THE EGG-LAYING CON LEST. 
The twenty-fourth week of the contest 
shows a slight gain in egg production, the 
number laid during the week being 2,20.3 ; 
this is 26 more than were laid last week. 
The White Leghorns laid 1,036, which is 
IT less than they laid the previous week. 
But the even and steady laying of the 
Leghorn pens is quite notable; only two 
birds out of the 215, failed to lay during 
the week. The lowest number any pen of 
the White Leghorns laid was 17 : two pens 
laid 19; all of the other 40 pens laid 
between 20 and 30. Comparine this with 
the laying of some of the other breeds 
we find that out of 40 Barred Bocks seven 
birds did not lay an egg; out of 10 White 
Rocks one did not lay; out of 55 White 
Wyandottes three did not produce an egg; 
out of 40 S. C. Rhode Island Reds, only 
one bird did not lay; out oi 25 R. C. Rhode 
Island Reds, live did 1 not produce an egg; 
out of 20 White Orpingtons, six did not 
lay, from which it will be seen that for 
steady egg production the White Leghorns 
lead. 
There will be a glad little woman out 
In the mountains of Idaho, when the mail 
brings Mrs. H. F. Haynes the news that 
her pen of White Wyandottes-—which she 
sent on horseback and by coach 55 miles 
to the nearest railroad, and 2.500 miles 
by rail to the contest—made the highest 
score for the week, viz., 30. even though 
W. L. Sleegur's pen of White Leghorns 
tie with the same number. Mrs. Hayes’ 
Wyandottes are well up in the total score 
also, having laid 375. 
Two pens of White Leghorns tie for sec¬ 
ond place with records of 29 each. They 
are the White Leghorn Poultry Yards, and 
F. A. Jones' pen. Beulah Farms White 
Wyandottes laid 28; Howard Steel's S. C. 
R. I. Reds, 28; Eglantine Farm’s White 
Leghorns, 28 ; Ingleside Farm’s White Leg¬ 
horns, 28; A. P. Robinson's White Leg¬ 
horns, 28, and Mt. Orchard Poultry Farm’s 
Buff Orpingtons, 28. Five pens laid 27 
each, four of the five being White Leghorn 
pens. 
Thomas Barron’s pen of White Leghorns 
laid 26, and Edward Cam’s pen, 23 ; these 
two pens continue to lead in the totrfl 
score, with records of 546 and 489. Ed¬ 
ward Cam leads in the White Wyandottes 
also, Ins pen having a total of 444. Beulah 
Farm’s White Wyandottes have a record 
of 426; George P. Dearborn's S. C. Rhode 
Island Reds, 415; Dr. J. A. Fritchey’s pen 
of the same breed, 408; and O. A. Foster’s 
pen of White Leghorns, 42S ; Braeside Poul¬ 
try Farm’s White Leghorns, 430; but the 
highest score of any American pen is made 
by George II. Schmitz's Buff Leghorns, their 
record being 467. The total number of 
eggs laid to date is 29,878.

’The Californian Egg Contest. 
The ninth week of the Napa County 
(Cal.) egg-laying contest showed a marked 
falling off in the egg receipts per pen. This 
is accounted for by the fact that the week 
was remarkably hot for this season of 
the year, and the weather affected the hens 
most noticeably. Another fact worth no¬ 
tice is that out of the first five pens, three 
are of the American breeds, the second and 
third pens are Barred Rocks and the fourth 
are Buff Wyandottes; the first and fifth 
arc White Leghorns, but it must also be 
borne in mind that there are 26 pens of 
White Leghorns and a relatively small 
number of the American breeds, and only 
one pen of Buff Wyandottes, which pen has 
been among the high yielders from the 
beginning. To show what effect the hot 
Weather had on the pens, even the first pen 
of White Leghorns dropped from a yield 
of 31 the previous week, to 17 the past 
weerk; a pen of Buff Orpingtons from Ne¬ 
braska dropped from 33 to 13; the Buff 
Wyandottes from 29 to 15, and this was 
so in every pen all down the line; some 
of the pens laying only five, seven, eight 
and nine this past week. The record to 
date for the leading 15 pens is as follows:

It must he borne in mind that these birds 
are confined all in one large building, and 
do not get outdoors at all; how they will 
stand the confinement when Summer 
weather arrives remains to be seen, but 
that there will be some interesting data 
forthcoming at the end of the year cannot 
be doubted. w. h. pearson.

“Camden, N. J., April 22.—When Mr

Feather-pulling Fowls 
What can be done for Leghorn fowls who 
eat off the feathers of other chickens until 
the breasts and backs are almost bare? 
They are splendid layers and have laid 
well all Winter, and still seem to have 
plenty of eggs. Some think there is no 
cure and that they will have to be killed. 
Pennsylvania. t. m. r. 
This vice is most apt to he seen among 
fowls that have been closely confined and 
fed upon a too limited diet, usually contain¬ 
ing an excess of corn. Idleness and a de¬ 
praved appetite resulting from Indigestion 
are probably at the bottom of the trouble 
We would separate the worst offenders 
from the rest of the flock and give them 
all as free range as possible, at the same 
time seeing to it that their rations con¬ 
tained a sufficiency of animal food like 
skim-milk or beef scrap, that they had a va¬ 
riety of grains and plenty of grit, oyster 
shell, and charcoal. With the possible excep¬ 
tion of one or two of the worst culprits, 
we do not believe that you will find it 
necessary to kill those birds that have 
formed this vicious habit. M. B. D. 
Fowls in Small Run. 
I have a good chicken coop and have 
a run about 30 feet by 25. The coop Is 
16x8 feet. How many chickens do you think 
will do well in that kind of a coop? I am 
going to have White Leghorns. What kind 
of grass could I plant in the yard, as I 
have got to keep them shut up? I am 
going to cut the yard in two so it will give 
the grass a chance to grow. I have seen 
some plant in a chicken run, like cabbage, 
but it was about three feet high. Please 
tell me the name, for I think it is good 
stuff. A. F. 
Warren, O. 
You should be able to keep from 40 to 50 
hens in such a house as you describe, 
though you will find it difficult to keep 
green stuff of any kind upon a yard of 
that size. As you cannot have a permanent 
sod, you will probably find it best to sow 
oats, barley, or rye upon one-naif the run 
and turn the fowls upon that after It has 
reached a height of several inches, sowing 
the other side at the same time. The plant 
that you saw was probably Dwarf Essex 
rape. This may be sown at any time 
through the Summer, will reach edible size 
in from six to eight weeks, and a small 
patch well cultivated upon rich ground will 
furnish a very large amount of green forage 
for your fowls. m. b. d. 
Incubation Troubles: Turkeys and Guineas 
with Hens. 
What do you think of Columbian Wyan¬ 
dottes? Are they considered good sitters? 
I have a pen of 15 pullets, two of which 
sit very early and the 13 others, from 
February 23 to April 18 (55 days) they 
have laid 278 eggs. Twice in that time 
the 13 have laid 14 eggs in one day. 
What breed do you consider best for sit¬ 
ting? Do you think a person could run an 
Incubator successfully (having had no 
experience), by carefully following direc¬ 
tions? I took 150 eggs to be hatched in 
incubators, by a poultry farm man and 
only got 23 chicks (not counting a few 
cripples) about five of which died. I paid 
him 83. Many others around here lost 
heavily, by giving him expensive eggs 
to hatch, some not even getting as many 
ns myself, yet receiving bills for full 
amount. Can lie collect same? My eggs set 
under hens hatched nine chicks from 12 
and 13 eggs—no cripples—all lived. 3. I 
have White Guineas and White Holland tur¬ 
keys which run with my hens ; have had no 
trouble with them as yet (one year), but 
have been told they should not be together. 
What Is your experience with them? 
New York. a. r. h. 
1. Any of the American breeds make 
good sitters, in fact almost too good, and 
of these I know of none more satisfactory 
than the Wyandottes. I had, one season, 
about 15 White Wyandottes. sitting in open 
crates, arranged in a circle on my cow 
stable floor; food and water were kept con¬ 
stantly before them and most of them 
hatched two sittings of eggs each before 
being released. It was a happy social cir¬ 
cle, with little gossip and no scraps but 
was kept under close observation during 
the six weeks’ session. 
2. One should have no trouble In run¬ 
ning a good incubator successfully, even 
though without experience. The inexperi¬ 
enced frequently do better than old hands 
ns they are more apt to follow instructions 
closely. The poor hatch you speak of may. 
or may not, have been the fault of the in¬ 
cubator operator. Unless he guaranteed a 
certain percentage of chicks from the eggs 
he is legally entitled to full pay, whatever 
the moral obligation may be . 
3. It is not a good plan to allow tur¬ 
keys to run with other poultry as the para¬ 
site causing black-head in turkeys also in¬ 
fects other domestic fowls and may be 
acquired from them. m. b.’ d.
