BARRON'S HENS
 STILL LEAD FIELD

The end of the thirty-eixth week of the laying contest at storrs brings Tom Barron's White Wyandottes within one egg of the 1,5o0 egg mark. It also brings nine more pens including Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds and Leghorns, across the 1000 egg mark with several others close at hand.
 Tn the ten leading Connecticut pens T. W. Moore, Central Village, and C. H. Savage of Storrs have crowded out D. J. Ryan 6 Son of Bridgeport and A B. Hall of Nallingford.
 The honors for the week were all won by Leghorns. F. G. PlaSt or WallinEford, Pa, wins first with a. yield of hfty-seven eggs. Charles Heigi of Rocky River, Ohio, wins sec ond with a yield Of hfty-flve. while Tom Barron's pen is a close third with f1fty-four eggs. The total productcon for the thirty sixth week is 3s07b eggs or sixty-sevan eggs less than the pre- feeding week. The egg production of many nocks of hens will drop about this season of the year due to the lack of Succu- lent green food. Even though there are some weeds and grass in the yards it does not seem to appeal to the hens as did the soft tender grass of early spring. STo supplant this want there is now at the contest plant ready. for feeding one-tenth zero of Dwarf Essex Rape and one-hfth acre of Swiss Chard. These two plents make ideal green food for poultry. the Dwarf Essex Rape being ready to harvest in about six weeks from seed can be cut just above the central leaf bud several times and will produce an abundance of crisp green leaves. The Swiss Chard is ready to cut in about ten weeks and will continue to pro- duce an abundance of succulent green food until cold weather.
 The ten leading pens to date are as follows:
 Tom Barron. Catforth, Enghnd, White Wyandottes, 1;49s.
 Francis F. Lincoln, Mt. Carmel, White Iseghorns, 1,466.
 Merrythought Farm, Columbia White Wyandottes, 1,842

PRESERVING GAME

Every fall, as the hunters come
back from their jaunts, their bag
seems 10 be a little smaller. Yet
Sportsmen's clubs are working all oy-
er the country for legal regulations.
More game Wardens are being en-
ployed to enforce the laws. But
every few years sees some species
extinct that the older people remem-
Der as abundant.
As population grows, the game
area uaTroWs down. SpOrtsmen take
more frequent and longer vacations.
The hunting grounds acquire a Iarg-
er human population
There is a constantly increasing
number OF alien residents who speak
no English and do not understand
the game laws, nor good sportsman
ship. To their minds. song birds
that are useful in destroying insect
pests make just as good pot pie as
the scarcer game bin dis.
Luxury loving people are not con-
tempted with ordinary fowls andmeat
Some scarce titbit from the woods
is needed, something inaccessible to
thinner purses, with which they
can give an air OF distinction and
originality to their feasts. The price
is immaterials so long as the dish
is different
Thus in every region where game
birds abound, tribe of pot hunters
has grown UP. They turn the birds
that save the crops into millionaire
hotel diners. Also they are making
game birds so scarce that a man
has to travel hundreds of miles for
little sport, whereas formerly, he
could get it on a single days near
by excursion.
The wholesale hunting of game
has become a form OF monopoly that
should be stopped, What Wild life
remains is the property of the COM
mon people The hunting OF varieties
that save crops should cease, and
the killing of other kinds should be
equally shared.
