EGG-LAYING CONTEST 
In answer to many questions about this egg- 
laying contest, the following facts are given: 
It is held at Storrs Postoffice 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 
number 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 
entered for the next year. 
Week ending February 6, 1924.

Death of Fowls 
I have a farm flock of several hundred 
hens with good Winter quarters. The 
last) two or three mornings I have found 
a bird dead under the roost, as if the bird 
had dropped from the place of roosting. 
Upon examining the birds I fouyd in the 
egg chamber a half dozen good yolks and 
also the remainder hung in clusters, just 
like bunches of grapes, hard, and com¬ 
pletely black. I feed them scratch grain, 
whole corn, laying mash, occasionally 
steamed oats. Green stuff is very scarce. 
Orange Co., N. Y. x. y. z. 
Irregular shaped and discolored yolks 
qr ova in the cluster forming the ovary 
are found in mature hens that are carriers 
of the germs of bacillary white diarrhoea' 
and the hen which you examined may 
havft been such a carrier. Chicks hatched 
from the eggs laid by such hens are in¬ 
fected with white diarrhoea when hatched 
and may then transmit the disease to 
healthy chicks with which they come in 
contact. There are various diseases which 
may kill suddenly, or at least without 
symptoms of illness having been previous¬ 
ly noticed by the caretaker, m, b. d.
