Factors Used in Formulating the Grades. IUggs may be only "fresh" or "otherwise" to most consumers, but to the egg trade in 18 countries, quality of shell eggs Is now more or less UBI· fQrmly expressed in terms of air cells, condition of shells, yolks, whites, and germs. Egg quality standards, according to the bureau of agriculture ecoooml~s. United States Department of Agricul· ture, are now recognized In 18 countries. Of 17 foreign countries, 15 maintain standards tn connection wlth sn export trade in eggs, and 2 coun· tries-Germany and the United King· dom-recogulze standards for the domestic trade only. There is considerable uniformity In the standards. Canadian egg standards were the first to be systematically formulated. United States standards were prepared later, and followed In essential respects the Canadian standards. Fo'l'eign countries in general have considered the same quality factors ln formulating egg grades, and bavt> ndopted practically the same methods of describing the various degrees of quality. In practically all of the standards, the specifications for tbe air cell deal with Its depth. Similarly, differences ln quality, as evidenced by the condition of the yolk, are indicated to terms of visibility of the yolk. Countries which bave established stand· ards of quality for shell eggs are: United States, Canada, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Estonia, Latvia, I~ithuanla, Finland, Netherlands, Belglum, Russia, Poland, Danzig, Rumania, Ireland.

Records kept by 246 farm flock owners In co-operation with the extension service of the college of agriculture. University of ntlnois have been summarized. The average profits of $1.61 a hen were paid by the one-third highest flocks In the group. In contrast, the one-third lowest flocks lost money nt the rate of 59 cents a hen, while the average for the entire group of 246 flocks was a profit of 64 cents a ben. OwoPrs of the one-third highest fiocks kept up their profits in the face of WOO conditions by taking advantage of low feed costs, getting more eggs and Increasing their effidency generally, It was explained by H. H. Alp, poultry extension specialist of the college. Hens to tbe one-third highest flocks laid an average of 135 eggs each during the year. while those in the one-third lowest flocks averaged only 111 eggs. The average egg yield for the 246 flocks was 126 eggs It hen. There was an average of 197 hens In the one-third highest flocil:s, 139 hens In the one-third lowest and 185 beos In the 246 flocks. Well Fed Flock Will Bring Profit to Owner In feeding your poultry !lock that ts expected to lay eggs this fall and winter when the price ls high remem· ber that true economy lies In pursuading them to eat as much as possible of the right kind of food. The more they eat the fp.stP>r they wtll grow and the more likely they will be to lay early and abundantly.

But its name Is much older than a century. At or near the point at which this modern structure spans the river there has been a crossing from time immemorial. The Saxons had a bridge there (or successive bridges) made of wood and barred by a fortified gate-a gate to thE" city. It was swept away by a storm. Then, In 1186, only a little more than a century after the Cooquerer had come, was commenced that stone structure which served river-crossing Londoners for nearly 650 years. Until the middle of the Eighteenth century It alone drew together the two banks of the Thames at London. In Its picturesqueness it vied with the Rialto of Venice and the Ponte Vacchio of Florence, which. In some part, it resembled. On each side of Its roadway it had shops and stately houses, some with gardens on their roofs. There was a Twelfthcentury chapel on wider pier at about the midclle. The structure, howeYer, was suited better to the ideals a-nd customs or the Middle agE"S than to modern notions about bridges. Within the 900 feet of the river's width it had 18 solid stone piE-rs varying from 25 to 34 feet in thickness, so that, in effect, it sent the waters of the Thames through a greatly narrowed channel. The piers supported b.ulld· lugs four stories in height. which in turn narrowed the passage for vehicles and pedestrians, and darkened Jt to almost tunnel blackness. The bulldl·ngs were cleared away In the middle of th~ Eighteenth century, but the obstruction to navigation still remained, and, In 1823, after In the city Is where a fire seldom bitter debate, It was decreed that a new bridge must be lfunt. Two destroys as much of the building as years later the duke of York laid you think it Is going to. the foundation stone ; and then, after six years more, the new structure, only a few yards higher up the river, wa.s opened with flags, music, oratory and parades. In the following year old London bridge went the way of the centuries. But London bl'idge Is still London bridge. It still divides the Thames Into "above" and "below'' and, though there are other bridges nowTower and Victoria, Waterloo and Westminster and the rest-it still carries Londonl!rs from one bank to Polytechnic CoUege of Engineering the other, just as Its predecessors 13th ud Madiooa Sb., Oaldud.
