Prices of high grades, both gathered 
Jtiul nearby are four or live cents lower, 
'riie movement of white eggs from the 
Ear West has been fairly large. Sev- 
ei-al hundred ca.ses Wf've sold at auction 
at (>0 to t)4 cents, with buyers critical, 
as is usually the case on a breaking mar¬ 
ket. There is only a slight movemeut of 
stf>rage stock from whtolosalers hands, 
as they do not care to dispose of them 
jit the figures named by the (lovernmeut, 
5vhich are several cents under what 
buyers are willing to pay for the high 
ijualities. There is no doubt that the 
figures fixed by the Food Administratiou 
allow ample profit to these holders, but 
there is no obligation to sell, and they 
hope to get more later. Speculators in 
both butter and eggs expect to lose on 
part of their holdings, and hgnre on 
making an unusual profit on some to even 
the matter up.

The Hen and “Table Scraps” 
Reading the article on page 44 on feed¬ 
ing table scraps to hens, it sets me to 
thinking. I (piite frequently sec some¬ 
thing in my papers, and have also heard 
of folks who have kept a .small flock of 
hens, and their principal living was the 
scraps from the table. I am a fa inner 
and keep a flock of hens, but. if I de¬ 
pended oil table scraps for any part of 
their fet'd, I should have to cut'down my 
flock to one hen, and that particular hen 
would think she was living in Germany. 
Now. don’t get the impression that we 
are living very poor (there are two of 
us), because I very frequently sit down 
to meals that you could not get for 
money in the best hotels in the country, 
and there is plenty of it, too. but there 
is very little wasted. I want to know 
how folks make so many scraps. Do 
they simply throw away good food, or do 
they make their food so poor by poor 
cooking, etc., that they cannot eat it, or 
whatV IVill some of the scrappers please 
write and tell us how they manage to 
get so many scraps from the table?
