THE CHAMPION POULTRY PICKER. 
[In our hunt for men, animals or plants 
which are capable of doing superior work 
we heard of Baptiste Diabo. lie claims to 
be able to dress chickens faster than any 
other man in America. That is a worthy 
ambition—quite as much so as the ability 
to run faster or fight harder than any rival. 
Mr. Diabo’s claim seemed incredible to 
many, so we have hunted for proof—and 
offer the following.] 
I am secretary of the Thousand 
Islands Poultry and Pet Stock Associa¬ 
tion of Clayton, and at our annual ex¬ 
hibition of February 6, 7, and 8, Baptiste 
Diabo gave exhibitions each day, before 
hundreds of onlookers, who will vouch 
for the truthfulness of this statement. 
He wet-picked four chickens in one min¬ 
ute 21 seconds. Next he wet-picked 
six chickens in one minute, 53 seconds. 
Pie gave other equally fast picking ex¬ 
hibitions, but was not timed. Many 
watches were held on him in the two 
exhibitions given, and the time as given 
is correct. Pie is no doubt the fastest 
chicken picker in the country, and he is 
willing to meet all comers, and has 
many who will back him in contests of 
this kind. He has dressed 60 chickens, 
taking them from crate, killing them and 
scalding and picking in 30 minutes. 
Baptiste Diabo is a man 34 years of 
age, weight 120 pounds, and of French 
and Indian parentage. He has from 
boyhood been employed as butcher and 
had much to do with dressing poultry, 
and along this line he has acquired many 
new and novel methods of killing and 
dressing poultry. He uses a knife of 
desired shape blade, sticking the fowl in 
mouth, piercing the brain at a spot that 
causes the feathers of fowl to fall off 
at the least effort. This method is used 
and taught by instructors from the vari¬ 
ous State agricultural colleges; but none, 
we believe, is able to do the work with 
the speed attained by Diabo. He is also 
very fast at dry-picking, and he claims 
to have made almost as remarkable a 
record dry-picking. He has many times 
taken a broiler, killing, dressing and 
placing it in broiler ready for fire inside 
of one minute. Let it be understood 
also that in doing this the fowl is prop¬ 
erly prepared, and free from feathers, 
and looks as neat as if prepared by most 
painstaking poultry dresser.

THE EGG-LAYING CONTEST. 
In the twenty-seventh week of the con¬ 
test 2187 eggs were laid, a drop of 23 eggs 
from the preceding week. Broodiness will 
keep the record down for a few weeks. 
Some of the pens that were late in start¬ 
ing are making up for it now, and will 
make a good showing before the contest is 
over. The White Leghorns are laying sur¬ 
prisingly. considering how long they have 
been at it. 0£ the 30 pens only one laid 
less than 20 eggs, while one pen laid 
29, four pens 28 each, two pens 27, 
five pens 26, and six pens 25 each. The 
English pen of White Leghorns still keeps 
the lead : they laid 26 eggs this week; 
their total score is 561. F. G. Yost is sec¬ 
ond with 539; Marwood Poultry Farm 
third with 504. All these are White Leg¬ 
horns. The Single Comb R. I. Reds of 
Bunker Hill Poultry Farm are fourth with 
501 ; 29 pens have scores of over 400. In 
the Buff Orpingtons four pens are entered 
and tiro score is 482, 467, 435 and 400. 
Three of the five pens of White Orpingtons 
score over 400. W. J. Tilley's White P. 
Rocks lead the week’s record with 31 eggs. 
This is tire third week in succession that 
these birds have beaten all others in the 
contest, the weekly scores being 34, 33 and 
31 out of a possible 35. But the pullet 
that lias beaten all others for continuous 
laying is O. Wilson’s Buff Orpington pullet 
No. 1 ; she has laid 145 eggs in 168 days. 
Next to her comes McLeod Bros’. White 
Wyandotte No. 5. with 119 eggs; Thomas 
Barron's White Leghorn No. 1 has laid 
118 and F. G. Yost’s White Leghorn No. 1, 
116; Mrs. Harris Lehman’s R. I. Red No. 4, 
116; Bunker Hill Farm’s Red No. 2, 115 ; 
C. S. Scoville’s R. I. Red hen No. 1, 114, 
and there are 23 others of different breeds 
with records of 100 or over. These 31 
best layers have laid 3244 eggs in less than 
six mouths. 
The amount of food consumed in the 
week April 24 to 30 has been tabulated and 
given out. It discloses some singular facts 
as to the different amounts consumed, as 
well as the kind of food preferred. Four 
pens did not eat any dry mash at all, and 
four pens consumed six pounds each of it, 
and six pens five pounds or over. All con¬ 
sumed the beet pulp ration of one-sixtli of 
a pound. A. J. Clark's Barred Rocks ate 
over 15 pounds of scratch feed and dry 
mash and laid 26 eggs; the smallest eaters 
were R. S. Roberts’ Buff Orpingtons, eating 
only 5.5 pounds and laying 14 eggs. The 
White Leghorns of Toms River Farm ate 
15.2 pounds and laid 26 eggs. Pens 59 and 
60, also White Leghorns, ate 13 and 13.9 
pounds and laid 27 and 28 eggs respectively. 
In every case where a small amount was 
eaten the egg output was also small. The 
Leghorns ate nearly as much food as the 
larger breeds, with the exception of the 
Barred Rocks, which consumed the most 
food of any breed. The 12 pens of Barred 
Rocks ate 150.6 pounds of food and laid 
296 eggs, which ts 5.087 pounds per egg. 
The 12 pens of R. I. Reds ate 123.5 pounds 
of food and laid 248 eggs, which is 4.9S 
pounds per egg. The first 12 pens of 
White Leghorns ate 139.7 pounds of food 
and laid 300 eggs, which is about 4.66 
pounds per egg. The Orpingtons ate 88.1 
pounds and laid 177 eggs, which is 4.92 
pounds per egg. The White Wyandottes 
ate 80.6 pounds and laid 159 eggs, which 
is 5.06 pounds of food per egg. The White 
P. Rocks ate 49.6 pounds and laid 116 eggs, 
which is 4.27 pounds per egg. Only the dry 
mash and scratch food is calculated in the 
above; the green food was only one-sixth 
of a pound per pen. Beet pulp H exceed¬ 
ingly light before it is wetted for feeding. 
When this contest is ended and the full 
report is made, it will be a very interesting 
and important document The contest is to 
be continued for another year and the 
same birds may be continued or a new pen 
entered as the competitor may desire.

PRICES FOR EGGS. 
On page 610 you print a letter headed 
“Inconsistent Egg Prices,” and your com¬ 
ment on same. The prices as quoted are; 
Fresh gathered extras, 23-23% cents; re¬ 
frigerator special charges paid, 37-38 cents; 
nearby hennery, whites, etc., 26-27 cents. 
Now the fact, is the refrigerator special 
quotation is a misprint, the prices given 
under that head having been the prices of 
duck eggs at the time—-about three weeks 
since—that the other quotations were made 
by the Mercantile Exchange. [We were 
not responsible for these prices. They 
were printed as our correspondent sent 
them.—Eds.] The quotation on white 
hennery was correct, and in that connec¬ 
tion I wish to say that the Exchange quo¬ 
tation is used only as a basis on which 
to make returns to shippers. Fancy white 
hennery are never sold by the commission 
houses at less than three to six cents per 
dozen above printed quotations. I have 
several retailers buying eggs from me at 
three cents to five cents above New York 
tops, and one city salesman for one of the 
large egg commission houses, who shares a 
case a week with friends because he cannot 
get eggs in the market that he can be 
sure of. Still at this season of the year 
I always have a surplus that I am forced 
to ship on commission, so I must submit 
to being robbed of the difference between 
quoted prices and selling prices. I have 
tried most of the responsible egg commis¬ 
sion houses, and they are all alike. On 
several occasions I ran short of eggs for 
my trade, went to commission houses that 
I had made shipments to, was forced to pay 
premiums that had never been paid me, and 
in each of those instances got a kick from 
my customers that the eggs were hot up 
to grade. Then I had to “fess up” to my 
customers that I'd run short and got the 
best on the market. If the shippers of 
lower grade eggs get robbed too I'm sorry 
for them. Possibly they get full returns. 
One commission man frankly told me 
that he returned quoted tops on day of 
arrival and sold as much higher as possible.

Plums in Poultry Yard. 
In reply to question about plums In 
poultry yard, I find that with me they 
grow and fruit there the best, and are one 
of the most profitable kinds on the place. 
For over 30 years we have been growing 
plums here, and every year replacing worn- 
out trees. One year I had a bumper crop, 
having plums for sale for six weeks. I 
remember one tree gave me five bushels of 
fruit. My selection of trees would be in 
blues Lombard and Shipper’s Pride, in 
green gages, Reine Claude first and Yel¬ 
low Egg. Leave the Japanese varieties 
alone. I never spray here; the poultry 
keep the cureulio down; the leaves of the 
trees are almost perfect. G. h.

A Gray-haired Egg. 
Here is the story of a gray-haired egg 
sent by a reader. Some of these eggs 
hatch out a romance—this one brings only 
a kick at old age. 
“Westminster, Md., April 13.—Some time 
between a year and a half and two years 
ago John Brown, an employe of D. Fred 
Englar, a provision dealer in Union Bridge, 
while crating eggs for shipment to Balti¬ 
more, wrote his name and address on one 
of them. Throe days ago he received a 
postal card from Miss Edna Brashear of 
Ilchester, Md., informing him that she had 
purchased an egg with his name and ad¬ 
dress written upon it. As he had not 
written his name on another egg in the 
meantime, it was undoubtedly the one upon 
which he placed his signature so many 
months ago. The occurrence might have 
become the opening chapter in a romance 
but for the fact that since writing his 
name as stated Mr. Brown lias been mar¬ 
ried. The whereabouts of that egg during 
all this time, however, is a matter of in¬ 
terest. It was probably in cold storage. 
Miss Brashear did not inform Mr. Brown 
whether it was purchased as a fresh prod¬ 
uct.” 
Egg-Eating Dogs. —On page 509, Mrs. 
R. H. B. asks for information about hot 
stuff for egg-eating dogs. I have had simi¬ 
lar trouble, and found that pups just learn¬ 
ing to eat eggs can sometimes be cured by 
painting an egg with tincture of capsicum, 
letting it dry and then putting it where 
the dog can get it. I have never known a 
dog that could eat one. I tasted a doc¬ 
tored eggshell once to see if it was right, 
and really believe a red-hot stove would 
have given me frozen lips by suddenlv low¬ 
ering the temperature. Alcohol is best re¬ 
mover of capsicum from fingers after using, 
for if eyes are rubbed with fingers you 
will shed the novelists’ “scalding tears.” 
It is not poison. m. a. p.

Don’t Be a Clam! 
I F you are interested in S. C. White LEGHORNS you had better find out where DARLINGTON 
ts and be quick about it. DARLINGTON was here before you were born. You will hear from 
DARLINGTON. DARLINGTON is famous for its pretty girls and its homely men. If you don’t 
find out where DARLINGTON is you will surely be a clam. Just suppose for one moment you 
were a clam. Imagine a clam eating buckwheat cakes and sausages. Imagine a clam in love. 
Then get out your map at once. When you have found where DARLINGTON is you have found 
where the DAltLINGTON EGG FARM is located. It is DARIJNGTON. There you can see 1,000 
breeders in one flock and house. Yon can get eggs for hatching that for size make the Ostrich 
blush. In fact you can get anything you want in the Leghorn line. And you will get fair honest 
treatment and a square deal.
