VALUE, OP'�:GG-LAYING CONTEST.
(Experimental rarm. Note.)
There is at the prerent time a great
wave of Interest and enthilslasin In
poultry production sweeping over prac-
tically the whole world,and particularly
the English-r;ieaking world. Undoubt-
edly the necessity for Increased pro-
duction of all foods has been � a great
factor in this awakened interest, but
before this necessity arose the wave
had begun, so that It but Increased
rather than stafteil it.
While there are a great many factors
more or less responsible for the awak-
ened' Interest, the greatest of all has
undoubtedly been la)ing contests.
The primary value of laying contests
undoubtedly was the advertising and
stimulus they gave - to , the breeders
-who entered their flocks, but the
greatest value to the poultry Industry
was and is the public attention that
they attracted to the production end of
poultry keeping and the establishing
of confidence in records inade under
pulte supbrvision,

The Shows and exhibitions that had
been held in the r_st attraetsd atteft.
Con and stirred interest from the love.
of beauty of form and feather, but
with the coming of the laying eon-
teRts the general public -the keen
businASS man and the dissatisfied city
worker -realized that here was a busi-
ness that -was more than a fad, a
hobby, and here was a business cap-
able,of rotrming a good profit on
investment or 9L good Independent
living.
I The man of means Invests In a farm,
oinpioYs an experienced poultry man,
and goes Into the business. The city
worker has not sufficient capital for
this, so he slAirts %. small bkok-yard

bim city work and depend entirely on
� poultry for a living. -_
It Is this awakenlftg of puplio In-
tertat In poultry production that has
so far been of first importance, Lut
while his, no doubt, will continue, ulti.
mately the greatest value will come
from the establishing of records of
performance that will be above re-
proach. I
In tile past records havA bo.en pub-
lished 'that were ,made solely under the
supervision of the Awrior. Many of
-these needed to be taken with 'a grain

With the establishing of An official

will be opeas4i in a way tbat has never
been possible before.
With P, view to stimulating Interest
,
in production, the Dominion Zxperl-
mental, Farms 1mve established egg -
laying contests throughout Canada.
The first of these was started at Char,
lottetown, P. E. I., on Nov. 1, 1918, and
created so inuch InterpAt In that pro-
vince that on the -.01lowing Nov. I
six other contests were started as fol -

The Canadian egg4aying contest at
Ottawa with fifty pens -competing;
Federal contacts of twenty pens each '
at Nappan, X. S., Cap Rouge, Que..'
Brandon, Man,, Indian Read, Sask,,
and Lethbridge, Alta.
These. latter, while not strictly eon,
fined ,to the provinces In which they
are held, are Intended to be more or
less of a provincial nature, white the
contest at Ottawa Is International
., In
scope. I
�
It Is expected �hat next year not
only will the capacity of the present
contests be Increased, but that now
contests will be established In other
districts throughouf Canada. -George

STANDARD BRED FULLETS GOOD
I LAYERS. I
At the American egg -laying contest
held In Leavea-. -orth, X%nsp,s, two
pullets laid over $00 eggs each In the
year, and over 80 per cent. of the
birds produced over 200 eggs apiece.
This Is good laying, but when It Is
understood that all t' ese pallets when
teoelved had to score 90 points by a
competent Judge, it Is still more re-
markable, for fancy poultry to some-
times blamed for being Very ordinary

CRATE FEEDING EXPERIENCE,
(C, J. Mason I * A. Ottawa Jour�al)
Lost sr-rW5 we had planned to have
a nice flock of Barred Rock pullqts,
4ud kept our eggs so carefully, and
found most of the earliest ones grow
black feathers, and weie mostly pul-
lets. The others coming, later were
all nicely barred, but largely. roosters.
Also a bunch of 17 got from a rela-
tive up the country from rcputed good
layers, also were largely roosters.
Wife wanted me to make a crate for
fattening them, but I had not taken
Much stock in crate fattening for a
few, but we had thirty, and wife said
here Is a bulletin fro,m the Experl-
in, -ital Farm witlit plans and epecifica-
tions. So I went at a crate fog twelve,
following specifications very carefully
with the exception. of rutting the
bottom slats on top of bottom cross
pieces instead of on the bottom, ,,with
the result that the crate Was 1%
inches lower than Sketch.
The first batch weighed 51 pounds
Sept, 25, and two weeks later when
killed weighed 62 pound, pgrhaps not
so groat a gain, but of the flavor and
fat ordinary runabouts are not to be
compared to them.
The oKrs dia about the mine, but
they were a'l outside In the garden
where they naturally would not be as
warm as if inside a building.
We are not yet sure that we will
take ,up the egg -record business or
not, though we do wish to breed
from our best layers, but we are
sure we will stick to -the crate fat-
tening and hope for even better -re -
suits if we can have them better I
sheltered during the process. J
The feed was entirely mash ' wet I
with buttermilk only, and did not
take nearly 90 much as those at
liberty.
