THE EGG LAYING CONTEST. 
The nineteenth week of the contest 
shows a gain over the previous week of 
156 eggs; the gain of the eighteenth 
week over the seventeenth was 100 
eggs; the gain is still increasing. It 
required two figures to state the num¬ 
ber of eggs laid by every pen but one, 
and that was a pen of Black Minorcas 
which laid only seven eggs during the 
week. The English pen of White Leg¬ 
horns is still ahead of all others with 
a record of 369 eggs; 54 more than the 
next highest, Edgerton’s R. C. Reds, 
with 315 to their credit. The highest 
score for the week was from the pen 
of Dark Cornish, 30 eggs from a possi¬ 
ble 35. This has been exceeded once, 
when a pen of White Orpingtons laid 
31. Of this pen of Dark Cornish, one 
pullet laid seven eggs, three pullets laid 
six eggs each, and one five eggs during 
the week. The second place was taken 
by the pen of S. C. R. I. Reds from 
Colonial Farm, New Hampshire, with 
29 eggs; the third place by W. J. Til¬ 
ley’s White Plymouth Rocks with 28 
eggs. Four pens tied with 27 eggs each 
for fourth place. Eleven pullets laid 
every day in the week; five of them 
being Barred P. Rocks. 
The average for each pen of White 
Leghorns this week was 22.4 eggs; 
being 64% of the possible 35. The 
average for each of the 12 pens of 
Barred P. Rocks was 22.1 eggs. The 
White P. Rocks averaged 25 eggs for 
each pen, a 71.4% lay. The Buff Orping¬ 
tons averaged 25.25 eggs per pen; the 
White Orpingtons 22; the S'. C. Reds 
24.3; the R. C. Reds 20.6; the Colum¬ 
bian W'yandottes 22, the Black Mi¬ 
norcas 14, while the breeds of which 
but one pen was entered ranged all the 
way from 30 for the Dark Cornish to 
10 for the Houdans. The total num¬ 
ber of eggs laid during the week was 
2,148, being 62.6% of the possible total. 
This is a very good record for so many 
birds. When a man keeps 10 or 12 
hens only, he will get as many eggs in 
a day sometimes as he has hens; but 
if he keeps 100 hens, he would never 
get 100% of eggs. With 500 hens the 
percentage will be still less. White 
Leghorns are receiving a great boom 
as the result of this contest, and so is 
the whole poultry industry. Many of 
the daily papers are giving space to the 
weekly reports and people are getting 1 
the “hen fever,” especially those who 
have had to pay 60 to 75 cents for a 
dozen eggs this last Winter. Many a 
j city man who does not keep poultry 
I now but hopes to some day, is as 
intensely interested in these reports as 
the most enthusiastic hen man. An 
ex-Attorney General of the State of 
Connecticut once said to me “that he 
thought more city people read The 
R. N.-Y. than there were farmers who 
read it,” and I know men who never 
owned a farm and never intend to, who 
read The R. N.-Y. from cover to cover 
every week, and who don’t stop there, 
but frequently send in 10 cents for a 
trial subscription for some friend who 
they think ought to take it. I doubt 
if there is a paper in the United States 
that contains so large a proportion of 
warm friends in its subscription list as 
The R. N.-Y. geo a. cosgrove.

THE hinman milker 
Produces Suction Exactly like Hand-Milking 
T HIS principle of broken Vacuum means that pres¬ 
sure is exerted on teats gradually and not all at 
once. The result is that cows gives down naturally 
without fear, teats are kept clean and fresh from hand 
infection and the flow of milk is increased because 
the machine milks more uniform and thorough. 
Three Years Successful Operation 
Mr. John W. Jones, Morrisville, N. Y., has used 
4 Hinman Milking Machines in a dairy of 35 registered 
Holsteins. He writes:—

Hinman Milking Machine Co., 
Oneida, N. Y. 
Dear Sirs: — 
I have used the Hinman Milking Machine for over three years 
in a 35-cow dairy of thoroughbred Holstein cows, on an average in from 
45 to 50 minutes with four machines; using a3 power, a two-horse 
tread with one horse to run it. 
I find that with the machines, I get a larger flow of milk than by 
hand-milking and it does not take near as long to do the milking.

Whether you have 4 cows or 400 
cows you will find the Hinman Milker a 
money, time and labor saver.
