HAS MANY ACTS IN 3 RINGS
Big Street Parade This Morning

The entertainment provided by
the Yankee Robinson show here to-
day is original, new, clean and In
structive. Many sensational ana
thrilling features abound through
out the program. They are present
ed by famous men and women, wild
animal trainers, who risk their lives
in showing ferocious beasts to the
public.
The unloading of circus has al
ways held a keen interest for young
and old and Yankee Robinson's cir
Gus affords much greater Interest
as it is said to have more animals
than all other shows combined and
carries the only auto trucks ever used
in a circus. Hundreds Of men un-
loaded hastily the immense gold and
silver ornamental cages containing
animals from every part OF the
globe. Hundreds upon hundreds OF
horses, some of them great Roman
draft horses that haul the wagons,
others are Shetland ponies that are
seen as actors in the shows pro-
gramme. A herd of elephants,
caravan of camels and some sacred
oxen were driven from the stock cars
to the show grounds, the acres OF
waterproof tents hastily erected and
the animals given food, shelter ana
water. An immense mess tent was
the first raised and here hundreds
of hungry circus people were req
with produce purchased here. no

expensive.
 The actual economy secured by the keeping of 8 small flock of chickens depends primarily upon their egg pro- duction, and this, in turn, is largely 8 matter of care. Under favorable conditions, however, 1t is estimated that 150 eggs the first year, and 12O the second is fair return from the ordinary hen. On the other hand. at least from 25 to 50 cents year must be expended for grain and other feeds the exact amount depending upon the quality of table scraps and green and insect food available. Where all the feed must be purchased, from $1 to $1.25 is allowed. Even in the most thrifty house, however, there is al- ways large quantity of table scraps, vegetable parings, and other "left overs" for the hens, so feed consists of what otherwise would be carried off the place by the garbage man.
 Although of less importance than the egg, the supply of poultry for the table furnished by the home flock is an item that can not be overlook ed. As has been pointed out, in a flock of twenty-five which the owner is perpetuating, there will be approx imately twelve or thirteen cockerels, almost all of which can be used best for food. Half of the hens must go each year also, so that, allowing for losses and for birds reserved for breeding, there still we be enough ap preciably to affect the butchers bill

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

Tn the twenty-fOurth week of the laying contest at Storrs there was a total yield of 4,372 eggs or sixty un- der last weeks production and twen- ty less than for the corresponding week last year. On account of broodi- ness among the heavy breeds the weekly production is expected to va cillate a little from week to week but not fall below 4,000 for, the next doz- en weeks or more.
 Temporarily at least the Barred Rocks nearly crowded all the others entirely off the map. Michigan Poul- try Farms pen of Barred from Lan- sing, Mich, were an easy first with yield of 58 eggs. Merritt M. Clark's S pen, of the same variety from Brook field Center, Conn.,, stood next to the top with a production of 55 eggs for the week. Fairfield Poultry Farm 8 Barred Rocks from Short Falls. N. H., Albert T. Lenzens White Rocks from North Attleboro, Mass, and Will Bar ron's White Leghorns from Bartle, England, all tied for 3rd place with 53 eggs each.
 Mention was made in this column last week of the possible utilization of infertile incubator eggs. This ought to be done but it's application cannot be universal because not everyone is operating an incubator. On the other hand a great many of Us can buy eggs at this season of the year and pfe- serve them in water glass. It will of course, be objected by some that eggs are now abnormally high and so they are but when it is remembered that eggs are selling in New York in car lots at 34 and 35 cents a dozen it seems safe to predict that within six months eggs will easily sell for twice the present price and probably more. If one wants to save few dollars on their eggs they had better plan to put them down by the middle of May Next weeks bulletin will give details regarding the use of waterglass for preserving eggs for family use.
