But You Can Poach Your Egg And Eat Th* Hen Later Washington, D. C., Feb. 22.-—Ap-preciation of this fact, the poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture say, will add 150,000,000 eggs to our food supply this year without reducing our supply of chicken meat. Investigators have found that because poultry brings 2 cents a pound more in winter than in late spring, many farmers in the south have been throwing away valuable egg profits just to get 8 cents more per hen. They believe that if farmers will keep their laying hens and sell their eggs and then market the birds in the late spring, they will not only add to the food supply, but actually increase their profits 50 cento per hen. Monday, February 25th will witness the biggest sale of the year at the Simon Thompson farm, one mile north of Rensselaer.
