F. E. REcKWITH NOW
 ON INACTIVE LIST Was Recalled to Newport But Found Unable to Resume His Duties.

Frank E. Beckwith, B. M. second class, who was discharged from active service in the U. $. N. R. F., on ac- count of serious accident in Aug ust, 1877, was recalled to Newport dur ing the past week for service.
 Upon arrival at the war college he was given medical examination and it was found necessary to place him on the inactive list for a period of one year, as his present condition is such that he is still unable to attend to any of his duties there.
 Mfr. Beckwith, who is we'll known in Norwich as a conductor on the Shore Line. is now staying with his parents in South Windham, but should his condition improve as it has in the past he will be able to resume his work on the cars early in the sum- mer.
 Dr. c. c. Gildersleeve, his attending physician, states that he is improving wonderfully as at the time he left the Baclzus hospital the latter part of De- tober it was thought that his knee would be stiff as the point was very badly injured and the knee cap was broken into four pieces when he was run into by an automobile. He was riding motorcycle at the time.

sToRKs HENS IN
 SCRAMBLE FOR FIRST. Total Egg Production Last Week Was
 3,272.

In the 17th week of. the laying con test at Storrs there was a. real scram ble for first position. Jules r. Fran cais' Barred Rocks from West Hamp ton Beach, L. l., Richard Aliens Rhode Island Reds from Pittsfield, Mass, and W. E. Atfinson's White Leghorns from Wallingford. Conn.,, all tied for first place with 49 eggs each. Obed C.. Knights White Wyandottes from Bridgeton, L. l., squeezed into second place wit ha yield of 46 eggs. Tom J. Adamson's Barred Rocks from Laurel Quebec, and A. F. Robinson's White for third place with AZ eggs each. The Agricultural college pen of Oregons from Corvallis, Ore, and Braeside Poultry Farms White Leghorns from Stroudsburg, Pa, tied for fourth place with A eggs each.
 The total production of all pens amounted to 3,272 eggs, or a yield of nearly 47 per cent. This means a gain of more than 470 eggs as compared with last weeks production.
 The management of the contest only narrowly avoided trouble last week with the litter; some new straw was purchased for the purpose of making the houses more comfortable. This straw. however, was damp at the time of baling and in consequence was musty. and mouldy. Fortunately for the birds in the competition, the straw was first tried out in some experi- 1 mental coops where it promptly start ed something; inside of two days l many of the hens were out of condi- ton, the most notable symptom being rapid respiration. The musty straw had caused lung trouble.
 The three best pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows: Barred Plymouth Rocks.
