HENS WILL COLOR THE
EGGS;;H0W, yOUA ASK?
UNIQUE DISCOVERY MADE BY
NEW YORK SCIENTIST.
RED ELECTRIC LIGHT BULBS
Easter Article Is to Be Given Bright
Surface BY Natural Means;
No More Dyes.
ISpeciaI 10 The Erce Press. /

New York April 12.-Not this
year, perhaps, but soon, Easter eggs
will be naturally colored 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 responsible for
the discovery that hens may be in
duced to lay cOlOred eggs by the
application of the proper mental in
fuence. This remarkable result was
brought about by the use of red
electric lightbulb, shaped like an
egg and placed in the nest. Up to
date only red eggs have been pro-
duced, but it is believed that eggs
of any and all colors will follow the
use of bulbs of different tints. The
discoverer of the plan holds that the
result is due to hypnotism or psychic
suggestion acting on the mind of the
hen. The rabbit, which is popularity
supposed to be responsible for Easter
eggs, will be put out of business, as
will the manufacturers Of egg dyes.
professor is interested.
Curator Ditmars of the Bronx Zoo
processes to be greatly interested in
the new discovery. '1n the past" he
said, "the only way to induce hen
to lay a colored egg was to feed her
on dye stuffs, and this, while result
ing in a product equal to the best
egg ever turned out by an Easter
rabbit, usually killed the hen. The
use of suggestion or hypnotism is
much more humane, as well as more
profitable to the owner of the hen
merry. 1t may be possible to develop
the idea so that we may place an
Illuminated electric calendar in front
of a hen and thus have the day,
month and year of the laying of the
egg reproduced on the shell. Of
course, unscrupulous poultry raisers
could advance the date several
months and then, by placing the eggs
in cold storage, sell them in winter
when prices are high.
The Egg-Laying Record.
Continuing on the subject Of eggs,
apropos because of the proximity of
Easter, Mr.. W. Otter of the neigh
boring village of Stamford, claims
the worlds egg-laying record for his
bunch of thirty-twO pullets. Last
month, he declares, they laid 676
eggs, an average of 21.12 eggs per
hen for the month. This beats the
record recently made by Henry
Johnson, a Long Island poultryman,
whose hens averaged 20.43 eggs per
month. A hearing will be held this,
week in the matter of the ten tons
of frozen eggs seized in Jersey City
some time ago. The condemnation
brought by the government failed,
but the United States authorities are
still fighting against the release OF
the cOngealed hen fruit.

NJ O'Brien has arrived from st.
Paul and taken up his work on the
Eagle Lake road He has taken an
old planer that George M. Palmer
has had for use on roads and is re-
building it, and making it lighter.
This rainy weather will be just the
thing to make the new gravel pack,
for everybody will drive over it in
preference to the soft mud, and Mr..
O'Brien will keep the road up in
shape.
Wherever gravel was spread last
winter, this weather will insure its
packing down. and the principal
thing that will be needed is to use
the drags after the roads dry, to
keep the roads surfaced and round
ed up 1t is important that no ruts
be allowed to form permanently.
