BUY BABY CHICKS AND AVOID WORRY ANO LOSS 
I have my own pens of breeding stock, carefully bred 
for largo egg production as well ns exhibition purposes. 
For twenty years I have given special attention to a 
Strain that develops and matures early so as to come 
into laying in the fewest possible number of days. That 
is why my May and June hatched chicks do so well. This 
year they are especially desirable because of the late 
Spring, which has hindered so many who depend on 
hens and small incubators. 
Head what one of my customers writes of my baby chicks: 
The chicks that I bought of you last Spring 
are giving close to 70% egg production this 
month, December, when “ eggs are eggs.” 
They seem to take great delight in laying. 
R. V. Rex, Uniontown, Pa. 
We guarantee to fill all orders with properly hatched, 
vigorous chicks, that will improve your flock, or start 
you right in the poultry business. All chicks are hatched 
in a 6.B00 egg mammoth and 15 sand tray Prairie State 
incubators with perfectly sanitary surroundings, and 
receive the benefit of my twenty-three years’ experience 
in artificial incubation.

THE EGG-LAYING CONTEST. 
The twenty-sixth week of the contest 
ended April 30. Just half of the year has 
gone, and in that time the 490 birds have 
laid 34,011 eggs. The average per bird is a 
fraction less than 70, but it must be remem¬ 
bered that all the Winter months are in¬ 
cluded in this first half of the year. At 
present there is a falling off in the egg 
yield owing to the broodiness of the larger 
breeds, this week’s output being just 100 
eggs less than last week. Some of the 
American breeds do not show any falling 
off, notably W. J. Tilley's White P. Hocks, 
which broke the record last week with a 
score of 34, and this week have led all 
the rest again with a score of 33. Heed & 
Lloyd's Barred Hocks, and K. J. Walden's 
Barred Hocks have each laid 30 eggs, as 
did the White Orpingtons of Alba Brothers. 
Seven pens of It. 1. lteds, White and Barred 
Hocks and White Orpingtons laid 20 eggs 
each. It is a rather singular fact that the 
White Leghorns appear so seldom among 
the high scorers, but their heavy laying at 
the beginning of the contest gave them a 
start that the other breeds have not yet 
been able to overcome. F. G. Yost's White 
Leghorns are now only 24 eggs behind the 
English pen which still holds the first place 
on the total output with 535 eggs, Yost 
being next with 511. The third place is 
held by the White Wyandottes of Beulah 
Farm, Ontario, with a score of 493. W. J. 
Tilley's White Hocks win the silver medal 
for the highest score in April, 135 eggs 
out of the possible 150. E. W. Crocker’s 
White Hocks, Top Notch Farm's Barred 
Rocks, and F. G. Yost’s White Leghorns 
each laid 124 eggs during the month ; it 
will require three medals to fill the claims 
for second place for the month. Henry D. 
Riley's Barred Hocks win third place—bronze 
medal—with a score of 123 eggs. There is 
being compiled the record which each bird 
has made since the contest began last No¬ 
vember, and it is expected to be ready for 
publication next week. The Buff Orpingtons 
have made the highest average per bird 
of any breed, the score being 85.4 per bird ; 
the next highest 81.2 by the Single Comb 
It. I. Reds, Buff Wjandottes taking third 
place with an average per bird of 78 eggs. 
The Philadelphia “North American” has 
offered a valuable silver cup to be com¬ 
peted for at the big poultry show to be 
held at Atlantic City, N J., beginning 
June 24. This is the first time that a poul¬ 
try show has been started that is to last 
three months. It will be something of a 
strain on the birds to be penned up for 
that length of time unless different pens 
are used from those usually found at poul¬ 
try shows. But it will be a great adver¬ 
tisement with 40.000 visitors a day for 
three months, which is last year’s attend¬ 
ance at Young’s Pier, where the show is to 
be held. geo. a. cosgrove. 
Eggs in Water-glass. 
Would you tell me if I could keep eggs 
with water-glass in a vessel without being 
airtight? I have a can of the water-glass 
and the directions say it should be airtight 
and I have never used it yet. but would 
like to put eggs in it while they are so 
cheap. How long can eggs be kept with 
water-glass? j. w. 
Drifting, Pa. 
The vessel containing the undiluted 
water-glass is kept airtight to avoid loss 
by evaporation. When used for preserving 
eggs the water-glass is diluted with nine 
times its volume of cold water which has 
been boiled to sterilize it. This Is put in 
a glass, earthenware or wooden container; 
and the eggs kept immersed under the sur¬ 
face of the water-glass solution. The con¬ 
tainer is closed by a lid to keep out dust 
and lessen evaporation, but is not neces¬ 
sarily sealed airtight. We do not have 
any information as to the length of time 
eggs may be kept thus ; some of our friends 
report them in good condition 10 or 12 
months after packing, but they are ordi¬ 
narily used during the scarce time of the 
following Winter. 
Apples and Beet Pulp for Hens. 
On page 566 the Linwood Farm asks 
about beet pulp. “We were told others were 
using it and sent for a trial order of 500 
pounds. The birds refuse to eat it and 
after repeated trials we gave it up entirely. 
They would either throw the mash out of 
the troughs trying to find places where 
there wasn’t any pulp, or leave it uneaten.” 
I would suggest a small trial as they may 
have birds of different tastes. To our 
minds the most satisfactory, interesting 
and expeditions manner of disposing of 
No. 2 apples is to hold them until the 
chickens are ready for them, about one 
week after hatching. Drive eight or 10- 
penny nails in a row about six inches 
apart in a board three to five feet long. 
Screw up your apple parer, and impale 
a peeled apple on each nail. However bad 
a ease of confirmed dyspepsia a person has 
he will have a great laugh which will do 
him good to see those apples melt away.

Depluming Mite; Scaly Leg. 
Will you tell me what is the trouble 
with my fowls? They seem well, but are 
losing all their head feathers. I feed beef 
scrap, ground feed, corn and wheat and 
oil meal. What is the best remedy for 
scaly legs? c. B. 
Port Jefferson, N. Y. 
A small mite, known as the depluming 
mite, which burrows beneath the skin of 
the head and neck, causing intense irrita¬ 
tion. redness, and loss of feathers, is re¬ 
sponsible for your fowls’ baldness, and a 
similar mite, living beneath the large scales 
of the shanks, produces the condition 
known as scaly logs. For the former trouble 
rub sulphur ointment thoroughly into the 
affected parts, and for the latter apply 
kerosene either in the form of ointment, 
made up with lard or vaseline, or as a 
dip for the fowls’ legs. m. b. d.
