Twenty-five thousand egg consumers of Cleveland. O., struck ngalnit the high price of winter eggs. The hen.

The Men that ostriches are n warm weather fiwl Is certainly exploded by the big bints at the nioomsburg os trlch farm, thirteen miles from Itlv erslde. Pa. The ostriches onjoy the xero weather, wade lu the snowdrift nud tie down nnd roll In the snow like boys when the llrst snow arrive. The belief has been exploded thnt u Hon cannot lay two ok tn n day. mid the authorities nt the North American egg laying contest nt Storrs. Conn., have the goods to prove It.

We have examined surb shipments nnd In every enso found the mortality came from crowding nnd III usngo. Excite ment and starvation often kill birds cooped In such n big bunch. The limit of conservation has been reached when Professor Surface, state xoologlst of Pennsylvania, Issue the ultimatum "Conserve tfie skunk." We advise Mr Surface that the person really responsible for the slaughter ol tho Innocents Is not mere man, but woman, lovely lovely womuu. who wears skunk under the name Alaska ssbttx Instead of appealing to fain clen and hunters be should appear be foro women's clubs and sister societies and nsk them to throw their protecting arm around tho dear, harmless little polecats.
