Gain Of Twenty
Eggs a Week in
the Storrs' Contest

The feature of the thirty-third week
of the international egg-laying contest
at Storrs was a gain of twenty eggs, or
a total yield for the week of $500. as
compared with 3,2S9 for the preceding
week. This gain of twenty eggs in a
production of more than 5000 eggs is
small. to be sure, when figured on a
percentage basis. At the same time
the price of eggs Is now steadily rising
and the cost of producing eggs at this
season is perhaps as low as any time
of the year.
The lighter breeds are usually
thought of as nonsitters. The general
rule is that hen that lays white eggs
will not incubate them. There are,
however some exceptions to this rule.
In going over the records at Storrs for
the past week 1t is found, for instance,
that some of the Leghorns are broody,
though they are relatively fewer in
number, to be sure. but broody never
theless.
The ten leading pens to date are as
follows: White Wyandottes, England,
1873 eggs; White Leghorns. Connecti-
cut. 1907; White Wyandottes, Con-
necticut, 1,21; White Wyandottes,
Rhode Island, 1906; White Leghorns,
England. 1.169; White Leghorns, New
York. 1,119; Rhode Island Reds, Con-
necticut, LII; Rhode Island Reds,
Pennsylvania. 1.088; White Leghorns,
Pennsylvania, 1919; Barred Plymouth
Rocks, New York. 1.057.

WASTE Of MONEY
TO BUY THE BRAN
That Is if You've Good Supply Of
Alfalfa or Clover
Hay

One who has plenty of good clover
or alfalfa hay for the hens need not
buy wheat bran; to do so is almost the
same as throwing away money.
Alfalfa is virtually as rich feed as
bran and good clover hay is almost as
rich. In some respects these feeds are
preferable to wheat bran, for they are
not so irritating to the bowels. Wheat
bran is full of gritty particles and
sharp-edged scales, which irritate the
intestinal passages and causes the food
to be evacuated before 1t is fully di-
gested. 1t is also, frequently. the cause
of intestinal disorders. But even If 1t
had none of these Objectionable quail
ties one is not warranted in buying
feed that can be replaced by a cheaper
homegrown product.
Hens cannot. of course. be fed ex-
clusively upon clover or alfalfa hay
and be expected to give a profitable
egg yield; it is too bulky for an eX-
elusive diet and needs the addition of
concentrate grains to make a perfect
ration. However. in their proper place,
clover and alfalfa hay are among the
most effective and economical of egg
producing feeds. When feeding a wet
mash, finely cut clover or alfalfa, or.
what is better, the leaves heads and
seeds which break off and shatter out
when being handled. and may be
swept up from the feeding floor in the
barn. should form about half of the
mixture. 1t is good practice, but not
really necessary, to have such mash
thoroughly scalded, If not cooked.

More Pheasants Than
Ordinary Folks in
Merry Old England

The people of England are outnum-
bered by England's domestic pheas-
ants, but in Canada and the United
States the laws are not such as en-
courage the raising of game birds. In
New York the law provides that
anyone may rear and sell game birds,
but makes it criminal oftense to ship
them. Indiana allows the rearing AID
selling of pheasants, but forbids ex-
press and railroad companies to re-
ceive them for shipment.
Unfavorable laws is the only obstacle
to the growth of domestic pheasant
raising in this country: otherwise the
business looks attractive as a CONNER
cial proposition. Ringneck pheasants
are very hardy. They thrive in an
open field in zero weather without
protection. The birds mature in about
six months; hens lay on an average
So eggs each in a season.
Pheasants are easier to raise than
chickens. The eggs hatch in about
twenty-three days and a good old
Plymouth Rock hen can safely be en-
trusted with this job. The weight of
a mature bird is three pounds and in
tho leading markets the price per
pound is 81. When 1t Is considered,
therefore, that a pheasant requires
only one-tenth the feed consumed by
chicken, that it is practically free from
diseases. and that it is the farmers
friend because 1t, eats the ruinous in
sects and seeds Of Objectionable weeds.
1t seems likely that pheasants would
be seen on many of our farms were
tho Objectionable laws out of the way.

Pluming Mite III
Get You if You
Don't Watch Out

More inquiries as to the depluming
mite have been made this spring than
usual Whether this pest has become
more general or whether poultry keep
ers are becoming more particular is
hard to tell. but it does look as If
poultry keepers especially those not
extensively engaged in the business,
are waking up to some of the factors
that make for failure. The depluming
mite is in this class.
This is the time of the year when
the depluming mite Is most heard of;
the pest is most common in early sum-
mer and is gone in the fall and winter.
1t lives among the feathers and seems
to like to eat the quill and soft part of
the feather near the skin. 1t produces
an irritation that causes the hen much
restlessness. The half-eaten feathers
break off, fall to the floor, leaving the
hen with half-bare head or neck.
A careful examination of the birds
will show a collection Of dust" near
the seat of the trouble that under the
microscope will show plenty of small
mites that are none the less busy be-
cause they are small. The skin may
be red from irritation, but seldom is
there any scab as in mango.
On general principles the poultry
man should wage war on the English
sparrow; not only does he spread the
depluming mite, but he is a carrier of
many poultry troubles, to say nothing
of his being a filthy bird.

The deep pointed girdle makes an
attractive feature of many of the newest
and smartest gowns. This bodice shows
one with combination of the drapery
over the shoulders that seems especially
well adapted to the present season for it
provides admirably for combinations of
thin and thick materials. In the illustra-
ton, brocaded silk makes the girdle while
net makes the shoulder drapery and
straight lace banding the under portion of
the bodice, but there never was time
when it was easier to make changes in
combinations and fabrics than this one
when there is almost lmitless variety.
While net is favorite, any thin, soft ma
terial can be used for drapery and, if
something less transparent is wanted,
crepe de chine makes a good choice, or
net or lace arranged over chiffon. There
is foundation blouse over which the
drapery and trimming of banding are
arranged but the girdle is boned to pro-
vide its own support.
For the medium size, the blouse will

HERE'S THE WAY
To PLUCK A DUCK
There Are Ways and Ways to Do
lt-But Here's the Proper
Method

If ducks are killed for home con-
sumption they can be slaughtered in
any way and scalded. Ducks and geese
should be left longer in the hot water
than chickens, or wrapped in an old
blanket or sack to start the. down.
If they are to be killed for market the
heads should be left on and not dis
figured in any way.
Some cities demand dry-picked
ducks and those selling in such mar
kets should acquire the art of picking
them dry. They should be killed with
pointed knife. sharp on both edges.

the mouth so as to pierce the brain.
then turned so as to cut the arteries
and cause profuse bleeding. Another
way is to insert the point of the blade
just back of the head with saving
motion that cuts the two main arteries
and then thrust into the right eye
socket back of the eyeball till the
brain is touched. A rap on the head
with short club before sticking will
stun the bird and prevent much flut-
tering. The secret of successful dry
picking is to get the feathers off while
the bird is dying, for as soon as the
duck is dead the muscles contract and
hold the feathers tight. After killing
the duck may be hung by the feet at a
convenient height or laid on the lap
with the mead between the right knee
and the feather box
Whatever the method followed, the
most important thing is to strip off the
feathers with all the speed possible,
with pail of water near by, into
which the right hand should occasion
ally be dipped in order to make the
feathers stick to it. The fingers can
get better grip on the feathers than
when dry.
The left hand should hold the car
cass and when necessary pull the skin
taut to prevent tearing, as the right
hand pulls off the feathers by the
handful. Much of the down can be
rubbed off by the wet hand. The rest
must be pulled out separately or
shaved off with a knife of good steel
The long flight feathers of the wings
are usually left on, as are those for
an inch or more from the head. The
| latter is not removed. Any tears of
| skin should be sewed up.
