Doctor Wiley, the sage of the De partment of Agriculture, at a recent meeting of a Congressional Committee which is investigating the oost of food, was asked the question “When does an egg cease to be fresh? “That question.” replied the Doe. tor, “1 will answer, when a pig ceases to be a pig and be comes a hog?” Incidentally the Chief Chemist not only’ explained, but practically an telling when eggs are frevh. - He had a big glass beaker threequarters filled with a ten per cont solution of table salt. Into this be dropped eggs. All the absolutely fresh eggs Im mediately sank to the bottom, while the eggs that weren't quite go fresh floated a quarter or third out of the water, He indcrsed his method and sald it was possible thereby to prosecute storage eps as the “strictly fresh” country variety, Doctor Wiley stated that he now has only two Inspectors supervising ecld storage methods, but with twenty-five of them he believes it possible to keep a close watch over the industry all over the country, and with the adoption of regulations prescribing the length of time allowed to food stuffs to remuin In storage, the public would benefit thereby. He stated it as his belief that with & tank of suitable proportion egg storers could test 5,000 egge at a time before placing them In storage, in order to determine the freshness of the product, for unless the egg Is in storage, it will deteriorate rapidly when placed upon the maket MONEY IN POULTRY.

In 1906 there wore, according to the census, 1,760 Jewish congregations in this country. Each of these may be said to have an average member. ship of 450 persons, according to the bulletin. In other words Jess than 800,000 Jewish men, women and child Ten were connected with Jewish oon gregations, But in 1906 it may be conservatively estimated that there were certainly no less than 1,600,000 Jews in this country, and that more probably there ware 2,000,000, What religious connection had these hundred of thousands of Jews who Were connected with no congresetion? it would appear that onehal’, if not more, of the Jews in this country have been lost hold of by the synagozue. Now, the figures may net Bc wo large aa these indicate. Thy are more than 1,769 Jewish congress: tions, but there are very few more apparently.
