SELF-PRESERvING EGGS.

A new idea for poultrymen is that of
making hen lay self-preserving eggs.
By Offering a grocer eggs which he
could keep for some time on his shelves
without having to put them into cold
storage, the aspiring poultryman could
almost command his own prices, pro-
vided, of course, that the eggs were as
edible as the best
In the Popular Science Monthly ap-
pears description OF experiments un-
dertaken by DR.. Oscar Riddle, now of
the Carnegie Institute.
BY his method the hen ~as fed uro-
tropin. administered in capsules at the
rate of less than a gram . day. Uro-
tropin is deposited in the egg, where II
changes into formalin, a well-known
preservative.
Eggs laid within twenty-four hours
after the first dosing, as well as those
laid Ave days after. were sufficiently
affected to be preserved. Dr. Riddle
tested the keeping power of the eggs
in comparison with those from un-
treated hens under particularly severe
circumstances. Eggs OF both varieties
laid in the month of July were allowed
to stand in a temperature varying from
seventy-eight degrees above zero to
twenty-five below. BY the middle of
September the difference between the
two kinds of eggs could be easily de-
tected: by the middle Of November all
the eggs from undosed hens were spoilt
while those from urotropin fed hens
were still edible, although they had
lost some OF their bulk of water.
The drug does not injure the hens,
and is obtafnable at small cost.

CAN YOU PROVE YOUR BIRTH

The ChildreRs Bureau Of the United
States Department of Labor in a recent
bulletin calls attention to the Importance
of legal record of birth. including date,
place and parentage. In most States the
laws require physicians to file proper
certificates, but there Is much careless
ness in this regard. Complete registry of
all births is important both to the indi-
vidual and to the nation; to the nation
in order that 1t may know the exact in
crease in the population, and to the in
dividual in order that he may establish
his right to a possible inheritance to the
full legal measure of schooling, or free

his later years that he may establish
his right to benefits under old age pension
