STATION HENS MADE 5000
Their Average Number of Eggs Far
Better Than American Record
One Laid I33,

For some years past the North Da-
kota experiment station has been es-
tablfshing egg records of a flock Of
barred Plymouth Rock hens. This
has been done by e of trap nests.
Every hen is numbered and every
time h lays an egg the fact is re-
corded. The heaviest laying period in
the life of h average hen is her pull
let year. 1t is customary to base lay
ing records from the time a hen drops
her first egg and he eggs laid during
the following twelve months consti-
tute a yearly record.
In a flock Of 100 pullets. thirty-four
averaged 174 eggs. Seventeen Of these
averaged 100 eggs during the twelve
month. Ten hens produced an aver
age of owe 200 eggs. Four hens
ranged we'll above the 200 mark. Hen
1904 laid 207 eggs. hen SOL? laid 217.
hen 574S produced 221 eggs, while
the champion hen of all No. 1921 laid
233 eggs in just a year.
Hen No. 1921 breaks the station
record for egg production which had
been made two years age by hen No.
1862 ~ho produced 229 eggs in a little
over eleven months. These records
are little short Of remarkable when
one considers that the average hen
in the United States produces fifty
eight eggs in a e while the aver
age North Dakota hen is able to pro-
duce a bare sixty egg The best hen
OF the lot laid nearly four times as
many eggs as the typical hen from
North Dakota.

WOULD COST $l,663,000 TO DIVERT
FLOW OF MOUSE RIVER TO DEVILS LAKE

a mile of the Northern Pacific rail.
road where it crosses the valley.
From careful records kept by Prof.
Chandler of the run off of the Mouse
river at Minot for years Of 1903 to 1911
inclusive, it is shown that the an
nual floow of the Mouse river at this
point averages 10000 acre-feet, an
acre foot being the amount of water
necessary to V n acre n foot
deep, and it is estimated that to MAIN
tain Devils Lake at it's present eleva-
ton 1t will require the diversion of
about $1,000 acre-feet Of water and
would require a ditch fourteen feet
wide on the bottom and carrying wa
ter six feet deep with a grade line of
six inches to the mile.
Cost Will Be $1,683,O0
From the Sheyenne reservoir the
water would be taken to the lake by
a ditch through one of the coulees
which evidently in past ages drained
Devils lake into this river. The es-
timated cost of the construction of the
bitches and dams necessary for di-
version works carrying sufficient Wa
ter to maintain the lake at its present
level is ~$1.663,00O.
The report further shows that to
deliver sufficient water to the lake TO
bring it to its elevation of 1888 which
was the elevation in the year 1879
would require an additional diversion
of $1,000 acre-feet and With this di-
version it would take several years to
restore the LAKE to the elevation above
mentioned. The diversion of this
amount would require a ditch with a
grade line two feet lower than under
the former plan and the estimated
cost would be $2,042.O00.
Could lrrigatc 10000 Acres
The report also shows that there is
sufficient annual flow of the river to
provide irrigation for 100. 900 acres of
land north and east of the mouth of
cent to the Oberon-Esmond branch of
the Northern Pacific. The irrigation
Of these lands would he brought about
by the construction of pumping plants
at the Mouse and SheSenne reservoirs.
The irrigation Of these lands would be
accomplished at a cost of probably not
toexceed $25 per acre and the annual
cost to apply the water to the land
would De approximately $3.50 per
acre. The irrigation Of these lands
considered together with the diversion
of water to Devils Lake would very
! materially decrease the cost of. the .di-
version and would probably bring 1t
within the range of possibility.
With the diversion of the water to
the lake and the diversion OF sufficient
water to irrigate 1907 900 acres Of land
one foot deep, the drainage problem
on the lower Mouse river would be
greatly simpliied.
The report is accompanied by a map
covering all that part Of the state be.
tween the Mouse river and Devils Lake
and the Sheyenne river to the Cana
dian boundary and shows the elevation
OF all the towns and many interme-
diate points over this territory. Pro-
file of the ditch line and cross Sec
tions of the rivers at the proposed dam
| sites are also shown.

The Winnipeg men have an interest
in the navigation question because of
the fact that American improvements
would act to their advantage. opening
up the way to additional territory

enter the United States by the water
route. Some improvement work
would have t. be done in Canada be-

up the improvement this side of the

There is no question but what
great benefits would result from the
construction of such a system of locks
and dams as proposed" said MI. ily-
land in discussing the question. We
have seen the resul of river inn
provement in Canada. and there is no
reason why there should not be sim
liar results in this section.
Our attention to tho proposition
has been attracted because OF the pro-
posed river survey. set forth in the

to put in d good word for the propo-
Sition."
