the direction of .T. E. Downing, Field 
Secretary of the American Berkshire As¬ 
sociation. of Springfield. Ill. The sale 
will he held in the afternoon, so those

association, and have plenty of time to 
look over the stock offered for sale. 
How They Make “Hydrolized Sawdust” 
(Continued from page 1271) 
from chips and pieces of bark is best 
suited for this purpose, since a more even 
penetration and digestion is obtained 
with the smaller particles. 
From experience and data gathered 
from investigations upon the preparation 
of ethyl alcohol from wood. Dr. Sherrard 
believes that similar feeds can be obtained 
from any of the non-resinous coniferous 
woods, and perhaps some of the more res¬ 
inous woods. Larch should be partially 
adapted to this use since it contains ap¬ 
proximately 12 per cent of galactin, a 
compound which gives rise to galactose 
upon treatment with dilute acids.

EGG-LAYING CONTEST 
In answer to many questions about this egg- 
laying contest, the following facts are given: 
It is held at Storrs post office in connection 
with tile 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 caoh 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.
