than  were  laid  in  the  sixteenth  week. 
Barred  Rocks  make  the  high  score  this 
week,  the  pen  from  Rock  Rose  Farm  lay¬ 
ing  59,  equalling  the  highest  score  yet 
made  by  any  pen.  Tom  Barron’s  White 
Wysndottes  are  second  with  a  score  of 
5<i,  and  Obed  (i.  Knight's  Wyandottes  tie 
for  third  place  with  Fairfield  Farms  pen 
from  New  Hampshire,  each  laying  55. 
A.  B.  Brundage’s  R.  I.  Reds  tie  with 
Springdale  Poultry  Farms  Reds  for 
fourth  place,  each  laying  54.  Sixteen 
pens  laid  50  or  more.  The  whole  thou¬ 
sand  birds  laid  over  02  per  cent,  of  the 
possible  total. 
Torn  Barron's  White  Wyandottes  still 
lead  in  the  total  output  hut.  are  only  It 
eggs  ahead  of  Obed  C.  Knight’s  pen;  the 
figures  being  855  and  844.  P.  W-  Backus’ 
W  hite  Wyandottes  from  Ontario  are  third 
with  a  total  of  714.  This  gives  White 
Wyandottes  the  first  three  places  in  the 
total  score. 
A  subscriber  of  Tiik  R.  N.-Y.  writing 
from  Lynn,  Mass,,  gives  some  figures 
showing  the  records  of  his  50  R.  I.  Red 
pullets  which  show  some  remarkable  lay¬ 
ing:  71  dozen  in  December,  profit  $35.10; 
03  dozen  in  January,  profit  .$25.05;  02 V> 
dozen  in  February,  profit  $22.25 ;  $83 
profit  in  three  months  on  50  pullets  is 
pretty  good.  This  is  $1.0(5  profit  per 
bird,  which  is  more  profit  than  many 
flocks  make  in  a  year.  In  four  months 
this  flock  laid  2,774  eggs.  This  exceeds 
♦  he  best  live,  pens  (50  birds)  of  any  breed 
at  the  Storrs  contest  except  the'  White
