HoNoRs FOR WEEK DIVIDED
 IN SToRRS FCG coET

In the thirty-second week of the laying contest at Storrs the 100 hens produced i 4334 eggs or yield of over 50 per cent. 1 This is 4s eggs more than for the pre- ceeding week, but is s2 eggs less than the five year average. The honors for the week were divided among the White and Columbian Rocks, White wyan- dottes and Black and White Leghorns. A pen of White Rocks owned by Chica- tawbut Farms from Canton. Mass. hn- ished in first place with e5 eggs T. J. Enslin's pen of Columbian Rocks from Hackettstown, N. J., were in second place with 5S eggs. A pen of Leghorns owned by Francis F. Lincoln of Mt Car mel Conn. were third with a yield of 5s eggs. A pen. of Black Leghorns en- tered by F. A, Brizzee from oswayo. Pa. came in fourth with 55 eggs and Harry D. Emmon's pen of White Wyandottes from Plymouth, Conn, were in fifth with 54 eggs.
 During the first thirty-two weeks of the contest the first honors for the va rious weeks have been distributed as fol- lows:
 E Barred Rocks 15 weeks 2 White Leghorns 6 weeks
 Rhode Island. Reds weeks
 White Rocks : weeks
 White Wyandottes 5 weeks
 Black Leghorns week The season for mites and lice Is now at hand. Lice are perhaps the least injuri- ous to the hens, but nevertheless they make them uncomfortable and less pre- ductive.r In the contest here at Storrs the same treatment that was started about six years ago is being used and has | been found very efficient An ointment or saive is made by mixing equal parts of 50 per cent. amercurisl ointment and vase line. This should be mixed thorough | ly by stirring. An amount of this oint- | ment equal to the size of a pea is ap- piled below the vent, smearing the skin over an area equal to the size of a quarter. It should be remembered that ] mercurial ointment is poisonous and care | should be eHtaken that none be left where | the hens can reach it. Two or three ap- plications of this ointment year Is sui fcient to keep the hens entirely free from | lice ~ ..... , a. .-.. | The three best pens in each of the l principal varieties are as follows: Plymouth Rocks.
