fall Of 1858.
Early in 1857 egg production
was at record high, with prices
the lowest in II years. Prices
picked up after ,nid-year, reflect
ing the Is percent cut from 1856
in the number Of chicks raised for
laying flock replacement.
Another point in the outlook for
eggs is lower consumption. Per
capita consumption Of eggs in 1858
may be reduced about 5 percent
below the $50 eggs now anticipated
for 1857. This would e the lowest
level in Is years. I. S. egg
production has renf/ned relatively
stable since 1850, despite an IN
crease in population.

High Egg Prices
Seen Continuing
For All OF 1858

Ego prices this fall are higher
than q year ago, and this higher
price level in comparison with
last year is expected to continue
throughout the present laying
period.
Economists in the University Of
Maryland department. of agricul-
tural economies bases this outlook
on numbers Of layers. They say the
number Of potcntial layers on farms
ON January /, 1853, will be 5 per-
cent less than a year earlier The
average number Of LAYERS during
1858 probably will be 3 or per-
cent below 1857 for the United
States.
With fewer layers in flocks, they
point out, there will be fewer eggs
and they are going to bring higher
prices.
They say there is no possibili-
ty of the number of layers in 1858
catching up with 1857 until after
the middle of the year. when pull
let requirements will increase the
size Of the laying flock. Even then,
it is expected that the increase in
layers will be smaller than usual,
because the large number of old
hens now in production will be
only partially replaced during the

There were some who shouted

Mary took no voice in the shouting
any time The star of her love
shone steadily through the storm.
Those who really know Jesus, not
by hearsay, rumor or tradition,
but know him as a living inner
Friend, and Savior, do not change
their minds about Him overnight
And sometimes those who love
Him most deeply are not to be
found among the Shouters, but
among those who serve.
