In regard to the number and size Of
eggs | remember two pullcts that laid
much larger eggs than others OF the
same age and breeding. and more than
the average number. One Of the pullcts
was somewhat undcrslzcd. There were
also two other pullots laying very
small eggs, and much more than the
average In number, blank days occur
ring at long intervals. These obscrva-
lions extended only during the few
months Of Matching. not for the entire
season. So far NJ breeds so, II has been
my experience to get the fewest eggs
from hens laying large ones. From
Houdans. laying very large eggs. very
satisfactory numbers were obtained.
Leghorns gave more OF considerably
smaller size. and Hamburga produced
much greater number OF very small
eggs. The Houdans. however. were
confined much OF the time. The Leg
horns some OF the time. while the
Hamburgs had almost unlimited run
most OF the year. This was fifteen or
20 years ago. and cannot now give
more specific records. for did not then
appreciate the Importance OF collecting
them. Later experience with Minorcas.
which laid very large eggs, was TO the
effect that they were less prolific than
the Leghorns.
Eggs from nine Loghorn hens laying
on the average for the year. l43 eggs,
averaged 1870 ounces each. while eggs
from nine other hens fed the same, and
whose average egg production was
fraction over 90 eggs, averaged l,9l
ounces each. Two hens averaging liz
eggs each during their second year.
produced eggs that averaged l.9S ounces
In weight, and two other similar hens
whose egg production was ~ eggs each.
laid eggs averaging exactly the same In
weight A Cochin hen whose eggs aver
aged 2,22 ounces In weight, laid l22
during the year. Another (same breed
and food laid 1870 eggs, averaging l.9O
ounces. or two Leghorns whose eggs
averaged the same in weight, viz, 2,Ol
ounces, one laid 1872 eggs and the other
90 eggs during the year. Individual In
stances show such variations as TO indi-
cate no general relation between num-
Der and size Of eggs, and enough data
are not available TO Justify conclusions
| from the averages. l have always
thought, however, that the hen laying
very large eggs. as rule. laid fewer
than the average. William p. Wheeler,

SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY.
Hearing Of Van Nalkcnburg. Wana-
makers Political Manager.

POTTSVILLE, Pa, December 31-Some
startling testimony was given today in the
preliminary hearing of E. A. Van Valken-
burg, who has charge of John Wanamak-
ers senatorial campaign at Harrisburg,
and who was arrested last night charged
with attempting to bribe Representative
Webster c. Weiss of Northampton county

After Van ValkenbIrg had been called
and pleaded not guilty, the prosecution

ployed by the interstate detective agency
of Scranton. Tillard said he was sent tn
the Wanamaker people early in the sum-
ner to hire out to them and then disclose
all Information he could get to his su-
reriors.
He described at length interviews he had
with Mr.. Van Valkenburg. He said it was
agreed that he was to help the latter Sc
cure votes against Senator Quays candi-
date for United States Senator. He told
him he had conspired with and induced
Van Valkenburg to give him money to
bribe representatives in various parts of
photograph receipt from DR.. ,Mackey of
Luzerne county for $780, and pledging
himself to vote for Wanamaker
Tillard acknowledged that he had kept
500 out of the original sum. which was
$1,000 He said it had been given him by
Van Valkenburg to give to DIR. Mackey.
The defendants counsel objected to the
testimony as having bearing on the
Weiss case, but the justice admitted 1t.
