The Product of the Hen, The increase in the egg production in the United States, in the past few years, is something wonderful, Strange as it may seem, it is never- theless true, that the increase in the supply causes no reduction in the price, while on the contrary the price ls gradually incresmsing. While the egg industry is a general one, being carried on In all the states in the union, it is especially marked in our immediate viemnity, The Howard Creamery Corporation purchased from April 1 to 16:h, 6000 dozen, This smonnt several years ago would have represented the purchases of a mooth or more, These people late year paid out over $11,000 00 for eggs alone, and from present indications, the amount will reach $1500000 or more for the present year. The heavy purchases of this coocern are due largely to the fact that they always pay the highest market price for all the products they purchase, The average price paid by this concern for butter-fat for the past six months was twenty-eight and one half cents. At present they are paying twenty-five cents which no doubt accounts for the many new patrons that are being added to their already large and satis- fled list. se r—m—r————— Fine Horse Stock, An opportunity is being given horse breeders,in Penns Valley to improve their stock by Willam F, Rishel, of Farmers Mills, who recently purenas- ed a stud and mare, registered in the American Breeders’ and Importers, Percheron Register.
