THE EGG-LAYING CONTEST. 
The forty-fourth week of the contest 
shows ;i slight gain over the previous 
week. The number of eggs laid was 1,781; 
last week it was 1,775. In the forty- 
fourth week last year it was only 1,427, 
or 254 less. The highest score made this 
week is 27, by J. M. Jones’ Columbian 
1*. Rocks from New Jersey. Three 
pens of White Leghorns tie for second 
place with scores of 26; P. (4. Platt’s 
pen, Pennsylvania ; Frank Toulmin’s from 
England, and Blue Mountain Poultry 
Farm’s pen, Pennsylvania. 
Barred Rocks for almost the first time 
since this contest began, come into the 
ranks of the high scorers; the pen of A. 
B. Hall of Connecticut scoring 25, and 
taking third place for the week. Of the 
eight pens of Barred Rocks entered, five 
pens are hens, and to this fact is due the 
relatively poor record which the breed has 
made this year, as compared with last 
year’s record. 
Tom Barron’s White Leghorns laid 22, 
and Edward Cam’s 21; W. E. Sleegur’s 
laid 22 , so he reduces the majority against 
him by one egg this week. But his birds 
must do better than that to overcome 
Barron’s lead of 147. Barron’s total 
now is 1,088; Edward Cam’s, 1.001: W. 
L. Sleegur’s, 041; O. A. Foster’s, 020; 
Edward Cam’s White Wyandottes, 881 • 
W. P. Canby’s White Leghorns, 870; F. 
A. Jones’ White Leghorns, 865; Brae- 
side Poultry Farm’s, 850; Joseph J. Bar¬ 
clay’s, 848; Frank Toulmin's, 874; Bur¬ 
ton E. Moore’s, 844 ; Smith Bros’., 844 ; 
Bn Hock & Burrows, 822; Marwood Poul¬ 
try Farm’s, 812; Abbot! Poultry Yards’. 
811. All the above are White Leghorns 
None of the R. I. Reds have reached 800 
except Colonial Farm’s, New Hampshire, 
which have laid 822. 
Three pens of White Wyandottes have 
(laid over 800; Edward Cam’s pen, 882; 
Mrs. II. F. Haynes’ pen from Idaho, 817; 
and Beulah Farm’s pen of pullets, 801. 
Noue of the Barred Rocks or other breeds 
have reached 800. A writer from Mary¬ 
land criticizes these reports because they 
do not give what all the breeds are doing. 
He breeds “America’s best-laying strain 
of Rhode Island Reds,” and he wants to 
know what the Reds are doing at the 
contest, and the addresses of those who 
have entered them. Doubtless there are 
others who want to know what the 
Barred Rocks are doing, etc. It would 
make these reports far too long to give at 
one time the records of all the breeds 
but dividing it up into three or four parts 
and giving one part each week it may he 
done. So, I give below the Barred Rocks, 
White Rocks, Buff and Columbian Rocks, 
and R. I. Reds; other breeds to follow 
next week.

Roup iii Pullets. 
I bought some pullets recently, which 
are dying. They sneeze and discharge at 
the nose and mouth. I thought it was 
roup. I paid a good price for them, and 
I am afraid I shall lose most of them. I 
notice their wings drop and they seem 
sleepy at first. m. j. 
New York. 
I am afraid, from your description, that 
your pullets arc affected with true roup, 
and if so, there is little that you can do 
to save those that are already diseased. 
You should promptly remove all healthy 
birds from contact with the diseased ones 
and keep them by themselves. They should 
have clean, healthful quarters, and as a 
precaution against infection, it would he 
well to add potassium permanganate crys¬ 
tals to their drinking water, using enough 
to give the water a deep wine color. All 
infected birds should be kept isolated as 
the disease is a contagious one, and after 
recovery or death, their quarters should 
he thoroughly disinfected and white¬ 
washed. Especial attention should he 
paid to their eating and drinking utensils, 
which should be disinfected with boiling 
water. Burn or bury deeply the carcasses 
of all that die. H. u. u.

Purina Chicken Chowder is a dry mash which contains just 
the ingredients to insure an abundance of eggs right through 
the Winter. Dry Purina Chicken Chowder should be kepi 
before hens all of the time. The more Chicken Chowder 
Biddy eats the more eggs she will lay. Hens should also 
have Purina Scratch Feed, two or three times a day, in a litter.

More eggs or money back 
to any poultry raiser who uses Purina Chicken Chowder accord¬ 
ing to directions and fails to get more eggs.
