PUT UNFAIR PRICE ON "PULLET EGGS"? Writer Makes Complaint of Classification. One of the by-products of produce houses buying eggs on grade is the addition of t lie term "pullet eggs" (as used commercially) to the knowledge and vocabulary of farm folks. Many have felt that the produce houses were using the classification of "pullet eggs" to take ao unfair advan tage of producers. Whether the city market justifies the sharp discount we are unable to say. but it does seem unfair to pay 20 cents for eggs weigh ing 24 ounces and more per d /.en and only I" ?r T 1 cents for those weighing up ro 22 ounces, which is what many houses have done this fall. It seems that those produce houses that classify all eggs under -2 ounces per dozen as pullets have pushed the limit higher than general practice in egg buying in the Cnited States calls for.

As a rule, this maternal ability will prove the same from year to year, and those which have deserted or broken eggs carelessly will In al' probability prove unfaithful ro the end.

That Is what Peter Rabbit thinks, and Peter ought to know. Ilut as to that it Is quite probable that Buster thinks some of Peter's ways queer. It is the way of the world to think other folks queer, and Buster thinks some of Peter's ways queer, and I am quite sure that both think your ways and mine very queer Indeed. To Peter's way of thinking one of Buster Bear's queerest habits is that of sleeping away most of the winter. Since his talk with Prickly Porky the Porcupine, Peter had begun to under stand why Johnny Chuck and some of the others went to sleep as soon as cold weather came, to stay asleep until Mistress Spring should arrive.

TASTY TORTES FOIt the cake par excellence, the torte is one of the' daintiest. Our German cooks excel in this kind of a cake combination. Tortes are rich with nuts, chopped or rolled fine, plenty of eggs and crumbs, with spices. The baking is another important point, as slow, careful baking is necessary for a light and tender torte.

BURGESS had to sleep or starve, for there was none of the food they need, and wouldn't be so Ions as winter lasted. Ilut somehow Peter couldn't seem to make the reasou fit the ease to Bus ter Bear, lluster didn't seem to want to go to sleep for the winter. He had prowled around until after the snow had come to stay, and then, and not until then, he had stretched out on his bed of leaves unth-r the shelving rock deep in the Green Forest, where he had slept away the last winter, and Peter knew that they would see no more of him until spring. Now, why should he go to sleep for weeks at a time that way? Peter puzzled anil puzzled over it ns he turned It over in his mind. Johnny Chuck lives on tender green things, and in winter there are no tender green things. Old Mr. Toad lives on worms and bags. At least there are none where Old Mr. Toad can get them. Hut with Buster Bear It was different. Why shouldn't he keep awake all winter just as Ueddy Fox and Old Man Coyote do? It seemed to Peter very absurd that such a great big fellow as Bustt-r Hear, o I whom everybody else was afraid and who had such a great warm fur coat, should hide away and sle?'p just because it was winter.

"Buster Hear Is smart,** said Peter, "lie is one of the smartest of all the people iu the Green Forest. Every body says that. Aud if he is so smart why can't he eateh enough to eat in the winter just as Keddy Fox and Old Man Coyote do? They don't waste their time sleeping, and they don't starve to death. They may go hungry some of the time. Most of us do that In bad weather. But they catch enough to live on. Why doesn't Bus ter Bear?" "Huh!" grunted Prickly Porky. "You don't know much about Buster Bear. What do you think he lives on. anyway?" "Why. on any of us little people he can catch," replied Peter promptly. "Everybody knows that!" "Then everybody knows something that everybody doesn't know at all. That Is the trouble with a lot of peo ple ? they think they know when they don't know. Now take the queer case of Buster Bear. Every one seems to think that because he eats a mouse or a rabbit or some other of the little forest people silly enough not to keep out of his reach, that he lives on them altogether. Just as Old Man Coyote does. That shows how little some folks know about I heir neighbors. If Old Man Coyote should catch you. Peter, which i hope he won't, you would make him a good meal. But you wouldn't be more than a mouth ful for Buster Bear. Two or three fat mice would do Keddy Fox for a whole day, but they wouldn't more than tickle Buster Bear's stomach. Buster eats meat when it happens to fall In his way, but what he lives on mostly are roots and berries and nuts and bugs and fish and fro^s, and he has to have a lot of them. Where, pray tell, would he find them at this time of the year? Ilo is Just like Johnny Chuck and Bobby Coon and the other sleep ers ? he'd starve if he didn't sleep." "Thank you. Prickly Porky," said Peter politely. "I've learned a lot. Vet even now I cannot help feeling that it is very queer that such a big, strong fellow like Buster Bear should sleep all winter. Anyway, I hope he has pleasant dreams." ( ic) bv .1 '? t.lovd.l ?
