EGG-LAYING CONTEST 
There was a slight falling off in egg 
production last week, the loss being 79. 
Probably the liens did not enjoy the bliz¬ 
zard of snow and the howling gale of 
wind on Saturday, any more than humans 
did. Tom Barron’s White Wyandottes 
have a rival for first place this week, 
their score of 55 being- equalled by Bran¬ 
ford Farm’s pen of White I*. Rocks. 
Chas. O. Polhemus’ pen of R. I. Reds 
win second place with a record of 54. and 
(Jeorge M. McMillan’s White Leghorns 
from Missouri take third place with a 
score of 52. Three Connecticut pens laid 
51 each. Branford Farm’s pen No. 11 of 
White P. Rocks. Springdale Farm’s R. I. 
Reds, and B. P. Nase’s pen of White Or¬ 
pingtons. Nase’s White Orpingtons have 
been among the three or four leading pens 
every week lately. Edward Cam’s White 
Wyandottes still lead in the total score, 
having laid 851 eggs. Tom Barron’s Wy¬ 
andottes are 78 eggs behind Cam’s, but 
gain on them every week. Second place 
in the total score is held by TIillview 
Poultry Farm’s R. I. Reds from Vermont, 
their total being 801. 
An article in The R. N.-Y., referring 
to the length of time eggs remain fertile 
after the male bird is removed, states that 
eggs hatched up to 17 days after the male 
was taken away. My friend, Fred B. 
Skinner, writes me that a friend of liis 
who has done considerable trap-nesting, 
is willing to make oath that ho hatched 
an egg that was laid 27 days after the 
only male was removed from the pen. The 
Maine Experiment Station advises 
against the feeding of beef scrap or meats 
of any kind while eggs are being saved 
for setting. Prof. Baldwin, of Canada, 
states that they have demonstrated that 
feeding beef scrap to the extent of 10 per 
cent of the mash, materially lowered the 
per cent of hatchability of the eggs; and 
in one experiment with a number of pens, 
continued for two years, even the feeding 
of milk curd reduced the hatchability of 
the eggs. In light of the above, what an 
old fool Nature must be. Here she sends 
up the worms, and green grass, lots of 
fresh meat, just at the time when the 
greatest hatchability is wanted and re¬ 
production is at its height. But perhaps 
Nature only sends them for the little 
chicks; and the hens ought to be educated 
to let worms alone.
