Laying Competition Records

cannot fail to be of great benefit to the industry.
 Laying Competition Records
 Bearing in mind the fact that the aver age hen in America produces but 60 to 80 eggs per year, consider the laying com petitions thus far made. The first North American International Egg-Laying Competition was staged at Storrs, Conn.,, and ran for one year, from November 1, 1911. Ninety-eight pens of five birds each were entered. total of 49O individuals, representing 8 breeds and va- rleties. The average egg production per bird was 154 eggs. A number of indiv1d- uals passed the 200 mark, one making score of 254 eggs
 The first Missouri competition, held at Mountain Grove, Mo-. contained a slightly larger number of birds, and these aver aged about 134 eggs each One hen pro- ducer the astonishing number of 2S1 eggs in the year.
 In the second North American competi- tion 300 hens averaged 156 eggs, the high individual making a laying competition record of 2S2 eggs in 365 consecutive days.
 Missouri's second contest had about TOO hens entered, the high individual produc- ing 260.
 The third North American competition is being conducted at Thorndale, Pa, with 800 birds entered. Records thus far made are much better than those of the previous contests during the same period. The. same may be said of the third Mis- souri contest.
 The steady progress made in these three years indicates that our breeders are al- ready producing better birds and are learning how to bring them to laying ma turity at stated date. This certainly is a long step in the right direction.
 The first Storrs contest opened Noven- Inc, xit1 iv1c ;x, same buildings occupied by the first and second North American competitions. Fair records have been made, especially by few pens. Unfortunately the over age egg yield is somewhat disappointing, being much lower than those secured during the two preceding competitions. It is hoped that much better showing will be made during the latter half of the year. There is still time to regain lost ground.

Fly EDWIN MEGARGEE

now regarded as being strictly fancer's fowl. This is it's history in America also.
 Possibly the loss of popular favor may be due to intensive breeding for such strictly exhibition qualities as color and crest, to the neglect of utility character istics. Or. perhaps. the tendency of the breed to contract catarrhal troubles in damp seasons may have caused commer- cial poultry raisers to look for harder stock.
 It must be admitted that the latter is serious fault. but in dry climates or in the hands of painstaking breeders it can be overcome. Under such conditions hens fthis breed can be made to yield a very large number of white-shelled eggs of good size
 While the White-Crested Black Polish can never be recommended as a business fowl, it's possibilities in this direction, coupled with it's rare beauty of form and color, make it very desirable for the small breeder, the owner of home flock.

It is fine in bone and carries a large amount of flesh of excellent quality.
 In color these birds are black and white. All plumage, excepting the chests is lustrous greenish black. The crests are white, frequently having narrow band of black feathers at base of crest. The latter are not desirable, however, and should be avoided where possible.
 The shanks, toes and bill are blueisn black; eyes black or brown, comb face and wattles red; ear lobes white. The comb is very unusual fin type. being " shaped, consisting of two small spikes. As a breed the White-Crested Black Polish is attractive and striking in appearance. The huge, snowy crest in contrast with the shiny black plumage, is the chief or nament. Breeders regard this as being so important that it is given a value of 20 points out of the total loo points in the standard score card. The whole body is graceful a combination of flowing curves. The birds are active and sprghtly. and group of them make a picture which cannot fail to appeal to the eye of all lovers of beauty.

 Efficiency is the watchword of the Srudern business world. which demands the maximum returns from the invest ment of capital and labor. Of late Amer iean poultry keepers have come to realize that they can, increase their returns without enlarging their focks or adding materially to their labor. The principal influences which are rapidly bringing -loout great change in the utility side of the poultry industry are discussed by Professor Stoneburn in his present contri- button.

PINCHoT AT WILKES-BARRE
Calls Penrose an Economic as Well
as Moral Issue.

WILKEs-BARRE. Pa, Oct 7.-Gifford
PinchOt, Washington party candidate for
United States Senator, spent last night
here, and today he conferred with ]. c..
Harvey county chairman; William Tomp-
klns, a Progressive leader and David NJ.
ROsser, former county chairman. He re-
mained here until 10 o'clock this morn
ing and several of the Progressives again
visited him. He left for Scranton.
In a statement issued here, Pinchot
said:
You can quote me as saying that Pen
rose Is an economic as well as a moral
issue. This is something higher than a
party night. Penrose, more than any
other political figure, represents that
magnate system of government which
serves the corporations rather than the
people, both at Harrisburg and at Wash
ington, which we have been fighting for
wears. and Pennsylvania cannot hope to
secure advanced legislation of benefit to
the people until PenrOse Is defeated"
RG gardlng the registration IN Philadel-
phla PinChot said
THE registration figures are one OF the
most favorable things that have occurred
as vet in the campaign, because they
show that the anti-Penrose enrolment
rs on the increase, especially In Philadel-
phla Again, think that proportionately
when the registration is compared with
the vote as shown IN former Philadelphia
elections. the machine majority vote In
Philadelphia has been so cut down that
with the admitted majority IN other parts
the state feel certain OF winning"

LITTLE BEFoGGED POSITION
OF BRUMBAUGH AND PENROSE
Rev. R. w. Miller Gives Different
Version of Conference.

The declaration that Doctor Brumbaugh
was in alliance with Penrose and the
Republican machine before the primaries,
which was made by r. NJ. Little in a
speech at Lebanon on Monday night,
was refuted yesterday by the Rev. DR..
Rufus w Miller, leading minister Of
the Reformed Church. and secretary of
the Sunday School Board and of the Board
of Publication OF that denomination.
Doctor Miller was named by Mr. Little
as one of those who attended the con-
ference at the Bellevue-S -Stratford where
an effort was made to have Doctor Brum-
baugh run on the same ticket with Mr.
Dmmck instead of Senator Penrose
Doctor BrumbaLgh's refusal to do this
Mr. Little interpreted as proof that he
was I'm alliance with Penrose.
Doctor Miller agrees that part of what
Mr.. Little said was true, but in some of
the statements, he says, Mr.. Little be-
fogged the position of Doctor Brumbaugh
Doctor Miller says that Doctor Brum-
baugh Is Embossed, and that he Is a man
who win stand on his own feet and that
there was nothinG brought cut at the
conference in the Bellevue Stratford to
indicate that he was tied to Penrose.

LONDON, Oct. Z.

LONDON, Oct. Z.
Through Chandler Hale, who Is in
charge of the Austrian branch of the
American Embassy, the United States
Government has gone into the restaurant
business in London.
MIR. Hale has opened an eating house
near Charing Cross, which. though
pntronized only by Austrians and Hun
garians, served more than 1000 meals last
week.
Tho quaint feature of Uncle Sans latest

ant Is entirely under the Jurisdiction of

sentative, 1t is capitalized by the AustrO-
Hungarian Contingent Fund, left by
Count Mensdorff, when he left England,
and foods are served free to all of EN-
peror Francis Joseph's subjects.
Having lunched there once himself, Mr..
Hale speaks as an expert when he says
1t has every restaurant in town beaten
for Hungarian gouiash.
The actual management of the establish
ment is in charge Of Hungarian couple,
who ran a small lunchroom there before
the war, and who. assisted by several
of their country women, are eager to re-
lirve distress among Austro-Hungarians
Last week 364 breakfasts, 1888 dinners
and GOO suppers were served gratis. Mr..
Hales idea In starting the restaurant was
to feed Austrans and Hungarians under
one roof. rather than give each money
to buy food individually. The plan has
proved more economical.

M'NlCHoL AND WARE OFF TO
KENTUCKY RACES TOGETHER
Politicians Think They May Decide
on Dark Horse for Mayor.


Politicians along the Rialto said to-
day that they were somewhat mystifed
by the actions of Senator McNichol and
Senator Ware. They saw the two leaders
jump into an automobile in front of the
Lincoln Building and start ,ostensibly on
long auto trip
This action of the two Senators, who
not long ago, were trying to effect each
others decapltation, started tongues
wagging. But ordinary surprise turned
to amusement when It was learned that
the automobile, after swerving around
City Hall, stopped at Broad Street Sta
tion. There the two men jumped out
and ran hurriedly up the steps of the
Market street entrance. IL was noticed,
too, that they carried their own grips.
Subsequently it was learned by an in
quisltive politician that the two leaders
boarded train for Lexington, Ky.
Those OF prophetic turn of mind say
that while the Senators will see the races
at Lexington and may have the pleasure
of seeing a McNichol thoroughbred come
first under the wire, the real object of
their trip is to pick a dark horse for the
mayoralty nomination. No matter what
rendezvous they selected In the past, even
though it were n hundred miles from
Philadelphia information always came
out about their meetings
So, on a rushing railroad train, with
comfortable surroundings, they can talk
and plan In peace. Upon their return

receive word to get busy

ROOSEVELT SILENT ON DEAL
Makes No Answer to Charges of I'm
derstanding With Murphy.

ALBANY, Oct. Theodore Roosevelt,
at packed meeting in odd Fellows Hall
last night, finished up a day of speech
making In Hudson River cities, including
Kingston, Hudson, Catskill, Chatham and
Troy. With Frederick NJ. Davenport, the
Progressive candidate for Governor, he
arrived at the Albany hall from Troy at
10 o'clock.
Mr. Roosevelt continued to turn the
brunt of his attacks on William Barnes
and Charles S. Whitman but paid little
attention to either Charles +. Murphy
or Governor Glynn.
He made no attempt to answer the
charge of Republican organization men,
appearing in an Albany afternoon paper,
that there was bipartisan combine
between the Democrats and Progressives
resulting in the selection last winter by
the Legislature of Homer d. Call n Pro-
gressive, as State Treasurer. He declared
however, that Mr.. Barnes had played into
the hands of the Democratic party.
Mr., Barnes" he said, "calls the Pro-
gressives Democratic aids, but I charge
that he himself is the greatest asset to
the Democratic party in the nation. He
saws he Is shocked at the Progressives,
yet he has just nominated Mr.. Whitman
fer Governor, who one year ago accepted
the Murphy nomination for District At
torney Of New York and thereby became
great Tamany asset.
Let Mr.. Barnes ponder in sackcloth
and ashes on these deeds OF his, and
then let hins retract anything else he
may have to say about any other man
as an aid to the Democratic party"
Mr. Roosevelt Aaid that the men who
at the primary voted for Harvey D. Hin
man, In the Republican party, and John
f. Hennessy, in the Democratic party,
We're in sympathy with the Progressive
movement, and he criticised both those
canuidates Tor not continuing the fight

Hughes to carry or the fight in this State
that he had begun.
