Plans for Making Better Crates for

The specialists in the food research
laboratory have made a study of meth
ods for packing and shipping eggs in
order to reduce the great losses from
breakage that have occurred in the
past. This work has been done in all
parts of the country in co-operation
with railroads and with egg shippers. ■»

Experimental shipments In different

different methods of packing the eggs
In the cases have been made and the
results compared. An instrument has
been devised for measuring und re
cording the shocks to which cars con
taining eggs were subjected while In
transit.
As a result of these experiments the
specialists have recommended methods
o f packing eggs w hich reduce breakage
to a minimum. These methods have
been tried under a great variety of
conditions, and have been incorporated
as requirements In the railroad and ex
press classifications fu/ the transpor
tation of eggs.
Nails in place save claims, it Is terse
ly said; and, as shown in figure 1,
the number and arrangement of these
necessary in order to conform with
the requirements of the express and
consolidated freight classifications are
as follows:
Threepenny nails, cement coated, with
j large heads.
IS nails (or each side, 6 for each end.
6 In center.
21 nails for bottom, T tn each end, T In
center.
I nails for top, 4 In each end. for flush
cleat.
4 nails for top, I In each end, for drop
cleat.
Egg packers are advised to be sure
that they use the correct number of
nails.
When 6 paper-covered excelsior mats
a.e used, flats should not be placed be
tween the mats and the fillers. When
cvpped trays made of compressed pulp
aie employed, it is best to begin by
placing one 25-cup filler, receiving side
d< wnward, on the bottom of the case.
Then place one lti-cup filler, receiving
side upward on top, nesting It. Fill
the cups with eggs and cover with one
HVcup filler. Then place one 25-cup
filler, receiving side upward; fill cups
with eggs and cover with a 25-cup
filler.
Improper packing invites breakage,
and figure 5 Illustrates a poorly packed
case. Sometimes an extremely thin
layer of excelsior, many times a small
amount of loose paper, or perhaps
nothing at all is placed on the top and
bottom, leaving the case loosely packed
and the chances for breakage and loss
are great. Very frequently such poor
ly packed cases have broken and
stained fillers and flats, and such a
combination greatly Increases the prob
ability of damage.

Fresh filling for nest boxe* every
month is none too often.
