THE THREE-OUNCE EGG.
the Hen Ward aud should lie
Made the Standard

Every observant person knows how
widely eggs differ in size, shape ana
color; every experienced poultryman
knows how much these qualities are
dependent on the breed, food and age
of the hen. For instance, the Minorca
and Mediterranean breeds have a rcpu.
tation for producing very large eggs,
while most people consider the eggs
of the Wyandotte small. II may be
observed, however. that the eggs Of
this last breed are not really so small
as they appear, being much more near
ly spherical in shape than those OF 9th.
er breeds, but of practically the same
content.
People generally judge eggs by
personal standard which varies wide
ly according to the experience az the
individual. In some countries abso.
lutte justice is melted out to both pro
Queer and consumer by selling eggs
by weight For scientific purposes
this is about the only way they can
he compared successfully The posi-.
bility for the weight Of the hens eggs
varies approximately from one 60

half being classed rs curiositics by
most people and those under two he

Of some poultry funciers 10 make the
three-ouncc egg the standard for all
breeds except the very smallest, and
to breed and feed with the ItiHiu-
ment of this standard weight in view,
Other breeders say that, as larger
eggs bring no better price, it is folly
To try to produce them.
In answer TO this last point, il may
be said that customers are generally
pleased with eggs according to THEN
size and freshness. and that il is diff.

The above were the first words uf an

though il is not often | give any at.
teption To an advertisement. Why be
a farmer? Because it is one Of the
rrandest and most honorable callings
Of life: because it is n calling that does
not require the little tricks Of trade
to be successful; because the farmer
is the one person in all the world that
is independent of the rest Of the world
The farmer can live independently Of
others, but it would be impossible for
Others to live without the farmer
