also a demonstration to show how
proper management will increase the
egg production and profits of the farm

The plan is to have one poultry
keeper in each community Of the vari-
Gus counties enter the contest. The

tire poultry flock as nearly as possible
according to directions furnished by
the pOultry-extenson workers through

Is to report expenses and income from
his flock for the month. This plan will
stimulate better methods of poultry
management by demonstrating on
typical farm in the neighbOrhoOd the
results which can be secured by prop
er care of the flock.
According to reports Of the extern
sion workers, 81 farm flocks are en-
tered in the contest. with an average
Of 155 hens to the farm. In February
the hens in the contest averaged 81
eggs. The value of eggs to the farm
amounted to $32.0S, the cost of feed
per farm S1S.17, and the average net
profit 1891. In the four months, No
vember, December, January and Feb
ruary. eggs valued at $1OO.53 were pro-
duced on each farm at cost for feed
OF S13.5O for each farm. White Leg
horns averaged rs eggs for the four
months and led all breeds in egg
yields.
The highest record in a similar con-
test held in the state last year was
made by N. P. Hollar, living near
Harding, who secured an average pro-
duction OF 140 eggs from a flock of
400 birds.

REMINDERS OF OLD LONDON
Interesting Discoveries Made During
the Process Of Dock Extension IN
the British Capital.

The port Of London authorities
during excavations in connection
with dock extensions have been keen
ly watching for evidences of an
cient and prehistoric London.
Though they did not find so much
as they expected, they were graft
fed with several interesting dlscov-
cries.
Distinct traces of buried forest
were found at the bottom OF the
South Albert dock, which is probably
part of that of which Pepys speaks
in his diary as having been found at
Blackwell.
A number of beautiful walking
sticks were made of some of the hard
bog oak found in this buried forest,
and visiting colonial premiers and
other public men were only too eager
to secure them as souvenirs.
1t became nee, ssary to remove the
path known as Manor way, which
traversed the lock of the dock, and
evidence was found to show that this
was the old Roman route between
Essex and Kent. Some Roman pot
teries were discovered hereabouts.
All those relics of past ages are
being collected with view to estab-
fishing either Port of London mu-
scum, or augmenting the other pub.
lie collections in London.
