he represents.

For the first time in the history of De-
Lamar eggs have reached the low price
of two bis per dozen. On the same day
the price was cut down dispatch from
Pittsburgh announced that Phlladel-
phia genius was there contracting for
machinery with which to manufacture
eggs. He says he can make eggs that
when either boiled, poached, fried,
scrambled or made into omeletes cannot
be told from the real product of the hen.
The only cinch a real hen has on him is
that his eggs wont work in an incubator
and the business of supplying spring
chickens will still BE- left for an occupa-
ton for the biddy. The oleomargarine
fellows have run n bogus butter to
try and ruin the occupation of the COW !;
the franchise of the busy bee has been
encroached upon until one taking honey
from the finest looking comb is not GER
tain that he is getting the genuine. and
now the hen is not to be left with
ground to scratch on. Also, the time has
bsen when We could make a meal OF
eggs boiled in their nnbroken shells and
spuds cooked with their jackets on, and
be confident that a heather Chinee
cook had not mixed any dirt with our
break fast, but now we will have to lose
our confidence in the eggs.
