Conn., and two pens of Legherns entered by Meadow edge Farm. Cedarhurst. L. L. and George Phillips. Seymour. Conn.,, all tied for fourth place with B eggs each. The total yield for all pens was 1,122 eggs, which is 15s better than for the first week and 106 better than the av- craze for this period.
 great many beginners in the poul- try business have no real standard or guide by which tv judge whether or not the egg yield of their fiocks is sat- isfactory, The management of the laying contest has collected egg rec ords and other data on thousands of hens during the past eight years From these records have been compiled the following list showing the number of eggs each hen in the flock should lay on the average during each month of the year. Small family f1ocks that have special care and attention can undoubtedly be made to do better, on the other hand the total of 160 is be- lieved to be approximately five dozen eggs more than the average New Eng land farm hen lays, and probably no reader needs to be told that five dozen eggs would easily sell today for $5 Number of eggs hens ought to lay: November 5, December '.

One Bird Builds Several Nests.

Some birds get very nervous and be- come much excited if you approach their nests, and among them it the blaek-throated green wdrbler. An other thing about this bird is that it frequently builds several nests. Whether this is because it changed it's mind after building the first one and decided to select a better location or with the deliberate purpose of deceiv- ing any intruders who might come along is not known The bird is very beautifully colored, the top of it's head and the region nearly down to the shoulders being a yellow green, the back olive green, the throat and breast jet black and the under parts white with some yellow in them at times.
