THE EGG-LAYING CONTEST. 
The expected has happened. F. G. Yost’s 
pen of White Leghorns have overtaken and 
passed the English pen; the latter having 
lost two birds by death, has but four now 
to compete witli the five in other pens. 
Yost’s birds lead at the close of the twenty- 
ninth week, the scores being 596 by Yost’s 
to 595 by the English pen. Whether the 
English pen would have continued to lead 
or not of course cannot be known, but they 
certainly put up a good fight for the lead 
until two of their number died, when the 
handicap was too much for them. Broodi¬ 
ness is at its height now, and the result 
is another drop in weekly production. The 
loss this week is 98 eggs; the total pro¬ 
duction for the week is 2,000 eggs. Brood- 
incss has taken the lead away from the 
American breeds, for weekly high scores, 
and this week the Leghorns come to the 
front with the highest number for the 
week, 29 eggs; three pens, Toms Poultry 
Farm, Paul Van Deusen’s, and Culleneross 
Farms, each laying 29 eggs. The Barred 
Rocks of Robert .1. Warden and Alfred B. 
Wilson, the White Rocks of W. .1. Tilley, 
and five pens of White Leghorns laid 28 
eggs each. For the first time in months 
the White Leghorns have made the highest 
weekly score. This contest has been a good 
thing for White Leghorn breeders. I know 
of oiie breeder of that variety who has been 
obliged to turn away orders for thousands 
of eggs for hatching which he could not 
fill. The demonstration which this contest 
has given that with proper food and hous¬ 
ing they will lay in Winter as many eggs 
as the larger breeds, has given the Leg¬ 
horns a boom as utility fowls that will go 
far to overcome the small size that makes 
them less desirable as a table fowl. The 
average output for the week of the differ¬ 
ent breeds shows the White Leghorns lead¬ 
ing all the others, the 30 pens having laid 
766 eggs, an average per pen of 25.5; the 
next best were tbe Black Minorcas, the four 
pens laying 99 eggs, an average of 24.75 
per pen. The four pens of White Rocks 
laid 85 eggs, average 21.2; Barred Rocks, 
12 pens. 250 eggs, average 20.8 per pen. 
O. Wilson’s Buff Orpington pullet No. 1 
still leads for continuous performance 
with a score of 170 eggs since November 
12 , when she began. Her nearest competi¬ 
tor is F. G. Yost’s White Leghorn No. 1, 
with a score of 137, 33 eggs behind. In 
the egg-laying contest now running in Mis¬ 
souri. there are more birds than in the 
"North American's” contest at Stores, but 
the average score per bird is larger in the 
Storrs contest. This speaks well for the 
system of feeding, housing, care, etc., at 
Stprrs. The average is 69+ at Storrs. 64 + 
at the Missouri contest. At Storrs the 
highest scoring bird reached 152 in six 
months, the Missouri highest was 137, 
made by a S. C. R. I. Red. The Storrs 
highest score was made by O. Wilson’s 
Buff Orpington. The highest scoring breed 
in Missouri were the Black Orpingtons, 83 
eggs; at Storrs tin* Buff Orpingtons laid 
85.4. Storrs also excels in the highest 
score per pen of any breed. 535. by White 
Leghorns, against 524 by Black Orpingtons 
in the Missouri contest.

The Free Dispensary for Animals con¬ 
ducted by the New York Woman's League 
for Animals at 395 Lafayette street, this 
city, treated, during 1911, 5,135 dogs. 1,419 
eats and 639 horses. An important part 
of the work of the League is to give lec¬ 
tures at various schools, churches, settle¬ 
ments and other institutions where a spe¬ 
cial appeal in behalf of animals may be 
made to children. 
CROPS AND PRICES. 
The acreage of potatoes in Kansas is 
small; only about one-third of what it 
was last year. The two reasons for this 
are the high price of seed and the late 
Spring. The weather in Kansas was very 
bad until the first part of April, and to 
plant and raise potatoes successfully here 
they should be in the ground early in 
March, but this season it was toward the 
latter part of April before planting was 
done, and then the high price of seed 
held down the acreage under normal.

Bethel, Vt. a. m. m.

•ws will be better than last year. Fruit 
plenty except apples, which will bo a light 
crop. Farm work has keen much delayed

The cheese factory paid for April milk 
$1.05 to $1.10 per 100 pounds; Ashtabula 
creamery buying at Elgin prices, paid $1.18 
per 100 pounds: the Pittsburgh and Ohio 
Creamery Co.. $1.50 per 100 pounds, but 
this company is not doing much. The in¬ 
spector has condemned so many barns farm¬ 
ers are selling off their cattle and jjoing 
out of the business before they will raise 
their barns and cement the floor and build 
milkhouses. I am in favor of it, as it will 
be better for the cattle and for those caring 
for them. Butter, 26 cents ; eggs, to trade, 
18 cents per dozen ; cash, 17 cents; chick¬ 
ens, old. 14 cents, live weight. w. s.
