Small, Medium Eggs
What size eggs should you
buy ? Catherine Love, extension
consumer education specialist of
the Pennsylvania State Univer
sity, offers this tip. When large
eggs sell for a third more than
small eggs, small ones are the
better buy.
All eggs, regardless of size, are
graded by the same set of stand
ards. Therefore, any size egg you
buy—of the same grade—will be
ol equal quality
It pays to be a_ chaosy egg
buyer. Buy only those eggs that
have been kept under lefngera
tion and piotected from strong
food odors When you get the
eggs home, store them large end
up in a covered container in the
refrigerator. Heat even room
temperature—lowers the quality
of eggs in a short time.

OLIVER No. 241
Works An
Watch it pulverize the hardest ground, smooth your
roughest field into a mellow, level seedbed. See it
roll over rocks and stumps with ease.
A semiflexible frame and spring-cushioned gangs
permit the No. 241 to climb over a stone like a cater
pillar. No damage to blades or other parts. Your
tractor doesn’t have to hoist and drag it across an
obstruction. Yet, it’s rigid enough, strong enough,
heavy enough to cut the toughest surface.
Buy an all-purpose Oliver and you’ll have full angle
cutting, thorough shredding of trash, accurate depth
control in any soil. You’ll cross water-
ways, travel to and from fields easier.
You’ll get prelubricated, sealed-for
life disc and wheel bearings. Built
in four sizes— to 13 feet.
