thrust his head out of a window and
emitted a shrill whistle, whereupon a

The colonel proffered this note to
the subofiicer. "That, sergeant, is an

after our duel the major is still alive,

Economist Reviews
Poultry Situation

Fewer hens and pullets In farm
flocks, less eggs laid per farm flock.
lighter hatchinys OF chicks, low stor-
age Of eggs, reduced marketIngs, de-
creased consumption and n definitely
lower level Of prices are highlights In
the current poultry situation, points
out r. NJ. Turner, State College extern
sion economist,
There was an average Of nearly 10
hens and pullets per farm flock In the
United States on Junel. compared to
70 year ago. Matches OF eggs ran
considerably under last year. Conse-
quently fewer hens and pullets nre ex-
pected In laying houses this fall COM
pared to the fall Of 1881,
Receipts Of eggs at eastern markets
from Jan. to July were 20 per cent
less than for the same period q year
ago During the first three weeks Of
June, receipts at the primary markets
in Washington and Oregon were rum
ming from 10 to IA per cent less than
for the corresponding weeks year
ago.
Consumption Of eggs decreased 8
per cent in the United States, while
consumption at New York was about
per cent under that for Map OF last
year. There has been some increased
demand for the cheaper grades on ac-
count of lower buying power.
Demand for eggs to store has been
markedly absent Case, and frozen
eggs In storage June l totalled B0O0,-
| 900 cases compared to 100000 cases
last year. Many smaller dealers who
usually store some eggs have not been
storing this season. The trade Is adj
verse to storing any but the higher
quality eggs this year.
The drop In wheat prices should
help commercial poultrymen who buy
feeds According to Washington prices
in May, 1882, 1t required 1871 dozen
eggs to purchase 100 pounds of poul-
try rations compared to 10 dozen in
