laying contest, the following facts are given: 
It is held at Storrs post office in connection 
with the Connecticut Agricultural College. The

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 
trill end November 1. at which time these birds 
will be removed, and another set of pullets en¬ 
tered for the next year.

Concrete Floors for Henhouse 
I expect to use concrete for my poultry- 
house floors. IIow are the so-called damp- 
proof floors constructed ? M. Q. c. 
Connecticut. 
A concrete poultry-house floor should 
be watertight if drained by a layer 
of large field stones, or other porous ma¬ 
terial, and if made of sand, gravel and con¬ 
crete correctly proportioned to make a 
dense mixture. The concrete should also 
l>e put in place as a moist, quaky mass, 
not one so reduced by the addition ©I 
water as to give it a thin, soupy con 
sistency. Most poultry-house floors may 
also be raised several inches above the 
surrounding surface of the ground by 0 
layer of stones underneath, thus further 
protecting them from surface water.

Stop Hatching Weak Chicks 
With Cheap Incubators 
Remember, it is not how 
many you hatch that 
counts, but how many 
you raise. A Queen 
costs but little more, 
and the extra chicks 
that live and grow soon 
pay the difference. 
Queen Incubators 
Hatch Chicks That Live and,Crow 
Accurately regulated—taking care of a variation of 
70 degrees without danger. Built of genuine Red¬ 
wood-very scarce in these days of imitation. Cheap¬ 
er woods, and pasteboard lining in iron and tin mu- 
chines, retain the odors to weaken and kill the 
hatching chicks. 
Start your chicks with a Queen constitution and they 
will make money for you. Catalog free.
