CONSTRUCTION AND ARRANGEMENT OF ROOMS. 



An abundant supply of natural light is the first essential in suc- 

 cessful egg breaking. Serious faults may be expected in a product 

 prepared other than in full daylight. For this reason the actual egg 

 breaking should be done, if possible, in a corner room, as opened 

 eggs can not be graded accurately by artificial light. The room 

 where the utensils are washed and sterilized also should have nat- 

 ural lighting. Well-lighted, up-to-date breaking and sterilizing 

 rooms are shown in Plate I.
