THOSE EGG EATERS.

The hen is not naturally depfavad
like men Vice comes to her by ac1i-
dent, as when her owner by careless
ness makes her break eggs and she
eats them.
Must she jump down into her nest?
Is it too small? Are eggs allowed to
accumulate? Is the nest public so
hens travel over it?
Then of course eggs break and hens
partake
Hens at times lay very thin shelled
eggs because Of lack of lime or drop
soft shelled eggs or just the yolk and
white because of egg stmulants, too
forcing feed or because Of injury or
sickness, and these are often eaten
Meat or protein products are often
not fed. so he hen just eats fresh eggs
instead
II is not natural for hens to eat eggs,
as with crows and blucjays.
They seem sacred to both sexes.
Now, when you find that telltale yell

Prevention is better than the ak

II hens are fed properly, have a
good sized secluded nest that they
may step into from the side, they sell
dom break an egg.
Place some china eggs on the floor
and in the nests. Take those hens that
persist in pecking at them and file the
point OF their beak down to the bleed
ing point Then watch your hen.
She Will peck that egg once or twice

Agnes ReppIier
The most original of all these sug-

economics In the Wharton School of
Finance at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, who holds that food is dear be-
cause women buy it and women have
no basis for estimating the value of
what they spend" Money to a man
represents so many hours or days OF
labor Money TO woman stands for
no economic effort The price Of all
commodities is unreasonably dear be-
cause OF the "eXtravagant willingness
of women to pay for them
