E. W. WAGNER & CO.'S REVIEW CHICAGO, April 16. Tho com market displayed steadiness today, prices holding within a narrow range.

Country offerings light, due primarily to wet weather. Sample value unchanged to li cent lower with slow demand. Oats trade" very slow with range very narrow. Scattered buying in evidence on continued wet weather. Shipping demand poor. Sales of 100,000 oats to go to store. Hogs 15 cents higher with top $20.90; trade on the whole small.

Looking at the marvels of Mars1 through a telescope is a big-scale replica of the wonders which the egg tester sees as he candles eggs Jor condition and quality. A peep through the egg-testing device, plus the ability
to differentiate Between sound ana stale eggs, enables the operator to add markedly to the price of the fresh quality eggs which he sells.
The shell of a new laid egg has a soft "bloom," which is the visible nlffn of nerfect. freshness. This bloom
is destroyed by a touch, and in any
case disappears arter a few days ex
posure to the air. After tnat tne apnearanne of the shell Is not a reliable
indication of the condition of the con
tents By holding an egg between the eye and a strone lieht in such a manner
that the rays of light come to the eye through the egg, the condition of the contents can be seen. This method of examining eggs is called "candling." This work is done in a dark room, using a light inclosed in a case having opposite the light a hole of proper size and shape before which the egg is held for examination. Handy Home-made Egg Tester. An ordinary hand lamp, a lantern, an Incandescent bulb, or a flash light may bo used. Any box large enough
to hold the lamp, set on end, can db used for a case. Besides the hole in the side opposite the light there should be a hole in the top end. otherwise, the heat from the light would fire the box. A tester chimney such as is used on a lamp for testing eggs In incubation may be used for cand. ling. For convenience the light should be niaoed on a table or shelf. The eggs
to be tested should be placed at one
side of the light, wMle on tne opposite side receptacles for the good and bad eggs should be provided. Each egg should be examined alone by holding
it, large end up, close to tne ngnt. a perfectly good fresh egg shows "full" and "clear" before the lifcht. there is
almost no air cell at the large end,
and the yolk outline Is oniy ramiiy discernible. A fixed air cell of oneeighth to three-sixteenths of an inch in depth indicates a fresh egg, as eggs
run in general. A larger air ceil wun a mobile lower line indicates accordin to size and fluctuation a stale
egg, or one becoming weak and wat
ery. Very small spots which are apparent In the eggs are usually blood nintn T.nrsro Rnots. rings. . and shad
ows are due to heat and germination and indicate decomposition in the first
stages. An egg that is opaque except
for a large fixed air cell contains a chick dead at an advanced stage of decomposition. An opaque egg with large air cell having a mobile lower line is in an adcanced stage of fluid
decomposition. Eggs snowing souea
spots or rings can orten De uunzea Dy breaking them and separating the bad
part.
Preserving Eggs. Tinrins? the sDrine and early sum
mer, when eggs are abundant and reasonable in price, attention should be
given to preserving tnem ior miw use. Fresh eggs, properly preserved in water class or lime water,' may be
kept for 8 to 12 months in excellent
condition and used with gooa results. Eggs laid during April, May, and early June have been found to keep better than those laid later in the season.
if satisfactory results are to be od-
tained, the eggs should be fresh and
clean, and, if possible, mtertne. a,ggs that float when placed in the solution
are not fresh, and tnereiore cannot do
preserved. When an egg Is only slightly 6olled, a cloth dampened with vinecar can be used 'to remove such
stains. Under no circumstances should
badly soiled or cracked eggs be preserved; If put Into the jar while dirty they will spoil, and washing removes a protective coating which prevents spoiling. ' Store Eggs in Lime Water. Where waterglass cannot be obtained for the preservation of eggs, the limewater method may be substituted. Dissolve two or three pounds of unslacked lime in 5 gallons of water that has previously been boiled and allowed to cool, and permit the mixture to stand until the lime settles and the liquid is clear. Place clean, fresh eggs in a clean, earthenware crock or Jar, and pour the clear lime water
into the vessel until the eggs are covered. At least 2 inches of the solution should cover the top layer of eggs.
Sometimes a pound or salt is usea with the lime, but experience has shown that in general the lime without the salt is more satisfactory. Fresh, clean eggs, properly preserved, can be used satisfactorily for all purposes in cooking and for the table. . . . i . .
be mutually satisfactory, and for the
further purpose or aajusung otner grievances that the employes may have against the respective companies.
'4. Women Tne principles 01 mis
board state: 'It it shall become neces
sary to employ women on work ordinarily performed by men, they must be allowed equal pay for equal work and must not be allotted tasks dis
proportionate to their Btrengtn Th hoard therefor recommend!
that women performing the same work
as men shall receive tne same pay for equal work and that they shall not be allotted tasks disproportionate to their strength.
"5. reinstatement or Discharged The right of the workers
to organize into trade unions and bargain collectively through chosen rep
resentatlves is recognizea ana aifirmed. This right should not be denied, abridged, or interfered with by the employer In any manner whatsoever. . .
"The employes allege that in certain instances discrimination was practiced heeause of union membership and
legitimate trade-union activities. The board recommends that the employes who have been discharged, as they claim, solely because of un'.on affiliation and legitimate trade-union activities, present their claims to the committees hereinabove provided for; that said committees take up said instances of discrimination with the resnective companies involved, and en
deavor to adjust same. "Th board further recommends
that If it is proven by the agencies
above provided tor mat discrimination was practiced, that the employes
or employe be reinstated in ineir emniovment. at the iob or work of sim
ilar nature to that which each was
doing when dismissed, at rates or pay not less than each was receiving nor less than the rate established for the work upon which each is reemployed, plus any increases which such work mav receive under the terms of this
finding, without loss of seniority, rat
ing, or bonuses, and wltn pay ior an the time lost by reason of dismissal, minus the amount. 1 any, of intervening earnings. (Signed)
