TRAP NESTING HENS.

Two years ago the North Dakota
Experiment Station began establish
ing laying records Of hens by reason
of trap nests. For some years the sta
ton has kept a good laying strain
Of Barred Plymouth Rocks. The re-
suits obtained the first year were very
striking in the great variation in egg
yields among the birds. In flock of
forty pullets of the same breeding the
poorest layer had II eggs to her cred
it while the champion hen registered
total OF PIP eggs. The poorest lay
ing bird received exactly the same
care and feed as the best layer and
laid only one third as many eggs. The
hens holding the highest record were
not the largest nor yet the smallest in
the flock but were of medium build
and carried no superfuous flesh. They
were invariably vigorous and alert in
appearance with every evidence of a
strong constitution.
The second year OF trap nesting IN
cluded a greater number of birds and
a much wider variation in records was
found The leading hen had a record
of 229 eggs.
The practice of trap nesting is not
to be recommended to the average
poultryman owing to the expense en-
tailed in furnishing special nests and
the extra labor involved. 1t is of in
calculable value, however, to the spec
ial breeder of poultry who is attempt
ing to produce heavy laying strain
of fowls. AS means of eliminating
Improbable layers it is of great value
and the trap nest. is being used by
many poultrymen at least a portion of
the year for this purpose.
