AVERAGE OF IA EGGS PER YEAR

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears an interesting ac-
count of three American egg-laying
contests. In the following extract ap-
pears a statement of some of the re-
suits:
THE unusually severe winter in
Connecticut with frequent periods
when the mercury was far below zero
gave the contesting hens a serious set
back in their winter production. Many
excellent records were made, but the
aggregate of eggs laid was considerab-
" less than otherwise would have been
the case. The average production for
the $50 hens (10 hens to the pen) was
