Mvory repdor of tho Progressive Farmer bhould know that bis eggs are much woro liable to decay if laid iu damp, inuaty, unclean neatb. He Bhould know that tho market value of his ok km will be decreased if his hous are allowed to wade in mud and filth* at* they go to , the neet. He should kuow, above all, that the genu; In a fertile^ egg be gin^ to develop uh soon a* the ogg la laid, if thai temperature Is above 68 degrees, and that this develop ment V* fayt or slow according to whother the ogp la kept warm ot cool. The normal temperature in an iucubator in 103 degree*. Jf the egg is kept at a temperature of 90 degrees, the germ will develop as much In seven ojA eight day# an It would in one day in an Incubator. If the temperature gets to 96 de grees ot4 inore,,4t will require only three or four days to "get develop ment equal to a day in ther incuba tor. The egg kept in a jkltcben near the coojking stove, or In u -warm pantry1, or left in the nest in the summer time may bo fully this warm, The egg hauled to town on a hot day without any protection from the sun, may boi heated to 107 and 108 degrees, and at this tem perature there will be as much dor velopment in one day as there woul bd in three day q in an incubator. Of course, the' merchant who buys the eggs knows nothing of it if they have been wroagly handled, but thei men who buy} eggs In the city figure on the average num ber of eggs they lose| and the price of all eggs marked down according ly. The rules to be obseryed, then, in getting good eggs and keeping them good until marketed are: to have clean nests, to gather the eggs every day, to keep them JuBt as cool as possible) without freezing, and to market just as quickly as possible. An egg begins to deter iorate from fthe timet IU is laid, and While 'cold storage is the best pre servative yet known, no cold stored egg, or tto egg more than three or four days old can be as good as one that is freshly laid. ?
