EGG-LAYING CONTEST 
In answer to many questions about this egg- 
laying eontest. the following facts are given: 
It is held at Storrs post office 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. 
Iteeord at Storrs, Conn., for week ending 
April 9, 1920: 
'Save tile surface and 
you save all ’-jL y * WW 
Your wagons 
and implements 
should last longer 
Every farmer knows his wagons 
and farm implements will last 
longer if kept out of the weather. 
It is equally important to have 
them protected from sun, rain 
and moisture when in use.

Early Laying Turkeys 
I have two Bourbon Red lion turkeys 
that started laying on March 0. The 
remainder of my flock started laying a 
few days later. I luive been told that 
this is unusually early for turkeys in 
this State to start laying. 1 would like 
to hear from any reader who has turkeys 
laying as early an this. I attribute my 
success more to the fact that my stock 
is composed of purebreds than any special 
attention they have received. M.G.
