If they are only slightly stained, use a cloth moistened in vinegar; if they are badly soiled, use scouring soap or similar substance. Do not soak the eggs in water, as the liquid will pass into the interior of the egg, carrying undesirable flavors. Washed eggs will not keep so well as clean, unwashed eggs, therefore it is better to keep the washed ones for home con- sumption and use them while they are fresh. The market eggs should be kept in a cool place and sold at intervals of not more than one week. These eggs should be carefully sorted and packed. To grade the eggs, make two groups according to size. The first group should contain eggs each .weighing two ounces or more, that is, one and one-half pounds or more per dozen. The second group should contain eggs weighing less than two ounces each. The grading will be easier if you weigh a few eggs of two ounces each and use them as samples. Practice will enable you to select the eggs of various grades without weighing them. From each group of eggs take out those having approximately the same color (either uniform white or uniform brown), and a uniform shape and size. After all the eggs of small size, poor color, and abnormal shape have been
