where the had Eggs Go.

A poultry farm, whether ducks,
geese, chickens or turkeys be the spe-
cialty, accumulates a large and malo-
dorous surplus of eggs that refuse to
develop into fowl. The average person
would suppose that If there is any
thing on earth that is utterly worth
less it is rotten egg. Millions of
stale eggs are used every year in pre-
pairing leather dressing for gloves and
bookbinding-an industry that is
largely carried on in the foreign tene-
ment houses of New York and other
large cities. They are also used in
manufacturing disinfectants and in the
preparation of shoe backing, and even
the shells are made into fertilizers.
The eggs that have not yet lost their
virtue also have other uses besides the
more common ones for culinary pur-
poses. 1t is estimated that fully 55,-
100000 dozen are used by wine clari-
fiers, dye manufacturers and in the
preparation of photographers dry
plates.-Brooklyn Eagle.
