EFFECTS OF FoeD
Larger Eggs. nut DIsagreeabIe Flavo.
Results

Some years ago the Cornell station
n the effect of heterogeneous VS.. car
boAaceous food for poultry reported
observations on the different rations
on the flavor of eggs. One lot of fowls
was fed a mixture of wheat. shorts,
cottonseed meal and skim milk; an.
other lot cracked corn and corn dough.
The former ration contained MUCK
more nitrogen than the latter. The
hens fed corn laid fewer eggs than
those fed the heterogeneous ration, but
the eggs were larger. The eggs pro-
duced by the nitrogenous ration were
of disaaeeable favor and smell, had
small yoke and did not keep very
well The flesh of the poultry fed
this ration, however. was the darker.
more succulent and tenderer than that
of the fowls fed the carbonaceous ra-
ton.

Repeated Story Daily
for Forty Three Years

John Manley Of Brook Farm,
N. j., went to a party 43 years
ago and told a story in which
he used some unusually long
words. A girl, teasing him,
asked him to promise that he
would tell the story at least once
each day for the rest of his life.
Manley promised.
Recently he completed his
forty-third year of telling the
story. He has not broken the
promise. He figures that he has
repeated the tale at least 10000
times, for sometimes he told it
more than once in a day. The
story contains 450 words. and
Manley tells it in ten minutes.
