A decided change in form of the six
leading pens in the Thirteenth Philadel-
ohia North American International Egg
Laying Competition, at Milford, Del,
where it is staged on the grounds Of
Delaware state board of agriculture and
lnder its supervision, came about in the
forty-flrst week.
High pen. No. 81, produced top score
FOR the week, with 80 eggs and increased
its lead over all of its followers; second
PEN No. So. scored II eggs, and third
pen, No. %, produced 25 eggs. Pen 2.
which last week was in fifth place, ran
up a score of % eggs and jumped pen
23' which pen laid 10 eggs. Because pen
rs laid but IA eggs, pen 65. with a yield
Of ls eggs, went into sixth place.
These scores, all Of which, with the
exception Of that made by pen "a, show
the effects of the hot weather in the lat

different face on the probable ultimate

The distance between first pen and its
