LEGHORNS CLOSELY
PRESS WYANDOTTES
Within a Few Eggs of the Record
of the English
Birds

The experimental pens in the Storrs
laying contest are of course not in
competition for prizes. They have been
entered by the experiment station for
the express purpose of finding out
whether or not the rations being used
in all the competing pens can be inn
proved. 1t is perfectly obvious that
such experiments could not be con-
Quoted with the regular pens; thus it
happens that the production of these
experimental pens has been watched
very closely.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
of the contest for many weeks past is
the fact that in the thirty-eighth week
n of these experimental pens of
Leghorns has pushed the English
Wyandottes so closely.
The ten leading pens in the contest,
ten hens each, have made records to
date as follows: White W~yandottes,

Poultrymen Can Make
Own Disinfectant

1t is good practice to disinfect the
poultry house from time to time even
though there be no apparent need of it.
Numerous commercial disinfectants
are relatively expensive, but an excel
lent solution of o is made as fol-
lows: Measure out 4 quarts of boiled
linseed oil in a four of five gallon
tsone crock, then weigh out in a dish
IA pounds of commercial potassium
hydrozide or caustic potash, which may
be obtained from any druggist at a cost
OF from 10 to Is cents a pound. Dis
solve this caustic potash in a pint of
water; let it stand for at least
three hours until the potash is COM
pletely dissolved and the solution is
cold; then add the cold potash solution
very slowly to the linseed oil, stirring
constantly. Not less thar five minutes
should be taken for the adding of this
solution of potash to the oil. For five
hours after being mixed the oil and
potash mixture should be stirred thor
oIghly about once every hour and
then left standing for ten or twelve
hours. The soap then should be stirred
and broken up into small pieces and
5A quarts of commercial cresol should
be adde. The soap will slowly dis
solve in this cresol. 1t may take two
days for a complete solution to be
effected. When the soar is all dis
solved the solution is ready to use.
This soap will mix in any proportion
with water n yield a clear solution.

Take the drunkard. Does it re-

That's easy. OF course nobody is
wise enough to be able to tell abso-

matrimony is the acid test of charac-

of sleeve and of neck irish as to make it
adapted both to evening and afternoon

over net with lace making the sleeves and
trimming but for the over-blouse can be
used any pretty seasonable material ands
for the under-bodice, net chiffon, crepe
de chine and anything that is soft and
light of weight. Lace makes the prettiest
finish for the neck and front but the soft
sleeves can be made either of 1ouncing
as in this instance, or of material finished
on its edges. The long sleeves consist Of
caps with full lower portions. When tho
round neck is used, the blouse is cut high
to give a guimpe effect.
