EGG
LAYING CONTEST

The eleventh week of the laying
contest at storrs developed a gain OF
100 eggs over the previous week s
production The total yield for all
pens amounted to 1852 eggs as COM
pared with 1888 for the correspond
ing week last year and lacked only one
and a half dozen of being just double
the, number Of eggs laid in the cor
responding week two years ago.
The five top pens for the week were
all within four eggs of each other. A.
w. Rumery's pen of Rhode Island
Reds from DanviIIe, N. H, won first
pens of White Wyandottes owned by
Obed g. knight, Bridgeton. r. T., and
p. w. Backus, Chatham, Ont, tied for
second place with AZ eggs each. Abel
Latham's pen of White Wyandottes
from Brierhe1d, Eng, and F. D.
Clark's pen of Reds from Berlin, Ct,
have tied for third place with 40 eggs
each
Each year at the beginning of the
contest a considerable per cent. of the
eggs collected are under standard
weight and in consequence of their
small size have to be marketed as sec
onds. The eggs, however, come up in
size rather rapidly after the pullets
begin laying. During the eleventh
week a White Leghorn pulIet from
Saratoga Springs, N. Y, laid the only
egg so small that it was entirely count
ed out as being unmarketable. On
the other hand a Rhode Island Red
from Attleboro. Mass, two Reds from
TerryviEe, Conn, a Leghorn from
Jacksonville, VT. and a Leghorn from
Windhann,. N. Y, all laid abnormaIly
large eggs weighing from 8 to IL
ounces each. Such eggs are. of
course, desirable enough where they
~ fFoxy
can be disposed of locally. They arg
not, however, suitable for commercial
purposes since all egg cases and other
containers are designed for a stand
ard product weighing "a ounces to a
dozen. If a shipper includes in his

almost sure to be broken in transit.

ASPHALT
DEPOSIT NEAR
WOODF Ord
NOTHING BUT TRANSPORTATION
FACILITIES LACKING TO OPEN
BIGGEST FIELD OF THE KIND IN
THE UNITED STATES.

A Schneider of New York City is
here looking after his asphalt inter
ests. He has large holdings of asphalt
lands near Woodford and is interest
ed in transportation that he may get
his product to market. Mr., Schneider
says the problem of transportation is
the only problem to be solved to make
the asphalt mines and the town of
Woodford one of the busiest industrial
places in the union. He says the
amount of asphalt there is so large
that it can scarcely be estimated, the
many uses of asphalt are known and
there is a sharp demand for the prod
uCt. He says one roofing concern
alone offers to take twenty thousand
tons year. Mr.. Schneider sent bar
rel of it to a chemist in Germany some
years ago. The chemist asked for five
more and they were sent. The next
order was for twenty barrels, and the
next for a full car Mr.. Schneider is
thoroughly of the opinion that the
quality of the Woodford asphalt is
sufficient to give it a place in all the
markets of the world and he is anxious
to see some means of transportation
provided He is negotiating with a
railway company now to build a line
to Woodford. A short line Of road
from Ardmore to Woodford ought to
be a paying proposition. Every engi-
neer who has ever passed upon the
states that the tonnage is suf-
hcient to justify the building of a road,
and the Rock Island at one time would
have built the spur to Woodwork if
the commercial department of the road
had not made an adverse report as to
the market for the output, and if he
can convince a railway company that
he can do so, he can induce the build
ing of the road.
