ENeLANp,s VAST EGG HUNGER.
Not Fresh Eggs Enough to Satisfy 1t
Though Many Regions Contribute.

Raising eggs foI the English market
oilers great future to French farmers.
according to an article by @. Labadie-
Lagraye published in a recent number of
the Figaro. England consumes HOO
OoD,UOu eggs year. he says, and the
demand for real new laid eggs is far in
excess of the supply. This is where the
opportunity for France comes in, he
thinks.
The hens of England itself. after re
serves have been set aside for new crop
OF chickens, send 2,270,000000 eggs to
market every year. The balance of =. .
l30,000,OOa comes from abroad. II is i
notion or London dealers that they come
from Belgium and Holland. They don't.
Lagraye says, they come from almost
any other country, even Egypt, Morocco
and siberia. They are called Belgian be-
cause Belgium is so near they can pre-
tend to be fresh
As matter of fact. the African eggs
are not imported to be eaten, even by
the poor. They are chiefly sold 70
bookblnders, who use them, Lagrave
says. TO make the leather they use more
supple. But eggs from Italy and Hun
gary and vast quantities from Russia,
even from Siberia, are sold for eonsump-
ton as German or Swedish, and are
oousht at low prices by bakers and con-
tectloners who are not particular.
Inc hne west end bakeries in London
advertise that they use only English eggs
and they generally live up to their dec
laratlons. But for some classes of CON
Iectlonery the Spanish egg is in special
demand. 1t has a yolk ef deep orange
hue and when used in cakes gives them
a richness of color and flavor that can.
not be attained in any other way. They
are the product of the black Andalusian
hen and expeditions methods of shipment
are used to get them to London.
There are several retail purveyors in
London whose trade calls for at least
10000 fresh eggs a week The surplus
from the British memories when the rest
OF the country is provided for is totally
unequal to supply the demand. Sweden,
beng cold, is not n first rate egg produc-
ing country, and the steamer service to
England IS inadequate. Germany is a
great eating country and practically uses
uD ali she produces. America can send
inferior grades, but of course NOT newly
laid eggs Holland and Belgium produce
only few millions annually above their
own needs. Danish eggs are not popu-
lar in England because of their peculiarly
pale color.
Thus the consumptions of fresh eggs
IS actually restricted in England by the
present impossibility of supplying the
market. Lagrave therefore urges the
small French farmers within q couple of
hundred mics of the Channel ports to
go heavily into chicken raising with a
view to the production of eggs. He
urges them further to raise hens of black
or brilliant plumage so as to get eggs
with dark yellow shells and yolks, as
these sell in London at from s to 10
cents a dozen at wholesale in advance of
the pale varieties.

Contrary to the Last.

Speaking of 'contrariness, said the
man from Connecticut, probably the

heard of lived near my home at Had
dam. Not only did he carry his stub
born streak through all the things of

his own statement, to persist even fur
Their with it. just behind the little
house where he lived there was a stone
bluff. and the old man spent most of his
spare time quarrying out a big rectan-
gular hole in this mass of rock TO all
the questions of his inquisitive neigh
bors, he would make no replies until he
had completed the excavation to his sat
isfaction. Then, to the first person who
CHANGED to ask the purpose of the work,
the old man answered proudly:
We'll, I'll tell We. When ! die I'm
goin' to be buried in that hole. and all

RESULT GETTER.

The cheerful taffy giver
As he joys along the way
Is the one who gathers fayors
AS the farmer gathers hay.
He never in his travels
Is lacking for a friend:
he drops q bit of barney
And draws a dividend.
No matter where he wanders,
Results are just the same;
lie always finds victim
Who tumbles TO his game
And, whether male or female
And whether old or young,
They sip as 1t were nectar
The honey from his tongue.
There isn't any danger
OF making il too strong,
Because in that direction
lie never can go wrong
lie fnds no sort of trouble
Encountered ON that score.
The one who gets the package
Is always out for more.
There's nothing so effective,
There's nothing quite so strong,
AS loud and boisterous taffy
To help q game along.
1t cinches the receiver
If handed to him right
And makes the giyer solid
For anything in sight
