EGG-LAYING CONTEST 
Products, Prices and Trade 
In answer to many questions about this egg- 
laying contest, the following facts are given: 
It is lieltf at Storrs post office in comiectlon 
with the Connecticut Agricultural College. The 
contest begins November 1. There are 10 pul¬ 
lets in each pen. All the birds receive uniform 
treatment. The houses are all alike, and the 
feed is the same for all. The contest continues 
for one year. The weekly records cover the num¬ 
ber of eggs laid for each i)en in the current 
week, and also the total number of eggs laid 
since the first of last November. The contest 
will end November 1, at which time these birds 
will be removed, and another set of pullets en¬ 
tered for the next year.

Virginia. 
The most satisfactory droppings board 
that I have ever used is the concrete floor 
beneath the perches, with a wide board 
set on edge in front of them to keep the 
litter from being scratched into the drop¬ 
pings. This “board” harbors no mites in 
its cracks, and is readily cleaned at con¬ 
venient intervals with a shovel. If one 
desires a real droppings platform, liow- 
<‘ver, it should be made from smooth lum¬ 
ber and iireferably in sections so that it 
can readily bo removed for cleaning. The 
cracks in and about droppings boards are 
breeding jilaces for mit.es and necessitate 
fr(‘(|uent attention on the part of the care¬ 
taker ; con.sequently it is well to dispense 
with them unless limited floor space re¬ 
quires their use. nr. b. n.

tools that most dealers exhausted 
their stocks. The fact that the Pilling

their shelves.
