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. f:lsu K?H RE r D E K?'S- E k« Three Ages of Man. 8he first age of man is when be thinks about all. the wicked things which be lii going to do.
