HENS AND THEIR EGGS.
A Dealer, Wise in Their Ways,
Tells of Their Freaks and
IdiosyncrasieS.
FROM the Sew York SUI.

From the New York Sua.
There is a lot about hens and
their eggs that people don suspect,
said dealer in eggs and poultry
For instance, here is an egg that
would he a rooster il it were Matched.
And here is one that would develop
a hen.
How do know? | learned it by
long experience with eggs and their
habits. The small end ola hens egg
will b. smooth as marble or wrinkled
like nutmeg. Some people won't
buy eggs that are wrinkled. because
wrinkles, they say, are a sure sign OF
age. That is true, but not when ap.
piled to eggs.
"A hens egg with a wrinkled small
end simply indicates that IL holds a
rooster. A hen is always enclosed
within the egg with a smooth end
But both eggs taste alik. Each has
its proper share OF phosphate. olein.
albumen, sulphur, casein and mar.
garine.
There is water, toe, plenty in
fresh laid egg, but no more air than
there is in a hammer. As long as
you can keep air out OF your egg il
will remain sweet and fresh; but no.

more than six days without subject
ing it to artificial treatment, OH.
erwise oxygen is bound TO find it way
through the egg shells pores, and the
only way to save that egg is toeatit
at sounds funny, but the instant
you give your egg fresh air you ruin
its health.
"AsIO hens themselves, there ia no

show themselves capable of in Ia, ing

sort OF consistency is there in a hen

why should IA hen you can Almost

that will weigh quarter Of pound
Or so she il not doing her duty to

"And who may account for the
purpose that seems to actuate hens

another egg from which no chick
pecked its way l found a dead one
with neither legs nor eyes. That OK

chick came out with, plainly enough
belonged to the dead one.
"Now, by what sleight.Of.hatch
