to  give  her  just  one  more  dny,  anti  much 
to  my  surprint*  the.  next  day  seven  were 
hatched,  and  the  following  day  the  other 
four,  making  11  and  if  the  other  had  not 
been  broken,  we  should  bare  bad  the  Full 
dozen.  AH  the  chicks  seem  to  be  healthy 
and  in  good  condition.  Can  you  explain 
the  reason  <  f  the  batch  being  delayed  six 
days  beyond  her  time?  r.  w.  C. 
New  York. 
The  time  required  for  incubation  of  lion 
eggs  is  a  variable  one,  a  difference  of  sev¬ 
eral  days  in  the  hatching  of  different  lots 
being  possible.  Freshly  laid  eggs  will 
hatch  earlier  than  those  that  have  been 
kept  for  some  time  before  incubating,  and 
white  eggs  hatch  somewhat  earlier  in  the 
process  of  incubation  than  do  the  thicker 
shelled  brown  ones.  Twenty-one  days  is 
the  average  period  of  incubation  of  lien 
eggs,  but  this  time  may  be  hastened  a  day 
or  two  or  delayed  a  still  greater  length  of 
time  by  varying  the  amount  of  heat,  ap¬ 
plied  to  the  eggs  and  the  constancy  of  its 
application.  For  a  steadily  sitting  lieu 
to  delay  her  hatch  for  six  days  seems  to 
the  writer  very  unusual,  however,  such  an 
occurrence  never  before  having  been 
brought  to  his  attention.  If  there  can  be 
no  mistake  as  to  the  length  of  time  which 
this  hen  sat  or  the  constancy  of  her  atten¬ 
tion  to  her  task,  it  would  seem  to  he  evi¬ 
dent,  that  the  usual  rule  of  three  weeks 
for  a  sitting  hen  is  capable  of  variations 
far  greater  than  has  generally  been  sup¬ 
posed.  m,  B.  D.

EGG-LAYING  CONTEST 
The  decrease  in  egg  production  for  the 
thirty-sixth  week  is  150  eggs,  as  com¬ 
pared  with  the  previous  week.  Frank 
Hancock’s  pen  of  White  Leghorns  from 
Vermont  lead  with  a  score  of  57,  closely 
followed  by  I*.  G.  Platt'S  Leghorns  from 
Pennsylvania,  with  50  to  their  credit. 
The  Hampton  Institute,  Virginia,  Leg¬ 
horns.  and  Alnrgareta  Farm  Leghorns,  tie 
with  Mendeiay  Poultry  Yard’s  pen  of 
I  tar  ml  Locks  for  third  place,  each  pen 
having  laid  55.  Obetl  H.  Knight’s  White 
Wyamlottcs  continue  to  lead  in  total  pro¬ 
duction.  their  score  of  1,03 1  is  32  eggs 
ahead  of  Tom  Barron’s  Wyandottes, 
their  nearest,  competitor. 
Every  breeder  who  wishes  to  improve 
his  flock,  knows  that  the  only  certain  way 
to  accomplish  this  is  to  trap-nest  the 
fowls.  But  this  if  continued  for  the 
whole  year  involves  a  great,  amount  of 
time  and  labor.  The  people  in  charge  of 
the  egg-laying  contest  at  .Mountain  Grove, 
Missouri,  have  been  going  over  their  rec¬ 
ords  to  find  out  what  value  trap-nest  in  ; 
for  a  limited  period  has;  say  one  month, 
two  months  or  six  months.  They  tind 
that  out  of  100  liens  that  stood  best  in 
egg  production  at  the  end  of  one  month, 
52  per  cent,  were  first,  and  20  per  cent, 
were  second,  at  the  end  of  the  year. 
With  but  one  month’s  trap-nesting  IS  per 
cent,  of  the  best  layers  were  obtained.  Of 
the  100  lowest  producers,  as  found  by  one 
mouth’s  i rap-nesting — exactly  the  same 
pr  cent.—  7*-  -were  found  to  he  the  low¬ 
est  producers  sit  the  end  of  the  year.  A 
six-months’  test  is  of  course  better.  Of 
the  100  that  stood  iirst.  at  the  end  of  six 
months,  72  per  cent,  were  first  at  the  end 
of  the  year  and  20  per  cent,  stood  second; 
5)2  iter  cent,  therefore  of  the  best  birds 
were  selected  or  might  have  been  se¬ 
lected — by  trap-nesting  for  six  months. 
If  one-half  of  the  time  and  trouble  of 
trap-nesting  can  be  cut  off,  and  practi¬ 
cally  as  good  results  obtained  as  by  trap- 
nest  iug  for  the  full  year,  it  is  certainly 
worth  knowing. 
The  100  hens  selected  by  six  months' 
trap-nesting  as  the  best  layers,  averaged 
177  eggs  each.  The  100  poorest  layers, 
by  the  same  selection,  averaged  105  eggs 
each.  A  dilTerer.ee  of  72.  or  six  dozen 
eggs.  This  might  make  all  the  difference, 
between  success  or  failure  in  the  poultry 
business.

Worms  in  Poultry 
Will  you  give  n  preventive  and  cure 
for  worms  in  large  flocks  of  poultry? 
We  have  lost  a  large  number  of  hens 
from  that  cause  before  discovering  the 
trouble.  The  worms  form  stoppages  in 
intestines,  stopping  digestion  and  in  most 
instances  death  is  sudden,  with  fowls  in 
apparent  health  and  full  of  eggs.  Others 
linger.  s.  w.  o. 
Illinois. 
Satisfactory  flock  treatment  for  worms 
is  difficult  and  preventive  measures 
should  be  adopted  where  these  parasites 
show  a  tendency  to  become  so  numerous 
as  to  be  a  menace  to  the  health  of  the 
fowls.  Where  possible.  th<*  fowls  should 
be  removed  to  new  ground  at  intervals 
of  several  years  and  the  droppings  should 
he  frequently  removed  from  the  poultry 
quarters  and  suitably  disposed  of.  Treat¬ 
ment.  of  these  droppings  with  quicklime 
or  a  10  per  rent,  solution  of  sulphuric 
acid  in  water  is  recommended  to  destroy 
the  worms  and  their  eggs  that  are  voided, 
and  thus  to  prevent  rein  fee  lion  of  the 
birds.  The  lime  would,  of  course,  impair 
the  value  of  the  droppings  as  fertilizer 
and  sulphuric  acid  is  a  substance  to  be 
handled  with  extreme  care.  Individual 
fowls  may  be  treated  for  worms  by  ad¬ 
ministering  spirits  of  turpentine  in  one  to 
two  teaspoonful  doses;  this  is  best  done 
by  passing  a  flexible  catheter  down  to  the 
crop  and  injecting  the  turpentine,  either 
alone  or  mixed  with  an  equal  quantity  of 
some  bland  oil,  through  this.  Feeding 
chopped  garlic  is  an  old  remedy  for 
worms  but  I  cannot  vouch  for  its  effi¬ 
cacy.  M.  B.  D.

Dark-colored  Yolks 
T  am  having  trouble  with  the  eggs  my 
Rhode  Island  Red  hens  lay;  the  yolks  arc 
almost  brown,  they  are  such  a  dark 
yellow.  The  taste  is  not  impaired  in  any 
way.  but  the  eggs  are  not  at  all  appetiz¬ 
ing  for  looks.  They  are  not  old,  as 
strictly  fresh  ones  just  laid  will  be  dark 
when  opened.  I  feed  plenty  of  milk, 
sometimes  sweet  and  often  sour,  also  but¬ 
termilk,  corn,  cow  peas  and  sorghum 
seed.  liens  are  on  a  range  in  a  clover 
field,  also  get  some  table  scraps,  plenty  of 
oyster  shell  and  charcoal,  and  water 
good  and  fresh.  mbs.  f.  ,t.  a. 
Maryland. 
An  abundant  supply  of  clover,  or  of 
some  other  green  foods,  like  rape,  will 
color  the  yolks  of  eggs  dark  and,  in  some 
cases,  give  them  a  disagreeable  odor.  The 
range  upon  a  clover  field  is  probably  the 
cause  of  the  trouble  in  your  case.  There 
is,  of  course,  nothing  unwholesome  in  this 
color  and  it  need  not  disturb  you  unless 
customers  object  to  it.  M.  b.  n.

Ruptured  Oviduct 
I  have  two  flocks  of  White  Leghorn 
hens,  150  each  flock.  They  have  been 
fed  heavily  for  egg  production  all  Winter, 
dry  Cornell  mash  in  hoppers,  wheat  ami 
cracked  corn  fed  in  litter,  plenty  of  green 
cabbage  and  mangel  beets.  About,  three 
weeks  ago  some  began  to  be  bloody  about 
the  vent,  as  though  ruptured.  Soon  died. 
Have  lost  more  than  a  dozen  this  way. 
They  are  my  best  layers  also.  I  have  a 
pen  of  35  White  Wyandottes  fed  same 
way  and  none  is  afflicted.  Can  you  help 
me  save  the  rest?  H.  c.  F. 
New  York. 
Hens  that,  are  fed  heavily  upon  stimu¬ 
lating  food  and  forced  for  egg  production 
are  subject  to  disorders  of  the  reproduc¬ 
tive  organs,  such  as  inflammation  and 
eversion  of  the  oviduct,  these  disorders 
being  particularly  prevalent  during  the 
Spring  and  early  Summer  when  egg  pro¬ 
duction  is  at  its  height.  It  is  quite  pos¬ 
sible  that  there  is  an  inherent  weakness 
in  some  fowls  which  renders  them  unable 
to  stand  the  strain  of  heavy  production 
and  that  they  thus  break  down  after  a 
season  of  laying.  As  remedial  measures, 
the  liens  may  bo  given  a  purgative  dos£ 
of  Epsom  salts,  about  a  half  teaspoonfu! 
per  hen,  mixed  with  a  moist  mash,  anti 
meat  and  other  stimulating  foods  reduced 
in  quantity  or  omitted  from  the  ration. 
Those  hens  that  show  signs  of  beginning 
trouble  should  be  removed  from  the  flock 
and  placed  in  quarters  where  they  will  be 
quiet.  After  a  dose  of  sails,  they  should 
be  fed  lightly,  with  plenty  of  green  food, 
and  given  time  to  recover.  It  is  obvious 
that  such  measures  will  reduce  egg  pro¬ 
duction  and  it  may  he  more  profitable  to 
dispose  of  such  fowls  than  to  keep  them 
under  treatment.  Such  disorders  empha¬ 
size  the  necessity  of  paying  attention  to 
vigor  in  breeders,  for  hens  that  have  not 
the  stamina  to  stand  up  under  modern 
methods  of  feeding  are  not  likely  to  be 
profitable  to  Lite  poult rj  man,  m.  b.  d.

Overtime  Incubation 
I  have  had  a  rather  peculiar  experi¬ 
ence  in  the  setting  of  a  dozen  White 
Wyandotte  eggs  which  were  set  muter  a 
good  faithful  hen  of  the  same  breed.  At 
the  expiration  of  21  days  there  was  ab¬ 
solutely  no  sign  of  the  eggs  hatching. 
Three  days  after  they  were  due.  one  of 
the  eggs  was  opened,  to  find  life,  but 
only  advanced  to  the  two-week  stage,  not 
being  feathered.  I  was  advised  to  dip  the 
remaining  1 1  in  warm  water,  aud  allow 
the  hen  to  sit  two  more  days,  which  I  did. 
with  no  results.  I  was  about  to  return 
the  hen  to  the  henhoose,  when  I  decided
