshness of an egg
Is not always a question of time. Heat
more than age causes decay. In hot
weather eggs In transit to market will
sometimes spoil within twenty-four
hours. In the great refrigerators
thousands of eggs two weeks and
more old will thus be fresher In taste
and appearance than the new-laid eggs
that have been exposed to the beat
A blgb temperature stimulates the
growth of the germs which cause de
cay In the egg, and a low tempera
ture correspondingly checks the
growth. Consequently summer laid
eggs placed In a refrigerator Im
mediately after being laid may be
kept several months, and still sold for
fresh refrigerator eggs.—New York
Times.
