THIRD ANNuALslNTERNATloNAL
 EGG LAYING CONTEST
Report for the Thirty eighth Week.
 Ending July 24. 1914.

The Experimental Pens in the lay ing contest are not of course in com petition for prizes. They have been entered by the Storrs experiment sta ton for the express purpose of finding out whether or not the rations being used in all the competing pens can be improved. It is perfectly obvious that ducted 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 one of these Experimental Pens of Leghorns have pushed the English Wyandottes so closely. Pen A has had no meat food of any sort since the contest opened but as a substitute therefor has had all the sour milk they cared to consume. On Wednesday aft erneon July 22nd hen No. 411X in this pen laid the egg that tied Barron's Wyandottes. All the next day these two pens see-sawed for first place. Thursday morning this Experimental Pen of Leghorns was leading the con- test. By eight o'clock the English Wyandottes had tied the score and at nine o'clock they were leading, but hen No. 411X again came to the rescue and tied the score and thus 1t con- IAituCQ IOT LnG TGmaI0QGr or another day. Pen 42 would have been leading except for the fact that one bullet laid an undersized egg that could not be counted. On Friday morning Barron's $ birds got a little earlier start and took the lead and held 1t until early after noon when hen No 418 tied the score and hen No. 417 an hour later put this Experimental Pen one egg ahead at the close of the contest week. The Storrs Experiment Station will continue these Experimental Pens in the next con- test and for the same purpose, namely to see if the ration can be improved upon and not for the purpose of com peting for prizes.
 Honors for the week were all won by small margins. The English Leg horns got away with first place with a yield of 57 eggs. followed closely by a Connecticut pen of Leghorns owned by Thomas w.. Moore of Central Village hatsyielded 56 eggs. while an Ohio pen of the same breed owned by Charles Heigl of Rocky River and a Connecti- cut pen owned by George A. Cosgrove of West Wilmington, tied for third place with 54 eggs each. The total yield for all pens amounted to 2954 eggs. Not since the close of the eigi1- teenth week nearly five months ago have the hens yielded less than 5000 eggs. n Hundreds of visitors will see the race in person during the coming week on account of the annual mid simmer meeting of the Connecticut Poultry

INVESTMENT PURCHASES
 IN NEW YORK MARKET
Wall Street Moved in Opposite Diree-
 tion to most Financial Markets.

4.
 New York N IT., July 2e e-The New York stock exchange today moved in a direction contrary to that of most other financial markets of the world It gave no heed to the alarming con where securities of all classes, inciud- ing government funds, fell to a lower level because of the Servian situa- ton.
 The local market not only took fur ther foreign offerings in large volume, but proceeded to buy heavily for its own account, much of the buying rep resenting investment purchases of more substantial volume than had been witnessed for years. The bar gain hunter was much in evidence and with the aid of leading financial interests turned the tide and caused a hurried scrambling to cover of an az gressive short interest.
 Reversal from recent pessimistic favorable advices received from abroad. Berlin was the chief factor, not only in this respect, but in the support that the market gave to prices here. Canadian Pacific. the course or greatest weakness recently and a prime Berlin favorite. was taken in large amounts at almost uninterrupted advances. The German capital also bought extensively of other American shares. while Paris and London con- tinued to unload here.
 In fact, Berlin was almost the only foreign center where anything like normal conditions prevailed. London and Paris doing their utmost to resist trading, while other foreign exchanges went to the extreme of suspending operations altogether. Of the day s total business, which aggregated about S00,0 shares, Berlin probably took 25, ,000 while Paris, London. Vienna, Amsterdam and some less important centers were said to have sold fully twice that amount on balance.
 It is possible that the gold engage ments to London and Paris might have assumed larger proportions but for the high rates of insurance fixed by marine companies. The war risk was fixed at S5,0o0 per s10.0o.000 as against s1,250 on the previous day. This materially reduced the profit to shippers, and what is more important. called attention to the hazards con nected with such transactions. 1 At least one company was disposed ! to make a material concession in the insurance rate on shipments made ir vessels of American registry. but some made a hat all around rate and all barred vessels flying the Austrian flag

CURING ALFALFA,

The same principles apply in curing alfalfa as in curing other hays. True curing is effected by the transpiration of water through the leaves or in oth-. CT words. by willing, and not by sun burning. As soon as the hay is in a wilt 1t should be thrown into wind rows In order to allow the wilting process to continue. When cured tough" it should be put into shocks. it is impossible to state how much time is required here for curing, as it depends upon weather conditions and the amount of moisture in the ground. In favorable weather hay cut in the morning may be put into the shock in the afternoon, where 1t should remain until well cured, even if this requires several days. The shocks should be narrow and tall as can be made to stand, and they should be combed down well to facilitate the shedding of water. They should be kept well built up and packed down in the center, so that in settling they will shed water well. Each forkfu1 of hay should be put down so that the stems will lie straight. instead of being doubled up and mashed down. Hay caps made of canvas will protect the shocks against serious damage in rainy weather.
 The one point to emphasize in curing alfalfa is to cure it without sunburn- ing and the consequent loss of leaves. Wmch are Ino most valuable part of the crop. It Is a good pan to cut the alfalfa in the evening. before the dew has fallen. or in the morning. after the dew is off. If the crop is very heavy, a tedder can be used to ad vantage in the late forenoon or early afternoon after cutting With good drying weather the hay can sometimes be raked and cooked the same day 1t is cut even though 1t appears some what green.
 Alfalfa is sometimes put into the cock and stack or mow too green. but 1t is more frequently allowed to dry out too much. The leaves form the best part of the alfalfa hay. When al- falfa hay is cured in the swath, the leaves dry much more rapidly than the stems. and when handled drop on somewhat more easily than the clover leaves, on account of slender attach ment,
 When the hay is partly cured in the swath, and cooked quite green. the moisture from the stems keeps the leaves damp, and both dry out to- gether. Besides saaving more of the leaves. hay of a better color and higher in nautritive value is secured by t1iit method.

 Owing to the revolution in Mexico. the Panama canal tolls controversy. and other international matters, the Monroe Doctrine is as live an issue to- day as it was when it was formulat- ed by President Monroe in his mes sage te Congress on December 2, 1s2s, The Monroe Doctrine, designed to prevent interference by European powers in the afrairs of American countries. was occasioned by the for nation in Europe of the so-called .hoiy aIliance''an arrangement be- tween France.

Austria and Prussia by which they were bound to suppress all deficiencies to republican, ism and aid each other in lnaintain- ing the nonarehical system through out Europe It was supposed that | the '.hoIy alliance' desired to extend their operations to the Nsw world aisos especially with refsEence to the suppression of the rebels in the spanssh colonies. Spain had just lost most of its New World possessions, and republics had been established in South and Central America which had received the recognition of the IUnited States There is little doubt that the continental powers of Eu- rope proposed to aid In the restora- tfon of the n1onarchical system In thsse counties. and 1aonroe's message was in erect an announcenent that the United States would not tolerate I'such interference On this question England sided with the republic, and the ..noiy aIliance'' made 10 attempt to carry out their project.
