wish to tell John that Herbert Irish
has not the only smart hen in town, fol
it was only few months ago that one oil
my "biddies" laid an egg Tor two eggs
identical with that laid by Mr.. Irish't
hen. 1t was not quite so large, perhaps
but nearly so. and both eggs were per
feet in form and both hard-shelled; but
the inner egg was nearly all albumen
the yolk being very small. also wish
to say that his article on Ignorance voic.
ed my own sentiments so exactly that
have added it to my scrap-book. "Edu
Gated Ignorance" is hard thing to &c,
along with wherever you meet it, and
there is plenty of it in the world. Also

poetry that he occasionally sends to the
Democrat. They seem to lift ones
mind to a higher plane.
