HENS sLAcKEN SOME
 IN sToRRs CONTEST
But Reserve Will Carry Through Sue
 cessfulIy is the Belief.

Storrs, Conn, May 30. 191S.-The hens in the laying trials at Storrs have yielded a little ground in the 3Oth week but they are still in good order. Not only this, but they seem to have sufficient reserve; hence there is little doubt as to the final outcome of the competition. The to- tai number of eggs for the thirtieth week was 4371, or yield of 62 1-2 Fer cent; they laid 457S last week and AIS in the corresponding week last year. The Leghorn Division struck hard last week and are still at it; they constitute 4S per cent of the birds entered in the contest, but are laying close up to 50 per cent. of the eggs.
 E. A. Ballard's Leghorns from Chestnut Hill. Pa., did the best work for the week; these ten hens laid 6S eggs. Henry E. Heine's pen of the same breed from Lakewood, N. J., got second place just as they did last week and with exactly the same yield, namely 62 eggs. A pen of Buff Wy andottes entered by H. P. Cloves of Of White Leghorns owned by Exmoor Farms, Lebanon, Pa, >ld Hollywood Farm, Hollywood, Wash, all tied for third place with a lay of 59 eggs each Oak Hill Estates Leghorns from Un- ioRtown, Pa, were in fourth position with a yield of 58 eggs for the week
 With the approach of summer wea- ther all focks everywhere are likely to fall off a little in their production and unfortunately this cannot be en- tirely obviated. Some hints are so simple that when made the uninitiated consider them of only small import ance. For instance. it is just as nec- essary that hens have water, clean l fresh water as to have feed. Add to this a bountiful supply of tender tempting green food, and then make a careful periodical examination for | lice and mites and exterminate them and in most cases more eggs will re- suit.
 The three best pens in each of the l principal varieties are as follows:

The body of man. known in the army
as Harry James, formerly Of the Second
Cavalry and once stationed at Fort
Ethan Allen. has been dragged from the
Champlain canal into which he plunged
after his escape from the Great Meadows
prison last week.
James was given a dfshonorable dis
charge from the army following his con-
vction of assaulting an elderly woman
at whose house he applied for food. He
was sentenced to several years In prison
and the sentence would have expired In
little more than month.
On Thursday. during the storm. James
was on an errand for a piece of iron
which was to be used in repairing ma
chine which had broken down at the
prison. He sought shelter in the house
of Keeper Kenyon Of the prison. Mrs.
Kenyon was alone in the house and
she ordered him out. He refused to 20
and when she tried to force him out. he
struck her with the iron and she fell I'M
conscious.
When she came to herself, James had
fed. Mrs. Kenyon Immediately gave the
alarm and blood hounds were ordered
OUT They picked UP the trail and fol-
lowed it to the edge of the canal They
were started several times and always
finished up there and We're unable to
pick the trail up again. This convinced
the officers that James was in the canal
and they dragged with the result that the
body was found. Whether or not IL was
a suicide. is not known. The place where
games disappeared in the canal Is about
two and half miles from the prison.
