BAD NEWS FOR The HENS.
EGGS WILL SOON BE MANUFAC-
ITURED BY MILLIONS.

decent
). That it is the way it is proposed
turn them out presently.
AS already stated in the New
patents have been granted to Jam,
E Storey, of Kansas City for the mar
ufacture of eggs.
All the necessary machinery, whic
, is not worth more than $500 at tn
, outside; is in readiness to begin thi
overwhelming competition with th
American hen. If as much success
attends the new venture as is antic
ipated by Mr.. Storey, the contes
between the machine and hen for gu
premaoy in the egg producing bus
mess will be short, with the victor,
to the credit OF the former. Mr..
Storrey's process is very simple. anC
yet he is prepared to manufacture al
egg that connoisseur will find i
difficult to distinguish either in ap'
pearance or taste from the prim,
product of Plymouth Rock or Leg
horn.
Lime, water, blood, tallow, milk peas
and one or two other vegetables are
the ingredients OF his compound. The
shell and the yelk will not be difficult
OF manufacture. To make a good
imitation of the "white" of the EGG
is the part that has required the most
ingenuity to conquer, but Mr.. Storey
has succeeded in solving the probIem
successfully. The yolk of an egg i,
comprised Of 30 per cent. of yellow,fat,
II per cent. OF caseine, about 8 per.
cent. albnmen and water. The fat ID
common animal fat, and beet fat,
which is very cheap, will be the chief
ingredient. 70 this liberal amount
of caseine, which is that portion of the
milk which produces butter and
cheese, will be added anu albumen
mainly from beef blood, together
with water, will be mixed in small
quantities. The color, already vel.
low, will be treated with a chemical
which will serve double purpose of
deepening the color and preserving
the mixture in a semiliquid state une
til it is cooked.
The white of the egg is about one
eight pure albumen, and is difficult
substance to produce chemically. A
substance that appears to the eye
exactly similar, and which hardens
and whitens when cooked, has been
produced by a mixture OF legunin, or
Vegetable albumen, extracted from
common peas, little albumen from
beef blood, tribe of sulphur consid
cradle gelatin, and a chemical solu.
ton to prevent decomposition, and
which also whitens the whole bulk
when subjected to heat, just as the
egg becomes white when boiled.
AS beef blood will be utilized in
very large quantities in the big egg
mill, few special cars will be fitted
up with TANKS to bring the blood from
the Chicago slaughter houses.
The shell will be perfectly imitat-
ed by simple solution OF lime, water
and glue. The machinery that is re-
quired is needed mainly in putting
the egg together. Every yOlk will be
first run into a mold to be properly
shaped, and then dumped into a secs
ond mold, where the right quantity
of the white is placed previously. -
This latter substance, being gelatine.
ike matter, will incase the yelk very
readily. BY unique machine the
meat is there enveloped il the she'll.
The shell is only partially hardened
when the egg is put into it, and as
there is a liberal amount of glue ad-
ded to the lime, the edges of the shell
soon adhere toeach other very tightly
leaving no traceable mark where they
were joined. In order to make th,
imitation more completely successful
molds of several sizes will he introduc
