may, in a measure, establish the wage
rate in the agricultural sections of the
west.
The high price of eggs this winter
has brought an old scheme to the sur
face. A few days ago a man in St.
Paul submitted some eggs to the state
dairy and food commission to learn il
they we're fresh. A chemical ANALYSIS
showed them to be spurious. The
weight, size, color, and general ap-
pearance we're exactly like real egg,
and the shell, when cracked, looked
and felt like the genuine article, and
even revealed the thin film on the
outside of the white of the egg.
