THE HENYARD 
A Comparison of the Newark, Del., and 
Mountain Grove, Mo., Contests 
As these two egg-laying contests con¬ 
tained five birds in each pen, the compai’i- 
son is fairer than when compared ■with 
10 birds in each pen, as at the Vineland 
and Storrs contests. 
The five hens in the best pen at the 
Missouri contest were White Wyandottes, 
and the individual record of that pen is 
216, 24.5, 260, 27.3, 21.3, total 1,226; or 
an average of 245 eggs per hen. 
The winning five at the Newark, Del., 
contest were White Leghorns from the 
northwest corner of the United States, 
Washington. Their individual record was 
204, 2.52, 181, 251, 265, total 1.166; aver¬ 
age 233. 
The average production of all the birds 
at the Missouri contest was the highest 
yet made at any American contest, viz., 
175.2. The average at Newark. Bel., was 
165, or 10 eggs less per bird than the Mis¬ 
souri hens laid. The average at Storrs 
was 163, and at Vineland 161. ,Tnst why 
a pen of five hens should lay more eggs 
per hen than a pen of 10 hens is hard to 
tell, but they practically always do, even 
if fed exactly alike. 
In the Missouri contest there were 58 
pens and one substitute, making 348 hens. 
One_ man did all the woi'k, trap-nesting, 
feeding, watering, gathering and packing 
eggs for market, spraying the houses, 
treating the hens for lice, sowing the five 
acres of henyards with seed for green 
feed, and all other labor connected with 
the fowls. All feed was purchased in the 
open market from feed dealers, and eggs 
sold at market rates. 
_ The average price for eggs was 35c, the 
highest price 40c and the lowest .jOc. It 
will be noted that the range of prices is 
far less than in the East. 
Expenses include everything, even the 
egg cases, excelsior for packing, spraying 
material, etc. Receipts were from the 
sale of eggs and the gain in weight of the 
hens, in excess of the weight of the hens 
that died. Here is the result: 
One man with 348 hens on five acres 
of ground spent $916.89, which returned 
him $1,672.93, or a profit of ,$756.04; 
even at the high prices of feed which have 
obtained for the past year. The sale of 
eggs brought in a profit every month but 
October; in this month there was a loss 
of $2.31. 
The contest for first place at the New¬ 
ark, Del., plant was exceedingly close. 
The winning pen of T.eghorns from Wash¬ 
ington scored 1,166, White Wyandottes 
from Lancaster, Pa., scored 1,165, and 
Tom Barron’s M'yandottes 1,158; the 
average per hen for the three pens being 
233.2. 2.33, 231.6; or less than two eggs 
difference in a year’s laying. The gain in 
the pi’odnction of good layers is illustrated 
by the fact that in the first contest there 
were hnt 60 200-egg birds, and 70 in the 
second ; but in the fifth contest there were 
164, and 112 in the sixth. Rhode Island 
Reds made the highest score ever made 
by that breed in an American contest, 
viz., an average per bird of 218.8. The 
high price of feed may have the beneficial 
effect of sending to market the unprofit¬ 
able flocks, leaving better birds for future 
breeders. geo. a. cosgrove.
