 In the matter of eggs, however. New England has much the advan- tage in tho home market. Nature is a valuable aid in competition with western eggs. It is impossible for western shippers to keep their eggs in high class condition during long freight or express ride, and west erns" in New England are distinctly inferior. and no amount of fancy branding can change the facts. Ma tive eggs. brought to market within 24 hours after the hens have done their duty, command considerable higher prices than the westerns. and such parts of the population as can afford the extra price and appre- ciate the higher product always prefer the native eggs.

We find that is rather difficult pro

tell us what mountain is second to

who has made specially of noun
tain climbing says that he found two
men who asserted stoutly that Mt.
Spreckles in Oxford County was few
feet higher than Mt. Katahdn but
after some difficulty he learned that
it was only about 4150 feet above tide
water. Dead Riverites allow that
Bigelow is second, yet an old map
places Wessataquoik 20 be 5245 feet.
With regard to the four high mounts
that Mr. Brown looked from last fall
the topmost peaks of Katahdin, Dou-
bletop and Boarstone and Old Squaw,
there are disputed attitudes in the
three, while Doubletop, the steepest
mountain in Maine, so far as he can
learn is absolutely without data as to
