Manufacturing Eggs.


To know what ingredients are re-
quired we must examine the egg itself.
lit weighs ON an average ], 100 grains
and consists of three parts, shell, white
and yolk The shell weighing 100
grains, is mainly carbonate of lime.
The white weighing 600 grains, is one
of the purest forms of what we call al
bumen. The yOlk, weighing 400 grains,
consists of oil, albumen, phosphate Of
lime and traces of sulphur, iron, etc.
In fact, an egg contains everything es-
sental ITO the manufacture of a chick.
All the materials required for making
muscle, bone, feathers, etc., must be in
the egg, for in incubation, nothing is
added, and everyone who eats AN egg,
eaIts animal fOOd-eats an embryo
chick more nutritious, or at least more
easily assimilated food than so much
weight of beefsteak. OF course the
production of such rich food must
make heavy drafts on the hen, and no
mill can turn out "a rich grit unless
the hopper is kept well supplied.
These several ingredients in the egg
the hen gets from what she eats and
gets it from the organic matter she
eats. Grit in it's various forms she
uses to grind her food and not to build
up her body Or to make eggs out of.
The Oil, or fatty substance needed, lis
found in greatest proportion in seeds,
chiefly in corn. The albumen which
is a heterogeneous substance, lis found
also in grain to a limited extent, more
i'm wheat than in corn and in still
larger proportion in wheat bran and
linseed meal. The chief source of al
bumen in winter feed is clover hay,
milk and meat. The latter is furnished
etc. The shell ma terfal lis found in all
the grains, but principally in oats and
wheat bran. Tt lis contained also i'm
milk and i'm the grasses and clover. In
summer clover, green grass, vegeta-
bles, bugs, worms, seeds and the Guilt
waited grains furnish the egg factory
with needful grists to hens with free
range. In winter, much of this supply
is cut off and must be supplied by the
owner of the hem if he expects bust
ness to prosper.
Incidently it should be mentioned
that about ree+fourths of the con-
tents of an egg consist of waiter, and
suspended.-Farm Journal.

i'm GLASS CIRCLES.

The National Glass Company Eager
to Acquire the Central Plant, But
Local Stockholders are Dubious.
Something May Come of the West
wood Proposition.
The National Glass Company is after
the Central glass works again, it is
said, and unless the stockholders re-
frain from selling of their holdings ut
the rate offered by the combine, the
plant will be in It's hands before very
long.
1t has been learned that the National
has offered $50 for the stock and has
managed to buy up considerable of it at
that rate. so much in fact, that the
danger line is uncomfortably close. OF
the twelve hundred shares, 1t Is under
stood that the National has secured
over four hundred.
The National is composed OF table,
ware factories, and is DESTROYS Of se-
curing the Central along with the 9TH
ers in order to better be able to COM
pete with smaller concerns.
The plan to have a revival in the
glass industry on the South Side is by
no means dead, and at any time in the
near future 1t may be expected to take
on new life and be pushed to something
more definite than mere talk.
An Intelllgencer man yesterday talk
ed with a gentleman interested in the
project and learned from him that
while there was no movement of a de-
finite nature on foot at present, there
will likely be in a few weeks. Since
the downfall of the scheme to buy the
old Hobbs works from the United
States company there has been consid-
cradle figuring going on by the sub
stantial business men Of the South
Side, and the result is that the offer Of
Edward westwood to donate his
ground in the lower part of town for
the purpose Of erecting a plant, may
be taken up.
In speaking of 1t the gentleman In
question said: "The proposition to buy
the Hobbs plant was out of reason.
The figure was entirely too high and 1t
would require $4,000 to put the old
plant in condition again. For this rea-
son the westwood property would be
the more acceptable. 1t has good factl-
tiles for railroad switches and in many
other ways is admirably adapted to
the purpose.
