Exeter Woman Induces
Chickens to Lay Yolk-
less Eggs.

EXETER. Pa, March 3.-Mrs. Mabel
Jorss says that the idea of producing
chickens that would lay yolkless. eggs
occurred TO her one Saturday afternoon
while she was making a cocoanut layer
cake.
She was compelled to use several ex-
ira eggs for beating up the icing, and
found the yOlks were virtually wasted.
Being OF a practical turn OF mind, she
sat right down and figured it out thac
there is a clean loss OF S1.645. Is an
nuaHy in the United States duo to vast
ed yOlks.
Consulting a chemist. she learned that
the chief element in the. yolk was sui
phur. Hence she made the very reason
able deduction that II hens were fed on
products that were deficient in sulphur
and nigh in albumen yolkless eggs
would result
There were many iscouragements be-
fore success was attained The first
hcck of chickens upon which the new
food was tried died early. Other hens
refused absolutely 10 lay.
Mrs. Jorss persisted, and only a few
weeks ago was rewarded by collecting
half a dozen eggs which were almost
entirely lacking in yolks-
one Of these will go as far as two
ordinary eggs in making icing, and
there is not the danger OF having part
Of a yolk fan into a dish in separating
eggs.

STEELTON. Pa. March 3.-S. c. Bah
bic, breeder OF fancy poultry, has placed
on the market eggs with cast steel
shells. a scarcity OF grit and oyster
shell, upon which hens ordinarily de-
pend for shell material, forced the local
faIcier TO experiment with the waste
material from the steel mills
Large deposits of this material are
TO be found along the Susquehanna
river. It contains large quantities OF
lime and particles of steel all OF which
the hens take great delight in using
for constructing the outer works Of the
eggs.
The steel shell is Of the highest car
bon quality and does not mako the egg

chick is able to eXtricate Itself from the
shell without much difficulty.

the wage scales in other districts are
10 be based. The conference is sched-
ulcd to begin this afternoon.
The scale in effect in the central
competitive district is used as a basis
for the scales in various other parts
of the country and it was owing to the
termination of this agreement without
the renewal of another contract that
caused the miners TO walk out. Con-
ferences previous to April /. the time
the contract expired. resulted in no
agreement, and it was then stated
that no further confCrehces would be
held.
This resulted in a general strike Of
miners, but in a few districts the min
erS remained at work under the old
scale, pending the outcome of the
tory agreement on which wages could
be based. The action of the operators
in consenting to another conference is
