THE EGG-LAYING CONTEST. 
The fortieth week of the contest shows 
a gain of 24 eggs over the previous week. 
The number laid was 1,882. Last year 
in the fortieth week 1,653 were laid, 
showing a gain this year of 229 eggs over 
what were laid in same week a year ago. 
As long as we can make the records 
show gains over the previous year’s, it 
will be evidence that progress is being 
made, and in my opinion the result will 
be a general increase in the number of 
eggs produced by the poultry of the 
country. As the diffusion of high-bred 
bulls through the country has undoubt¬ 
edly increased the average milk produc¬ 
tion, so will the distribution of male 
fowls from heavy-laying hens increase 
the average output of eggs. If, with 
steadily increasing population, it will be 
absolutely necessary to make each acre 
of land produce more, it will also be of 
value to the nation to increase the food 
supply from poultry. Notwithstanding 
the continued hot and dry weather, there 
was a gain in egg production, the White 
Ijeghorns contributing just one-balf of 
the 24-egg gain. White Leghorns make 
all the high scores this week; the highest 
being 30 eggs by F. G. Yost’s pen of 
hens. This is a mixed pen of hens and 
pullets, the hens being part of those that 
won the contest last year. They were a 
long time moulting, and got hopelessly 
behind; their total to date is 632. Tom 
Barron’s pen is second with a score of 
29 for the _ week'. Three pens of White 
Leghorns tie for third place. They are 
Smith Bros.’ pen, Edward Cam’s Eng¬ 
lish pen and F. A. Jones’ pen. Blue 
Mountain Poultry Farm’s pen of White 
Leghorns laid 27; four pens of White 
Leghorns laid 26, and five pens of same 
breed laid 25 each. The highest number 
laid by any other breed was 24. Two 
pens of Barred Rooks laid that number, 
one pen of White Rocks, and the pen of 
Blue Andalusions. Tom Barron’s White 
Leghorns have laid 988, Edward Cam’s 
906, O. A. Foster’s 861. These are all 
English birds. 
W. L. Sleegur’s American-bred White 
Leghorns have laid 835. This pen has 
been doing finely of late, and have gained 
six eggs on Barron’s pen; they were 159 
eggs ahead, now they are 153 ahead. Ed¬ 
ward Cam’s White Wyaudottes have laid 
SOI ; no other pons have reached 800. 
Eighteen pens of White Leghorns have 
laid from 706 to 7S7; of all the other 
breeds five pens have laid from 711 by 
Lewis G. Tyreman’s White P. Rocks, to 
737 by Mrs. H. F. Haynes’ White Wyan- 
dottes from Idaho. 
In the Missouri contest five hens have 
laid 200 eggs or over in the 8*4 months. 
The weather has been the hottest ever 
known there. In the contest houses at 
four P. M. the heat was 105 degrees, in 
other henhouses near 109 to 110 degrees. 
A hen could be confined in a trap-nest 
but a short time without endangering her 
life, making it necessary for the attend¬ 
ants to make the rounds and release the 
hens twice as frequently as ordinarily. 
The total number of eggs laid is 80.073, 
an average for each hen of 118 eggs in 
8^ months. That is 26 eggs more than 
the average farm hen lays in a year. The 
comparative laying of the different breeds 
is shown below : 
The 30 Langshaus average 132 eggs 
each: 30 Minorcas, 124; 30 Anconas, 
122 ; 120 Leghorns. 119 ; 120 Wyaudottes. 
117; 60 R. I. Reds, 111; 90 Orpingtons, 
110; 120 Plymouth Rocks, 106. 
This shows the Leghorns down to 
fourth place, but the totals place Leg¬ 
horns at the top: 
Tom Barron’s White Leghorns, 1.686; 
Silver Wyaudottes, 1,418; Buff Wyan- 
dottes, 1,387: Black Minorcas, 1.3S6; 
Anconas, 1,385; White Wyaudottes, 
1,376; Lnngshans, 1.369; Brown Leg¬ 
horns, 1,351. 
This shows Barron’s Leghorns to be 
268 eggs ahead of any other pen, not 
counting the 100 or more soft-shelled 
eggs laid by one of his pullets.

Mash for Young Chicks. 
How old should little chicks be to feed 
them a dry mash to make them grow 
fast, mature aud develop well? I am 
intending to feed the following mash: 
Two parts bran, one part middlings, two 
parts corumeal, one part oat feed, one 
part beef scraps. Will it be too soon to 
begin when the little chicks are six to 
eight weeks old? I am intending to put 
the mash in a small box, leaving it where 
they can get it whenever they want it. 
Franklinville, N. Y. i. e. b. 
Chicks may have a dry mash before 
them from the start, though if one wishes 
them to develop rapidly it is not best to 
depend upon a dry mash for all their 
soft feed until they are at least 12 weeks 
old. The mash that you describe is a 
good oue if the hulls are sifted from the 
oat feed, and it may be kept before the 
chicks in boxes or hoppers. It should 
also be fed once or twice daily, according 
to. the age of the chicks, moistened with 
skim-milk or water if you wish to push 
the chicks rapidly along to maturity.
