Eggs and Beefsteak. es per The hen comes in'for her annual panegyric from the Secretary ot Agriculture. Her annual production of eggs is now put at 20,000,000,000, The hen is thus next to the cow the “farmer's best friend.” T° at present competes with wheat for precedence he egg crop In Secretary Wilson's remarks on hens is the interesting statement that eggs are coming into wider tise as a substitute for high-priced meats, besides entering more generally into the eve ‘ay food of the people. Is this tendency a result of Beef Trust exactions or of the dissemination of more rational views of diet? Certainly the egg has made inroads on the American breakfast table where a generation ago chops and beefsteak reigned supreme. With regard tothe food value of eggs, when they are dozen, as they are now, it takes $1.39 worth of eggs to furnish one pound - of protein, which is the material from which human tissue 24 cents a is formed. The cost of a pound of protein from sirloin beef, when it is selling at 25 cents, ls $1.60. Expressed in calories of energy, 10 cents’ worth of eggs at this price represents 385 units, as compared with 410 for beef. When the eggs are 30 cents a dozen the New York consumer will find beef more economical. Queer Accident to Deer. 66.
