THE EGG-LAYING CONTEST. 
The forty-sixth week shows another 
heavy drop in egg production, as com¬ 
pared with the previous week ; 1,320 eggs 
were laid, 214 less than the week before. 
In some pens nearly every hen is molting. 
Colonial Farms S. C. It. I. Iteds again 
take the first place for the week with a 
score of 26. and their total is 887, 105 
eggs more than any other pen of Reds 
either Single or Rose Comb. Mrs. H. F. 
Haynes’ White Wyandottes are doing'her 
honor; they take second place with a 
score of 24, and they lead all the White 
Wyandottes in total egg production (ex¬

On page 1057 Chas. T. Sweet of Mary¬ 
land. a noted breeder of Rhode Island 
Reds, takes up the cudgels in favor of his 
breed, and proves that they lay more eggs 
than Leghorns. His figures are as fol¬ 
lows : 
Birds Eggs ^Average 
Entered. Laid, per Bird 
Leghorns (all varieties)... 310 45,454 146.6 
Leghorns (S. C. White)... 240 37,223 155.1 
Leghorns (American bred). 235 36,241 154.2 
R. I. Reds (both combs).. 150 23,356 155.7 
Where Mr. Sweet gets his totals I don’t 
know, but assume that his figures are 
correct. Below I give the figures to date, 
September 18, of the White Leghorns and 
Rhode Island Reds (both combs). I hold 
no brief for the advocacy of Leghorns, 
but simply state the facts as they occur. 
In the present contest at Stores the 43 
pens of White Leghorns have laid up to 
the above date 34,878 eggs, an average 
per pen of 811.1, average per bird 162.22. 
The 13 pens of R. 1. Reds have laid 
9,183. an average per pen of 706.3; aver¬ 
age per bird. 141.26. Of the 43 pens of 
White Leghorns, 27 pens, or 62.8 per 
cent., have laid over 800 eggs. • Of the 13 
pens of Rhode Island Reds only one pen 
has reached 800, the Colonial Farms pen, 
record 887. In fact, only six pens out of 
the ;>i pens other than White Leghorns, 
have laid 800. These are the facts of this 
particular contest up to September 18. 
There are six weeks more before the con¬ 
test closes, and these figures will prob¬ 
ably be changed somewhat when the con¬ 
test ends. But up to this date the White 
Leghorns have averaged to lav 21 eggs 
each, more than the Rhode Island Reds.

There is no argument as to the value of the Manure Spreader, 
neither as to the saving in time and labor nor in the increase in yield, 
resulting from proper spreading of fertilizer. 
The most profitable investment you can make is— 
The Flying Dutchman Spreader 
A Steel Frame, Low Down, Close Coupled, Endless Apron Spreader, of the 
most modern construction, greatest convenience and lightest draft. 
Easy to Load —The top of the Box being only 42 inches high, it is easy and 
quickly loaded, without that back-breaking lift. 
Runs Easy — The box being higher in front than in rear, the apron runs 
down hill, giving lighter draft—you know it’s easier to pull a load down hill 
than up. It is also equipped with Roller Bearings—reducing friction. 
Wheels Under the Load — Just where they should be to secure the lightest 
draft — most convenience in turning and plenty of traction power on the rear 
wheels, without the use of lugs. 
Clearance —The Endless Apron has 18 inches between its lowest point and 
the ground—6 inches more than most others. 
Steel Frame, Steel Wheels, Steel Beater, Chain Drive 
No other Spreader is so strong and well built. The Apron runs on three sets 
of steel rollers, safely^carries 5,600 pounds without sagging. 
Easy to Handle — One Lever operates the entire machine — a boy can 
handle it as well as a man, with no chance of breaking the machine. Being close 
coupled, it is convenient around the barnyard. 
We also build the MOLINE SPREADER which Is of the same 
general construction, except it has a R ‘turn Apron.

August, 101; September, 77; total for 
273 days, 956 eggs, or an average of 3.5 
t'ggs per day, which, from seven liens, 
means a 50 per cent yield during the en¬ 
tire period, which includes broody and 
molting seasons. Two of these hens are 
two years old, the remainder yearlings. 
They are all purebred, and of a good 
strain, though some are not of standard 
color. The light buff are the best layers; 
the bronzy ones have not equaled them. 
They are kept in an enclosed run, netted 
over to avoid risk to garden, and are 
extremely tame. They are fed mixed 
chicken feed, and scraps from table ami 
garden. Counting the eggs at 30 cents 
a dozen during the entire period (iuul 
some of our friends were paying 54 cents 
a dozen for “strictly fresh” in September, 
and 60 cents in January) we have a re¬ 
turn of $3.40 per hen for the nine months. 
Chicken feed has varied from $1.90 to 
$2.10 per 100 pounds. r.
