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 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 
wilt be removed, and another set of pullets en¬ 
tered for the next year.

Another friend 
agree with the first one, 
is that squabs can be 
raised more profitably than bantam chicks, 
as the squab is ready for the market when 
it is four weeks old. What is your advice 
in this matter? Is it better to raise ban¬ 
tams or sqaabs? F. b. 
Our experience -with 'bantams shows 
that they are hard to raise, and the eggs 
are apt to be infertile. We have had no 
experience with them as substitutes for 
squabs,- but tbe leading squab dealer in 
this city says: 
“Regarding tbe claim that bantam 
chickens can be substituted for squabs, 
this cannot be done at any time, as there 
is no similarity, either in the looks of the 
bird or in the quality of the same for eat¬ 
ing purposes.”
