If the rural delivery is at your door, 9i1e city market is there for your small produce, say specialists of the United States Department of Agricul ture. At present many producers are neglecting entirely this marketing medium or are not utilizing it to the extent they might. Wider use of thel parcel post for marketing eggs is particularly advisable for the small producer who can easily and advan tageously build up a direct trade with the city. When more produce is mar keted from the farm to the city there will be less complaint on the part of the producer that the prices he must hell for are too low, and less on the part of the consumer that the prices he pays are too high. Sell Only First-Class Eggs It is preferable to produce infertile eggs for market, as fertile eggs de teriorate rapidly in warm wveather and are the cause of much loss. The eggs should be gathered at least once a day and stored in a well-ventilated p.lace, where they can be kept as cool as pos sible. ' As washing removes the nmucil aginous coating of eggs andl opens the pores of the shell, it should not be practicedl in the case of eggs intend edl for high-class trade. Soiled eggs should be used at home or disposed of otherwise than to a parcelpost custo-. meor. If there is any dloub~t concerning the freshness or quality of the eggs, they should be candled, so that all eggs showing any defect may he held at home, say poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agricul \ture. For parcel-post shipment it is essential that uniform containers and a uniform nack should be utsed, as otherwise the packages will not wear wvell, nor wvill they look a ttractive. andl appeal to the fancy tradle. Further more, the containers should be stout and durable, so as to make it worth while to return them as "'empties" for subsermiint use. According to post-oflice regulations, Nt'gs will be accepted for local deC h very when t hey are so packedl in a basket or other container as to pre vent dlamage to other mail matter. Eggs to be sent beyond the local of lice are aiccptedl for mail ing, regardl less of distance, when each egg is wrappedl separately and surroundled Dbde Fabricated Bungalow. gia qwa osy, ubstanitial, enidural 1ser wa)Iayer construction 'w Iainlation against Summer heat Shipped ta eay-to-handle sect!d inaa, bor planas we furnish.

All such parcels must be labeled "Eggs." Eggs in parcels weighing more than 20 pounds are accepted for mailing to oflices in the first and second zones when packed in crates, boxes, buckets, or other con tainers having tight hottoms to pre vent the escape of anything from the package and so constructed as prop erly to protect the contents. Such packages must be marked "Eggs This Side Up" and must be transport ed outside of mail sacks or boxes. It is advisable that square block tis sue paper, which comes in packages of 500 sheets each, soft wrapping paper, or newspaper should be used around each egg, as otherwise thereis danger of breakage in handling. Average hens' eggs will weigh about 2 ounces apiece, or between 2 and 3 pounds a dlozen, when properly packed for mail ing in a carton. Most parcels contain ing a dozen eggs will exceed 2 pounds, but will not reach 3; therefore the postage on them will be 7 cents within the first and second zones, or 150 mile limit. A parcel containing 2 dozen eggs will add, perhaps, 2 cents to the postage, though sometimes only I cent, depending on the character of the container and wrapper. Ship Large-Size Packages The larger the parcel, within the size andl weight limits, the cheaper is the postage, as the first pound of every package costs 5 cents within the first andl secondl zones, while each ad dlitional pound1(, up to 50, (costs hbut 1 cent.

Consequently he bui up a business of supplying products resorters in the summer and of shij ping produce by parcel post and e: press to these persons at their cil homes in the winter. The principal products shipped at butter, eggs, and dressed poultry. Th producer uses good shipping contai ers and packs produce attractively. A he is acquainted with his custonier he renders statements of accoun only once a month. In this way tl matter of making payments is simp fied for the customers. This producer has had no trouble e'stablishing his business nor in retai ing customers. He states that I1 only trouble has been in gettit enough high-grade produce to supp all of his customers. -0 CAFE SCENE OF FATAL SHOOTIls Greenville, December 13.-As a r sult of a disturbance arising in Main street cafe at 7 o'clock tonig1 rEEEEEEEEEgi All Hat 10 per Ouri included : fascinati the best i m R See us for Rul BALL rHE UNIV Here is the Ford Runabc its into the daily life of ev 1 the time.
