In answer to many questions about this egg- 
laying contest, the following facts are given: 
It is lieltf 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 aleo 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.

Heating a Brooder House 
We are planning to build two brooder 
houses 8x8 ft., with.shed roof 7 ft. in the 
front. 5 ft. in the rear, and think of buy¬ 
ing 300 or 100 day-old chicks. What 
would be the best way to heat the houses, 
with coal, gas. gasoline or kerosense? 
Sewickley, Pa. A. p. 
A brooder house 8x8 ft. is rather small 
for a coal heater, and you do not need 
two heaters for but 300 to 400 chicks. I 
would suggest that you build one portable 
colony brooder house 9x12 ft., plating it 
upon 12-ft. runners or skids, and that you 
install a 500-chick capacity coal-burning 
brooder stove for your flock of from 300 
to 400 chicks. If you expect to brood 
very early in the .season, when the weath¬ 
er is apt to he quite cold, it might be 
advisable to use the larger size, or 1,000- 
chick capacity, stove. There is nothing 
superior to the coal-burning brooder stove 
for portable brooder-bouses. M. B. D. 
are pure-bred, but selected for 
of experience. Expe
