GROI'N Nd OYSTER SHELLS.


\ ton Il month to sydney, Australia :
large shipments to Adelaide ON the same
continent-such i part of the CONNER
cal true story concerning the foreign
trade won by Il gentleman of this city with
his Imperial Egg Food. America is Ger
tainly making long strides toward occu-
patton of the foreign field when Hartford
does so much in one small bU' .iupurtant
industry. The egg food has been on the
market for several years, and has stood all
tests. 1t is made upon scientific meth
od, and having been patented can not be
equalled by any other manufacturer. The
home market is a large consumer. Amer
lean farmers know it means large egg
supply, and large egg supply means n
full purse most of the year. Twenty tons
or more are sent yearly to San Francisco ::
orders are filled from western States, and
Bermuda and the Sandwich islands have
been supplied. The business has been
doubled since last year. and the prospects
for the coming months are excellent. Yes
terday ton was sent to Sydney to-day a
large consignment was shipped to Ade-
laide.
In connection with this food supply for
poultry the gentleman has developed a
new industry for lIartford-the crushing
by machinery of oyster shells. Chickens
eat this readil y-almOst rs readily as corn
and it is 50 very cheap that counting the
labor and the scarcity of the shell, domes-
tic manufacture is rendered Improbable.
even when possible. The market here
abouts is supplied 10y him, and he makes
shipments into the adjoining states and
aS far west as Wisconsin. The factory is
full of oyster shells, which have IL VARYING
value, so much so that he guards against
famine or an eNorbltant price by storing
up supply in fat months An efficient
engine on the first floor furnishes the mo-
tive power. The grinding mill is in the
third story. 1t has IA capacity of five tons
IA day. BY an ingenious arrangement
sleeves are kept at work asserting the dust
into fine, coarse, and the insuflicently
treated. The fine and the coarse are tax

where through canvas chuteS, regulated
by wooden slides, barrels are rapidly fill
ed. The insutliciently treated is ground
again. There is an air of business about
the entire establishment: orders are
promptly filled, even when they come in
the greatest number, because the details
are scientifically arranged From the
minute the engine is started and the first
| hopperful of shells is in position, to the
hour the barreled and labeled product is

His wife also contributed to this result.

of explosives had a comedy young wife

speeches wherein he expounded how
every man might become his ownprofes-
sor and how hundred young men could
