Excerpt from The Egg Question Solved At the present time no marketable article has equal demand with fresh-laid eggs in winter. If people could depend upon, the quality, this same demand would continue throughout the entire year, and this might be if the freshness of the eggs could be guaranteed. But to open an egg of a hot summer morning and find it bad in quality would destroy the temper of a saint, and rob the most sturdy of his desire to eat. If all eggs could be stamped with the actual date of production, then fresh-laid eggs would double in value, while the others would be of but little worth. As it is, we must depend upon the word of the dealer, who is too often misled by those who furnish him with questionable products. Only the shell of the egg is between the producer and his honor, and if you can avoid it never allow the breaking of this shell to cast discredit upon the business. Egg Producers The question is continually being pressed as to which breed or variety is most profitable as egg producers. All who contemplate keeping hens for winter egg production seek this information. Those who have egg farms contend for their own selection: but the fact is, it is the best management of hens that secures the best results as egg producers. One poultryman keeps Buff Cochin fowls for producing winter eggs and succeeds admirably with them, and others who keep both Leghorns and Wyandottes get no eggs at all in winter.
