300 ELEMENTS OF FARM PRACTICE 



The young people in a community can get valuable 

 experience and remuneration by taking the matter up and 

 marketing eggs through the local creamery. 



When a hen lays an egg in a clean nest, it is a clean egg. 

 The next hen coming to the nest may soil the first egg. 

 Gather eggs often.

 cartons. Ship in good, strong cases direct to some good 

 merchant in the nearest large city. Interest enough persons 

 so that several cases can be shipped each time, and ship at 

 leaist twice a week.

 eggs?

 Arithmetic: 



1, If each farm produces 30 eggs per day, how many farms 

 would be required to produce enough eggs each day to fill a 30-dozen 

 case? 



2. How many farms, producing 30 eggs each per day, would 

 be required to produce enough eggs, so that five cases, holding 30 doz.
