BAD EGG QUESTION.
Department of Agriculture BlaInes
Farmers and PouItererS.

Washington. June 1O.-Convinced
that means could be found to over
come the loss of several millions of
dollars a year in the egg industry the
department of agriculture has just
completed an extensive inquiry into
the causes for added eggs. In a state
nent issued today the investigators fix
the blame on the farmers and poul-
tererS.
THE greatest part of the loss is due
mainly to ignorance or Indifference on
the part of the farmer and producer,
says the report, land only Il small part
is caused by carelessness on the part of
the buyer and shipper"
The department urges the observ
ance of five simple rules in the conduct
of the egg industry. and sets them
forth as follows:
Give the hens clean nests.
Gather eggs at least once daily
Keep eggs in cool dry, place.
Market eggs at least twice a week.
XIII or sell all matured male birds
as soon as the Matching season closes
The result of the investigation has
been embodied in a special pamphlet
ordered printed by the department.

Strange Delay in
 Moorie Beth Estate

Introduction into the House by Rep resentative Clitus H. King of Fairfield of bill by which the distribution is ordered on Oct. 1 of the estate of the late Moorie B. Beth recalls the my sterious life and equally strange de- n1ase of a Bridgeport woman whose property has been involved. in the courts for more than a decade.
 Moorie B. Beth was believed to be an alias by the few who enjoyed any thing bordering a close acqua1ntance with the woman whose death occur red at the Bridgeport hospital II years ago. Employed for many years in a factory, she disclosed nothing of her early life or family, and by frugal manner of living 'amassed an estate which was estimated as worth $7,S00-
 Before her death she had expressed the desire to make a will leaving all her belongings to Hattie K. Seward of Fairfield Her death occurred before this could be done, and under the ordinary procedure her estate would escheat. to the state However, those interested in the fulfillment of her wishes relative to her property began as long ago as 1903 to introduce legis- lation to direct. the conveyance of her estate to Hattie K. Seward. Bill after bill has been introduced along this line, hut none has proved effective. The bill just about to be heard before the Judiciary committee specifically directs the distribution inm ediately after Oct. 1.
