and gives sympathetic tone to the
ham and bacon market, as ham or
bacon and eggs travel together or
in omelette form as breakfast
food. The extent of the spring
competation of eggs with fresh
meats may be gagged by the fact
that from about the middle of
March until Juno 10, there are
about 750,0O0,000 eggs. The eggs
