good considering the number that have 
been marketed in the past two months. 
Owing to the above conditions I look 
for a rapid advance in the price of eggs 
a little later in the season, and as mar¬ 
ket for baby chicks was rather slow this 
past Spring I believe there will be a 
shortage of pullets for the laying of 
early Fall and Winter eggs. This should 
also tend to make an advance in the price 
of eggs this season as well as a shortage 
of hatching eggs next Spring, and for 
this reason I believe there will be a good 
season for the poultrymen who can in¬ 
crease their flocks. With this theory in 
mind I am going to increase my flock 
from 100 to 300 more birds than I have 
been keeping in the past, or in other 
words increase from 900 to 1,200 layers, 
and also keep over about 250 choice 
cockerels to sell as breeders in the early 
Spring. 
I have just been advised that there 
would be a drop in feed prices in the 
near future, and if this drop comes the 
outlook will be that much brighter for 
the poultrymen, as well as for all who 
have to buy their feed. The price of 
feed this year over the price the same 
date last year is, wheat 30 cents and 
oats 15 cents per bushel higher, and the 
following ground feeds, per cwt., higher : 
Cracked corn 55e, bran 10c, flour mid¬ 
dlings 20c, cornmeal 55c, ground oats 40c. 
and meat meal 10c per cwt. higher. These 
prices are all retail, and in loads of one 
ton or over are delivered free. 
The price of eggs compared with the 
price the same date last year is from 5 
to 6c per dozen higher, with many of the 
stores selling storage eggs, as they are 
unable to get enough eggs from the 
farmers for their trade. H. N. CONNER.

Cost of Trap-nesting 
Trap-nests should cost about 75 cents 
more than the plain nests. They will last 
as long as any person would ever trap- 
nest hens. One good man can trap about 
1.000 hens when they are laying well. 
We trap about 1,000 pullets, and have 
been trapping for eight years. We con¬ 
sider it costs us about $1 each to trap- 
nest pullets. GEO. S. RAYNOR. 
New Jersey. 
How much do trap-nests cost? The 
cost varies with the construction ; before 
I built mine I bought a set of three for 
$2, made after the Storrs contest trap- 
nest, though not an exact copy. I showed 
it to a carpenter, who said he could not 
duplicate it for less. The trapping fea¬ 
tures of my own trap-nests are simply 
doors swung on hay wire, with trigger 
and stops. I made them at odd times and 
do not know just what they cost. Given 
the nests, which were there as ordinary 
nests, the triggers and d«ors cost about 
8 cents per nest. I had them cut by a 
neighbor who has a small wood-working 
shop. I could rig about 30 nests in a 
day, so they were not a very expensive 
proposition. How long do trap-nests 
last? There is nothing about them to 
wear out. Nests such as I have require 
occasional readjustment, but should last a 
long time. I am under the impression 
that the same traps have been used for a 
dozen years in the egg-laying contest at 
Storrs. It might be said that to anyone 
who is contemplating trap-nesting, a 
dozen years is a long time. How many 
henS can one attendant trap when devot¬ 
ing his entire time to it? This also de¬ 
pends on the man doing the trapping. 
As hens lays little morning and night, the 
trap-nest attendant would probably feed 
them, as well as trap them. Where the 
flock is in fair-sized units a man ought to 
take care of 1,000 hens. He might not be 
able to keep up with his job in very hot 
w ather when the traps need to be visited 
often. FRANCIS F. LINCOLN. 
Connecticut. 
Poultry House Floor 
We have a henhouse that never had 
any floor in ; always kept the hens on the 
ground ; now are planning on putting in 
cement. What do you think about this? 
Will the hens do well on cement, if kept 
covered with litter all Winter? What 
is tlie best way to force hens in Winter? 
New York. c. G. 
Concrete makes a very desirable poul¬ 
try house floor, being rat proof and 
easily cleaned. It should have a good 
covering of litter, as any floor should. 
Hens should be forced only by proper 
feeding and care, combined with the use 
of artificial lighting, if they are not :o 
be used the following Spring as breeders.
