Yolks of eggs at this season generally are delicate yellow in color', giving a light yellow to omelets, custards, cakes or other favorite egg dishes. Later, as spring comes and many hens will be on green feed, more eggs will have deep yellow yolks. The shade of yel low is no indication of the vi tamin A in the yolk. Now that most hens are scientifically fed, they get their full quota of vi tamins and other nutrients in all seasons. : ' Modern hens, it seems, have Mrs. Engelkemier Honored On Her 93rd Birthday Although Mrs. Mathilda En gelkemeier's 93rd birthday is not until Tuesday, February 19th, her six children and their fam ilies gathered at her home Sun day to honor her.
