Missouri Poultry.

Poultrymen's figures show that
during the last year the hens of
Missouri have laid, In round num-
bers, 15O,O0O,0O0 dozen of eggs.
Now get out your pencil and keep
tab.
These aren't bakers dozens, but
just the common dozens-twelve
These 150.OOO.000 dozen, then, give
us 1900, 100000 separate and dis
tinct eggs-average eggs. not count
ing the dwarfs or the giants.
Well, any self-respecting, average
egg weighs two ounces. That means
eight to the pound, doesn't It? And
that means that the whole crop will
weigh in at 225, 100000 pounds. or
112.50O tons,
oh, don't begin TO exclalm jus;
yet. That's only the beginning.
Allowing Ave eggs TO the foot
when they are set end to end. these
500, 100000 would form a string
800. 100000 feet long, or 6S,132
miles-long enough TO stretch across
the continent twenty times, from
Baltimore to San Francisco; or long
enough to reach more than 31A
times around the world. That's an
easy one.
Now. then: Suppose that this
mass were Just one egg, weighing
l112.5O0 tons-how big an egg would
It be? Why. II would have a meas
urement of 2.7OO.OO0. 900 cubic
inches. or 1859. 500 cubic feet.
Put this into one eggshell and the
shell would measure 200 feet In
length by 1875 through the small
way. Set It on end alongside almost
any one OF the ST. Louis skyserapers,
and It wouldn't appear to be out OF
its class.
Now, suppose that we've found a
way TO set" this monster egg. And
suppose that II matches, and that the
chick lives and thrives and grows
to maturity. II Its weight were In
proportion to the weight OF the
average bird hatched from an every
day egg, II would weigh 14.400. .0OO.-
900 pounds, or 100000 tons.
/ Now, what II this bird should turn
aut TO be a rooster of Shanghai ten
deneies.. growing 10 legs instead OF
putting on flesh. Then, full grown,
he would stand 1900, 100000 feet
or 340,010 miles high. Standing on
the solid earth. his head would over
top the moon by Just an even 100000
miles. How far could you hear him
crow?
Or let's suppose II 10 have turned
out hen, and that the hen behaves
as good Biddy ought. and "lays
eggs for gentlemen" II her eggs
bore the usual proportion to her own
weight. they would tip the scales al
,225, 100000 pounds each. And II
she were an industrious hen, layini
the poultTyman's standard OF zoe
eggs a year, then the years croI
from this one bird would weigh as.
900, 100000 pounds, or 22,5O0,OO'
tons.
And then IL each of these egg
were TO be hatched as a thrifty chick
and each chick should take after IL
mamma In point of growth. then a
the years end we'd have 1.440.000,
900 tors OF poultry-17 tons 70
every man. woman and child in tn
whole country. At ten cents a poun'
this stoci would be worth s22s.0oo;
OOO.0 900 Of any mans money.

Humboldt Smelter Merely Partially Closed For
 Repairs
General Manager 0xnam Tells of Cause For
 Shut Down
(Trom Tueoday's Daiiy.)

The rumors that have been in cir. culation the past several days to the effect that the plant of the Consoli. dated Arizona Smelling company, at Humboldt, was to be closed down, the laying off of number of men having given some color to such talk, seem 10 have been without foundation.
 To n representative of the Journal. Miner, T. II. Oxnam, vice president and general manager of the plant, stated that one of the rcverberatory furnaces had been closed down for the purpose of removing from it the accum. ulation of matte, known in shelter par. lance as "thc pig" which occasioncd the temporary dismissal of number of employees.
 The convertors and blast furnaces have been kept in operation, and the purchase of ore mas not ceased. Mir. Oxnam stated ore would be purchased right along, and last night he said that within the past twcnty-four hours he had received instructions from New York to rush the work now under way as fast as possible, it being the intcn. tion to resume full operations as soon ns possible.
 "'lt will take four or five wccks,' said Mir. Oxnam, Cor possibly six weeks, 10 complete the work and changes now under way. As soon as this is accomplished it is the intention 10 resume operations at full blast. We are now cleaning out the bottom of one of the furnaces and we naturally wished to curtail expenses as much as possible while this enforced shutdown was in effect, hence We laid off as many men as we could spare.
 "Therc is no intention, so far as I know, of closing the plant" he con. cluded.

Believe Adjustment Of Prices Will Soon
 Occur
Large Buying Movement Is Predicted
 Also
(From Tueaday's Daily.)

There was no change last week in the outward appearance of tho socallcd deadlock in the copper market but tacre arc good indications that an adjust. ment of prices will soon be arrived at that will be satisfactory to all con. ccrncd. At the moment it Is not pos. siblc to forecast exactly what the new schedule of prices will be, but it will probably be on basis near 20 cents, and at all events not below IS cents per pound for elcctrolytic copper. The feeling among the producers this week is better than it has been for a long time. The consensus of opinion seems to be that the new basis of prices will be established probably within the next two weeks, and that large buy. ing movement in copper will make an appearance with it. The producers also state that when tho new basis of prices is settled it will be maintained for some time to come.
 Putting the price of copper on n stable basis for n stated period should have the effect of inspiring degree of confidence in all branches of the trade, and if IS believed that it will release large demand for finished goods which has been delayed on nc. count of the unsettled conditions in the metal market for several weeks.
 Some of the largest consumers of copper have used up nearly all of their surplus stocks of the metal, and they nrc now prepared to negotiate for their requirements over the end of the year. The consumers are anxious to see more settled conditions in tho metal market, as the tactics of certain speculative interests in quoting fcti' tious prices of copper, together with the tense financial conditions existing in the money ccntcrs, would, if con. tinued much further, bring about total dcmoralization in the trade.
 '"'' |" '"i'h'' "hluS'W'Ht oI pTi''- in copper is pending, the leading pro. duccrs are maintaining their prices nominally at 22 cents for lake and 2lN to 22 cents per pound for clcctrolytic copper.
 Consumers who have been in the market during the past two weeks state thta they have been unable to obtain round lots of good brands of elctro lytic copper at less than 22 cents, and that they have paid that price for it. Some small scattered lots of an in ferior grade of clectrolytic have been offered under 10 cents n pound by cer. tain speculative interests. It is be lievcd that these offerings are mad, for the effect of giving scmblanco Of reality to the quotations published by tho New York Metal Exchange Consumers who have tested the mar ket state that they cannot get coppe, from any source on the Metal Exchang. quotations. Many of the members of the New York Metal Exchange state that the quotations on copper sent ou, from that institution are fictitious ana that their publication should be dis continued.
