Still  another  egg-laying  cotft/ist  is  «.„  be  re¬ 
corded  at  the  New  York  Institute  of  Applied  Ag¬ 
riculture,  at  Farmingdale,  Lois?  Island.  Fifty 
pens  of  pullets  and  three  pens  01  ducks  are  being 
tested.  This  is  the  third  year  of  the  test.  The 
first  year  pens  of  20  birds  each  were  established. 
The  second  year  these  pullets,  as  yearly  liens, 
were  used  as  breeders,  and  in  the  third  year  20 
pullets  from  these  breeding  pens  were  again 
tested.  The  plan  is  very  much  the  same  as  that 
developed  at  Vineland  and  in  Bergen  County, 
N'ew  Jersey.  Long  Island,  being  a  great  duck 
country,  it  was  natural  that  pens  of  ducks 
should  he  entered,  and  the  figures  below  show 
three  such  pens.  The  list  given  brings  the  rec¬ 
ord  up  to  April  3,  this  being  Bulletin  No.  22:
