years old apiece. 1t is popularity sup

cannot she does make that fact public
1t is enough that each probably can
tell herself apart, but even this is not

These heavenly twins live next door

A few days ago one of the twins, by

It was received with thanks and at

GERMAN EGG-LAYING TESTS
Results Given Of Experiments Made
to Determine Effect of Various
Meat Meals on Poultry.

Tests were made a short time since
In Germany to determine the effect of
different meat meals on poultry. Dur
ing these experiments it was found
that the egg production ceased earlier
than with normal hens. Fish meal
was more favorable for egg produc-
ton than meat meal. The eggs were
of poorer flavor than normal eggs,
and could not be preserved in the
usual way.
The meat meal increased the in
tensity of the yellow color of the yolk.
The flesh of the birds fed meat meal
was normal as regards taste and
odor. though slightly changed in color,
melting point and fat, which were
higher than normal, but lower than
normal with fish meal When fed
cadaver meal the flesh of the fowl
had rancid taste, and whenever fed
