But that is only a minor point in the adoption
of national food by Uncle Sam. With
each year the production of the hens of the coun-
try is becoming smaller in proportion to the de-
mand for eggs As consequence the experts
declare that each succeeding year will see the

those which appear often holdovers from the
year previous, but those bring prices rang

The time is remembered by many when the
best eggs brought 2 cents dozen in retail
stores, and the Wholesale price below that.
So steep has the conventional cost become that

land to the raising of fowls.
The industry has already become mighty

In the large cities. Chicago, for instance the
nigh price of meat compelled the poorer classes
TO adopt the egg means of obtaining noursh-

the price. but still the middle and upper classes
cling TO the fowl product. foul or fair.
In the great marts of trade the egg industry is
perhaps the most interesting of all. One great
cold storage warehouse in Chicago during the
last egg famine. unloaded the market close
to 100000. and every one was sold to the local
retail merchants. The eggs were said to have

 Great Improvements are being made lat the Louisville Park: The grand stands have been extended eighty feet on either side, reserve boxes have been placed on the roof, the bleachers have also been extended considerably. part of them have been made new, and there is now a seating capacity in the stands of easily 10000 people.
