Perfect chronometers.

The French matchmaker. notwith-
standing years Of trial. is not yet able
to rival the Swiss. nor is he able to
manufacture chronometers equal to
those made in Geneva. The Chrome
metrical Observatory of Besancon has
interesting records on this subject
This observatory subjected watches
to severe tests under great variety
of conditions before formulating the
rule that watch to be perfect must
meet with not less than three hun
dred requirements. Judging by this
hard-and-fast rule, there are no per
feet watches in the world; yet Ger
tain pocket chronometers have Gov
cred over 1853 Of the points laid down
by the observatory.-Harper's Weekly.

Contests in Egg Production
BY Frederic ]. Haskin.

Egg-laying contests are the latest inno-
walton in the poultry world. One which
has been in progress at the state agri-
cultural experiment station at Mountain
Grove. Mo-, has recently closed its rec
ords and a second is to open in few
weeks. Hens from all parts of the coun-
| try took part in this contest and one pen
OF fowls was shipped from England for
the purpose. Some of the figures seem
incredible, hut they are vouched for by
scientific records.
| The champion hen Of the nation for I'M
renting egg laying is q buff Wyandotte
which produced an egg a day for thirty
consecutive days. A pen Of buff Wyan-
dottes. containing ten hens. produced 24O
eggs a month. an average OF twenty four
eggs TO each hen. Three hundred and
sixty hens, inspired by the contest into
special activity. made a record of over
twenty eggs each for a period of thirty
days. one particular record was kept for
/ five and a half months. The honors in
i this were won by an English white Leg
horn hen which laid III eggs A buff
Wyandotte from Vermont laid 1t6. A
| Missouri hen of the same breed laid 1875
eggs to her credit, while black Leghorn
Of Missouri came next with 13s eggs. A
white hen of purest plymouth lineage es-
tablished record of 26S eggs through
out the entire year.
| These records show that Dame Partlet
Is much more valuable and productive
creature than men have recognized. They
prove that the number OF hens capable
OF 300 egg annual average is much
larger than had been supposed Some
icomrnent was excited because the pen of
English hens made better records for
certain objects than the American birds.
This is partially due to the fact that
their owner had them in better condition
to begin laying Immediately after their
admission to the contest than were most
!of the hens from this country. Those
who were in charge of the contest do not
iadmt any superiority to the English
breed, although they acknowledge that
most English poultry raisers know better
how to care for their hens than do the
Americans. The contest also indicated
that no particular breed can be relied
upon To excel in egg production. 1t Is
the individual hens and their condition
which make the records.
The annual increase in egg production
in the United States has been much fos-
tered by the

that then damage losses are so heavy

The utilization OF these cracked eggs

and also what food will produce the
cheapest eggs. 1t has been indicated that
some of the foods producing the highest
number of eggs are so expensive that
cheaper foods, producing fewer eggs, will
be more economical
The egg industry of the country now
amounts to fully half a billion dollars of
annual value. While for centuries past
close study has been given to the breed
ing of cattle and horses the breeding of
hens has been notably neglected. Now
the commercial value of the hen has been
so demonstrated that the farmers are at
tempting to breed hens with reference TO
their laying qualities. The 2OO-egg hen
has become the slogan for all breeders.
1t has been demonstrated lately that the
2W-egg hen is not herself a good breeder.
The average egg yield from pullets hatch
ed from hens having record exceeding
30 eggs annually has been found 10 De
considerably less than from puiiets
