SOLVED  BABY  CHICK  PROBLEM 
After  using  a  Putnam  Brooder  Heater 
for  a  month  in  a  home-made  brooder,  H. 
Grant  Ivins,  Enterprise,  Utah,  writes: 
“This  little  stove  has  solved  my  baby 
chick  troubles  for  me.  I  would  not  be 
without  it  for  many  times  its  purchase 
price.” 
Full  directions  for  building  the  Home- 
Made  Brooder  accompany  each  Putnam 
Brooder  Heater.

in  an  evening.  Your  dealer  has  or  can  get  a 
Putnam  Brooder  Heater.  If  he  will  not  supply

EGG-LAYING  CONTEST 
In  answer  to  many  questions  about  this  egg- 
laying  contest,  the  following  facts  are  given; 
It  is  held  at  Storrs  Postoffiee  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  yenr.  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.

Crossing  White  and  Black  Leghorns 
Would  the  yield  of  eggs  be  less  prolific 
were  I  to  combine  my  White  Leghorns 
with  the  Black  Leghorns?  What  do  you 
think  of  such  procedure?  o.  M.  k. 
Califou,  N.  J.  * 
Probably  it  would  not  make  much,  if 
any  difference  in  the  egg  production ;  but 
the  result  would  be  a  flock  of  mongrels,  of 
uo  value  except  for  eggs.  You  could  not 
sell  the  eggs  for  hatching,  or  birds  for 
breeding  from  such  a  flock.  Crosses  that 
have  a  definite  object  in  view  may  be  ad¬ 
visable,  as,  for  instauee,  when  Professor 
Dryden  of  Oregon  State  College  crossed 
White  Leghorns  with  a  heavy-laying 
strain  of  Barred  Rocks,  and  produced 
what  he  called  “Oregonians.”  These  birds 
at  the  Storrs  egg-laying  contest  heat  all 
other  birds,  winning  the  contest  with  the 
highest  average  made  in  10  years  at 
Storrs,  namely,  235  eggs  for  each  of  the 
10  birds.  But  it  was  not  the  first  cross 
that  did  it ;  the  winning  birds  were  seven- 
eighths  White  Leghorn  and  one-eighth 
Barred  Rock.  geo,  a.  cosgrove.
