THE HENYARD 
Results of Egg-laying Contest 
October .31 was the last day of the sixth 
egg-laying contest at >Storrs, Conn., and 
of the first contest at Vineland, X. J. 
Each of these contests carried 100 pens of 
10 birds each, 1,000 layers. A comparison 
of the results obtained at these two con¬ 
tests is of considerable interest. 
The Vineland contest .started off wdth 
a rush, the output for the first week be¬ 
ing 1,455 eggs, as against 911 for Storrs. 
The second -week Vineland’s total was 
3,52.3, against 2,1.59 for Storrs. That is, 
in two weeks the Vineland contest was 
1.. 364 eggs ahead of the Storrs contest 
birds. At the end of the sixth week the 
Vineland birds were .3,598 eaes ahead, 
and at the end of the twentieth week 
they were 6,63.5 eggs ahead of the birds 
at Storrs. 
When the contest was half over, at the 
twenty-sixth week, the lead of the Vine- 
land birds had reached 8,863. Yet "when 
the contests w'ere concluded the record of 
the 1,000 birds at Storrs was 163,387, and 
of the Vineland birds 161,834, the Storrs 
birds coining out ahead by a margin of 
1.. 5.5.3 eggs. 
Vineland has the honor of the highest 
pen score, a pen of White Eeghorns 
owned by Percy Van Zandt of New .Ter- 
•sey, laying 2.212 eggs, or an average of 
221 eggs per hen. 
The highest pen score at Storrs 'was 
made by a pen of Barred Rocks owned 
■by Applecock Farm of New ITampshire, 
the score being 2,119, practically an avei’- 
age of 212 eggs per bird. This pen of 
Barred Rocks held second place for near¬ 
ly the entire contest, finally finishing at^ 
the top. Barred Rocks also have the high¬ 
est individual record, a hen owned by 
Merritt M. Clark of Connecticut laying 
277 eggs (see page 1.345), the highest score 
ever made by a Barred Rock at Storrs. 
In all the five previous contests at 
Storrs either a White Leghorn or a White 
Wyandotte has won. Birds from Penn¬ 
sylvania, Connecticut and Rhode Island 
have won, twice England has .shown the 
best pen, and now N^ew Hampshire wins 
with Barred Rocks. 
Nine breeds and varieties from 16 
States and two Allied countries were in 
this contest. The combined weight of all 
the hens was less than 2i/^ tons, but the.' 
laid over 10 tons of eggs. As the hens 
averaged 163 eggs each, the weight of the 
eggs laid was moi'c than four 't.imes the 
weight of the hen. 
The grand total of 163,387 eggs is the 
largest number ever laid at a Storrs 
contest; it is 1,000 eggs more than were 
laid last year, and 11,000 more than were 
laid two years ago. 
Next to the winning Barred Rock hen 
was one of Tom Barron’s White Wyan- 
dottes, which laid 263 eggs, and the next 
best was one of A. Allen’s R. I. Reds, 
which laid 249. The best White Leg¬ 
horn was from Hilltop Poultry Yards, 
Connecticut. She “shelled out” 246 eggs; 
165 individual birds, I-.cluding Barred. 
White and Buff Rocks, White and Buff 
Wyandottes, R. I. Reds, Leghorns and 
Orpingtons, laid over 2(M) eggs, and prob¬ 
ably many more birds would be in that 
class if all the eggs dropped in the litter 
could he credited to the hen that laid 
them. The average number of eggs laid 
by the different breeds is as follows 
90 Barred Rocks averaged. 169.2| 
160 White Wyandottes averaged.. 163.6; 
210 R. I. Reds averaged. 1.58.4 
430 White Leghorns averaged. 167.4 
110 Mi.scellancons averaged. 152.1 
The average for the whole 1,000 birds 
was 163.4 eggs. 
In the Storrs contest only three pens 
laiil 2,000 eggs or over; in the Vineland! 
contest five pens laid over 2,000 eggs. | 
Why the 1,0(X) fowls at Storrs (I^ollege, j 
in the last half of the contest, overcame; 
the handicap of moi-e than 8.000 eggs, 
and came out 1,553 eggs ahead of the 
1.000 birds at Vineland, is an unexplain¬ 
able as the Vineland birds running ahead 
so rapidly at the beginning of the contest; 
but, naturally, the Yankees are not doing 
any “kicking” at the result. 
I have not the result of the contests at 
Newark, Del., and at Mountain Grove, 
Mo., at hand at this writing, but may 
refer to them later. The intei-est in these 
contests inci'eases from year to year; 
months ago the list of entries for the 
coming year was filled at Storrs, and 
doubtless it is the same at ^the other con¬ 
tests. The violent opposition of the fan¬ 
cier!?, of which so much was heard during 
the first few years, seems to have dwin¬ 
dled away entirely; at least I hear noth¬ 
ing of it now'aday.s. geo. a. cosgrove.

A Plea for Brown Eggs 
Eggs are eggs at present, and it seems 
a good time for producers of brown eggs 
to rebel against the unjust discrimination 
in favor of white eggs. Let us keep the 
brown and tinted eggs at home until con¬ 
sumers are willing to pay the same price 
that is paid for white eggs. We can 
easily eat all the hens are laying now. 
If eggs were sold by weight, as they 
should be, brown eggs would bring the 
highest prices, for nearly all brown eggs 
w’eigh more than white eggs.
