Why Eggs Are Dear

MD you know that when a
IL chick that is to become
hen pecks. open the shell
and steps out to salute king of
day with its wise little eye, it
brings with it into the world, in
embryo form, every egg that it
will ever lay?
That is a small fact, for whose
truth biologists youch, which
possesses a great Importance.
You may have supposed that
by good feeding and kind treat
ment a hen could be induced to
: lay a larger number of eggs in
the course of her life than she
would have laid if she had been
left to her own gallinaceous, or
henlike, preferences and fancies.
But, if so, you are mistaken.
Every hen has a fixed capital
in eggs handed out to her at the
beginning of her life. She can
not add to the number, and
when she has laid them all her
usefulness in the world is end
ed, and she will not long sur
vive.
The bearing of this on the
problem of the egg supply is
plain. You can hurry up the
production by special feeding,
forcing and selecting processes,
but you can not increase the
total number of eggs capable of
being laid by any one hen. And,
more than that, you will per-
ceptibly shorten her life by
every additional dozen eggs you
compel her to lay.
The following statistical state
ment has appeared about the
number of eggs that hens are
capable of laying: The common
hen can lay in year from 120
to $50; the leghorn can lay from
$50 to 100; the brahma some-
thing more than 200 But that
is almost their entire capital,
and at the end of the year their
powers aN practically ex-
hausted.

is not to be accomplished by
talking, but by action" remark
which was vociferously applaud
ed, during which the speaker,
who was bright enough to un-
derstand the reason for the
sudden enthusiasm of his audi
tors, sat down, covered with con-
fusion and modification.
He had imagined that the
world had been gradually grow
ing better all the time he had
been talking.
A passage very much in point
occurs in the sermon delivered
by Rev. DR.. William Lawrence,
bishop of Massachusetts,, in
opening the Episcopal conven-
ton on October 8, as follows:
Ecclesiastical councils, indeed
all legislative bodies, are tempted
to concentrate their time on GER
tain ideals or reforms, while the
causes that are pulling down the
ideals and preventing them are
unnoticed.
"How many days have our
conventions consumed in legisla-
ton upon marriage and divorce,
while the church has been SOL
.emnizing marriages of men and
women whose past habits will al
most certainly lead to divorce.
and while influences about the
youth of the country have been
tempting them to undue excite
ment, unwise liberty, loss OF self
control and impurity, which is
sure to reap its harvest of di-
vorce and degrade ideals of mar
riage many times faster than
ecclesiastical or civil legislation
can uplift them?'
Perhaps the time and thought
expended in writing this article
might have been more effectively
employed in doing than in trying
to tell what. ought to be done.
The San Francisco call., 1913-10-28

In state of nature they would
not think of squandering their
resources in that way. The
jungle fowl, from which domes-
tic hens are descended, lays on
the average 10 eggs in year
and lives about IS years.
The domestic hen. in the
hands of her merciless master,
is forced to lay her whole $50
eggs in a single year, and if she
continues to produce sparingly
during a second year it is only
at the expense of the small sur
plus or reserve fund of germ
plasm that nature gave her to
provide against the accidents of
existence.
The people of the United
States consume in one year
16,000,000,000 eggs! To attain
that enormous annual supply the
life of the hen, which nature set
at Is years when she was a care
free inhabitant of the Indian
jungles, has been cut down to a
year or two.
She has been turned into an
egg producing machine, driven
at the highest attainab1e speed.
Not only is she robbed of her
eggs, but she is also robbed of
her right to be a mother.
She must not hatch out her
young and show them, with
motherly pride, how to pick up .
living, for that would be waste
of time from her masters point
of view. He will do the hatch
ing with a kerosene lamp and
will furnish patent food for her
unnursed babes, while she goes
back to lay another dozen eggs
and surrender another year of
her life.
This is the epic of the hen. 1t
is very poor epic; but, for any
person whose sympathies are
broad enough to include other
tragedies and other comedies
than those of mere human life,
it possesses an appeal that can
not we'll be neglected.

TALKING and writing about
how the world can be made
better seems so much like
the real thing, so much like the
actual process of making the
world better, that, even while his
tongue is wagging or his pen
spelling clean page of foolscap,
he has a self-congratultaory feel
ing that things are at that very
moment really on the make.
Two men downtown had
the incident from one of them
were debating the best method
of dealing with families that had
become reduced to poverty and
generally demoralized in conse-
quence of the drunken habits of
the husband and father.
The discussion had been car
ried to some length and with
considerable fervor on both
sides. when suddenly the more
practical of the two disputants
stopped and said,
There is just such a family
living in the next block; let us
quit talking and go over there
and see what we can do"
Some years ago there was
held public gathering for the
purpose of mutual congratulation
over a political victory which
had just been gained, resulting
in great depression of spirits in
Fourteenth street.
One of the speakers availed of
the opportunity to air himself in
expatiating upon the means
necessary to be used in order to
secure the fruits of victory and
to make the victory permanent.
He had rambled on in a can
tering way for almost an hour
by the presiding officers watch
when he suddenly drew himself
together and declared: "But this

Washington. Dec. 22.-The new bill affecting the currency, banking adad finances of the country, which beth branches of congress prepared to pass before President W 3ls9n for his sigma tsfsxA is one Of the most faF-reaehing measures relating to finance that has been enacted in many years. The mag n4tsFde Of the subject the diversity of interests affected, and the length Of the debates in both branches 0e congress has made it difficult fer the ordinary observer Co fe4SoW the changes and grasp the essentials of this haghay technical measure in its ina poEtant and the entire range of fiscal subjects, public and private, which It aaIsc1s- With view therefore, of presenting saccineGly and in nen-technieed Ian g4aag'e an epitonae of some of the Sadl~ ent features of the measure as hnaAiy given of the bdll as 8 whole and of its principal details
 Its Effect Upon National Banks.
 Generally speaking, the first steps to be taken to bring into operation the nations new financial system wiA be through an organization conanaat4ee consisting of the secretary of the treasury, secretary of agriculture and comptroller of the currency. Banks have tt 0<a1yS W7LN1l WHICH tC 4lfS L91S@A applications for membership in the new system and one years time is all lowed before the government will com pei the dissolution of any national bank that refuses to join.
 The new law will make little direct change in the operation of the present national banks except to allow them to loan a certain amount of their funds upon farm mortgages It's chief purpose is to add a new piece of ma cninery to the banking system that will 'Ta4Se up the slack during the chanaing business conditions of each year; that will give the banks a place to quickly convert their assets into cash in time of need and that will bring out new federal currency when it is needed and retire it when money becomes echeaRr
 Provision for Financial Crises
 Banks are now required to keep a cer4ain percentage of their deposits as reserves part in cash ia their own vaulEs and part of which may be TeaepoSited in the banks of New York, Chicago St Louis and other deSignat- ed cities In times of sudden financial demands When banks have loaned up t0 the fnE Haaadt of their resources, these reserves furnish little relief, be- canse if they are paid out to meet de- maanGs the banks are left in a preearl- ous condition.
