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  X.  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.

Ailing  Pullets 
What  is  the  matter  with  my  pullets? 
I  have  about  100  White  Leghorn  pullets 
in  a  new  henhouse.  Cornell  style ;  have 
Cornell  dry  mash  mixture  before  them  all 
the  time,  feed  2  qts.  scratch  grain  in 
morning,  12  qts.  at  night,  half  cracked 
corn,  balance  oats  and  wheat.  Several  of 
them  are  blind,  some  of  them  have  a  film 
over  the  eyes ;  they  look  well,  combs  are 
red,  and  they  eat  lots  of  mash,  as  they 
know  where  the  hopper  is,  but  do  not  eat 
any  grain.  We  have  had  several  that 
twist  their  heads  around.  They  also  look 
well  at  first.  They  will  live  two  or  three 
weeks  that  way,  if  we  do  not  kill  them. 
We  keep  grit,  oyster  shell  and  charcoal 
before  them  ;  they  also  have  all  the  cab¬ 
bage  they  will  eat.  mbs.  e.  m.

This  looks  as  though  the  flock  had  eaten 
some  spoiled  food  of  some  kind.  Give  the 
flock  a  physic  of  1  lb.  of  Epsom  salts  for 
each  100  birds,  dissolved  in  what  drinking 
water  they  will  take  during  the  day.  Then 
look  carefully  for  any  musty  or  spoiled 
grain  or  other  food  that  they  may  have 
had  access  to.  See  to  it  that  the  meat 
scrap  in  your  mash  is  wholesome.
