INTERNATIONAL EGG
 LAYING CONTEST

All the hens in the laying contest and more particularly the heavy breeds are speeding up for the finish that is only six weeks off. The pro- duction in the forty-sixth week to- tailed 3,154 eggs, only 40 less than. for the preceding week and relative Iy 759 more than for the correspond ing week year ago. Thus during the past three weeks the hens in the present competition, have gained near 1y 1,8OO eggs over the production for the corresponding period in the for mer contest.
 In general the Leghorns are of couSse- expected to lay more summer eggs and on the whole they have per- haps. The. heavier breeds, however, shut out the LeghorT1s entirely in the lforty-sixth week. The Rhode Island Reds of Charles O. PoIhemus; New burg N.. Y., won first place with a yield of 55 eggs. Tom Barron's Wy andottes from Catforth, England laid 53 eggs thus getting second place and D. B. Warmers Reds from Bridge ton, R. r., got third with yield of 49 for the week. Four individuals in the last named pen made perfect scores for the week by laying seven eggA each.
 A great many of the hens in the 1 contest are now shedding their feath- CTS, in fact more than 16o were | singled out as mou1ters last week. 1 These early nouIters will, with their new feathers, of course look much more neat and trim than their sis ters who are neglecting their ward 1robe. These early nnou1ters will, fur l thermore, be in fine shape for fall shows. They are not. however, the hens that are producing the most eggs 1 R. I. Red No. 261. Barred Rock Ko. t59, White Leghorn No. 584, White wyandotte' No. 993 still look rough and -unkempt. One might judge that these hens have no idea of molting for a month or more. Their egg rec ords are respectively 235s 23O, 226, and 226. These hens and a host of others are too busy laying eggs, they haven't time as yet to grow new feathers
