ESQ Eggs In One Year.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Ore, Nov. 25.-Two hens at
the experiment station of the Oregon
Agricultural College now hold the
United States championship for the
highest number of eggs laid in year;
each produced 259 eggs, tieing for
championship. No other experiment
station in the country has ever been
able to raise hen with a record to
equal this. Heretofore the best that
could be done was the record of 251
eggs laid by bird in the flock of the
Maine Experiment Station some years
ago. An unofficial record from a
private breeder shows 256 eggs some
years since but even this is beaten by
the Oregon hens.
One of the birds is Plymouth
Rock and the other cross between a
Plymouth Rock and a Leghorn; the
Plymouth Rock laid " eggs in the
month of October. The cross did not
run so high in individual months
but she was more consistent, laying
over 20 eggs every month except
March.
''This Is matter of breeding, feed
ing and care'' said Prof. James Dry
den, poultry expert for the expert
mental station tonight. Sin the
same pen with the record Plymouth
Rock hen we had one which laid but
six eggs although she was of the same
breed and received the same care and
feed. The trouble was in her heredity.
She was a poor individual. When
we have finished figuring up the
records Of all the hens in this test we
will have some very interesting data
for publication in new bulletin of
the experiment station"
Regarding the above statement we
desire to add that Mr.. D. Tancred,
poultry editor of The Ranch, in 1906
had trap nestled Leghorn hen which
made record Of 295 eggs during the
year. A sworn statement of this is
furnished by Mr.. and Mrs. Tancred.
who alone had charge of the poultry
plant. This is believed to be the
world s record. This was undoubted-
ly one OF the greatest hens ever pro-
duced. In her second year she laid
2O6 eggs and in her third year 152.
She died October of this year, having
laid 8O5 eggs during the five years of
her life. The Iowa Agricultural
College is using cockerels from this
hen to cross with common poultry for
good results. ~
One of the agricultural stations in
Australia has White Leghorn pullet
which has made record of 287 eggs in
twelve months.
A Wycoff White Leghorn hen has
made a record of 283 eggs in year.

Winter Feeding for Laying
Hens.

To retain good results the hens
must have some animal food and this
may consist of skinned milk, pro-
teina-soy bean meal-or flesh, green
cut bone. Egg production requires
large amounts of lime and this may
be supplied in the form OF oyster
shells. Since the hen has no teeth.
grit, or some small sharp substance
must be available for grinding the
feed. An abundant supply of fresh
water is necessary for hens-a fact
which is apparent when we consider
that 81 per cent of the egg is water.
A ration that we have found salts
factory and are using this winter at
the Washington State College poultry
plant. for laying hens, is:
Oats, three pounds.
Wheat, four pounds.
Corn, two pounds.
Alfalfa, one-fourth pound.
Proteina-soy bean meal-one-half
pound.
Fresh green cut bone, one-half
pound.
The nutritive ratio is one pound of
proteina to four and four tenths
pounds of carbohydrates or fat 1 to
A..
The above ration is feed to each
flock of fifty hens. In addition to
this a bunch of fresh kale is hung up
in each pen every morning. $3.50
The bran, proteina-soy bean meal
and alfalfa (which is cut up in
eighth-inch lengths) are mixed to-
gether and fed dry in the hopper in
the evening. The alfalfa is dampen-
ed with cold water the evening pre-
vious to feeding and then the follow
ing day mixed with the bran and
soy bean meal which makes slightly
dampened mixture. Feeding this in
hoppers in the evening avoids danger
of under feeding.
The whole grain is scattered morn
ing and evening in litter or kstraw.
In winter the first feed is given about
seven and the last at three or four.
After the hens are on the roost a
small amount of grain is scattered in
the straw so that the hen can start
scratching the first thing in the morn
ing.
Aside from this ration given:Tthe
hens have grit, charcoal, oyster shells
and granulated bone; these being
kept before the hens in hoppers. 1t
is best to keep each breed in pen
by itself and the fowls In a pen should
be Of the same age. Comfortable
quarters and pure, fresh water are
necessary with any method of feeding.
Ii during the winter months the fowls
must use all their bodily energy in
indeavoring to Keep warm, egg pro
duction will necessarily be low and ii
the hens once stop laying during the
early winter it is difficult to get them
started again before spring.
There is no set rule as to the time
of feeding each day, the main thing
being to keep the birds exercising a
good part of the time by scratching
all grains in litter four or five in
ches deep when any material changes
in ration are made.

Two among the most progressive
cities in the state voted on the new
Allen law last week, which gives any
city the commission form Of govern
ment. Aberdeen defeated it by a
majority of nearly two to one, while
Cen.ralia accepted it by about the
same majority. The result in Aber-
deem is surprising in view of the fact
that it is city of progressive, pat
riotic citizens. However, the bust
ness men there were made to believe
that it would be detrimental to their
inter est, and the moneyed men of the
city opposed the measure. OF course
this is only temporarily; the people
will demand another election in the
near future when they will establish
this form of government because it
is for better politics and lower taxes.

TIMES UP.

Nashville, April % The seventy.
FIVE days limit for the tifty-seyepth
general assembly of Tennessee will
expire next Friday, April 80 After
that day the members of the legisla-
ture can draw no per diem.
The life of Tennessee legislature is
two years, but under the constitution
the members can draw pay for only
seventy-five days of any regular ses-
sion. Yesterday the two houses took
recess for today and tomorrow, I'M
der the provisions of Joint resolution
hence these two days are not counted
in the seventy-five days. Had the
two houses merely adjourned yester-
day until Monday, as has been their
custom, then today and tomorrow
would have counted as regular legis-
lative days.
1t has been sixteen days since the
thirty.fout independent democrats and
republicans constituting the so-oalled
"Alabama branch" of the legislature
left the state While there have been
numerous reports in circulation re-
garding their intention to return to
Tennessee, these members are evil

announced purpose and remain away
as long as it may be necessary to pre-
vent any alterations il the existing
election and temperance laws of the
state. On the other hand, the regu-
lar democrats and those republicans
who are standing with them in de-
termined effort to amend the election
laws, are apparently equally deter
mined in their purpose to remain in
session until the end of their term of
