120 EGGS AND POULTRY 
This makes a solid mass of eggs and saw- 
dust, with no motion of eggs from side to 
side or up and down. One can be reasonably 
certain that those eggs will reach the cus- 
tomer as sound as when they were packed. 
Only dry, soft wood sawdust should be used. 
The crates weigh more than the regulation 
crate, but are delivered by the express com- 
panies for the same price, 30 dozen being 
delivered in New York for the 42 cents. The 
express company has been the gainer because 
there has been only one loss by breakage.

CRATES AND SHIPPING 
To ship in this way you should buy 1,900 
fillers, 3 dozen size and 1,000 card board di- 
visions; the fillers costing about $7.00 per 
M and the divisions $2.50 per M. By having 
the crates returned these fillers and divisions 
would last the ordinary poultryman a couple 
of years at least.
