In answer to many questions about this egg- 
laying contest, the following facts are given: 
It is held at Storrs post oflice in connection 
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 pen 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.

Diarrhoea in Baby Chicks 
Will you toll me what to <lo for baby 
chicks when they get the diarrhiea? 
Asbury Park, N. .T. J. L. m. 
The cause of the diarrhoea, if it can be 
ascertained, should lie removed. If due to 
improper feeding, its if often ia, the faulty 
method of feeding should be corrected or 
the unsuitable food withheld. If overheat¬ 
ing in the brooder or chilling from exposure 
is responsible, these faults must be cor¬ 
rected. If due to infection by germs of 
bacillary white diarrhoea, there is no cure. 
This trouble must be avoided by hatching 
only from uninfected stock and guarding 
against introduction of the disease from 
outside sources. As general methods of 
prevention, the feeding of charcoal and 
sour milk have some little value, but 
diarrhoea being always a symptom, rather 
than a disease, the source of the digestive 
disturbance should be looked for and cor¬ 
rected. m. b. n.
