THE EGG-LAYING CONTEST. 
T HE forty-second week shows an egg 
production of 3,065; 30 eggs less 
than were laid during last week, but last 
week’s gain over the previous week was 
145, showing that most of this gain is 
still retained. Bonnie Brook Poultry 
Farm’s Leghorns led the procession last 
week with 61 eggs; they lead again this 
week with 56 eggs to their credit. Torn 
Barron’s Leghorns are second, with a 
score of 55 eggs. This pen is steadily 
crawling up on the leaders, and is S9 
eggs behind Francis F. Lincoln’s pen, 
which is now the leader of the contest¬ 
ants, being four eggs ahead of Barron’s 
White Wyandottes. Pen number 42, the 
“sour milk” pen from Storrs Agricultural 
Station, has a score of 1,794, heating 
them all, but this is an experimental pen, 
and is not contesting for the prize. Manor 
Poultry Farm’s pen comes in third for 
the week with a score of 54. Marwood 
Poultry Farm is fourth, with a record 
of 51, and pen 42 is fiftn, with a score of 
50. All of these pens are White Leg¬ 
horns. 
That these egg-laying contests are re¬ 
sulting in a great gaiu in egg production 
is beyond disptite. At the Thorndale con¬ 
test the figures show a gum over last year 
of 8,752 eggs in the 41 weeks; and last 
year there was a heavy gain over the pre¬ 
vious year’. The introduction of new 
blood from the yards of breeders whose 
birds make the highest records, is spread¬ 
ing this gain all over the country; and 
the result can hardly be other than a de- 
eided improvement to American poultry 
keeping. The week’s record follows:

(Sectional Construction ) 
Hall users make money. They are 
far more successful than the aver¬ 
age in the poultry business. 
Re-orders indicate satisfaction. 
The Hall leads in new sales as well 
as in selling old customers over 
and over again. There is security 
in Hall Equipments. 
The reason. Bigger hatches of 
bigger, better chicks or ducks that 
grow into money quickest with least 
trouble and expense. Extra chicks 
of extra vigor pay for the Hall. It 
is the original and standard. 
Small users write just as enthusias¬ 
tically as this best known poultry 
plant:

We can speak only words of satisfaction 
of the efficiency of Halt Equipment. The 
100,000 capacity that we have gives us 
excellent service. IVe would not think of 
installing any other machine that is nou, on 
the market. You will probably receive 
an order from us for 65,000 additional 
capacity before fall.

How To Test Galvanizing 
Take a piece of any other galvanized 
Bteel, bend it back and forth several 
times, hammering it down each time. 
You will then be able to flake off great 
scales of the galvanizing with your 
finger nail. Apply this test to a piece 
of Edwards Tightcote Galvanized Steel
