EGG-LAYING CONTEST~| 
The twentieth week of the contest gives 
an <tt?g production for the week of 8,875. 
This'is 55.35 per cent of the possible to¬ 
tal if every hen laid every day in the 
week. The gain over the previous week 
is 241. The gain has been continuous 
for the last five weeks, the output this 
week being 1,832 eggs more than it was 
five weeks ago. 
Torn Barron’s White Wyandottes— 
after skipping one week—resume their 
place at the head of the procession with 
an egg production of 59, or over 80 per 
cent, of the possible total. They have cut 
down the lead of Edward Cain's Wyan¬ 
dottes from 155 five weeks ago to 93 now, 
and if they can keep up their present 
stride, will soon lead all other pens. 
Storrs Agricultural Station’s experi¬ 
mental pen of R. I. Reds tie for second 
place with B. P. Nase’s pen of White Or¬ 
pingtons, each laying 54. Rhode Island 
Re is also take third place. I). E. Warner’s 
pea from It. I. laying 53. A. P. Robin- 
s a’s White Leghorns laid 52, and J. M. 
Thomas’ White Leghorns laid 51 as did 
Branford Farm’s pen No. 9 of White P. 
Rocks. 
There has always been a question in 
the minds of many poultrymen. as to 
whether the egg production business 
would not in time he overdone. It is 
true that egg receipts in New York are 
far in excess of previous years. Over 
thirty-four million eggs, nearly thirty-five 
million, were received in New York in 
the first week of March. This is about 
three times as many as were received 
last year in the same period.

GEO. A. COSGROVE. 
Points of Black Minorca. 
Would you tell me how to distinguish 
it purebred Black Minorca cockerel and 
hen? I am a breeder of the above and 
would like to know if they are to be 
bronze black, blue black or dull black? 
Must they have black or white toenails? 
In regard to face, too much or too little 
red, white lobes. IIow much, if any is 
allowable of fine red stripes? w. z. 
There should be no “fine red stripes” 
in the plumage of a Black Minorca, nor 
any “bronze” or purple tinge. The black 
should have a greenish metallic lustre. 
The face should be red. the ear lobes 
white, the legs dark slate color and en¬ 
tirely free from feathers or down. Tlie 
comb should have six deeply cut serra¬ 
tions and should be large and heavy, with 
long wattles; the back long and sloping 
toward the tail, which should be carried 
at an angle of about 40 degrees from line 
of back. The Standard says nothing 
about “toenails.” geo. a. cosgrove.
