Vineland, N. J. 
The Vineland, N. J., egg-laying contest 
is now in its second year. The same hens 
which were reported last year are being 
tested for their two-year-old form. Below 
is given the record of the full pullet year, 
the record for the current week ending 
July 31, and the full record for this 
year. Do not confuse these records with 
the Connecticut figures, for that is a pul¬ 
let contest.

bother, and result in the Universal 
being a good investment for every farm.

It is simple, dependable and always 
ready to work.
