And I’ve seen some that a a are filthy sights, some that look like they are filled ■ ■ with soup, probably the water hadn’t been changed ■ a for a week, and then we expect people to eat more q ■ eggs. Actually, it takes only a few minutes each day ■ 5 to scrub the washer and change the water when you’re a ■ finished with it. That is one chore that is never left ■ 5 undone on our farm.
