The defect in this problem. which al

that the composer overlooked the alter
native sacrifice OF the white man who
moves from 80 to 26, and giving away
the man on 90 by moving him TO l6 and
then to II, so as TO get two for one and
the winning position.

KEEP ON BREAKING
Week at StOrrS Produces GLIB
More Eggs Than Same One
Of a Year Ago.
TOM BARRON'S PEN FIRST

SroRRs. Conn, Sept. l6.-The big sur
prise in the forty-hfth week of the lay
ing contest at Storrs was the fact that
the hens laid only sixteen eggs less than
for the preceding week and relatively
G+3 moro than for tac correspondents
week a year ~ the total recorded Tor
all pens being 3.l94 eggs. Tom Bar
ron's pen of English Leghorns were irst
for the week with ~ eggs. H. u. Dem
ing's Rhode Island Reds from Winsted.
Conn, and y. W. H~endryX's Reds from
New Haven tied for second with As eggs
each. =. O. Platt's ~Leghorns from
Wallirgford. Pa. were third with n yield
OF 80 eggs for the same period. The
Storrs Stations sou milk pens made an
excellent showing for the week. the
Barred Rocks laying so eggs, the White
Leghorns A. and the White Wyan-
dottcs i6.
As the competition nears its close the
remarkable differences in the ~product'v-
ity of hens are being demonstrated. The
100 hens in the ten best pens have tn
date averaged to lay n little over II -
dozen eggs each. worth about $3.50.
The 100 hens In the ten poorest pens
have laid to date only S dozen eggs each.
worth about s2.4O.
In selecting pullets for this winters
layers II has been previously pointed out
that consideration should be given 10
those birds that have grown rapidly and
well and to those that show quality rs
indicated by a soft pi!able skin over the
breast bone and abdominal cavity. In
addition to these two consideration
quality is further Indicated by the tex
ture Of the head parts. TIE comb and
watt!es should not only be we'll devcl-
oped but should have a nice smooth
velvety tcXture \ fourth consideration
in selecting the prospective layer is that
OF capacity. \ hen in action needs lots
Of room, that Ia 10 say, room for the
digesre and reproductive organs. Such
capacity is indicated by good width be
tween the pelvic bones and also good
width between these and the rear end o'
the keel.
