High Cost of Eggs Troubled Imbibers Of Eggnog in 1875 By Bill Frye Whor the Christman season rolls around people think of singing riu ois, playing Santa Claus and soak ing up holiday spirits in one way or another. One of the perennial favorites of the bottom-uppers during the holi day season U egg-nog. which was contrived an unknown hut goodly number of years ago. Whenever it was, it is sufe to say there were no qualms then about throwing in plenty of eggs, along with what- j ever else went into the drink, tie cause of a high price tag on hen j fruit. Eggs nowadays arc something like 75 cents a dozen, probably not I so high it will deter connois seurs of fine eggnogs from par- | taking of their favorite Yuletide I beverage. Hut think of the plight of the citizens of Silver City, Idaho, in the year 187f>. The Dec. 7 issue of the Daily Avalanche of , that year brought this message to j its readers: Costly Eggs. No Drink •'The price of an egg in this | market now is 12'^ cents, which high tariff prevents many from i enjoying that old-fashioned holi- j j day beverage, eggnog.” The newspaper was aware of the ; j effects of inflationary prices in keeping an old tradition restricted : J to the well-to-do or the chicken I ranchers of the area. It had this to say about the dilemma and the hens' failure to live up to stand ards: “In view of the scarcity of eggs and the great deprivation under i gone by many in consequence, it is of interest to know what will make hens lay more and get them down to their business.” Make ’Em Lay The author of the article was I apparently no greenhorn about leg ; horns though. He presented a pos sible solution to the "fowled-up” situation which was no doubt taken as something more than just a “poultry” suggestion: ! "A thick mush made of ground Indian meal, hot water and a large ! seed pepper fed to the hens will do ! the work. It must be cooked an ' hour or more and it is well enough ; to stir in a little horseradish. It is | said that this will ensure a bounti ; ful supply of eggs.” Our writer also realized what hardships the principals of the plot | would be subject to, for he con | eluded: ”It compels to lay even if not an | agreeable task.” Times have not changed much. Nowadays we have people like Dorothy Dix and Mr. Fixit who get paid for their advice on how to deal with obstinate chicks.
