HENS~~ DOING WELL
They Keep at Work Right Through
the Holidays.
The hens in the laying contest at
Storrs celebrated Christmas week by
laying more eggs than in any previous
week of the competition. The pro-
duction for all pens totalled 1,769 eggs
as compared with 1,657 in the timed.
in; week, 1,476 for the corresponding
week last year and 1.189 for the cor-
responding woek two years ago.
Mrs. 11. W. Stevens birds from Still-
water. N. Y., and Tom Barron's from‘
Catforth, Eng., both White Wyatt-
dottes who won first and second ro-
spectlvely for the seventh week swap-
ped places in the'elghth week, Barron
getting first with forty-seven, and Mrs.
Stevens second with forty-live eggs.
Sunday's blizzard was the worst yet
so far as the hens are concerned. The ,
high winds found little cracka and“
crevices here and there and drove the
snow through into the houses, thus
rendering the litter no longer at for-
use. ‘ Such atoms do not lesson the
high cost of keep hens as drynoaof
terlal la a factor of prime importance.
