L. STATION BIDDY LAYS
31S EGGS IN 365 DAYS

A. NJ. Pilkey, poultryman of the
University's Northwest Experiment
Station at Crookston, reports that a
White LeghOrn hen in the stations
flock has made a new high record Of
31S eggs in 365 days. This is an in
crease Of six eggs over thc'record es-
tablished at that station a year ago
and, says Mr.. Pilkey, it is probably
the highest record made in, the mid
western states.
Six hens produced total of 1882
eggs during the year at the station,
an average of 305 eggs each. Other
records kept by the poultryman show
that 100 White Leghorn hens layed
4,116 eggs, or an average of 24l
during the year.
"These production records" says
The Northwest Monthly, official
paper of the Northwest School of
Agriculture, "are the results of years
CT selective breeding, feeding and
managing. Every bird at the station
has been trap-nested for the last six
years, and all breeding pens selected
from the highest producers, size,
type, and breed character considered.
, Production records of the dams of all
made birds used during the last five
ayears range from $50 up to 318 eggs.
THE first pen special mating for this
wear will include hens with records
ranging from 300 to 3lS eggs each.
Cockerels produced from this pen will
be used to head all pens during the
1880 mating season."
Five classes of feeds were fed these
high layers-scratch grain, laying
mash, green feeds, animal foods, and
minerals. The scratch feed was made
up of equal parts of wheat, barley,
and yellow corn; the dry mash of
equal parts of bran, flour middlings,
ground yellow corn, ground barley,
and meat scraps, plus 2 percent char
coal. Mangels constituted the green
food, and oyster shells and limestone
grit supplied the minerals

FINDS TRANTULAS

While uncrating a bunch of bana-
mas in Schulke's grocery department,
at New Ulm last week, Edward
Guth discovered a large tarantula, a
species of hairy, venomous spider,
which infests banana trees in the
tropics. A few days later, Mr.. Guth
found another, but somewhat smaller
tarantula, in different bunch Of the
fruit. Both spiders were numbed by
the cold, which enabled their capture,
alive, without difficulty, although,
normally, they are unusually swift
and active. Their bite is poisonous
and said to prove fatal. The taran-
tulas were donated to DR.. Martin
Luther college, and have been placed
in that institutions museum. They
lived for several days, in glass jar,
after being caught.-Brown Co.
