T THE EGG-LAYING CONTEST. 
The nineteenth week of the contest shows 
the fowls still gaining in egg production, 
the number laid during the week being 
2,133, which is 55 more than were laid last 
week, and is almost 61 per cent of the pos¬ 
sible total if every hen laid every day. 
For a flock of 500 this is very good laying. 
Two pens make the high score of 31 eggs 
each, this week. This is the highest num¬ 
ber laid in one week since this contest be¬ 
gan. The pens are the Barred Plymouth 
Rocks from Woodside Poultry Farm, and 
the White Leghorns of A. B. Ilall, Buff 
Plymouth Rocks from E. S. Hooper, and 
Rhode Island Reds from llomer P. Deming, 
make the next highest score of 28 each. 
Five pens made scores of 27 ; they are T. 
W. Burns’ Silver Wyandottes; Will Bar¬ 
ron's White Wyandottes, lngleside Poultry 
Farm’s White Leghorns, Edward Cam's 
White Leghorns, and O. A. Foster's White 
Leghorns. Beulah Farm’s White Wyan¬ 
dottes laid 26, White Leghorn Poultry 
Yards laid 26, E. A. Jones’ White Leg¬ 
horns laid 26, and the White Orpingtons 
of Rockwell & Co. laid 26. Fifteen pens 
laid 25 eggs each, 10 of the 15 being 
White Leghorns. Thomas Barron's pen of 
English White Leghorns laid 25, and Ed¬ 
ward Cam’s pen of the same breed laid 27. 
Barron's pen still leads in the total score, 
as it has every week since the contest be¬ 
gan. Ilis total now is 411. Edward Cam 
is next with a total of 382. George H. 
Schmitz's Buff Leghorns are third with a 
record of 347. Edward Cam's White 
Wyandottes are fourth with a score of 340. 
Braeside Poultry Farm's White • Leghorns 
have a total of 315, and Dr. J. A. Fritchey’s 
S. C. Rhode Island Reds have laid 312. 
Thirty-tnree pens have records of 200 to 
297. * Nine of the reserve birds haye now 
been put in to replace birds that have died 
or been removed for some cause. 
The Buttercups began laying this week, 
one pullet laying two eggs. All the pens 
are now laying. There were only 34 birds 
out of the whole 500 that did not lay an 
egg this week. Of the 500 birds 205 are 
from the State of Pennsylvania, and 115 
are from Connecticut. The average pro¬ 
duction per pen would be one of the best 
ways to compare the different breeds, if 
the same number of pens of each breed 
were entered. But as the number of pens 
entered of each breed Varies so much in 
this contest, no fair comparison can be 
made. As they stand, the result is as

Two pens of the White Wyandottes have 
laid only 44 and 47 eggs. Cutting out 
these two pens, the other nine pens have 
laid 2,273: making the average for the 
nine pens 252.5 eggs per pen. This would 
give the White Wyandottes the highest egg 
production of any breed up to date.

Selecting Layers. 
Have poultrymen ever experimented on 
natural lines to discover the good laying 
hens without resorting to trap-nests or 
other artificial methods? I have been doing 
this thing for the last seven years, and 
am now fully convinced that I can do so 
through the molt, and this year have culled 
accordingly and will only hatch from good 
layers. I have always thought hens should 
not be played out after their first or second 
season, as at this latter age they only 
seem to have got to their prime, and if 
they are naturally good they are so for 
several years, and a poor one is so the 
first season and always will be. I have 
been stimulated to do this, as I have al¬ 
ways had an aversion to hatching and 
killing large numbers every year, and I 
think by working on these lines I can Im¬ 
prove my flock each year and retain num¬ 
bers by‘hatching less. I would like your 
comments on this. R. b. 
There have been many efforts made to 
devise some method of identifying the best- 
laying hens without the use of trap-nests, 
and several secret “systems” for doing this 
have been advertised. So far as we know, 
none of these has ever made good under 
impartial tests, and they have little or no 
standing with practical poultrymen. There 
are ways of picking out the best layers, 
however, that should be better known than 
they are; among these may be noted the 
selection of the early layers and late molt- 
ers. Leg band, or otherwise mark, the pul¬ 
lets that commence laying first and when 
any of these are found to be still ragged 
after the rest have acquire a full suit of 
new feathers, you may know that they 
have continued laying after the others 
stopped and have made the best yearly 
record. Good layers among the yellow¬ 
legged breeds will he found to have “laid 
out” the yellow of their shanks at the close 
of the season : they will also be the early 
risers and last to retire at night, hunting 
early and late for something to eat; they 
also" go to bed with full crops, being the 
most hearty eaters, as they have to he to 
produce the most eggs. m. b. d. 
Non-fertile Eggs. 
Would you give me light on non-fertile 
eggs? I was informed that you can get 
extra prices for such eggs, 50 to 75 cents a 
dozen, and if so, tell me how it’s done. 
By this, I mean from chick on till laying 
time, or if it is only not to have any 
males with them, or must it be as said— 
not any time from chick to laying hen? 
Pennsylvania. s. e. b. 
The exact length of time that lien eggs 
will remain fertile after the removal of all 
males from the flock is not definitely known, 
and is probably variable. As a practical 
rule, however, eggs may be considered in¬ 
fertile after two weeks have elapsed from 
the time of the removal of the males. In¬ 
fertile eggs keep better than those that 
have been fertilized but are not superior 
in any other respect, and do not bring 
higher prices than fertile eggs of the same 
degree of freshness. m. b. d. 
Keeping Hatching Eggs. 
I have some white Pekin ducks, which 
arc now laying. I would like to use the 
eggs for hatching, but none of the ducks 
or hens want to sit. I am saving the eggs 
but was afraid I may hold them too long. 
How long can I save duck or hen eggs 
and still be good for hatching, providing 
I keep them in a cool place? j. a. m. 
New Jersey. 
Hen eggs lose their hatchabillty rapidly 
after two weeks, and should not be kept 
longer than that if possible to avoid it, 
though many, of course, will hatch after 
a much longer time. I have had no experi¬ 
ence^ with duck eggs, but am told by a 
breeder that they deteriorate even more 
rapidly than hen eggs. As the germ of hen 
eggs will begin to develop at a continued 
temperature of 70 degrees, you will under¬ 
stand the necessity of keeping them at as 
low a temperature as practicable while sav¬ 
ing them for hatching. From 40 to 50 de¬ 
grees is none too low. m. b. d. 
Weakened Hens. 
I have a pen of S. C. Black Minorcas. 
They matured well and laid extra well 
during December. My coop became damp; 
their roosts were next a wall without an 
air space, which became dripping wet; con¬ 
sequently my pullets all caught cold. 1 
lined the house, leaving an air space, put 
muslin over the windows and cut ventilator 
in the ceiling, covering it with layer of 
straw and placed the roosts away from the 
wall. My hens appeared to get'over their 
colds (after much doctoring). Their combs, 
wattles and faces are red and appear vig¬ 
orous, but they don’t lay as they ought. 
They lay a good many soft-shelled eggs 
and almost every night I find one or two 
on the floor, hardly able to stand. I give 
them a dose of oil and they appear all 
right in the morning. They have oyster 
shells, grit, charcoal, etc., before them all 
the time and a hopper of mash. I feed 
scratch feed morning and night in litter. 
I find they are all very heavy. I have fed 
wet feed, cooked vegetables mixed with grain 
and green cabbage each day. I also notice 
the hens that are down, cough and have 
a bunch in their throat. What is the 
trouble, and what can I do? s. n. u. 
New York. 
Your liens have evidently not fully recov¬ 
ered from the set-back which their Winter 
colds gave them, and a few may be perma¬ 
nently useless as layers. The best treat¬ 
ment now is attention to their food and 
giving them their liberty as soon as weather 
conditions will permit. You have probably 
fed them rather too heavily upon the wet 
mash, and I think that you will get bet¬ 
ter results in health by feeding them 
ground grains dry. As you seem to have 
taken all the necessary measures to correct 
the cause of the trouble, you can only wait 
patiently for the fowls to recover' their 
tone, when they will probably lay satisfac¬ 
torily again. You have evidently learned 
the greatest lesson in poultry housing, that 
is, that it is impossible to keep a henhouse 
dry and healthful in the Winter unless it 
has at all times a free circulation of air 
through it. A double wall with an atr 
space is of little consequence, since without 
free circulation of air through the house, 
it is of no practical value, and with such 
circulation, it is not needed. M. b. I>.
