Speaking of Hen Fruit.

and the cheap, artificially colored
fruit of the helpful hen will probably
be placed under the ban of the pure
food law. A local scientist is respon-
sible for the discovery that hens may
be induced to LAZY colored eggs by
the application of the proper men
tai influence. This lemarkable re-
suit was brought about by the use
of red electric light bulb, shaped
like an egg and placed in the nest.
Up to date only red eggs have been
produced, but it is believed that
eggs of any and all colors will fol-
low the use of bugs OF different
tints. The discoverer of the plan
holds that the result is due to hyp-
notism or psychic suggestion acting
on the mind of the hen. The rabbit,
which is popularly supposed to be
responsible for Easter eggs, will
be put out of business, as will the
manufacturers of egg dyes.
Curator Ditmars. of the Bronx
Zoo, processes to DC greatly inter
ested in the new discovery. "In the
past" he said, the only way to in
duce hen to lay a colored egg was
to feed her on dye stuffs, and this,
while resulting in a product equal
to the best egg ever turned out by
Iii ha
hen. The use OF suggestion or hyp-
notism is much more humane, as
well as more profitable to the owner
of the hennery. 1t may be possible
to develop the idea so that we may
place an illuminated electric calen-
dar in front of hen and thus have
the day, month and year of the lay
ing of the egg reproduced on the
shell. OF course, unscrupulous poul'
try raisers could advance the date
several months and then, by placing
the eggs in cold storage, sell them
in winter when prices are high.
