Pays Tribute to Nebraska Hen.

In a statement covering his investi.
cations and collection OF figures on the
subject, Commissioner of Labor &. w.
Pool says:
"In 1912 there were shipped from
points in Nebraska, 47,62S,S22 dozen
eggs. Owing to the high price OF meat
the consumption Of eggs on farms was
undoubtedly much greater than In
r911, when 6O.1S0.650 dozen eggs were
shipped. The fancy price to be real.
azed from the sale OF live and dressed
poultry in 1912 no doubt had its effect
upon the egg production. as in that
year the shipment of this commodity
reached the enormous total of 40,52S..
ESQ pounds, as against total ship.
ment in 1911 Of 26.74S,604 pounds. In
1911 there were shipped from Nebras.
ka stations a total Of 60,1S0.650 dozen
eggs.
1T is perfectly safe to assume that
the 127.723 families upon farms used
33,9S0 dozen eggs. Figuring the price
at 20 cents per dozen in 1912, 1t will
be observed that the Nebraska hen ID
no slouch when 1t comes to getting the
coin. ,.
without fear OF being accused Of
undue friendship for the hen. 1t Is safe
to state that she brought to the
pockets OF Nebraska farmers during
1912 not less than $1O,0OO,O00. to say
nothing Of the part she played in salts
flying the craving of the inner man."
