y Poultry Records at 4 s.As G.,
Last month some records wer
sent out from the Poultry Depart
ment of the College which proved
to be very interesting to, many
people. This month we have q
still better record to- send out. j.
During the month Of. April we
Sgain found 2 pullets which con-
descended to produce two: eggs
in one day. Both of these prllets
were S. c. ". Leghorns.
There are 129 pullets Of the S.
G. W. beghorns and White Plym-
outh Rock varieties which are in
feeding and breeding experiments
and which are trap nested. Of
these 1923, 81 are fed only wheat
and corn or oats, and beef scrap
or casein, no range whatever be.

are fed a ration consisting of

range. These 1923 pullets pro-
duced during the month of April

20 eggs each. so it is very clear
4'"t T0r"n of the pullets were
drOnes. One pen of S. C. W. Leg
horn pallets Laid 40 eggs and II
White Plymouth Rocks produced
PAL, which shows that each pen
averaged over 20 eggs per pulet.
In the Plymouth Rock pen we
find one pullet has laid Al con-
secutive days, and up 10 date is
still laying. She has laid 10 eggs
in 81 days, and 81 during the
m.snth Ct April. in this same
pen We find 4 pullets which laid
between so and Il eggs in S8
days. Last month two of them
shelled out Is eggs, and ONE pro-
duced 26 of them. For the three
months that trapnestS recrdS have
been kept, those IL produced S71
an average of $50 eggs
apiece. These pullets began laying

ing in January, 80 we think THEN
present record is remarkable
Their income from eggs in the
three months, with eggs selling
~ market price, was $11.69. The
cost of feed was 1925, all Of
which was purchased at the pre-
vailing high prices.
The 20 S. C. W. Leghorns which
are doing 50 splendidly laid 1898
eggs during the Last three months
or an average Of SIG eggs per
MI Tt cost for feed 1888 to
produce these eggs, which sold
onI tho mo~l-,' 'n7. 1t will
be seen from this that it costs
less to produce eggs of LeghOrns
than it does from Plymouth Rock
However, the Plymouth Rock pull
ties would bring more per head
on the market than the Leghorns.
These two pelIs which are dOin
so well wer~ selected 10 fill the
supposed type of egg-producing
fowls, with the long back and
wedge shape. No attention was
paid to fancy points.
Another record which we con-
slider as excellent is THAT As
three-year-old White Leghorn
hens produced 1855 eggs in April.
These are simply commonplace

JUMPED FROM THIRD STORY.
John Burke Imagined Men Were
About to Attack Him.

Believing that a crowd of men was
about to attack him, John Burke arose
from his bed, attired only in his night
clothes. and jumped from a rear third
story window of 34S Pennsylvania ave-
nue. northwest, early this morning. He
was sent to the Casualty Hospital, where
1t was found he had sustained an abra-
sion on his head.
NJ ]. Lynch and his wife, who reside
at $50 Pennsylvania avenue northwest,
shortly after 3 o'clock were startled by
hearing a crash on a rear roof of the first
floor of their home. On investigation
Mr.. Lynch found that Burke had jumped
from the third story of the house next
door, and had landed on the roof of the
rear of the formers home. Burke then
jumped down into the yard.
Mr.. Lynch called Policeman Boswell of
the sixth precinct, who went around to
the rear of the place, where he found
Burke standing in the yard with bricks
in his hands, declaring he was going TO
kill any one who came near him. The
policeman spoke to Burke. who as soon
he recognized the formers voice went
up to him and told him that crowd
of men was in his room after him.
The ambulance of the Casualty Hospital
was summoned and he was taken to that
institution. Because of his rambling
talk the physicians decided to send him
to the Washington Asylum Hospital for
examination.

no reason for Christian people to be
frightened at the thought that the Bible
