STUDYING EGGS 253 



from a New York commission merchant who was han- 

 dling the eggs from a certain farm which had introduced 

 many modern methods. He spoke especially of the ex- 

 tra size and quality of the eggs from this farm. I saw 

 also some of the eggs. They were all brown, but not 

 graded at all for color, and they did not seem to me to 

 be extra large. What would be the happy state of 

 mind of such a middleman could he receive eggs fully 

 graded to size, shape, and color ?
