idea recently and it says:
Sooner or later the custom of SELL
ing eggs by the pound instead of by
the dozen is bound to become gem
eral. 1t is in force now in a good

sizes of eggs differ very much, and

AS he is nothing more than a good

him. The hog has no more sentiment
than a hen, but he will think or
