W H. PEARSON. 
Poor Laying. 
Could you tell me what ails my chick¬ 
ens? I have 45 S. C. White Leghorns 
which will be two years old next April. 
All last Summer they averaged about 
two dozen eggs a day. then in the latter 
part of August they started to moult and 
of course stopped laying, hut they are 
still moulting. Some of the hens have 
bright red combs, while others are pale 
and shrunken. I am only getting three 
and four eggs a day now. I keep them in 
A-shaped house with a cement floor. The 
house is 10 feet long and 10 feet wide. 
1 am feeding according to the Cornell 
method. I should like to add ground 
oats and gluten to the mash. How much 
would it be advisable to put in of each? 
Newfield, N. J. g. b. j. 
Some of your hens are evidently a lit¬ 
tle slow in completing their moult, but 
this is no evidence of anything wrong; 
on the contrary, the late moulters are 
usually the best layers. You will not 
improve the Cornell ration by adding 
ground oats and gluten, though these are 
both good feeds. I would suggest, in¬ 
stead. feeding the oats whole if the bens 
will eat them readily. If you desire to 
use gluten feed, the following formula 
containing it has been recommended by 
the Maine Experiment Station, and is a 
good one: 100 pounds each of wheat bran, 
middlings, gluten feed, and cornmeal, to 
which is added 50 pounds of meat meal 
and one quart of flue salt. This formula 
contains one-ninth part of animal food, in 
the form of meat meal, while the Cornell 
formula contains one-fifth part of beef 
scrap, making the latter a more expen¬ 
sive ration, though possibly a somewhat 
superior one. m. b. d.

THE CALIFORNIA EGG CONTEST. 
The eleventh month of the Napa (Cal.) 
egg-laying contests just ending shows no 
marked changes in the relative positions 
of the leading pens. The pen of Buff 
Wyandottes, entered by the writer, still 
holds first place, with a total of 800 eggs; 
their nearest competitor being Blom & 
Son’s White Leghorns, with a total of 
758 eggs. Both of these pens made a 
poor showing for the past month, the 
Wyandottes laying only four eggs and the 
White Leghorns seven. AH the other 
pens are so far behind that, barring acci¬ 
dents, they will finish as they now stand. 
Rutherford’s White Rocks are fourth 
with a total of 704 eggs, having laid five 
the eleventh mouth. I.ubben’s Barred 
Rocks did well, laying 64 eggs, with a 
total of 718. Ottea’s White Leghorns 
laid nine, with a total of 692; Slocum’s 
White Leghorns laid 62. with a total of 
686; Olardy’s Buff »upingtous (from 
Missouri) laid 13, with a total of 616. 
These are the only pens that have laid 
over 600 eggs. Nine pens fell below the 
100 mark. Two pens, both White Leg¬ 
horns, laid no eggs the eleventh month- 
There are several very good reasons 
for the comparatively poor showing being 
made in this contest; the principal one is 
that it was started fully three months too 
late. Nearly all of the fowls are past 
two years old; the leading pen of Buff 
Wyandottes are just passed two years, 
and been laying heavily before they ever 
saw Napa. In fact I picked one of them 
oil' the nest to put her in the shipping 
coop. If it is true that the first year of 
a hen’s laying is her best, it would ap¬ 
pear that this contest should have started 
in October instead the last of February, 
in order to give the test a fair one. The 
second reason is that the fowls have 
been moulting heavily and have not yet 
finished. Another reason is that this has 
been a most unfavorable year for egg 
production since the rains began. We 
have had heavy rains continuously weeks
