m answer to many questions about this egg- 
laying contest, the following facts are given: 
It is held at Storrs Postoilice In connection 
with the Connecticut Agricultural College. The 
contest begins November 1. There are 10 pul¬ 
lets in each pen. All the birds receive uniform 
treatment. The houses are all alike, and the 
feed is the same for all. The contest continues 
for one year. The weekly records cover the 
number of eggs laid for each pen in the current 
week, and also the total number of eggs laid 
since the first of last November. The contest 
will end November 1, at which time these birds 
will be removed, nnd another set of pullets 
entered for the next year.

THE KEYSTONE HATCHERY - RlchtUld, Pa. 
You could not produce these 
chicks yourself at twice the 
cost, and we take all the 
risk. We guarantee to de¬ 
liver every chick you buy 
alive and healthy. We will 
replace it or refund your 
money in case of loss. 
Every hen in the flocks that 
lay Kerr Chickery eggs is 
a pure bred, heavy laying, 
utility type, vigorous bird. 
They have the run of open 
farms, which keeps them in 
good condition. Many of 
our customers have won 
prizes with chickens raised 
from the chicks of these 
good breeders. 
The eggs are incubated by ex¬ 
perts who do nothing else. 
One reason why Kerr Chicks 
are sold so cheap is, the skill 
of these men keeps produc-. 
tion cost low by hatching a 
very high percentage of 
sturdy little chicks out of 
each setting. Our selling 
expense is low because we 
sell direct to you. 
Order the breed you like best. 
We have all the favorites.

Rations for Rabbits 
Could you "ive me information on feed¬ 
ing 1 rabbits for market, and what to feed 
a doe that is bred? How many rabbits 
can I keep in a hutch whose sleeping 
quarters are - ft. square and run is 4xlf 
it ? What kind of a vessel is best to 
water a rabbit? k. s. 
A cheap ration for rabbits is the fol¬ 
lowing : Mornings, one good handful of 
oats; evenings, two handsful of a mixture 
of four parts dried beet pulp (moistened 
and squeezed out), one part bran, one-lmlf 
part. Alfalfa meal. Clean water every 
day; keep hay before them all the time. 
A bred doe needs nothing more, except a 
few days before the litter is due, at which 
time some bread and milk or carrots and 
turnips ( roots) may be given at noontime 
ns extra meal. 
A hutch 6x2 ft. (2x2 ft. for sleeping 
and nesting quarters and 1x2 ft for run) 
is the proper size for one mature rabbit. 
It. is big enough for a doe with a litter 
until the young are of weaning age. at 
which time they should be taken from the 
mother’s hutch. 
The best container for water is an 
earthenware eup. 4 in. diameter, about 
2 l A in. high inside measure. The weight 
of cup will prevent the rabbits from turn¬ 
ing it upside down ; the height will allow 
the young to reach the water easily.
