Eggs Not Laid by Hens.

Science, prompted and urged by the commercial instinct, has demonstrated that casein, from ordinary cows’ milk, is quite as good for baking as the finest hen eggs,and a company with $6,500,000 capital has been formed to manufacture out of it a substitute for the "fresh” and “strictly fresh” 'product of the poultry yard. One pound of casein is equal to six dozen eggs. August Belmont is a large stockholder in this corporation, which already, though only an infant, puts out about 1,200 pounds a day, the equivalent of 86,400 eggs. The hen’s only remaining advantage lies In the unhatch&bleness of the rival product and its lnoasement in a box instead of a shell. She alone can >be the mother of broods and flocks of chickens. Casein cannot deprive her of that cherished privilege. The artificial egg has arrived, but not the artificial broiler, fowl, capon, roaster, etc. —New York Press.
