Market Better Eggs
BY C. J. MAUPIN
N. C. State Collage Poultry Dept.
Egg producers in the South should
know the vahie of grades and secure the
advantages of marketing on a graded ba
sis. Producers wonder sonietiines why
their eggs can not be sold in large quan
tities on northern markets for fancy
prices.
As fine eggs can be produced in the
Carolinas as in any other states, but
there is a jireat lack of uniformity of
the eggs bought by our consumers.
Fundamental Step*
Fundamental steps in management
that will produce eggs of high quality
follow:
1—Froduce healthy birds, bred to lay
large eggs.
2—Feed a ti ell balanced ration to get
good yolks and whites in eggs.
.3—Produce infertile eggs, especially
during the hot months,
4—(idther eggs tu'o or three times
daily.
5—(jOoI eggs well before placing in
cases or cartons.
6—Hlace eggs in containers, large end
up.
7—Keep in a cool, dry place. •
S—Don't wash dirty eggs, (^lean
with steel ivool or sandpaper.
q—Market eggs at least twice a week,
lo—(trade eggs at the farm. Use small,
abnormally shaped, dirty, or cracked
eggs at home.
I^arge eggs are required to get best
prices on large markets where grades
have been established. Sinc^ egg size is
inherited, flock owners should know the
breeding back of their birds. It is im
portant that well-balanced rations be
fed to produce firm whites and yolks of
good color.
Handle as Perishable
Eggs are perishable food and must be
handled as such. When laid they have a
temperature of around to2 degrees. If
fertile, the germ in the yolk is active and
the egg will incubate at a temperature
above 70 degrees. To pre\ent this, the
egg must be cooled below 70 degrees. It
is better to have it go below 60 degrees
as soon as possible.
During the hot months, eggs should be
gathered two or three times daily either
in wire baskets, or spread out on wire
screen, laid on a clean shelf in a cool
cave, room, or cellar. If fertile eggs re
main long above 70 degrees, the germ
disc on the yolk eidarges, a “heat spot”
appears and the quality drops to a U. S.
grade or standard.
Such eggs are now quoted five to seven
cents or iiwre below U. S. specials and
extras on the New York market. While
the food value of the egg is still all right,
its market value is greatly reduced ; and
those who buy from producers may have
to sell these grades at a loss. It is,
therefore, important to everyone cx>n-
nccted with the egg industry that eggs be
quickly and carefully cooled on the farm.
Candling Important
It is important that olily infertile eggs
bi' produced during the Summer. Unless
the rooster is a valuable breeding bird
he should be sold since he will eat con
siderable feed before another year. Val
uable breeding birds should be penned
to themselves during hot weather.
When possible, all eggs sold on the
markets should be candled, especially
where a trade is built.on special, fancy or
extra grades. Candling permits location
of blood clots, meat spots, or watery
whites. While these do not interfere with
the food value, they affect internal ap
pearance and are not wanted by partic
ular consumers.
Candling is a simple operation and
can be done by anyone having a lamp,
candle or electric bulb, with the light
pa.ssing in a beam through an opening
3-4 to 1 inch in diameter.
