STOP HUGE
SNIPPING EGGS
Millions to be Saved to Industry
Yielding $500,000,000 Each
Year.
To reduce the enormous break
age of eggs in transit, which
yearly causes a loss of millions
of dollars to producers and rais
es the price of eggs for consum
ers, the United States Department
of Agriculture, through its Bu
reau of Chemistry, is making ex
periments to determine the safe
st manner of packing eggs for
long and short shipment by rail.
The waste from the breakage of
eggs, according to the Year Book,'
In New York City alone in one
year was 137,80 4,768 eggs, or
more than 11,500,000 dozens, out
of a total consumption in 1909
of 127,698,600 dozens of eggs.
In other words, about nine per
cent of all eggs received in New
Y'ork were cracked, and of these
a large nu'mber were unlit for
fo.od use. The egg supply of large
omes, aim particularly oi mew
York, i&.s to come from a Iona
distance, because, according to
the thirteenth census, the Mid
dle Atlatntic slates in 1900 sold
only enough to supply New York
alone if every egg had been sent
to that point. For the Eastern
coast cities the distant corn dis
tricts are pracically the sole
source of supply, because the lit
tle gray nrtn does not have to
scratch so hard for a living in
(he corn field as she does where
grain is scarce. Increasing con
sumption of eggs adds to the dis
lance 'min which eggs must
come, ;lnd makes the safe ship.
menl of this valuable food pro
duct more and more essential.
It is i gured that the eggs m w
broken in shipment naturally tend
ti> keep the price of I his valuaole
food Ingt'cr. The Food Research
Laboratory is-now engaged in
shipping • ggs handled in d;,Tcr
oiit ways < n long journeys i . dif
ferent points in tbo Uited of t -,
and is carefully noting their con
dilion on receipt at their destina
tion.
Shippers, railroad men ai d
commission men are co-operaf--'
ing heartily with I he {investiga
tors of the governmenl. N
Railroads contend that their
damage losses are such as to
make the carrying of eggs unpro
fitable. The shippers and consig
nees have large sums of money
tied up m claims and .litigation
with the roads. If the govern
ment succeeds, as it hopes to do,
in devising a successful method
,f shipping eggs, it will contrib
ute vastly to the poultry indus
try, which amounts to half a bil
lion dollars annually.
Mrs. Harry Miller apid her two
daughters, Miss lJavis and Wal

noon to make a trip across the

pelled to walk hack to town, as
