THE EGG-LAYING CONTEST. 
T HE fifteenth week, ending Feb. 14, 
shows a gain of 175 eggs over the 
previous week, the number laid be¬ 
ing 2.218. Tom Barron’s White Wyan- 
dottes make the highest score this week, 
viz.. 49. equaling the high score made 
by Storrs’ White Wyandottes last. week. 
Two pens of It. I. Reds tie for second 
place, with scores of 48 each. They 
are Chas. O. Polhemus’ pen from New 
York, and Springdale pen from Connect¬ 
icut. Storrs Agricultural Station’s 
sour-milk pen of White Wyandottes laid 
40. and their pen of R. I. Reds laid 42. 
The average for the White Wyandotte 
pens is 80.7. The R. I. Reds are next 
with an average for the week of 29.7; 
the White P. Rocks average 27.6; the 
Rarred Rocks average 24.4; and the 
White Leghorns 15.9. Edward Cam’s 
White Wyandottes still lead all other 
pens in the total output, their score be¬ 
ing 560, but here in this town we have 
10 White Wyandotte pullets shut up in 
a house, to compare with Cam’s birds. 
These have gained steadily on his, and 
the last time I heard from them were 68 
eggs ahead of Cam’s. This is no sham, 
it is actual fact. This Wyandotte breed, 
‘Made in America,” is, I am strongly 
inclined to think, going to be the great 
American breed. No other breed excels 
it as a broiler when young, or as a table 
fowl when mature, and for laying eggs, 
its records do all the talking necessary.

GEO. A. COSGROVE. 
Light Brahmas for Soft Roasters. 
J OWN a small farm in the vicinity of 
Plymouth. Mass., and want to make a 
start in the poultry business. I am 
unable for business reasons to start oper¬ 
ations before the latter part of June. I 
am thinking of Light Brahmas, as they 
seem to be very popular along the South 
Shore. b. j. 
The Light Brahmas used to be very 
popular among the South Shore soft 
roaster growers, but, in the past 10 or 
35 years, the American varieties, notably 
the Barred and White Plymouth Rocks, 
have pretty well supplanted the Brahmas 
in popular favor. Considerable of the 
blame for this, however, lies with the 
Light Brahmas themselves. They have 
drifted to the discard because the stock 
of Light Brahmas has “run out”; their 
eggs failed to hatch well, and what chicks 
were hatched did‘not live well and grow 
well. That this serious fault could be 
overcome by careful and systematic breed¬ 
ing up of strength and vigor there is no 
doubt, but even then, it might be a ques¬ 
tion whether the Rocks wouldn’t pay 
bettor year in and year out. It has been 
proved that the Rocks, Rods and Wyan¬ 
dottos lay many more eggs within a year, 
the eggs hatch well and the chicks grow 
well, and the net result is a substantially 
better profit, because there are many 
more pounds of meat to sell to market. 
Light Brahma roasters will average one 
to two pounds heavier, and it is true that 
the heavier roasters sell for the highest 
prices, but, in the long run, numbers of 
roasters marketed, even if one to two 
pounds lighter in weight, pay better. 
The distinctive soft roaster district lies 
somewhat north of the town of Plymouth, 
between the towns of Kingston and 
Ilingham and east of the “Short Line” 
railroad to Plymouth, via Whitman ; the 
center of the district is about at llanover.
