II T IS a fact not known by all poul-

Der of years ago was inaugurated
system Of egg laying contests which
have proved both interesting and prof
liable. Pens Of six mems each are made
up each year Of many different breeds
of chickens and ducks and different
strains Of the same breed. Conditions

as possible for each pen, one object
being to have the variety or strain

When these contests were first in
augurated the highest record of any
pen was something over 113O eggs.
while in the contest just closed a pen

year. In two years this pen laid 1859
eggs or an average Of 395 eggs per

laid 3047, or an average Of sos eggs
per hen in three years.
Six Indian Runner ducks laid in one
year 1878 eggs-an average of PIG
eggs per duck, and IN two years 2464
eggs, an average Of All eggs per
duck.
These contests show that even in
the past six years the egg production
of the different breeds has been ma
terially increased. They have proved
also that any breed by selection can
be made egg producers. Leghorns hold
the record for one and two year con
