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  Novem  -er  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.

Temperature  for  Incubator 
What  temperature  does  an  oil  incubator 
require  for  hatching?  W.  G. 
Mt.  Kisco,  N.  Y. 
The  temperature  at  which  au  incubator 
should  run  depends  much  upon  the  par¬ 
ticular  machine,  for  each  maker  has  pre¬ 
sumably  determined  at  what  point  the 
thermometer  should  stand  in  his  machine 
to  keep  the  eggs  at  the  desired  tempera¬ 
ture.  You  should  get  the  directions  in 
this  matter  from  the  maker  of  your  ma¬ 
chine,  and  then  follow  them.  Without 
such  directions,  it  may  be  said  that  the 
operating  temperature  should  be  prac¬ 
tically  103  throughout  the  hatch.  It 
may  run  a  half  degree  lower  than  this 
forthe  first  week,  and  perhaps  to  advan¬ 
tage,  but  should  be  held  at  103  for  the 
remainder  of  the  time.  These  directions 
apply  to  thermometers  held  or  hung 
slightly  above  the  eggs.  Thermometers 
having  their  bulbs  in  contact  with  the 
eggs,  and  consequently  lower  down  in  the 
egg  chamber,  may  be  kept  a  half-degree, 
or  even  more,  lower.  As  heat  rises  in  the 
egg  chamber,  as  elsewhere,  the  higher  the 
position  of  the  thermometer,  the  higher 
it  registers,  the  temperature  of  the  eggs 
upon  the  trays  being  the  same.  Eggs  will 
hatch  with  thermometers  varying  from 
101  to  105.  but  these  extremes  should  not 
be  permitted.  M.  b.  d.

Quality  chicks  cost  a  little  more  than  the 
run  of  common  hatchery  chicks,  but  they 
are  the  cheapest  chicks  on  the  market 
today.  It’s  what  they  do  for  you  next 
season  that  counts,  not  what  the  chicks  cost 
you  now.  BE  WISE  and  invest  rightly 
NOW  for  big  yields  of  high-priced  eggs
