As I was Walking homeward in
The middle of the street
I saw a figure stiff and tall.
Draped in a winding sheet.Nine cats were sitting on a fence.
And all of them were black;
A witch upon a broomstick rode
Across the moon and back.
I found the house door swinging wide,
The candles flickered blue,
The clock at midnight wrung its hands
The mirror cracked in two.

And went before me up the stair -

at least a dollar more than those laid
by a yearling in order to make pullets
as good an investment as yearlings.
This is because pullets would be de-
preciating one dollar and fifty cents
each as compared with fifty cents each
for the yearling bens.
It is always wise to do a little cal-
eulating of this sort before deciding
just how many pulletsand hens to

Color of Egg Yolk Affected -
by Feed.
That the color; of the yolk in eggs
varies considerably with the kind of
feeds that may be given to the hen
has been known in a general way for
sense three !recent experiments have
demonstrated that feeds lacking in
color, as white corn, produce when fed
to laying hens yolks that lack color.
Feeds that possess color, such as yel-
low corn, wheat, green grass and yet-
low carrots have been found to pro-
duce an egg with considerably ',nen'
color in the yolk than the feeds that
lack color.. An egg with e yolk o.f good
color is more inviting to the consumer
of fresh eggs than one lacking color.
