THE EGG-LAYING CONTEST. 
The twenty-fourth week of the egg- 
laying contest at Storrs College shows 
the astonishing record of 34 eggs out of 
the possible 35; the White Plymouth 
Rocks of W. J. Tilley are the champions 
of the contest so far as a weekly record 
is concerned. All the pullets laid every 
day except one that missed one day. It 
is doubtful if this record will be 
equalled during the contest. None of 
the White Leghorns have laid seven 
eggs in a week until this week; now 
three have done so; one in the pen of 
F. G. Yost, one of the Harwood Farm 
pen, and one of those astonishing birds 
of Thomas Barron of England. These 
White Leghorns still hold the lead for 
a total egg production with a record of 
485, followed closely by F. G. Yost’s 
Leghorns with a total of 455. Harwood 
Farm’s White Leghorns laid 30 eggs 
this week; Yost’s laid 29, Conyers Farm 
Leghorns laid 28. This week is bring¬ 
ing the Leghorns up among the high 
producers. The Barred Rocks of Top 
Notch Farm and the R. I. Reds of Co¬ 
lonial Farm each laid 31 eggs; and the 
Reds of Hrs. Harris Lehman laid 30. 
O. Wilson’s Buff Orpington pullet No. 
1 has laid 66 eggs in 70 days. Hore 
hens are broody, as was to be expected, 
and the record for the week falls off 
65 eggs on that account; but they laid 
2,341 eggs in the week, and that is 68 
per cent of the possible total. Everyone 
who visits the scene of the contest is 
enthusiastic about the appearance of the 
birds, their healthy and happy condi¬ 
tion, and the cleanly aspect of the pens, 
the abundant litter. Prof. Stoneburn, 
as the responsible head, has good cause 
to be proud of this contest. 
I notice that the English pen of White 
Leghorns have exceptionally large 
combs and most of them have frozen 
off the points or part of them. It must 
have been a tedious job to keep those 
large combs from freezing badly; Prof. 
Stoneburn told me they had to work 
night and day during that extreme cold 
spell. I cannot help referring again to 
the feasibility of cutting off combs and 
wattles of Leghorns on a commercial 
plant, and thus doing away with one of 
the objections in Winter to that breed. 
A sharp pair of scissors does the job 
quickly and easily, there isn’t anywhere 
near as much bleeding as one would an¬ 
ticipate, and it heals very quickly. In 
my experience White Leghorn chicks 
are rather hard to raise as a general 
thing. The plumage develops so rap¬ 
idly in some chicks that they are not 
able apparently to eat and assimilate 
sufficient food to withstand the drain 
upon the system. But by very careful 
selection of the most vigorous stock for 
breeders, and by avoiding inbreeding 
(which is the rock on which many poul¬ 
try plants go to pieces) ; also by using 
only mature birds for breeding stock, 
doubtless Leghorn chicks could be 
raised as easily as any other breed. The 
following table shows the average num¬ 
ber of eggs laid per bird of each breed 
since the contest began up to and in¬ 
cluding the twenty-third week:

This interesting table shows that the 
Buff Orpingtons have laid more eggs 
per bird than any other breed, with the 
Single Comb Reds second, and the Rose 
Comb Reds third. 
In concluding an article in the Phila¬ 
delphia North American Hr. Wilson 
Brooks of Illinois, an old poultryman, 
says, “I traveled 2,000 miles going to 
and returning from this contest. It zms 
worth every cent spent, and besides be¬ 
ing a great pleasure, I learned a great 
deal which will be helpful to me in the 
conduct of my own poultry business.” 
And lie advises anyone interested in 
poultry who gets within reaching dis¬ 
tance of Storrs this Summer, to be sure 
to visit the contest, geo. a. cosgrove.

Protect Your 
Poultry 
from all kinds of weather—rain and snow, heat 
and cold. To do so, you need a roofing for 
your poultry buildings that is rain-preof, snow- 
proof, heat-proof, cold-proof, time-proof and 
fire-resisting. RU-BER-OID is all of these. It lasts 
longer than metal or shingles, is easier 
to apply and costs less. 
(Accent on the “RU” and always spelled with one “B”) 
Is the cheapest roofing known, considered from 
the standpoint of 10 or 20 years’ service. It is the 
original smooth surface, ready-to-lay roofing. It is made of 
wool fabric, saturated and coated with RU-BER-OID Gum. 
When buying roofing always demand RU-BER-OID and remember, unless 
the RU-BER-OID Man is shown on the outside wrapper, the roofing is not 
^ the genuine RU-Ber- 010. The RU-BER-OID Man is your protection. Look for him. 
^ KA-lor-OID is the only permanently colored prepared roofing—
