They were large, lusty fellows ©ver three inches in length and capable of taking care of themselves.— Monticello Journal. Dr. Wiley,' the U. S. pure food expert, says that eggs in this country should be sold by weight, as they are in France. Yankee shrewdness discovered that it takes much less food to produce and keep small hens that lay small eggs, and so long as eggs are sold by the dozen the smaller the hens and the eggs the more the producer makes. The consequence is that hens and eggs are being bred down to bird’s size and after awhile a man will have to order a dozen for a square meal. Where eggs are sold by weight 11 larger eggs are produced.

His number was 2414, but as it is expected that at least 1,000 of those drawing claims will not file for same his chances for a good claim will be that much better. The filing for claims will not take place until April 10th. Dick has a good one picked out, but is not certain that some one will not select this claim before him.
