WHERE TO GET MANURE.

Where to get stable manure is a
troublesome question, as many fami-
lies who formerly kept horses now
use an automobile. II only n small
quantity Is wanted usually a stable
can be found in the neighborhood that
will yield a sufficient supply for a
small garden or for a hotbed or two.
Flower gardens require manure quite
as much as vegetable gardens.
Market gardens II good sized
gardens in suburbans towns require
liberal quantities OF manure and no
substitute quite equals this article,
which is not only valuable on account
of the chemical elements 1t contains,
but because 1t also adds humus to
the soil. For hotbeds 1t is absolutely
necessary unless the hotbeds can be
heated by steam pipes.
Many readers in New Jersey have
inquired where stable manure IN
quantities can he obtained. Where the
shipments are made over the Erie or

Tom BarrOn's LeghOrns Keep
Lead in Laying Contest ut
StOrrs College.

SroRRs, Conn, Oct. l6-No more en-
tries can be accepted for the NTH an
nual laying contest that will open at
Storrs November | next. During the
past few days applications have been
received not only by letter but by tele-
graph and Marconi wireless. As a re-
suit the college has already been obliged
10 reject masy applications and thus
d~isappoint poultry breeders whose BIRDS
woul undoubtedly give a good account
Of themselves II started in the race.
The winners of the present contest are
not yet a foregone conclusion. although
there are but three weeks TO so. Dur
ing the forty-ninth week a number Of
changes occurred among the ten lead
ing pens. The English Wyandottes
passed u Connecticut pen of Leghorns
and thereby gained second place. A
Vermont pen OF Rhode Island Reds
passed two Connecticut pens OF Leg
horns. thus moving up to third place. A
Connecticut pen Of Leghorns passed a
New York pen OF the same breed and
are now In seventh position.
The total production for the week
amounted to 2.l26 egg or relatively
iOl better than for the corresponding

OF forty-seven for the week. n. w.
Hendryx's I.eghorns from New Haven,
Conn, got second place by laying forty
one egg and Tom Barron's English
Wyaudottes were IA close third with a
yield OF forty eggs. 1t is still the heavier
breeds that are largely responsible for
the sustained egg yield,
The forty-four pens OF Plymouth
Rocks, Rhode Island Reds and Wyan-
dottes averaged to lay nearly twenty
light eggs per pen, whereas an equal
number Of Leghorns averaged to hay
only fifteen eggs per pen. Although
Leghorns have been leading the contest

for that matter. nevertheless they have a
margin OF only seventeen eggs over a
pen of Wyandottes n a margin of only
eighteen ggs over a pen of Rhode ISL

Dryness Of the atmosphere Is the

this Is to nail IA narrow strip OF thin
