lesherns Did Some Real Sprint;ng in
 the Thirty Second Week.

Storrs, Conn.,, June 16.-The Leg horns did some real sprinting in the thirty second week of the laying con- test at Storrs. The contending for weekly honors was closer this past week than in any other since the con test opened in November. Frank E. Hancock's Leghorns from Jackson vile, Vt. and Windsweep Farms pen
 of the same breed from Bedding
 Ridge, Conn, tied for first place with so eggs each. Michigan Poultry Farms Barred Rocks from Lansing and two pens of Leghorns entered bN Oak Hill Estate, Uniontown, Pa. and George H, Stannard. Ottawa, Kans.; all tied for second with 59 eggs each.
 Another pen of Leghorns entered by ' 'indsweep Farm won theid position
 with yield of 5s eggs. Grant But ley & Sons White Wyandottes from
 Butler, Pa, weer fourth with a pro-
 duction of 57 eggs. As further evil dence of the fact that every pen seems 10 be doing their bit" 1t may be said that two pens of Leghorns from Con necticut, two from Pennsylvania, and one from New York all tied with 56
 eggs each. On an average the Leg
 horns outlaid the heavy breeds by 10 eggs per pen. The total yield for all eggs over last weeks yield.

 but it equally Is unwise for the egg farmer to nurse along a lot of birds that are not earning their board. This then is the psychological moment to spend a little time in the hensouse getting acquainted with the birds. If there are any who are really quitting the job and starting to mott they ought to go to the market.
