We see from this report that all the
breeds come in for some of the honors.
The W. Leghorns won the first and
second places for individual hens for the
three months.
This is the conclusion these tests have
decided as rule, that it is not so much
matter of breed as of the strain.
There are laying strains in all of the
breeds. These must be selected, either
by trap nesting, or from the form and
looks of the bird. Experts can, no
doubt, tell very closely from the looks
and shape of hen, whether she is
good layer or not.
This was tried out in this contest.
They selected a number of hens on this
basis, as poor layers. They put them
in pen by themselves, gave them the
same feed and care as the others had,
and they ran far behind.
Some hens have capacity for much
feed, but it goes mostly to fat and not
to egg production.
There were two hens in the contest
for two seasons that have not laid an
egg.
A man must select his good layers the
same as he does the good mixers among
his cows. Every farmer understands
this. Some cows belong to the beef
breeds, and some to the dairy stock, and
yet there are some fine mixers among
the beef breeds, some good dairy cows
among the short horns.

November, December and January are
the three most important months for
eggs, as it is then eggs are the highest

BILLS IN LEGISLATIVE GRIST
MILLS
MEASURES IN MANY ASSEMBLIES MAY BE-
COME LAWs-WHAT STATES ARE DOING.
Consider a bill respectfully may
develop into law some day.
Every legislator carries up his sleeve
a few bills, which he is liable to spring
at any time.
Some of these bills are freaks, but
these seem somehow to die a natural
death and hurt nobody.
Over 500 bills have been introduced in
the Illinois legislature within the past
three months.
1t is fair to suppose other states have
a relative quota.
Here are some of the bills now in the
legislative grist mills:
Governor Alexander has signed the
prohibition bill, which act makes the
manufacture or sale of intoxicating Ii
quor in Idaho unlawful after Jan. 1,
1916.
MICHIGAN
Senator Straight's Statuary bill, pro-
viding for the submission of state wide
prohibition at the general election next
year, is expected to have substantial
majority in the Senate, and it's support
ers claim that it will receive the votes of
at least two-thirds of the House mem
bers. The House endorses the bill of
Senator Morford, which makes it un-
lawful for minor to smoke or receive
cigarets.
NEW JERSEY
The Senate has passed the local option
bill by vote of eleven to nine with one
Senator not voting. The bill provides
for referendum on the question of local
option when thirty per cent. of the citi-
zens of a municipality request a special
election.
VERMONT
Governor Gates has signed the pro-
hibition referendum bill. AS result
the voters will decide at the municipal
election in March, 1916, whether to sub
stitute statewide prohibition for local
option.
The six remaining prohibitory law en-
forcement measures introduced by a
"dry" caucus have passed by the Iowa
senate. The measures passed were: To
permit confscation of vehicles used in
transportation of liquor for unlawful
purposes.
To provide prison sentence for persis-
tent bootleggers.
To provide prison sentence for third
violation of liquor injunction.
To provide that liquor injunction
be state wide instead of judicial district
wide.

LESSONS FROM REPORT OF THE LAYING
CONTESTS
The experimental stations in different
parts of the country are doing much
good for the poultry man. These sta
tions are carried on by the state and
some by the government. A very sue
cessful one is located at Mountain Grove,
Missouri, and is operated by an expert,
who has had many years of experience
in the poultry business.
This is national and international, for
all the different breeds of chickens. They
learn some very important facts about
the chickens from actual experiments,
not from single case or instance, but
from repeated tests. This is the most
practical way of learning the business.
Their reports are very interesting, as
they give them from month to month.
This contest began the first of last
November.

Their answer to that question is
there IS no best breed. In the contests

the three months November, December
and January. The five hens in the pen
laid 1872 eggs. The next best was Buff
