THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
1257 
EGG-LAYING CONTEST 
The forty-eighth week of the contest 
gives an egg production of 2,510, a drop 
of 302 from last week. In the correspond¬ 
ing week last year there were 1,667 eggs 
laid, and the total to this date was 113,- 
401, against 145,309 this year, or 31,818 
more eggs laid to date than were laid last 
year for the same period. But there were 
ISO fewer birds in last year’s contest, so 
the average actual output per bird will 
not be much more than last year. These 
egg-laying contests have increased in pop¬ 
ularity each year. Commencing with five 
birds in a pen, it was difficult to fill the 
100 pens. Changing to 10 birds in a pen, 
82 pens only were filled the first year; 
last year the full 100 pens were filled. 
Now, a month before the next contest be¬ 
gins, the poultry department at Storrs is 
overwhelmed with entries; they come in 
every mail, by 'phone, telegraph, and even 
by “wireless.” Storrs will have had to 
take out all their “experimental” pens, to 
make room for the new entries, and many 
breeders who expected to enter birds this 
year, will have to he disappointed. The 
contest authorities have done some “guess¬ 
ing.’ and publish a table giving the prob¬ 
able number of 200-egg hens in this con¬ 
test, based on their performance up to 
. r >^A e ' , V ast year 754 per cent, reached 
-00; this year it is expected that 13 per 
cent, will accomplish it.

one egg behind. Barron’s White Leg¬ 
horns are still the leading pen, their total

winning pen this year. Judge Beasley’s 
Leghorns are second and Storrs pen third.

J. B. Mormon writes in American 
Poultry Journal: “Danish farm¬ 
ers became keenly alive to the fact that 
when fowls were intelligently bred and 
■well fed. they laid larger eggs, and so captured 
the London egg trade." You enn capture your 
eggmarketby feeding RedCombMeat Mash,the 
great egg maker for chickens, ducks or turkeys. 
It Costs 
You Less 
to feed Red Comb 
than to buy the ma¬ 
terials and mix them 
yourself. Sell your 
grain. Buy Red 
Comb. Quisenberry, 
who made hens pay 
a yearly profit of 
$7.16 each,says:" We 
use Red Comb."

Is it necessary, for egg production, to 
feed grain in the Winter? There are 
pullets and hens. Do the experiment sta¬ 
tions use greens in Winter? Can you 
get just as good results from beet pulp 
as cabbage or white potatoes? Is the 
following a good mash for laying stock? 
200 pounds bran, 100 cornmeal, 100 mid¬ 
dlings, 100 ground oats, 50 Alfalfa meal, 
100 meat. f. j. e. 
It is not necessary for egg production 
to feed green stuff in the Winter, as hens 
will lay without it, but they will lay 
more eggs at less expense if a part of 
their ration is of green stuff, and the 
health of the flock will be bettor main¬ 
tained. Beet pulp is used where fresh 
greens are not at hand, and is a fair sub¬ 
stitute; it may be freshened by steaming 
or soaking in hot water. The mash you 
mention is a good one. M. b. d.
