THE HENYARD 
Parcel Post and Eggs 
My experience has been somewhat 
similar to E. W.’s with the addition that 
in three instances I have had egg orates 
opened and contents stolen. In the last 
ease, only a week ago, the eggs and the 
crate never were received. In one of 
the former instances a crate left our post 
office on train No. 18, leaving at 5:30 
p. m. and the eggs were stolen and ad¬ 
dress card reversed, bringing the crate 
back to me the next day on train No. 
20, arriving at 6:30 a. in. The post of¬ 
fice officials looked this up and found 
that No. 18 and 20 trains were handled 
by the same crew, and the detection of 
the thief should have been a simple mat¬ 
ter of observing this crew—yet nothing 
was done further. 
My crates last somewhat longer than 
E. W.’s, but I’m handy with tools and 
I spend my spare time pounding them 
back into a usable condition. When you 
can use metal crates and talk with the 
postmaster about the damage he tells you 
to try wooden ones and does not- care 
about the fact that the metal containers 
are approved by the Post Office Depart¬ 
ment, and should receive as careful treat¬ 
ment as they accord to a shipment of 
sash weights at least. 
The R. N.-Y. could do no greater ser¬ 
vice to the large number of its patrons, 
who use the mails to send their produce 
to a market where they get a fair price, 
than to call for volunteers from these 
folks and get after someone in authority 
who will make some attempt to enforce a 
rule of “Handle eggs carefully and use 
a little more headway and with a little 
less main strength and ignorance.” I am 
wondering how many others would keep 
on suffering this injustice in silence if 
E. W. had not started something. 
New York. M. v. bryant. 
While reading “The Post Office and 
the Farmer” by E. W.. Pennsylvania, I 
cannot refrain from relating my experi¬ 
ence covering a period of 15 years ship¬ 
ping eggs. Back in the period before 
the w T ar I used parcel post shipping 
boxes and often had a complete smash 
of the entire dozen or two. Again they 
went through very well. After a little 
I decided to try over-handle baskets, so 
I secured those plenty large and lined 
them with excelsior bats and made one 
to put on top beneath a cardboard cover 
which I tie securely on, and place “hatch¬ 
ing egg” labels in big letters, both on 
side and top. Each egg I wrap in a little 
excelsior and more paper. With this 
treatment of the packing I am very glad 
to report that in the past six years ship¬ 
ping a thousand or more dozens, I have 
had only six shipments complained about, 
and these had only one egg cracked in 
each basket. I secured the payment 
from Post Office Department for these, 
as I always insure each basket. The 
report of fertility of my turkey eggs is 
so good shipped this way, I would dis¬ 
like to change for express again. 
Tioga Co., N. Y. flona horning. 
On page 1517 I read the article “The 
Post Office and the Farmer” by E. W., 
Pennsylvania. I have shipped eggs to 
New York for quite a few years, and 
have used all kinds of containers and 
methods of packing, all of which are ap¬ 
proved by the Post Office Department. 
There is only one container that has 
ever proved satisfactory. I have some 
now that have made the trip down and 
back for over two years, and are still 
traveling. I am 150 miles from New 
York, and my eggs are handled eight 
times before they meet the main line of 
the railroad from my post office. If 
E. W. has containers that cannot stand 
the racket let him for his own business 
interest find one on the market that will, 
and he will remove his grudge against the 
Post Office Department. I take it he 
uses metal cases (which proved very un¬ 
satisfactory to me) as he says, “It was 
fit for the junkman.” I am a post office 
employe, and a package that has sharp, 
’lard corners is not easily handled and 
gets harder usage. I have seen lots of 
metal cases go through our office both 
coming and going, and each time they 
show the effects of handling. They can¬ 
not stand repeated use. Eight out of 
ten complaints at our office are from the 
users of metal cases, the rest from card¬ 
board containers. My advice to E. W. 
is: Get a wooden container the fillers of 
which are cushioned. They will stand 
up under any load that is put on top of 
it. See that all marks of previous mail¬ 
ing are removed, and do not be afraid 
to use good stout cord. Paper-shelled 
eggs should never be sent or any cracked 
ones. 
I believe if E. W. will follow these in¬ 
structions he will be able to secure the 
city prices for fresh eggs and everybody 
will be satisfied. Use a case that will 
stand the usage. d. f. m. 
New York. 
The party was in progress. One of 
those outspoken brethren met his friend 
and, gesturing toward a certain lady, 
asked: “Who’s that frump over there?” 
The interrogated got his worst frown 
ready and said : “That’s my wife.” The 
gay questioner was ready : "Zatso? You 
ought to see mine.”—Credit Lost.
