TO GET FANCY PRICES.
To secure a fancy price for eggs, you must be absolutely certain that every egg sold is fresh. .Don’t leave an egg in nest ‘for nest egg, —You might accidentally get one in gathering and send it to your customer —then good-by customer. When the breeding season is over sell all the roosters, or if you have a few good ones you wish to keep, pen them up. Then you can get a fancy price for infertile eggs, which are tn great demand. Clean all soiled eggs with a damp cloth and dry well, so they will not shine. Keep all small and imperfect eggs at home. Fill each layer with eggs of the same size, they look so much better that way. Pack carefully, so they will reach the customer In good condition, and absolutely guarantee every egg to be fresh. You will not have any trouble in getting and holding customers for all you can produce, at several" cents above the market price.
